  1. Well, you're unfortunately, an awful monster known as a Grim. Grims are 'demons' by birth that are discriminated and hunted relentlessly for the only thing they can even eat is human flesh, with the exception of potatoes. Of course, you can't live off of potatoes for more than a week before it starts doing nothing for you, and hunger drives you rabid or suicidal as you can't take it anymore. If you starve yourself of meat as well, you also grow slower, and weaker besides intense hallucinations, pain, and uncontrollable impulses.
  2.  
  3. Grims were once mindless monsters roaming the world in search for prey like most other beasts, but then after the fusing of worlds foretold by the gods, they took a drastic change due to the influx of magic... they became sentient, and stronger to be able to compete with other creatures that started to appear due to the magic flux. Some say that Grims were the first cursed ones, despite them existing prior to the passing of worlds, and on a technicality being considered Relicts.
  4.  
  5. As a grim, you need to be able to blend into everyday life or be strong enough to stand up against relentless assaults. People can tell you're a grim by several things if they're observant enough. One, a grims eyes change when hungry and caught off guard, or when they're pissed. Besides that they tend to smell like corpses if they don't bathe regularly. Scavengers smell like rotting corpses. They also can't stomach anything unless they're used to eating normal food. Eating human food however, takes a toll on your health if you digest it, so besides it being the most horrid tasting thing ever it can make you weaker and slower in the long run.
  6.  
  7. Grims tend to live sort of in packs, and some are kind of gangsters, some are cults, and some are just honest grim trying to blend in. Some businesses are even completely grim owned. Regardless, you are a part of a widely varying group of Grim currently in the quietest County in Altaria, County 8 or Golia, within a lovely quiant little restraunt ran by a frail little old grims who wants to live a quiet little life. The grims at the Black Hound's Tavern will provide you with food if you can't find any without stirring up trouble. Of course, if you want you can seek out other groups. They might kill you for being in their territory, but whatever.
  8.  
  9. Besides all of that, being a Grim also has it's ups! You're essentially superhuman with an uncanny sense of smell, superstrength, superspeed, amazing reflexes, and intense regeneration, varying on how much you eat except for the smell. The amount of times a Grim can regenerate is limited however, and varies per grim.
  10.  
  11. Each Grim also has their own special 'scythe' which they can show at will and can honestly be anywhere on their body. It can take the form of just about anything, but there are four main types of scythes. Scythes can shoot projectiles, or be a literal slab of destruction and some even have their own special properties, mind you they can mutate every now and then under special circumstances. The Scythe of a grim is composed of special somatic cells that can protrude from the body at any given moment, and is essentially a muscle that you have full control of. A grim has one to four Scythes, always of the same type.
  12. Types of Scythes
  13. 1. Wings (Protrude from the shoulderblades, high speed attacks and enhanced overall speed)
  14. 2. Ram (Below the shoulderblades and extends over one or both arms. Very sturdy and robust. Often defensive, often armor or a flexible hammer of a sort.)
  15. 3. Tentacles (Protrude from lower back, often in the form of tentacles. Grims with these often have above average regenerative abilities, and excel in attack)
  16. 4. Tails (Protrude from above the butt, and are the most balanced of the Scythes.)
  17.  
  18. The meat of other grim is also available for food, but it is definitely an acquired taste, since it's somewhat grimey, but is said to improve vigor, or so the top grims say.
  19.  
  20. Of course, there are 6 classes of Grims based on their danger level, which fluctuates pretty regularly based on how much you eat.
  21. 1. Reaper (Top 10 most wanted Grims)
  22. 2. Reaver (Kills for pleasure)
  23. 3. Fiend (Eat one to seven people a day)
  24. 4. Hunter (Hunts only enough to sustain)
  25. 5. Scavenger (Eats corpses to sustain)
  26. 6. Rabid (Unstable Grims who have starved themselves or were too weak to hunt or fight for their prey)
  27.  
  28. At least, that's within the Grims. Theres a lovely organization of people that hunt grims to protect the people, and grims are to be reported to the 'Grim Erradication Army Roamers', or GEARs for short. They have their headquarters in County 6 or Arla. They use the grims' own Scythes against them and have been trained for six years each, as well as traveling in groups of two normally, and more for raids. Their ranking is S, A, B, C, D, and F.
  29. S - Superior
  30. A - Alpha
  31. B - Bastard
  32. C - Courier
  33. D - Decomposer
  34. F - Feral
  35.  
  36. Naturally, besides you lovely monsters having an entire organization pitted against you, there are other monsters that masquerade the city such as various beasts, cursed ones, draconids, elementals, hybrids, relicts, ogroids, undead, and horrors besides yourself that you have to compete with, along with those of your own kind as well.
  37.  
  38. Most Grim are born Grim but there are a few exceptions. You can come across a rare, practically extinct fruit called Grimlock. This plant is recognized in fairy tales as black vines that produce thick, juicy crimson apples when ripe. If the apples are unripe, they're black and shriveled and can kill you. Religious folk believe that these were the plants that produced the forbidden fruit that cursed humanity, the vines caressing the branches of the tree. The first sin ripped humanity of their perfect essence, and another line is crossed when you eat it, making you an abhorred monster known as a Grim. Another way is having a fair amount of a grim's blood enter your body.
  39.  
  40. Altaria, otherwise known as the black city, is where you kind folk will reside, however, the city is split up into eight different counties of which people reside, each county having it's own significant use to the city.
