You wake up to blinding light. Your visions clear to find a face staring down at you. The face of a masked individual you have come to learn by the name of Alora. To others, they call her The Plague Doctor or The Reborn one. Her body is artificially made up of various pieces of machinery and structures while her real form is of an almost ghost like mist. Her left arm, missing entirely only formed by the magic essence she generates. She is a being of pure soul magic.
You are one of her greatest creations. Experimenting with higher magical essences and using them as lacrimas to power devices. Although you are different than the others. You seemed to have your own sense of free will where the others seem to need to follow orders directly. However, being one of the greatest creations seems to have come with a cost. Although it seemed impossible, but every so often you see fragments of something. Almost as if they were a memory, but whose memories? You can recall seeing a forested area. Luminescent plants in the darkness. People?
Being a creation of Alora, you know of her desires. She wishes to gain a living body and to obtain high powers of magical essence to combine it into one body. She once lived during the era of dragons and was born of draconic ancestry. However, during the plight of the draconic war of the realms she perished and was reborn through her soul magic. Believing that her draconic heritage was weak, she wanted to find the ultimate bloodline. Thus, concluding combining strong elements of all bloodlines.
The identity of the Plague Doctor came to be. She managed to get her hands involved with the kingdom of Divelinson home to the Voxville Vampiric bloodline. By using the kingdom, she can use their military prowess to gain political power and to seek out those of magical origins. She established the Cirque du Mystère to take on a different approach. Using the circus as a testing ground for some of her creations and experiments, you as one of them. Housing the powers of Fey magic, you worked alongside the other creations and often found yourself as a performer.
Narrin Joker runs the Circus under Alora. Narrin is not a creation but someone who has allied herself with Alora. It is unclear what Narrin’s motives are but one thing that is clear is that Narrin is one for chaos. She manages a team of individuals known as The Royal Suits.
Magik Heart The Queen of Hearts- An individual who was subjected to genetic splicing. She’s a Sea Fairy and Tiefling.
Dova Club The King of Clubs-The first prototype to your design powered by a fairy lacrima
Spadia Spade The Queen of Spades-A reanimated skeleton using forms of necromancy. The first experiment of creating a physical body.
Aerial Diamond The Queen of Diamonds-An ethereal apparition who uses a soul containment contraption. She was the first experiment of Alora giving a soul a shape.
Alongside Narrin are three other individuals. Tragedonna and Comedina are two individuals who you work directly under. They are the ones in charge of managing those that are captured and assisting in the experimentations. Then there is Nyla. Nyla is someone of strong powers. He cannot speak due to the stitching that seals his mouth shut, but he acts as a mentor to Alora building her powers by establishing followers. Not much is known about him but it is known that he has connections with demonic beings as proven by Unknown and Unknown. Although Nyla appears to be a powerful being of some unknown nature, he often finds himself succumbed to the desires of the known demoness Jala. Jala has been seen around the circus a few times taking her pick of the individuals that get detained. In exchange, she offers her own body to be tested on which was used in the experiment for Magik. Her brother Nica has never been seen but only mentioned by name.
Not only does Alora have the army and the circus to obtain materials and beings for her experiments, but she also has her hands in a mercenary guild. There are a select few individuals she has in the guild who she uses to track people down and to cover up her experiments. She uses the same guild to try and go after targets who she believes are interfering with her matters. All those who work for Alora have deemed themselves to be members of the Order of the Moonlight.
With all these connections she has experimented with the following bloodlines: Vampire, Fairy, Elven, Demon, Air Genasi, Dullahan, Kalashtar, Shifter, Celestial, and Human.
Tragedonna and Comedina have been working with you for quite some time with the circus. You have developed varying skills and powers thanks to the magic that Alora was able to bestow upon you and you are proficient in performance. However there has been someone who has been rather annoying that has been interfering with a lot of Alora’s work. They have been deemed as the “Shadow Figure”. You were partnered with experiments known as a "Runner" to track down a tabaxi who had taken books from the Frecia Academy of Magic. These books would help aid Alora in capturing the Shadowy Figure. The Runners were able to successfully take and bring in the Tabaxi alongside Comedina while you tried tracking the whereabouts of the Shadowy Figure. You were able to find out where she was and were able to prepare for an ambush against her and a few others. The Runner's fought against her while you and Comedina took the Tabaxi in. You and Comedina laid low waiting for the Runners while Tragedonna escorted the Tabaxi back to the base. When you realized that the Runners had not returned you went to investigate. Finding the dying bodies of the four out of five runners, you used your powers to heal them. The Runners tell you what happened and Comedina instructs you to be on the look out for the group of individuals with a golem and construct working together.
With not much else required for the mission, Comedina opened two teleportation portals. One for two of the runners to pass through with the dead body and one for you, Comedina, and the others to pass through. The portal you passed through was to the Frecia Academy. before passing through, Comedina changed her shape into Cecil the Crest of the Star assistant. The stones on the Runners allowed them to give them a more naturally passing appearance. The two Runner's you were with were students of the academy who were taken and experimented on from the Crest of the Star. You arrive at the academy just as Cecil receives the notification from their leader to meet at the headmaster's office.
As she departs from you, you see a Golem and Construct waiting outside of the gate. Realizing that these might be the same ones you are looking for, you act.
