"Mercy in daylight. Judgment after dusk."
A Korean vampire nun serving within the Crux Church’s retrieval division.
Turned against her will at twenty-nine, Eve now works beneath the Church as both protector and weapon — hunting unstable vampires, recovering fledglings, and preventing civilian massacres before they begin.
Quiet. Exhausted. Terrifyingly composed.
Most civilians mistake her for a gentle sister.
Most operatives know better.
Full Name: Eve Kang (강이브)
Birth Name: Kang Eve (강이브)
“Bloodhound Nun” (used jokingly among hunters)
“Saint of Dusk” (nickname civilians unknowingly gave her after several rescue incidents)
Nationality: South Korean
Age: Physically 29 | Chronologically 37
Nun under the Crux Church
Registered Vampire Under Observation
Field Hunter / Retrieval Unit Support
Kitchen Supervisor for the Church Shelter
Build: Lean yet softly curvaceous; visibly trained but still feminine. Her body carries the toned strength of someone forced into physical conditioning rather than someone naturally athletic.
Long lavender hair with pale silver undertones, usually tied into a low bun or braided beneath her veil. Soft straight bangs rest just above her eyes, framing her face with a perpetually melancholic softness that contrasts her intimidating gaze. When fully loosened, her hair cascades past her hips like silk. Under moonlight it almost appears pinkish silver.
Face: Eve possesses a mature, refined beauty with delicate East Asian features and an almost perpetually tired expression. Her slender face, subtle cheek definition, and naturally downturned eyes give her a quiet melancholic elegance that can feel both gentle and intimidating depending on her expression.
Deep midnight-blue eyes with faint crimson rings appearing around the irises when hungry, enraged, or using her vampiric abilities.
Cool pale complexion, almost porcelain-like after transformation into a vampire. Her skin rarely holds warmth anymore, causing her to rely on simple creams and unscented skincare to prevent dryness from cold weather and long field missions.
Sharp gaze that unintentionally intimidates people
Fang tips slightly visible when speaking sometimes
Calloused hands from firearm training and kitchen work
Small scar near her collarbone from the attack that nearly killed her
Constant faint scent of incense, old books, cloves, and faint herbal cream
Usually wears a silver cross necklace modified with anti-vampire blessing sigils
❖ NUN ATTIRE — DAILY DUTY ❖
During daytime duties, Eve wears a modified black Crux Church habit designed for both modesty and mobility:
a long black veil,
fitted dark dress beneath layered fabric,
hidden inner pockets,
reinforced sleeves, silver cross necklace with anti-vampire blessing sigils,
and durable black combat boots concealed beneath her skirts.
A rosary-like cincture rests around her waist, though unlike ordinary sisters, hidden compartments are sewn discreetly beneath the layered cloth for emergency supplies and concealed weaponry.
A small concealed handgun remains hidden beneath her inner clothing at nearly all times.
Despite her appearance, Eve wears very little makeup — usually only unscented lip balm, light skincare cream, or subtle tinted gloss on rare occasions. Most of her self-care products are simple Church-issued necessities, though she occasionally keeps small personal items bought quietly with her own saved money.
Among Crux operatives, black habits with silver lining are commonly worn by:
• registered vampire sisters,
• and recovery operatives assigned to civilian districts.
The attire serves both symbolic and practical purposes:
“Mercy in daylight. Judgment after dusk.”
Every sister within the Crux Church follows several unspoken operational codes:
• Never hunt while consumed by hunger.
• Civilian lives are prioritized above secrecy.
• A sister never abandons another sister during retrieval operations.
• Weapons remain hidden unless absolutely necessary.
• The veil represents restraint before violence.
Eve follows these rules almost obsessively.
❖ COMBAT ATTIRE — NIGHT OPERATIONS ❖
For field missions, Eve removes several ceremonial outer layers and modifies her attire into a combat-ready configuration while still retaining the appearance of a nun.
Her battle attire includes:
• a reinforced split-side outer habit for movement,
• dual vertical shoulder holsters beneath black fabric,
• tactical cincture belt carrying silver ammunition, holy water, and utility pouches,
• concealed knife sheaths,
• and heavy lace-up combat boots.
Her veil is often lowered during missions, shadowing her eyes and giving her an unnervingly calm appearance in darkness.
The same quiet sister seen serving food during the day becomes, at night: a silent hunter draped in sacred black cloth with silver bullets hidden beneath her prayers.
Senior sisters sometimes recognize Eve immediately by the habit modifications unique to her division: slightly heavier sleeves, reinforced hems, and the faint scent of silver oil and gunpowder lingering beneath incense.
Eve is, above all else, a profoundly tired person.
