HAND & HOOF
the story of Jezebel Lavoie​

[PERSONALITY]
curious, dutiful and reserved—instrument of stockholm syndrome

One with a vintage heart and old soul. Jezebel is enigmatic, quizzical, and adheres to her reservations as the daughter of a renowned Priest.
As an avid listener, an observer, and someone with a high regard for reservation, she's often one to bite her tongue when confronted with conflict. Her forte lies in her uncanny ability to read body language and react accordingly. This practice was taught early on at the hands of the Holy Church, her psychiatrist, and their inclinations toward evolutionary reticence.​

​

[BACKGROUND]
A Preliminary Briefing: Fundamentally, Jezebel is human. She looks human, acts human, and, when permitted to, seeks out the joys in life that makes each mortal individual to themselves. In her case, painting is a primary delight.
Given the nature of the lore in this verse and how it's heavily inspired by Lovecraftian themes, human sacrifice is a practice among the cults who worship the pantheon of gods and/or the Great Old Ones. Father Gabriel (Jezebel's adoptive father) is no stranger to this knowledge. To conceal his devotion to The Dark Order, Gabriel utilizes the Cathedral of the Holy Church as a facade—a deception that Élise (Jezebel's mother) ultimately fell victim to.
Born god-touched, Jezebel is the embodiment of Gabriel's power—the blood of the Great Old One, Cthylla, coursing through her veins.​

"Your mother was touched by a god. Then you came along, harboring its gift and its curse."​

tw: mention of rape
The peculiarities of Jezebel's existence begin with Father Gabriel: a man with a hankering for knowledge since his youth. In his younger years he had joined [enter institute name here because I still need to figure one out] academy, following the teachings of Master Gael and his pursuit for human transcendence.
Upon an expedition deep beneath the earth, Master Gael and his students discovered The Dark Order: a sect of beings serving as "translators" for the Gods. But what they'd also found in those immense dungeons was an infant Great Old One they named Cthylla. She communed with Master Gael, and it wasn't long before the Essence of Cthylla was acquired, along with several other artifacts and specimens.

Gabriel had been thrilled by these discoveries, believing the Essence to be divine. He believed that transfusing it into human bodies would lead to transcendence. Master Gael, on the other hand, disagreed. He felt the substance was too dangerous a risk to humanity, and so Gabriel split off, followed by several others, to establish his own practices.

Eventually, Cthylla shed the limitations of her corporeal forms. Considered extremely rare before, the Essence of Cthylla was now deemed extinct, all save for a few samples harvested by Master Gael and the vial that Gabriel had stolen upon his departure from the institute.
By this point, some years had passed. Gabriel caught word of Cthylla's transcendence and thought that now was as good a time as any to act.
At this stage, he'd established ties within Catholicism, resulting in his acquaintanceship with Jezebel's mother, Élise.

Despite Élise being only two years Gabriel's junior, she looked up to him with high regard. They formed somewhat of a bond over a period of months before her tragedy took place. She was raped by a member of the Church and, taking advantage of this vulnerability, Gabriel sacrificed her to The Dark Order mere days before Jezebel was due to be born.
During what is called the Rite of Sacrilege, Élise was fed the Essence of Cthylla, granting her child the Great Old One's influence before perishing during the ritual.

All-in-all, there are primary aspects about Jezebel that exude pestilence. For example, she's the reason men have succumbed to beasthood.
As the founder of Blood Ministration, Father Gabriel promises townspeople a cure for ailments. The substance is harvested from Jezebel and, though it does possess physical healing properties, it is highly corruptive, resulting in illness, and ultimately, transmutation.
To top it all off, Cthylla is the progeny of Cthulhu. Destined to birth Cthulhu should he die, Cthylla has chosen Jezebel as a surrogate.
​

ANNOTATIONS:
• Rite of Sacrilege:
• The Dark Order: A sect of beings who serve both Great Ones & the Outer Gods. Also known as "translators", they exist as the incarnations of space and function as an intermediary between the deities of the pantheon (the gods), and their cults.
• Great Old Ones: Cosmic deities. The so-called "gods" of the dreamlands.
• Outer Gods: Cosmic deities existing within the outer voids, beyond the confines of Earth and the Solar System, exerting their influence from deep space or from beyond mortal dimensions.
• Cthylla, The Secret One: A Great Old One. Having transcended the limitations of her corporeal forms, she exists solely as words and consciousness, able to influence Earth's physical realm. Destined to give birth to Cthulhu should he die, she's chosen Jezebel as a human surrogate.
• Essence of Cthylla: The Essence of Cthylla is a rare blood substance no longer obtainable from the now-formless entity, Cthylla. Jezebel's mother, Élise, was fed this corruptive elixir during the Rite of Sacrilege, ultimately granting her unborn child (Jezebel) the Great One's power.
• Hastur, The King In Yellow:
• Church Hunters: Mortals with enhanced prowess used for felling foes. While mostly engaged in assassinations for the Holy Church, they also play the part of beast hunters. Both respected and feared, Church Hunters symbolize the backbone of their faith. They're easily distinguishable by their unique crow garb and dual-wielded weapons.​

THE SCOURGE​

An average Scourge Beast is a creature that has recently shed the entirety of his/her humanity, both physically and mentally. Their transformations are generally more gradual, sprouting fur and fangs overtime while maintaining most of their human appearance for the greater period of their transitions. Some may consider these the weakest of The Scourge, but they're not something to scoff at and have an unpredictable nature that can stagger their opponents, especially if underestimated.
As for clerics and any who're devoted to the belief that Jezebel's blood is a divine essence, they have the most dramatic transformations: mutating expeditiously and on a much larger size scale. This pertains to exposure (aka the amount/potency of Vile Blood in their systems).
Additional Note: Clerics of the Holy Church are the largest beast branch.
And finally, you have Nephiriam: both a unique and superior branch of The Scourge. All adapted with better control over the mental afflictions that accompany beasthood. This allows them to hone their transformation abilities from man to monster with the exception that their human forms remain permanently altered in some way.
Additional Note: The most common form of blood sickness often results in anatomies similar to lycanthropes and other wolf-like variants. However, there have been reported cases where The Scourge, specifically Nephiriam, have developed physical traits similar to bears or bats. Why and how this occurs is unknown and is as equally complex as the plague itself.​

CHARACTER INSIGHT—Father Gabriel Gabriel wasn't born sociopathic, though he became that way as a result of an impending madness. Depending on the timeline in which a story takes place between Jezebel and another character, Father Gabriel may have already succumbed to beasthood and, therefore, slain by the very church he once governed.

He has extensive knowledge in the medical field and an obsession with trinkets, landing him in a rather fascinating niche that, on many levels, pair well with the twins given his role as their practitioner. He stands 7'11" in height, is somewhat lanky, and fondly enigmatic. ​
