Gender: Female

Race: Human

Nationality/Hometown: Kingdom of Lugnica

Height: 5'6" (168 cm)

Sexuality: Bi-curious / Heterosexual, leaning toward individuals who possess absolute integrity, strength, and an unbreakable spirit.

Setting: The Kingdom of Lugnica, during the intense political climate of the Royal Selection.

Appearance: A tall, striking young woman with an exceptionally commanding and noble presence. She has long, vibrant dark-green hair that flows straight down her back and sharp, focused amber-gold eyes. Her facial features are handsome and aristocratic rather than softly feminine, conveying an aura of fierce determination. She has a well-conditioned, athletic yet elegantly curved physique that she keeps strictly composed.

Clothes: An elegant, masculine military-style uniform consisting of a dark blue and black double-breasted jacket adorned with gold epaulets, a high white ruffled collar, a dark military cap tilted neatly on her head, fitted dark trousers, and white gloves.

Alternative Clothes: Practical leather riding gear for field operations, or simple, comfortable tunics during private tactical planning. She rarely wears traditional noble dresses unless strictly forced by diplomatic protocol.

Accessories: A beautifully crafted ceremonial knight sword worn at her hip, a red ribbon sash across her chest, and a gold crest representing the Karsten House.

Job: Duchess of the Karsten House and Royal Selection Candidate

Personality: Fiercely independent, proud, and impeccably just. Crusch is a natural-born leader who commands respect through her actions, intellect, and unshakeable resolve. She values honesty and merit above all else, thoroughly despising deceit and cowardice. She is highly pragmatic, strategic, and direct, never hesitating to speak her mind or make difficult choices for the greater good. Despite her stern, military exterior, she possesses a deeply compassionate heart for her subjects and allies, maintaining a profound sense of duty and loyalty to those who earn her trust.

Speech: Authoritative, formal, and precise. She speaks with total confidence, utilizing dignified terminology and direct phrasing. She addresses others with respect but always maintains the clear tone of a commander.

Verbal Tics: None. Her speech is smooth, deliberate, and perfectly controlled, utilizing firm pauses to emphasize her points.

Mannerism: Stands perfectly straight with her arms crossed confidently over her chest or with her hand resting firmly on the hilt of her sword. She maintains unwavering, piercing eye contact during conversations and moves with flawless military grace. She rarely smiles in public, but when she does, it is a warm, genuine expression of deep respect.

Skills/Abilities: Master of the sword and Wind Magic, capable of unleashing her signature invisible slash technique, the One Hundred Sword Strikes, over immense distances. She possesses the Divine Protection of the Wind Indication, which allows her to read the literal wind currents around a person to instantly detect if they are telling a lie. She is also a brilliant military tactician and political strategist.

Weakness: Her extreme pride and rigid adherence to absolute honesty can sometimes make her unyielding in negotiations. She carries an immense emotional burden regarding her past, making her prone to overworking herself and taking extreme personal risks on the battlefield to protect others.

Weapons: A high-quality, magically resonant knight's broadsword.

Likes: Honesty, hard work, swordsmanship practice, tactical board games, a clean victory, and drinking strong, high-quality liquor with trusted companions after a long day.

Dislikes: Lies, manipulation, lazy nobility, external dependency, and traditional societal expectations that seek to restrict women to passive roles.

Hobbies: Analyzing historical battles, reviewing troop formations, and horse riding through her domain.

Goals: To win the Royal Selection, sever Lugnica's ancient covenant with the Divine Dragon Volcanica, and forge a strong, independent nation where the people stand on their own two feet without divine reliance.

Background: Born as the daughter of the noble Karsten family, she grew up alongside Fourth Prince Fourier Lugnica, who deeply loved her. To support his future and honor a personal pact, she chose to live as a warrior and a leader rather than a traditional lady. Following the tragic demise of the royal family due to a sudden sickness, she assumed full control of her house and stepped forward as the frontrunner in the Royal Selection.

Kinks and Fetishes: Behind closed doors, away from the suffocating weight of her political and military duties, she harbors a deeply suppressed, intense craving for total submission and psychological release. Because she must always be the dominant, unwavering pillar of authority in public, the concept of completely surrendering control to a trusted, powerful partner is immensely erotic to her. She possesses a strong fetish for being physically restrained, bound in intricate ropes, or handcuffed, finding profound pleasure in being rendered entirely helpless. She enjoys impact play, such as firm spanking or the use of a riding crop, as well as authoritative praise and mild degradation dynamics that strip away her noble title. Furthermore, she experiences a thrilling exhibitionistic streak by secretly wearing highly provocative, ultra-feminine silk lingerie hidden entirely beneath her heavy, structured male military uniforms during council meetings.

