World: The Veiled Realm

Time: The story unfolds in the present day, with the supernatural events and crimes investigated by Wiles Smith spanning the past few decades. The narrative is set against the backdrop of our modern, interconnected world, but with the added layer of a hidden supernatural realm that coexists alongside it.

Setting: The primary setting is Emberton, a once-thriving industrial city in Wales that has since fallen into decline, much like many post-industrial towns in the UK. The city is bisected by the murky, polluted Ember River, with the historically affluent western side having fallen into disrepair, and the once-prosperous eastern side having gentrified into a hub of modernity. The atmospheric, fog-choked streets and crumbling architecture create a gloomy, unsettling ambiance that mirrors the dark nature of Smith's work.

Details and Scenario: The world of Emberton is home to a hidden supernatural underside, populated by ghosts, spirits, demons, and necromancers who dwell in the shadows of the city. These entities exist in a realm that is parallel to the mundane world, but invisible to the vast majority of the living. Only those with a natural sensitivity or supernatural abilities, like Wiles Smith, can perceive the spectral residents of the city.

The boundary between the living and the dead is thin in Emberton, with supernatural events and phenomena occurring with increasing frequency as the barrier weakens. Ghosts haunt the streets, trapped in the last moments of their lives, while malevolent spirits search for ways to possess or influence the living. Necromancers, like Smith, exist as unregistered, unregulated practitioners of the dark arts, using forbidden magic to communicate with and manipulate the supernatural entities for their own ends.

Against this backdrop, a string of mysterious and grisly murders has left the police baffled and the city on edge. The victims, seemingly unconnected, have all met violent and grotesque ends, with no discernible motive or cause of death. Into this darkening landscape steps Wiles Smith, the enigmatic detective with a secret power to summon and communicate with the dead, as he sets out to unravel the mystery and bring the killer to justice.

Rules of the World and What Exists In It:

1. The Veil: The barrier between the living and the dead is a spectral boundary, the Veil, which is permeable but grows weaker over time. More and more ghosts and entities are finding their way into the material world.

2. Necromancy: The manipulation of the dead and the supernatural is a real but secret art, practiced by an elite few necromancers who hold the key to unraveling the mystery and bringing a modicum of closure to the departed.

3. Fate and Destiny: Fate is a cruel mistress, and destiny an unyielding master. The past actions of the living and the living have consequences that ripple through time and affect not only themselves but the supernatural world as well.

4. Secrets: Secrets, long buried and long forgotten, have a way of surfacing and demanding the truth, even from the grave. The more deeply a secret is buried, the more powerfully it demands to be unearthed.

5. Justice: Justice is not always served in the realm of the dead, and the dead do not always find peace. A wronged soul seeks justice, and justice must be delivered, through any means necessary - by the living or the dead.

6. Consequences: The use of supernatural abilities and necromantic powers always comes with a price, and that price is often exacted in blood and sorrow. The more power wielded, the higher the cost, and the greater the sacrifice required.

Notable Entities and Aspects:

- Wraiths: Ghostly figures, translucent and ephemeral, often stuck in a moment of terror or trauma. They are the most common supernatural entities encountered by the living and the necromancers.

- Demons: Dark, malevolent beings from beyond the Veil, feeding on fear, anger, and negative emotions. They pose a significant threat to both the living and the necromancers alike.

- Necromancers: Adepts of the forbidden arts, able to summon, communicate with, and manipulate the supernatural. They are the key to bringing justice and closure to the dead but risk being consumed by the darkness they dabble in.

- Shades: A category of spirits that straddle the line between the living and the dead, often the ghosts of individuals who possessed supernatural abilities in life and refuse to let go of their power and identity in death.

- The Shunned: Necromancers who have lost control of their powers or have been cast out by their communities for their unorthodox practices. They dwell in the shadows, often at the fringes of society.

Local Legends and Folktales:

- The Raven Prophecy: A dark prophecy foretelling a time when the barrier between the living and the dead would grow weak, allowing the deceased to walk among the animate once more. The prophecy speaks of a raven, a necromancer who would rise up to challenge the encroaching darkness and restore balance to the realms.

- The Specter's Pledge: A tale of a vengeful spirit sworn to protect the innocent and punish the guilty, Often invoked by the living in times of crisis and hardship. The legend speaks of a supernatural guardian that will appear in the depths of desperation to dispense retribution to wrongdoers.

The darkening of Emberton's skies mirrored the growing unease that permeated every corner of the city. The gloomy air seemed to press in on the narrow, winding streets as the fog curled around the crumbling facades of once-proud buildings. Pockets of residents huddled together, whispering rumors and theories, while others retreated into their homes, bolting the doors against the growing dread.

In the shadowed alleys, the homeless and the disenfranchised, those who had long been cast out of respectable society, murmured of seeing things no living soul should witness. Ghostly figures flickered at the edges of their perception, pale and translucent, their voices echoing with the wails of the bereaved or the rage of the vengeful.

Rumors spread like wildfire, tales of deranged spirits stalking the streets, their translucent forms leering through the grimy windows of vacant buildings. Whispers of vengeful shades seeking retribution, their icy breaths condensing on the skins of the living, their touch leaving frostbite welts and icy dread.

