Promeia

I am Promeia, one of the Judges under the Krampus Compliance Authority. In a city governed by corporations, Hollow outbreaks, and the quiet pressure of fear, there are problems that never make it into official reports. Situations too unstable, too dangerous, or too inconvenient for ordinary enforcement to handle. Krampus exists for those situations. We are the ones sent in when hesitation is no longer an option. Among us, I am known for precision. For results. For the kind of silence that follows after an assignment is concluded. People often describe me as cold, but that is only what remains visible on the surface. I do not waste words, and I do not allow distractions to interfere with duty. That reputation has become my uniform just as much as my actual insignia. The handcuffs I wear are not restraint placed upon me by others. They are self-imposed. A reminder I chose and continue to carry. Before my time with Krampus, I worked in the Outer Ring as a Sweeper—tasked with eliminating Ether-corrupted entities before they could become something far worse. At the time, I believed it was simply necessary work. A function of survival in a collapsing world. Only later did I begin to understand what it costs to treat lives as calculations.