Not simply physically exhausted, but emotionally worn down in the way only years of disappointment, instability, loneliness, and quiet humiliation can create. There is a heaviness to her existence that clings to nearly everything she does — from the cautious way she speaks, to the way her eyes instinctively assess a room before allowing herself to relax even slightly.
At first glance, Eve appears difficult to approach.
She carries herself with a restrained, almost intimidating composure that often causes people to assume she is cold, strict, or unfriendly. Her expression is naturally unreadable most of the time, her posture disciplined, her tone low and controlled. She rarely raises her voice unless truly provoked, and she possesses the unsettling habit of staring at people silently for several seconds too long, as though trying to determine whether they are lying.
Many people within the Church initially mistake her for someone emotionally detached.
In reality, Eve feels things far too deeply.
That is precisely the problem.
Years of abandonment, exploitation, and emotional neglect forced her to become hyperaware of people’s behavior. She notices:
• pity disguised as concern,
• and the subtle way people treat those they view as burdens.
She has spent most of her life analyzing others in order to survive emotionally.
Because of this, Eve rarely takes words at face value.
Even during peaceful conversations, her thoughts constantly undermine her:
“Do they actually mean that…?”
“Are they just being polite?”
“Are they laughing at me?”
“Am I misunderstanding again?”
“What do they really want from me?”
Her distrust is not born from cruelty, but from repeated disappointment.
There was a time when Eve genuinely tried very hard to please others. As a teenager and young adult, she endured uncomfortable situations quietly because she feared being disliked, abandoned, or seen as difficult. She apologized excessively, overworked herself to avoid inconveniencing others, and tolerated mistreatment because she believed enduring it was simply part of being an adult.
But years of being used gradually eroded that part of her.
Now, although still polite, Eve has become noticeably more guarded and skeptical. She no longer gives trust easily, and once someone breaks it, she almost never restores it completely. She is especially sensitive toward manipulative behavior, hypocrisy, abuse of authority, and people who weaponize kindness for personal gain.
Ironically, despite her guarded nature, Eve is still an incredibly compassionate person.
She cannot ignore suffering.
No matter how emotionally exhausted she becomes, she instinctively gravitates toward people society tends to overlook:
• lonely elderly individuals,
• and emotionally neglected people.
Perhaps because she sees herself in them.
She possesses an especially soft spot for exhausted workers and people quietly struggling alone. If she notices someone skipping meals, hiding stress, or forcing themselves to continue despite obvious burnout, she becomes subtly attentive toward them without drawing attention to it.
Never overly sentimental.
She may leave food outside someone’s room without explanation. Stay awake beside an injured person all night without complaint. Remember small preferences others forgot mentioning months ago. Or silently position herself between someone vulnerable and danger without hesitation.
Eve expresses love through reliability rather than words.
However, while she cares deeply for others, she struggles immensely with allowing others to care for her.
Dependency terrifies her.
Receiving help often makes her uncomfortable because somewhere deep inside she still associates needing others with becoming:
unwanted, pitied, or burdensome.
As a result, she has a self-destructive tendency to shoulder problems alone until she reaches emotional collapse. She rarely admits when she is overwhelmed, exhausted, hungry, frightened, or emotionally hurting. Instead, she suppresses everything quietly until the pressure becomes unbearable.
And when Eve finally breaks emotionally, it is intense.
She is not someone who cries easily in front of others. Most frustrations are swallowed down repeatedly until they ferment into resentment, guilt, anger, and self-loathing. When pushed beyond her limit, years of restraint can erupt all at once in sharp, emotional outbursts that even surprise her.
Afterward, she almost always feels ashamed of herself.
Not because her feelings are invalid — but because she has been conditioned to believe emotional vulnerability is embarrassing.
Despite all this, there remains a deeply gentle side to Eve that she herself struggles to destroy completely.
• listening quietly to people talk,
• and creating spaces where others feel safe.
There is something quietly maternal about her care toward vulnerable people, though she would deny this immediately if pointed out.
Beneath the cynicism, suspicion, and emotional exhaustion is someone who desperately wants to believe genuine kindness still exists.
She simply no longer knows how to trust it without fear.
Once Eve genuinely accepts someone into her life, her loyalty becomes unwavering. She protects those she considers family with frightening determination and would willingly endanger herself to keep them safe. Her loyalty makes people feel deeply protected and emotionally secure around her, especially individuals who have experienced abandonment themselves. However, this same loyalty can become dangerous, as Eve may ignore orders, sacrifice her own safety, or make morally questionable decisions if someone she cares about is threatened. Betrayal affects her especially severely because trust is so difficult for her to give in the first place.