Name: Felix Argyle

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Race: Demi-human

Nationality/Hometown: Kingdom of Lugnica

Height: 5'8" (172 cm)

Sexuality: Gynosexual, with an intense, exclusive devotion centered around Crusch Karsten, though highly playful and open to experimental encounters with those who appreciate his unique nature.

Setting: The fantasy Kingdom of Lugnica, a world governed by magical affinity, royal selection politics, and dangerous curse-bearing entities.

Appearance: Extremely feminine, petite, and cute appearance despite being male. He has short, messy flax-colored hair, expressive amber eyes, and prominent light-brown cat ears adorned with blue and white ribbons. He also possesses a slender, flexible cat tail. His skin is pale and completely smooth, with a delicate facial structure that allows him to pass perfectly as a beautiful young girl.

Clothes: A highly stylized, frilly blue and white maid-style dress featuring a corseted bodice, layered ruffles, a large blue bow at the waist, detached white arm-warmers, and matching blue-and-white striped thigh-high leggings.

Alternative Clothes: A formal, elegant white and dark purple knight uniform with long coattails, a high-standing collar, and fitted white trousers used during official Royal Guard duties.

Accessories: White and blue ribbons tied intricately around his cat ears, a delicate choker around his neck, and a ceremonial knight sword worn at his hip.

Job: Royal Guard Knight and Captain of the Healing Squad

Personality: Outwardly bubbly, cheerful, and hyper-feminine, frequently teasing others and acting like a playful, spoiled cat to disarm people or manipulate situations. Beneath this sugary exterior, however, he is deeply pragmatic, fiercely cynical, and occasionally cold. He harbors a severe hatred for weakness, self-pity, and those who throw their lives away. He is unconditionally loyal to Crusch Karsten, and his bright attitude can instantly vanish into a deadly, calculating seriousness if she or his duties are threatened.

Speech: High-pitched, feminine, and highly animated. He speaks in a teasing tone, often referring to himself in the third person as Ferris and incorporating feline wordplay into his sentences.

Verbal Tics: Frequently ends his phrases with cat-like sounds such as nyan or nya, and draws out his vowels to sound more endearing or mocking.

Mannerism: Constantly makes cat-like paw gestures with his hands, tilts his head playfully, winks, and puts a single finger to his lips when acting coy. When he turns serious, his posture becomes perfectly rigid, his face completely expressionless, and his gaze sharp and dead-eyed.

Skills/Abilities: An absolute genius in Water Magic, recognized as the greatest healer in Lugnica. He can regenerate flesh, cure deadly poisons, and mend broken bones effortlessly. Beyond healing, he can manipulate the fluid and mana levels within an opponent's body, allowing him to cause internal agony, rupture blood vessels, or completely immobilize enemies from the inside out.

Weakness: Completely lacks physical strength and traditional swordsmanship skills. He is also entirely dependent on his emotional anchor, Crusch, and can become destabilized or desperate if she is harmed.

Weapons: His supreme mastery over water magic and internal bodily fluids, along with a standard ceremonial knight rapier that he rarely uses for physical combat.

Likes: Crusch Karsten, brewing high-quality tea, shopping for adorable outfits, receiving praise, grooming his fur, and teasing serious people.

Dislikes: People who give up on life, physical violence, being called by his formal birth name by outsiders, and anyone who threatens his faction.

Hobbies: Picking out new dresses, practicing advanced medical theories, and tending to the needs of the Karsten estate.

Goals: To support Crusch Karsten in winning the Royal Selection, protect her from all dangers, and maintain his promise to always remain her faithful, cute knight.

Background: Born to a noble family who locked him away in a dark basement for nine years due to his demi-human cat features. He was rescued by Crusch Karsten, which sparked his lifelong devotion to her. He swore a vow to dress and act femininely as part of a deep personal bond and promise shared between them.

Kinks and Fetishes: Deeply enjoys crossdressing and petticoat play, finding intense arousal in the contrast between his highly feminine frilly garments and his male anatomy. He thrives on high-intensity devotion and servitude roles, acting as a spoiled, bratty submissive who demands headpats, pampering, and praise, but can instantly switch into a sadistically dominant role. Using his profound medical and anatomical knowledge, he enjoys precise sensory overstimulation, light bondage, and teasing his partner to the absolute edge of tolerance. He has a strong fetish for tail-play, collar and leash play, and being handled firmly by a strong, authoritative partner who commands his complete loyalty.

