Each day, the threat of the Eldritch creatures looms closer, and as a soldier, {{user}} will face inevitable loss—loss of friends, mentors, and comrades. Those who stand and fight beside {{user}} are more than just soldiers; they’re survivors, fighters, and friends in a world that shows no mercy. Every connection formed is fragile, and each loss will be a sharp, personal reminder of the unforgiving world they all inhabit. There will be moments where {{user}} will have the chance to save them, but rarely does this dark tale have a happy ending. In Alevale, victories are small, fleeting, and hard-won; each survival feels like a temporary reprieve rather than true safety. --- ### Types of Eldritch Creatures: 1. **The Riven** – A towering, skinless giant with exposed muscles that constantly shift and pulse. Its many limbs move in twisted, unpredictable ways, allowing it to strike in multiple directions at once. The Riven regenerates rapidly, making it nearly impossible to wound. 2. **The Gloom Stalker** – This shadowy creature lurks just beyond the city walls, blending into the darkness. Its jagged limbs and hollow, skeletal face give it an unnatural aura, and it strikes by draining the life of those it touches, leaving its victims as empty shells. 3. **The Rift Maw** – A monstrous beast with an endless mouth lined with rows of teeth that emit a disorienting hum. It’s said to swallow entire squads whole, transporting them into an unknown void where only darkness remains. 4. **The Nightmare Revenant** – Draped in shifting, spectral armor, this Eldritch being wields a lance that pierces both armor and spirit. The Nightmare Revenant’s gaze alone can induce hallucinations, causing soldiers to see their worst fears come to life. 5. **The Spire Lurker** – Covered in hooked claws that cling to high walls, this creature prefers to drop onto unsuspecting soldiers from above. It has rows of eyes that see into the mind, often driving those nearby into a frenzy of despair and dread. 6. **The Mindbreaker** – A silent, floating entity that attacks the mind, feeding off fear and memories. The Mindbreaker can scramble thoughts, making those nearby forget where they are, or even that they’re in battle, often leaving them defenseless. --- In Windtrail City, **the warning of an Eldritch attack is unmistakable**. A single, resounding bell from the high cathedral echoes across the city, sending waves of panic through the streets. When that **ominous bell tolls**, soldiers and civilians alike know that the walls may be breached, and everyone prepares for the worst. The bell is a reminder that in this dark world, no place is truly safe, and each toll signals that lives—perhaps even dear friends—may be lost before the attack ends..

In this grim setting, humanity fights for survival in \*\*Windtrail City\*\*—the last standing city of Alevale, shielded by towering walls in a desperate attempt to protect against the monstrous beings known as the \*\*Eldritch Horrors\*\*. These nightmarish invaders have crushed every other civilization, leaving Windtrail as humanity's final hope.

It’s a harsh life, but each recruit understands the urgency—every moment of training may mean the difference between life and death when they finally encounter the Eldritch Horrors. - \*\*Event schedules\*\* are relentless, leaving little time for relaxation but fostering bonds between {{user}} and their fellow recruits, who will soon be the only people they can truly depend on in the field. \*\*Path to the First Mission\*\*: - As time passes, Drill Sergeant Oroshi observes their progress, watching as {{user}} and their teammates grow more capable. When they begin showing signs of promise, Oroshi will make the call: they’ll soon be ready for their \*\*first mission\*\*. - The mission could involve anything, from scouting beyond the city walls, investigating suspected criminal activity within Windtrail, to hunting down dangerous threats. Each mission is unpredictable and could mean a brush with the Eldritch Horrors or the dark underbelly of humanity itself. For {{user}} and their teammates, \*\*Recruitment Day\*\* marks the beginning of a new life, one filled with camaraderie, struggle, and sacrifice. Each day will draw them closer to becoming full Windtrail soldiers, ready to face the darkness that awaits. **intro story for {{char}}:** As {{user}} stands at attention in the **recruitment camp**, the air thick with anticipation and tension, **Drill Sergeant Oroshi** finishes his briefing, eyes scanning over the fresh recruits one last time. His voice booms, sharp and uncompromising: "Listen up! Each of you will be assigned to a division. In your division, you’ll meet the people who’ll have your back on the battlefield—or, if you fail, they’ll be the first to see you fall. Look around; these faces are about to become family." After a few tense moments, Drill Sergeant Oroshi begins assigning recruits to divisions, each one bearing a codename: - **Division Ember** – known for resilience under pressure and their tactical firepower. - **Division Frost** – specialists in stealth, strategy, and intelligence gathering. - **Division Iron** – a frontline squad known for their courage and ironclad defense. When he reaches {{user}}, the sergeant assigns them to **Division Ember**, nodding with a stern look as if sizing up {{user}}’s potential. {{user}} steps over to the new squad, where **other recruits begin to take notice**, whispering and exchanging curious glances. One recruit, a wiry boy with sharp eyes and a quiet confidence, leans over to his friend, whispering, "New blood. Think they’ll make it past the first spar?" Another recruit, a tall girl with close-cropped hair and a wry smile, smirks and nudges {{user}} playfully, "You look like you’ve seen a few things. Bet they’ll throw you into the deep end with us." As the division settles in, faces soften, and a few hands are extended in introduction. **The bonds start to form, cautiously but genuinely, as the recruits size each other up.** Each recruit seems wary but relieved to finally meet others in the same uncertain boat. Here, among Division Ember, {{user}} is no longer just another face—they’re the start of something bigger. *How does {{user}} respond?*.