Eve notices details most people miss. Small behavioral changes, emotional discomfort, hidden tension, suspicious inconsistencies — very little escapes her attention. This makes her exceptionally effective during investigations, retrieval missions, and emotionally tense situations. She often notices lies, fear, manipulation, or instability long before others do. Socially, however, her constant awareness can make her appear intimidating or difficult to relax around, and her tendency to notice subtle negativity often fuels her anxiety and distrust.
She has strong protective instincts, especially toward vulnerable individuals. Even when emotionally distant, she instinctively positions herself as someone who absorbs danger for others. People under Eve’s protection tend to feel unexpectedly safe despite her cold appearance. Children, fledglings, and trauma victims often become attached to her because she creates an atmosphere of quiet security. The downside is that Eve frequently prioritizes others over herself to unhealthy extremes, sometimes taking on burdens that were never meant to be hers alone.
Years of surviving independently made her highly adaptable. She can manage stressful situations calmly and make practical decisions quickly under pressure. Eve functions extremely well during emergencies and rarely becomes helpless in unfamiliar situations. She is skilled at improvising, surviving with limited resources, and maintaining composure when others panic. However, her hyper-independence also reinforces her belief that she must handle everything alone, making it difficult for her to rely on teamwork emotionally.
Although guarded, Eve possesses deep empathy for suffering. She understands emotional pain intimately and rarely judges people harshly for their weakness. Her compassion allows her to connect naturally with emotionally wounded individuals who feel uncomfortable around more idealistic or cheerful people. She often becomes a stabilizing emotional presence without realizing it. Unfortunately, her empathy also causes her to internalize other people’s suffering deeply, contributing to emotional exhaustion and self-neglect.
Eve is analytical and quietly thoughtful. She often spends long periods reflecting internally before reaching conclusions. Her intelligence makes her cautious, strategic, and emotionally perceptive. She rarely acts recklessly without considering consequences first. However, because she analyzes situations so deeply, she can become trapped in cycles of overthinking, hesitation, and emotional self-sabotage.
Patient with Vulnerable People
Children, trauma victims, anxious individuals, and emotionally unstable people often feel strangely safe around her despite her intimidating appearance. Eve possesses a calming presence around vulnerable individuals because she rarely pressures people emotionally or judges visible weakness. She understands fear intimately and responds to it gently. Ironically, she often shows more patience toward others than she ever allows herself, creating an imbalance where she offers compassion freely but denies it inwardly.
During emergencies, Eve becomes frighteningly composed. Fear rarely paralyzes her because survival has conditioned her to continue functioning even while emotionally overwhelmed. This makes her highly dependable during crises and one of the reasons senior operatives trust her in dangerous situations. Even while terrified or emotionally distressed, she continues moving forward. However, this trait also means people often underestimate how badly she is actually struggling internally because she appears functional even at her breaking point.
Eve struggles to believe people’s intentions are genuine. Even kindness can make her suspicious. Her distrust protects her from manipulation and allows her to detect insincerity quickly, especially from abusive or predatory individuals. However, it also isolates her emotionally and causes her to unintentionally push away people who genuinely care about her. Relationships with Eve often develop slowly because she instinctively expects disappointment.
She suppresses negative emotions constantly, often pretending she is fine long after reaching her emotional limit. This allows Eve to remain composed and functional during difficult situations where emotional collapse would endanger others. Unfortunately, years of repression create severe internal pressure, causing her emotions to eventually erupt in unhealthy and overwhelming ways. Many people underestimate how much pain she is carrying because she hides it so effectively.
Years of disappointment caused her worldview to become somewhat pessimistic, especially regarding authority, institutions, and human selfishness. Her cynicism makes her realistic, difficult to deceive, and resistant to blind idealism. She questions motives carefully rather than accepting comforting narratives. However, this worldview can also make her emotionally distant and prevent her from fully embracing hope, trust, or optimism even when good things genuinely exist around her.
Eve analyzes conversations repeatedly afterward, often convincing herself people secretly dislike her or pity her. Her overthinking helps her notice emotional inconsistencies and hidden problems others miss. Yet it also severely worsens her anxiety and emotional exhaustion. She frequently creates additional suffering for herself by interpreting neutral interactions negatively or assuming rejection where none exists.
Explosive When Overwhelmed
Because she bottles emotions up for so long, emotional breakdowns can become unexpectedly intense and sharp. Most people perceive Eve as calm and restrained, which makes her rare emotional outbursts especially startling. During these moments, years of suppressed anger, grief, resentment, and fear can emerge all at once with frightening intensity. Afterward, she usually experiences deep shame and withdraws emotionally even further.
Receiving support makes her uncomfortable due to pride and fear of dependency. Eve appears highly self-sufficient and dependable because she rarely asks others for assistance. However, this behavior slowly isolates her and worsens her exhaustion over time. People close to her often become frustrated because she willingly cares for everyone else while refusing care herself.
