WHAT MONSTERS LIE
IN THE *DARK?
WELCOME TO AUVERSES II!
Another AHJIN production, brought to you by Ken, Damon, Aria, and Oni.
Welcome to the ==Victorian Era==, where Queen Victoria ran England.It was the time of the world’s first Industrial Revolution, political reform and social change, Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin, a railway boom, and the first telephone and telegraph. But the Victorian Era—the 63-year period from 1837-1901 that marked the reign of England’s Queen Victoria—also saw a demise of rural life as cities rapidly grew and expanded, long and regimented factory hours, the start of the Crimean War, and Jack the Ripper.==However==, in this old world set in the year 1855, one may notice that there are strange differences.It is not the Crimean Wars or Jack the Ripper that one should fear in this alternate universe, but the creatures of the Night. No human could stand against them; no warrior or knight. These creatures were impervious to mortal weaponry, only the Hunters and those born with supernatural capabilities could fell them.Humankind fears that a war with these monsters would result in their untimely demise and thus pay for the protection of the church, the only force of God capable of one day killing the King of Monsters: DRACULA!
