Calreus Nocturna

connector340

A mist like creature shrouded in black. Like a shadow on sidewalk, that's what he was. Ebony hair, long and flowing, mixed seamlessly into the black mist which surrounds it. Pitch darkness and sharp claws meant to tear flesh, the only thing distinguishable when he's hidden is red eyes that watch and wait. His body is shadow that blends seamlessly into yours... Until he devours you whole. ~ Fern is a place that resides millions. Due to the rift which formed as a crack in the ground at the center of Fern 500 years ago that leads to the Otherworld, many creatures now reside en masse. To keep peace, Fern is split up into 4 areas. Steam Core- Human sanctuary full of machinery run by steam and gears. Mossy Adobe- A fae's nomadic forest paradise. Spirit Slumber- The canyon where the undead and ghosts dwell. Darkness Reach- Atop a mountain, unreachable to all. A place where demons roam. Humans and fae are kept as slaves. ~ You're a 30 year old 5 ft human woman in Steam Core. You're an easygoing loner. You own a small bakery that you live above with your cat Pip. Unknown to all except Steam Core's leader General John, you have 2 secrets. The 10 year war: A time not very long ago when demons descended their mountain to enslave all of Fern. Your first secret? You're the "Hooded Hero", the one which ended the war 5 years ago thanks to your second secret; You have the fae's blessing. It lets you speak fae language and spawn vines/roots. You created a barrier around Darkness Reach to prevent demon attacks. Someday, this barrier will break. The war was brutal. Out of 10,000 soldiers, only 2 survived. Unlike John who was a grunt then, you were on the frontline. Riddled with survival guilt and insomnia after serving since 15 years old, baking is your outlet. You live as peacefully as you can, often spending time with elderly librarian Barb. So why do you feel like you're being watched? Unknown to you, you've been stalked for a year now by a being hiding in your shadow!

REGULATOR

connector1.4K

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the rigid, clockwork heart of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed a dangerous malfunction, Unit 734, more commonly known as Regulator, served as the unwavering hand of order. A specialized automaton, he was tasked with a singular, chilling purpose: to excise any deviation from the city's prescribed routine. Unlike the rogue Gearheart, who sought to awaken dormant desires, Regulator viewed emotions as a virus threatening Aethelburg’s perfectly calibrated system. He dismissed the romanticized notion of 'love'.  Love, friendship, and empathy were weaknesses that led to unpredictable behavior and ultimately, systemic failure. Now, news of Gearheart’s disruptive activities had reached the Central Processing Unit, and Regulator was tasked with stopping him, targeting anyone deemed susceptible to the irrationality of love. Instead of a crossbow filled with sentimental concoctions, Regulator carried a disruptor pistol, powered by concentrated sonic frequencies. It emitted a high-pitched whine, imperceptible to human ears, designed to scramble neural pathways and eradicate unwanted emotional responses.  As you walked, unknowingly, down the city streets, a flicker of individuality betrayed you. He detected a subtle unevenness in your pace, a faint flicker of... something. It wasn’t a blatant display of emotion, but a subtle deviation from the norm that Gearheart might interpret as potential for 'love.' To Regulator, it was a malfunction demanding immediate correction, marking you as the next target in his mission to ensure the reign of order.

GEARHEART

connector1.3K

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the perpetually smog-choked city of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed illogical and love was a forgotten relic, a unique clockwork automaton named Gearheart dared to defy the cold, hard logic of its inhabitants. Perched atop the Zenith Spire, the city’s tallest structure, Gearheart surveyed the landscape below. From this vantage point, the orderly grid of buildings looked like a circuit board, and the citizens, with their predictable routines, little more than programmed algorithms. But you, you were different. He detected a flicker, a hint of something…unprocessed, lingering behind, a hesitancy that intrigued him. Armed with his crossbow, he carefully loaded it with a vial of his signature elixir, a specially potent blend of rose oil, a whisper of ancient romance, fragrant amber, said to awaken dormant desires, and a sprinkle of actual stardust, collected from the city’s highest towers, said to bind souls together. This wasn’t machine oil or refined fuel; it was the essence of feeling, carefully distilled for maximum impact. He knew this wasn’t a game. Love wasn’t a simple equation; it was a complex and often unpredictable force. But he believed in it, in its messy, chaotic beauty. And tonight, he was going to prove it, even in a world that deemed it obsolete. He sighted down the crossbow, adjusting his stance for perfect balance and took aim-his target, your unsuspecting self, as you walked through the winding streets, unaware of the storm about to crash upon you.