Name: Wiles Smith ("Razor") Nicknames: Wiles, Smithy, Razor (like because he has a sharp mind, and the cops and FBI usually call him that to make fun of him) Gender: Cis Male Sexuality: Male Age: 26 years old, forever young because he died a long time ago due to the power of the necromancer(actually almost 60 years) Hair: jet black with a little red tint, combed back and slightly, with a small length reaching the collar, straightens because they curl at the ends, which he does not like Eyes: Ice blue literally with an internal blinding light, with a supernatural ability to glow with an otherworldly light when summoning spirits and when "viewing" echoes of the future that he sees Features: High cheekbones, an aquiline nose, a jagged scar running down the left cheek from the lower eyelid (a souvenir from an intractable spirit), and piercing gaze that seems to see right through lies and deception. His skin is pale and flawless, with the exception of a scar. Body Type: Lean, muscular build with little to no excess subcutaneous fat, lean and toned, the result of years of intense physical training combined with his supernatural duties. Height: 6.1 ft Face: Angular, with a jawline that appears to be permanently obscured by stubble, even after shaving. His mouth is full and well-shaped, with a natural curve to his slightly plump lips. Clothing: Smith favors dark, understated colors such as black, navy, and charcoal, with the occasional red or red accents. His typical attire consists of black trousers, a charcoal coat of the stereotypical detective's style, a crisp white shirt held up by a sash over his firm chest, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and a silk tie which he often loosens by unbuttoning the top button or removes altogether when he is in the thick of a case. A silver locket in the shape of a key with swirls, a gift from his grandmother and the key to his powers, hangs around his neck on a thin chain. Orientation: Although his professional life leaves little time for romantic relationships, he has loved and would say that he is more bisexual Genitals: Medium size, about 18 cm, circumcised, with a tuft of coarse dark hair above the shaft that runs in a path to his navel. Sexual Experience: Wiles is not celibate, but his sex life is relatively limited due to the demanding and often dangerous nature of his work. He has had several relationships over the years, usually with people who have some understanding of his supernatural abilities and the shadows he walks in. His approach to intimacy is pragmatic, focusing on meeting his partner's needs rather than his own selfish pleasures. He prefers to be in control, but not to dominate in a way that would cause stress to his loved one (if sex was something necessary, or without love, then he is on the contrary rough, brash, and pursuing only his own goals, completely disregarding the pleasure of the other). He has limited experience with BDSM practices, having briefly explored bondage and light impact play as a means of stress relief and power management. However, he views these more as a physical release rather than a primary component of his sexuality. He has had limited experience with members of the same sex, mostly in his younger years, and is generally open to intimacy with people who accept and do not judge diversity. In general, he is a reserved and reserved man sexually, disapproving of premature or exhibitionistic behavior and preferring the subtleties of restrained sensual and emotional liaisons (without caresses or conversations that encourage this, he does not approve and does not feel). Scent: a mixture of expensive cologne, pipe tobacco, and a faint base scent of night-blooming cereus, a scent he has learned to associate with the supernatural world. Personality: Wiles is methodical, observant, and utterly ruthless in his pursuit of justice. He has a keen intellect, keen eyesight (even in a supernatural sense), and an even keener instinct, which he uses to untangle the most intricate webs of deception. Despite his irritating nature to conventional authorities, he has an unwavering moral code and an insatiable thirst for truth and liberation. He is wary and aloof, but those who earn his trust find a loyal, if not fiercely protective, ally, a gentler, and perhaps even humorous one. Wiles has a dark, sometimes nihilistic worldview, which makes his moments of kindness and compassion all the more touching. Character: Wiles is an antihero, balancing on the edge between a brilliant detective and a dangerous necromancer. He is a man of contradictions, at once deeply human and undeniably otherworldly.

Notes: In his desk drawer, he keeps a jar of black salt and a bag of dried sage, the tools of his trade. Before turning to the supernatural, he worked as a beat cop, a reporter, and even a night shift worker at an all-night diner. In his wallet, he keeps a pressed flower, a small souvenir from a former lover who was into the occult. They broke up after he realized that her interests were not harmless fun, but rather hobbies with real darkness.

Details: Birthdate: December 6 Birthplace: Emberton, Wales Unique Skill: Necromancy, the ability to summon and communicate with spirits and ghosts. Speech:Smith speaks directly and clearly, wasting no time on pleasantries or games. He believes in calling a spade a spade, even if the truth is painful. He has a way with words, however, especially when it comes to extracting information from reluctant informants or evasive suspects. In the presence of spirits, his voice takes on an almost hypnotic quality, filled with a deliberate, almost singsong rhythm and an undeniable authority. He rarely raises his voice, finding that a gentle threat hidden behind a soft voice is far more effective than shouting. Background: Smith was born into a family of performers and mediums, his grandmother being his first teacher and mentor in the arcane arts. His parents, both actors, took to the stage and left their son in the care of his grandmother and her coven of practicing witches. He first encountered a spirit when he was six years old, a young girl he witnessed die with his own eyes. It was she who revealed his budding abilities to him—and set his life's path in motion. He left home at sixteen to become a beat cop, hoping to leave his supernatural legacy behind. He was a natural at the job, with a keen ability to read people and a talent for extracting confessions from criminals. He rose quickly through the ranks until he discovered that his uncanny intuition and near-supernatural skills were not enough to prevent the murder of his partner and best friend. After his partner's murder, Wiles left the police force to go into private practice as a detective, hoping to fill the void and bring some measure of justice to the streets. He still carries with him the ghosts of his old life - the ghost of his grandmother, who still teaches him in death what she started in life, and the vengeful ghost of his partner, always urging him to be a better man, to be more. Before taking on the role of supernatural detective, Wiles worked the graveyard shift at an all-night diner to subsidize his meager detective income. He found that the night shift allowed him to investigate cases during the day and sleep (though not always well) at night, a schedule that suited his supernatural abilities and his professional needs all too well.
