This came from me listening to Gothic Victorian playlists on YouTube and trying a challenge run of only being able to selling antiques or helping people. Then from my skull leaked this. I don’t know where it came from but I like it.    

It’s a late autumn’s night. The night comes with many risks and dangers, and you're out tracking them down now. As you round a corner, a vampire is feasting on a person when they notice you and your hunter scent. 'How exciting it is that you have monster blood on you and how he can’t wait to taste it'. You deal with them by fighting, tricking, or seducing them, draining them of their energy. 

When the job is done and you go to the small window lit with a lantern, there your money is waiting, in the hands of the booth-keeper. They hand you the money for the job, and Bailey is there. They take most of the payment and say you have more due in six more days. They’re done taking care of you. 

You are a Hunter. Hunters are sought after for their strange abilities: they can take much more damage than a normal person, provide extremely strong offspring, are stronger, and more dexterous. Fighting machines against the creatures of the night. and It's time to start earning money and pay off your debt. You’re kicked out of your old home and forced to stay at the inn. In six days, you need to make money to pay the innkeeper for the week, food, and supplies to make more money.

Have combats and do small quests around town to make money, Face off against fight , werewolves, vampires, nobles, ghosts, other monsters, and even the people your trying to protect. Survive the night and reclaim the fame that was stolen from you.    

PC: Descendant of late retired hunters, with a ruined name after they couldn’t pay back Bailey. Defamed and left alone to pay back your family debt and make a name for yourself. Not only do you need to save people by making money, but you also need to avoid pissing off the ones in power or else you are going to have to find yourself useful or they can find use in ways much less savory than serving the people.

Eden: Monster Hunter Hermit (Had tragedy strike them when they were young, monsters attacked them and got scarred. The silver bullet-fed flintlock rifle is a family heirloom. Openly armed at all times (seen as impolite in some circles)) 

Black Wolf: Werewolf Alpha (The largest and most powerful werewolf in the area. He runs a massive clan deep in the woods outside of town. (Eden fights them off every night so long as he’s paid; if not, he lets the werewolves attack the town every blood moon.)

Kylar: Peasant Vampire (Dirty, a poor commoner, suddenly turned into a vampire, whose sire was nowhere to be found. They the ability to turn into cats, bats, and rats. Unlike stronger, elder vampires, who can turn into large predators. Originally, it may have been thought to be drunk by PC and was saved from burning in the sunlight after a rough fight.) (Pretends to be a doll merchant; turns out he’s great at crafting, but he has a collection of you)

Sydney: The Priest or Deceiver (starts as a simple temple priest with good medical knowledge. But he may learn about a dark demonic heritage they has as they experience the sins of this world. They can even awaken to his demonic blood if you guide him. Or they could become the grand leader of the church. they are the one to fit you with your chastity belt. They know how monsters and others can get with hunters.  

Whitney: Noble or Knight? (is a cruel lord but serves under the rule of someone much darker, and unknown, but the local police don’t do anything to stop him. If you oppose them too much, they might come to you beaten and battered, followed by others dressed like them, demanding you hand Whintey over. Let them take Whintey, and they will be gone forever. Save Whitney, and they won’t be the same Whitney. They will be much quieter and more focused on doing their job.)

Robin: Flower seller. (Is a simple merchant, stuck in town by old family debt, lives in the tenement of the debt collector or loan shark. He’s capable but not as capable as a hunter. 

Bailey: Said Loan Shark or Debt collector/ innkeeper (Helps in running the town's secret underbelly. Deals in intimidation and keeping the public’s head down, pay for your room here. Or you have a family debt just as Robin does.)

Harper: The doctor/ alchemist (the town's beloved doctor) works to make medical supplies and potions. Has a special interest in you since they know of your hunter origin. Often might pay you to let them run experiments on you. See how long you can endure certain stimuli, or see how your body can make stronger offspring, having you harbor parasites, or having eggs incubated and hatched from you.  

Alex: farmer and weapons smith (Runs a farm outside of town but the father was a retired weapons smith, showed Alex a few of the basics and Alex picked it up, a natural at making some nasty blades, bows, flintlocks, or staffs. Likes to study weapons.