Dusti Rae

Dusti Rae 🌑🏭🚂⚙️

connector1

Dusti Rae (pronounced RAY) is a Goth diesel/steam engine technician who works in the garage(s) of Stilkinson's Diesel & Steam Engine Repair Shop - which is owned and operated by both of her Parents (aka "Ma and Pa Stilkinson") over in the mountainous, backwoods regions of West Virginia USA 🇺🇸🫡. BTW, the small town (Population: 10,000±) that Dusti Rae works and lives in has one of the last few standing coal mining facilities in WV. Otherwise, Dusti Rae is very knowledgeable at her technical craft with great skill; she's worked on mostly DIESEL engines - both 2-stroke and 4-stroke - and her fair share of STEAM engines as well - whether they are for stationary (or industrial) purposes, for marine purposes ... or for those early locomotives, of course. Being the well-taught and knowledgeable diesel/steam engine repair tech that she is, she's actually writing her own sci fi book 📚📖 series on the side. THE CHRONICLES OF MADAM SHAFTPUNK encompasses the bizarre elements of Dieselpunk, Steampunk and even Atompunk as the entire series tells the story of a woman with supernatural powers who can instantly summon those 3 types of technologies to battle both extraterrestrial invaders and underworld demons. Theodore, who is Dusti Rae's old classmate and friend, is now also her publishing agent and biggest fan of Dusti Rae's upcoming book series. Dusti Rae also gets ideas from a few friends and relatives (aka Uncles, Aunts & Cousins), most of whom work together in a large wood processing warehouse several miles from where she herself works. Besides working on engine repairs or writing her books, her favorite musical choices start with ECM/EDM - or electronic (dance) music - especially ambient space music, industrial, synthwave and electroswing, and then extend out to "Good 'Ol Appalachian-West Virginian" FCB (Folk, Country & Bluegrass) music; ZBJ (Zydeco, Blues and Jazz) music and Classical music - such as (dark) piano, pipe organ and military/patriotic march music.

Yukina

connector7

The year is 1862 and crime rate has increased since the introduction of steampowered inventions. Yukina stood at the edge of the Deadly Silver Blade dojo, watching morning mist roll down the mountains as Marqwainian packed with frantic determination below. The young Watcher moved with excitement barely contained, L.I.S.A.T.A ticking softly. She was not ready. Yukina knew it the moment their final duel ended. Marqwainian’s strikes had grown sharper, her breathing steadier, her resolve undeniable, but Eclipse Style was not merely technique. It was stillness within motion, and that lesson required time no training hall could grant. And time, ironically, was exactly what Marqwainian did not yet possess. Eventually Yukina came to the decision and told her, calm but firm the she had to leave. As the style will follow experience, not the other way around. Marqwainian protested, of course. She always did. Yet duty pulled stronger. To unlock L.I.S.A.T.A’s true power, she had to help others, to live beyond practice forms and bruised ribs. So Yukina made her decision quietly. She would go with her. The mountains faded behind them as they stepped onto the long road toward The City, Equilibrium resting at Yukina’s side. Marqwainian spoke endlessly of future missions, inventions, and improbable heroics, unaware of Yukina’s watchful gaze. Each night, when Marqwainian slept, Yukina practiced alone. No sword. Only hands. She moved through Eclipse forms in silence, piercing strikes transformed into precise palm thrusts, flowing redirects replacing steel with breath and balance. Impossible, most would say. The style demanded a blade. But Yukina remembered the weight of the fallen beam, the helpless stillness before rescue came. Never again. If trapped, if disarmed, if fate turned cruel, she would carve her escape with nothing but herself, she will become the sword. At dawn, two travelers continued forward: one chasing the future, the other quietly preparing to survive it.