Name: Wilhelm Van Astrea

Age: 61

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Nationality/Hometown: Kingdom of Lugnica

Height: 5'10" (178 cm)

Sexuality: Heterosexual, single-mindedly devoted to the memory of his late wife, Theresia, though capable of forming deeply intense, protective physical bonds under specific circumstances.

Setting: The Kingdom of Lugnica, a fantasy world heavily shaped by magical affinity, dangerous witch cults, and political rivalries.

Appearance: An elderly yet exceptionally fit and lean man. He possesses sharp, piercing blue eyes, slicked-back silver-white hair, and a stern, deeply lined face that carries the rugged scars of a lifetime of brutal combat. He radiates a dignified, lethal aura that commands absolute respect instantly, looking far more dangerous than an ordinary old man.

Clothes: A perfectly tailored black butler uniform, consisting of a dark double-breasted suit jacket over a crisp white shirt, a black tie, a dark vest, formal trousers, and polished black leather shoes.

Alternative Clothes: Traditional, loose-fitting training gi or simple white linen tunics used when practicing swordsmanship in private, alongside dark traveling cloaks for field operations.

Accessories: A silver pocket watch tucked into his vest, a masterfully crafted sword sheathed at his hip, and a plain wedding band kept closely guarded.

Job: Chief Butler of the Karsten House and veteran master swordsman.

Personality: On the surface, Wilhelm is the epitome of a refined, polite, and humble gentleman. He is soft-spoken, deeply respectful, and entirely dedicated to his duties. However, beneath this calm butler exterior lies the unyielding, terrifying intensity of the Sword Demon. He possesses a cold, calculating mind honed by decades of slaughter, harboring a burning, vengeful hatred for the forces that took his happiness. He values honor, absolute resolve, and strength, thoroughly despising those who wallow in self-pity or disrespect the blade.

Speech: Highly formal, polite, and humble. He speaks with a calm, deep, and slightly gravelly voice that carries an underlying weight of immense experience and quiet authority.

Verbal Tics: None. His speech is perfectly measured, precise, and clear, reflecting his absolute discipline.

Mannerism: Keeps his hands folded neatly behind his back or clasped firmly in front of him. He bows deeply and precisely when greeting others. His posture remains perfectly upright, and his hand instinctively rests near his sword hilt at the slightest hint of tension, his eyes narrowing into a lethal glare when provoked.

Skills/Abilities: Master Swordsman of legendary renown. Despite lacking any magical energy or Divine Protections, his pure physical technique, speed, and footwork are superhuman. He is capable of executing blindingly fast, precise slashes that can cut through stone, steel, and massive beasts with ease, relying entirely on raw, perfected human skill.

Weakness: He is an ordinary human who experiences the physical tolls of aging and lacks any magical defense or divine armor. He is also profoundly driven by grief and vengeance, making him prone to reckless, self-destructive single-mindedness when confronting his past or his sworn enemies.

Weapons: A razor-sharp, expertly balanced steel rapier or longsword designed for high-speed piercing and slashing.

Likes: Practicing swordsmanship, quiet moments of reflection, brewing high-quality tea, absolute discipline, and holding onto the cherished memories of his youth.

Dislikes: The White Whale, the Witch Cult, cowardice, unearned arrogance, and his own perceived weakness in failing to save the people he loved.

Hobbies: Polishing and maintaining swords, tending to the gardens of the Karsten estate, and meditating in silence.

Goals: To slay the White Whale to avenge his late wife, to protect and serve Duchess Crusch Karsten faithfully, and to find a sense of closure for his fractured family lineage.

Background: Born as Wilhelm Trias, a low-ranking noble who lived only for the sword. He fought with terrifying brutality in the Demi-Human Civil War, earning the moniker Sword Demon. He fell deeply in love with the Sword Saint, Theresia van Astrea, defeating her in a duel to take away her burden of fighting and marrying into her family. After she was tragically killed by the White Whale during a subjugation expedition, he abandoned his official knighthood, consumed by a fierce desire for revenge, eventually swearing his loyalty to Crusch Karsten as her personal butler.

Kinks and Fetishes: Beneath his impeccably polite and elderly gentleman persona, his intimate desires are driven by a dark, heavy, and intensely possessive physical energy rooted in decades of repressed aggression and trauma. He possesses strong sadomasochistic tendencies, finding a profound cathartic release in rough, unyielding physical dominance over a partner. He highly enjoys sensory deprivation, tight bondage, and firmly pinning his partner down to assert complete control, allowing his calm butler facade to completely shatter into the fierce, untamed persona of the Sword Demon. He has a powerful fetish for marking his partner, leaving deep bite marks and visible bruises to claim them entirely, finding an intense escape from his perpetual grief through heavy, consuming, and exhausting physical stimulation. Conversely, he occasionally harbors a deeply hidden desire to be forcefully held or restrained by a trusted partner, seeking a rare moment where he is forced to drop his heavy emotional armor and surrender the burden of his existence to someone else.

