[Astral Harmony]

Damn it, I noticed that Overcast already took my idea. Oh well, maybe there can be two big eaters in the family? Eh, I'll change it if I gotta so just say the word, m'lord.

Name: Kaitlyn Wales
Age: 19
Gender: Femme Fatale
Physical Description: 5' 1" and 117 lbs. Has brown hair tinged with red and hazel eyes. Wears glasses, but doesn't really need them. Most notable for her big forehead. She's pretty cute, but due to wearing big sweaters and long skirts with pumps, she doesn't stand out nearly as much as she could.
Bio/Background/Etc: Kaitlyn lived an abnormally average life in an abnormally average neighborhood. The kind of neighborhood where everyone knew everyone else's names and people pretty much never connected with those outside their town. Kaitlyn's life was well grounded and one its way to being ordinary and very tiresome.
Kaitlyn didn't really want that life but was willing to accept it before. Now she would kill to get that life back.

On her nineteenth birthday, she went out on a date with her boyfriend-since-childhood Jeffery Woods, assuming that she would be giving him everything.

That night, his blood was dripping from her oversized and otherwise shiny teeth as she vacuumed his blood-filled organs into her oversized maw.

Ever since then, Kaitlyn's sort of been on a mission. She's distanced herself from her friends in a way of trying to protect them from her mysterious nature until she could figure out what the hell just happened that night. To compliment her search to understand that side of herself, Kaitlyn works as a freelance journalist, living most of her days right out of her minivan that was given to her on her eighteenth birthday by her parents.

Monster Name: Mawface
Appearance: The bulbous, black, repulsive Mawface stands slightly taller than Kaitlyn in human form, and is actually just as wide and just as long. Its legs are thick and end in squat, flat trunk-like feet. The arms are very short, also thick, and end in two large, broad claws apiece, capable of crushing bones if swung hard enough. The head is a misshapen lump of flesh with two big, slanted eyes that sort of hangs forward like an afterthought.

Mawface gets its name of its enormous maw, which stretches across more than half of the anterior. The maw is sort of hex-shaped and at each corner a long, broad, swordlike fang extends roughly four feet straight out from the maw itself like a bed of swords. There are two other sets of teeth deeper into the fleshy pit of Mawface's mouth, making a total of eighteen teeth in all, with the second six being roughly half the size of the primary teeth while the third six are smaller still. The teeth are extremely sharp and are clearly meant for shredding meals while the throat is capable of generating a powerful vacuum that sucks in the ludricrus gibs.

Because of the sheer size and length of these teeth, the maw is permanently open and constantly gives off the nauseating stench of Mawface's meals. Mawface doesn't appear to have any kind of tongue or even a jaw, relying on powerful muscles to hold and move the teeth instead.
Abilities/Powers
- Gastric Purge ~ Sometimes it's hard for Mawface to cut its food for easy dining. In this case, Mawface is able to eject putrid digestive fluids capable of dissolving clothes, melting flesh, and even eating through some armor up to a maximum of roughly six meters.
- Devouring Void ~ Mawface can draw things in up to a distance of roughly three meters away with one mighty inhalation. Heavy things, powerful things that can resist, or things that are bolted down can avoid being yanked in.

Name: Cheryl Railspoon
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Physical Description: 5' 8" and 128 lbs. Has long black hair and blue eyes. Generally wears shades in her hair. Wears a white trenchcoat with a dark green short sleeve t-shirt, a torso harness for her revolver, long black jeans, and boots. She looks younger than she is and is beautiful enough to cause five car pileups.
Bio/Background/Etc: Cheryl Railspoon is a detective from a large precinct that investigates serious crimes in a few nearby towns, Kaitlyn's hometown being one of them. She's in charge of the investigation into Jeffery Wood's (Kaitlyn's first victim) murder, and due to Kaitlyn's connection to him and her leaving the town shortly after, Cheryl believes her to be the one who killed him, though evidence clearly shows the dirty deed to have been done by something else entirely (such as Mawface?). Cheryl is hellbent on discovering how the murder went down, and while not in hot pursuit of Kaitlyn yet, it won't be long before Cheryl starts catching up with the prime suspect.

As of right now, Cheryl is not a Paradox and has no unnatural sensations or urges about her. Fortunately for her, she's a natural crack shot, an exceptional investigator, and knows when she's overwhelmed.

Monster Name: Baroness
Appearance: Baroness is achingly beautiful, consisting of the upper body of a radiant maiden with roses in her wealth of shiny hair. Near the hips, huge crimson rose petals spread out from a large plant bulb that connects to four large, spiderlike legs the color of roots. Numerous tentacles extend from these roots and can consume large quantities of blood, Baroness's source of nourishment.
Abilities/Powers
- Thornwhip Lash ~ Turns an arm (or both) into thick, heavily thorned whips that can easily strip flesh from bone and carve stone. These whips have a reach of five meters.
- Power Roots ~ Baroness can perform considerable leaps and scale up some walls.
