THE 31 CHARACTERS 31 DAYS CHALLENGE DAY TWENTY

I know--I missed a couple of days due to my depression.  I have a post almost finished (X of The Underground is fighting me about her origin right now...but we’ll get to that) entitled The Lost Days which will make up that gap in time....but hopefully, we’ll be back to normal service for the rest of the month

This event is to create 31 characters, one for every day in May, that will be featured in an upcoming project I’m working on tentatively called Strikeforce Liberty.   It is to raise money for RAINN (The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network).  If you donate here, you will have the option to sponsor a character or give me a name to create a character for.  In these times, where the Alt-Right is attacking a woman’s right to her own body, we need to support organizations like this.

I am still looking for artists who are willing to donate a little time to make a sketch--it doesn’t have to be an elaborate finished product--visualizing these guys.  I don’t want to present a parade of Hero Machine’d lookalikes.  If you’d like to participate, please DM me through Twitter (@NocturneTomDeja).

If you are a Domicile of Dread Patreon, you’ll get a short podcast discussing the creation process for each character.  I made one of these podcasts available to the general public here.  If you’d like to hear all of these podcasts, get other exclusive goodies like reviews essays, and the upcoming Patreon-Exclusive Cimatic Mirge program, and can spare at least a dollar a month to support my efforts to Make The World Stranger, go here to sign up.

Please enjoy, and please donate.

THE UGLY SISTER

Names: Giselle and Gabriella Volk
Location: Presently mobile, mainly New York City, New York.
Occupation: Models and Serial Killers

The Volk sisters spent their entire life being told how beautiful and special they were...and they hated it.

They knew their own reality.  They knew that they were creatures of shadow, dark and twisted things made only to prey upon those lesser than them.  For the longest time they indulged their unholy thirsts in secret, luring the unwitting into the woods outside their home in Germany....

...until they accidentally lured one of their own kind.

It called itself The Deathless Brain and it offered the sisters something they needed--a way to express their true natures on the outside as well as on the inside.  They learned under it and, at its direction, began to trade on their beautiful shell as models so they could move freely around the world.  And all it asked was that, from time to time, they would slake their bloodthirst in its service.

The Volk sisters continue to hunt, continue to prey...only now, when they hunt, they are their true selves.  To the pitiful bags of meat they are ugly--but to themselves, they have never been more gloriously beautiful.

The Volks have the ability to tranformed into brutish creatures that seem partially mammalian, partially reptilian, with sharp claws, armored plating and mouthfuls of razor-sharp teeth.  They consider these forms to be their true forms, and the tall, leggy brunettes they present themselves as when in public as their ‘flesh masks.’