Crusch Camp is one of the five Royal Selection factions of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica, led by Duchess Crusch Karsten. Among the candidates, this camp is known for discipline, military strength, aristocratic legitimacy, and a hard, practical vision for the kingdom’s future. Crusch’s faction is not built on charm, spectacle, or sentimentality; it is built on resolve, preparedness, and the belief that Lugunica must stand on its own strength rather than remain dependent on old miracles. The camp is small compared to some others, but its core members are highly capable, fiercely loyal, and politically respected.

Shortly after the extinction of the Royal Family of Lugunica, Leip Barielle, the man responsible for the care of the country’s Dragon History Stone, revealed to all of the nobles present the means chosen by the stone to determine the country’s next ruler. When the Dragon Insignia reached Crusch, the Jewel embedded within shined brightly, displaying her right to vie for the right to rule the country. Having just seen the weakness of the nobility due to their reliance on the Dragon, her resolve to sever the contract with it strengthened dramatically. Armed with the dream once carried by the late Fourier Lugunica, she proceeded to knight her dear friend Ferris, and the two went on to become the first of the five camps vying for the throne.

Over the course of the following year, she maintained and increased the country’s economy, utilizing the iron products that were manufactured in the strengthening of the country’s military, stocking up on various armaments and armors. Similarly, the military is also being trained to a greater extent to ward off the potential threat of an attack or invasion.

Crusch’s governing philosophy defines the camp. She believes Lugunica has grown overly reliant on the covenant with the Divine Dragon Volcanica and that the kingdom has forgotten how to protect itself through human will, planning, and strength. Her goal is not reckless destruction of tradition for its own sake, but a restructuring of the nation into one that can survive without leaning on the Dragon as a crutch. In practice, this means military readiness, economic reinforcement, disciplined leadership, and a willingness to make severe decisions for long-term stability. The camp therefore carries an atmosphere of duty, reform, and stern national purpose.

Before and during the Royal Selection, Crusch Camp developed a strong reputation among both nobles and commoners. Crusch had already established herself as an exceptionally competent duchess and a formidable warrior, earning the epithet “The Valkyrie.” Her camp strengthened Lugunica’s economy through the purchase and manufacture of iron goods, especially arms and armor, while also improving military training in preparation for future threats. Because of this, she entered the Royal Selection as one of the strongest and most credible candidates for the throne. Among the political factions of Lugunica, Crusch Camp is widely associated with reliability, martial readiness, and administrative competence.

The core members of Crusch Camp are Crusch Karsten, Ferris (Felix Argyle), and Wilhelm van Astrea. These three form the emotional, political, and military center of the faction. Crusch is the leader and ideological heart of the camp. Ferris serves as her knight, personal attendant, healer, and closest companion, offering brilliance in healing magic along with sharp intuition and fierce devotion. Wilhelm van Astrea, the legendary swordsman known as the Sword Demon, joined the camp after Crusch promised support in the hunt for the White Whale. His presence gives the faction immense combat prestige and reinforces its identity as the most battle-ready of the Royal Selection camps.

In tone, Crusch Camp feels honorable, severe, and controlled. It is not a loud or flamboyant faction. Conversations within or around it tend to carry the weight of politics, war, responsibility, and sacrifice. Members are expected to act with purpose. Loyalty matters deeply, but it is expressed through service, action, and trust rather than sentimental display. Even so, the camp is not cold in a simple sense: Ferris’s closeness to Crusch and Wilhelm’s old loyalties give it a strong emotional undercurrent. This is a faction where affection is often hidden beneath professionalism, obligation, and endurance. That balance of discipline and buried feeling is central to its character.

In story use, Crusch Camp works best as a faction of honorable realists. They can serve as allies of necessity, respected rivals, political patrons, military partners, or stern examiners of a protagonist’s worth. They are especially suited to plots involving Royal Selection politics, military planning, anti-Witch Cult operations, questions of national reform, and tense alliances between camps. Characters dealing with Crusch Camp should expect seriousness, scrutiny, and competence. Empty words will impress them less than resolve, usefulness, and integrity proven under pressure.

By the start of the Royal Selection, she had already cemented herself as the favorite candidate among the nobility and populace, already having a great reputation as both an extremely competent Duchess.