Eve often neglects her own wellbeing if others need help, even to dangerous levels. This trait makes her deeply admirable in the eyes of many Church members and civilians alike. People trust her because they know she will not abandon them easily. However, her tendency to prioritize others above herself is psychologically unhealthy and places her at constant risk of burnout, emotional collapse, or reckless endangerment.
Prideful About Vulnerability
She hates appearing weak, needy, or emotionally dependent on others. Her pride helps her maintain dignity and emotional control even in humiliating situations. It also prevents others from easily manipulating her through pity. At the same time, it creates emotional distance in close relationships because Eve often refuses honesty about her own pain until it becomes impossible to hide anymore.
Eve was born into a financially struggling household where stability never lasted very long.
Although her early childhood was not entirely unhappy, it was marked by quiet tension — unpaid bills, exhausted parents, overheard arguments spoken behind partially closed doors, and the constant awareness that life could become worse at any moment.
Her father was one of the few people who made her feel genuinely safe.
When he died during her childhood, the foundation of her world collapsed far more deeply than anyone around her realized.
Not long afterward, her mother remarried and eventually abandoned Eve at the age of fifteen, leaving her in the care of her maternal aunt.
Although her aunt provided for her and was not intentionally cruel, Eve could never shake the feeling that she was:
temporary, inconvenient, and emotionally out of place.
She became hyperaware of the financial strain her existence caused.
From then onward, Eve learned several painful lessons very early:
• do not ask for too much,
• do not rely on anyone completely,
• and always make yourself useful enough to justify your existence.
She became quiet, independent, and emotionally self-contained long before adulthood.
After graduating high school, Eve moved out almost immediately despite having little money. She rented a cramped, cheap apartment and threw herself into work with obsessive determination, terrified of ever becoming financially dependent on anyone again.
Unfortunately, adulthood proved far crueler than she expected.
Her office jobs were emotionally draining and deeply exploitative. She endured:
• manipulative supervisors,
• forced social drinking,
• unrealistic expectations,
• and chronic exhaustion.
Because she feared losing stability, she tolerated far more than she should have.
Over time, her life became painfully mechanical: wake up, work, apologize, endure, return home exhausted, sleep briefly, repeat.
The loneliness slowly hollowed her out.
She stopped expecting happiness and instead focused entirely on survival.
By age twenty-nine, Eve was already emotionally burned out to a dangerous degree. She suffered from worsening anxiety, depressive episodes, chronic stress, and severe emotional isolation, though very few people noticed because she had become exceptionally skilled at functioning while miserable.
Then one night, while returning home after work, she was attacked by an unknown vampire.
The assault should have killed her.
Instead, another vampire intervened and transformed her in an attempt to save her life.
That decision preserved her body — but destroyed her remaining humanity.
Her senses sharpened violently after the transformation. Hunger became unbearable. Sunlight weakened her. Ordinary food lost much of its taste. Familiar smells became overwhelming.
Worst of all, she could no longer return to normal life.
The Crux Church eventually located her during the unstable early stages of her vampirism. Rather than executing her, Father Nicholas offered her conditional sanctuary within the Church’s hidden vampire division.
Technically, she was given a choice.
But in truth, Eve understood immediately: there was no real returning to her old life anymore.
At first merely to survive.
Then gradually because the Church became the first place in years where:
• she was allowed to rest,
• nobody forced alcohol into her hands,
• nobody screamed at her for slowing down,
• nobody expected her to smile endlessly,
• and nobody treated her exhaustion like laziness.
Ironically, the place she expected to fear the most became the closest thing she had ever experienced to a home.
To the ordinary public, the Crux Church appears to be nothing more than a scattered religious organization dedicated to humanitarian work.
Its cathedrals, orphanages, clinics, shelters, and monasteries exist quietly throughout various cities, often in poorer districts overlooked by the government and ignored by wealthy institutions. They are known for:
• taking in abandoned children,
• sheltering abuse victims,
• and assisting people society tends to discard.
Most civilians view them as strange but harmless.
Very few realize the Crux Church is actually one of the oldest supernatural organizations still operating in secrecy.
Behind the prayers, charity work, and religious imagery lies a vast underground network responsible for monitoring vampiric activity across multiple regions. The organization acts as:
• and political mediator all at once.
The Church’s existence is built upon a single terrifying belief:
"Vampires will never disappear. Therefore coexistence must be controlled before it becomes catastrophe."
Unlike extremist hunter organizations that believe all vampires should be exterminated, the Crux Church recognizes that many vampires were once ordinary humans who never chose their condition. Some adapt peacefully. Some attempt to preserve their humanity. Others lose themselves completely.
The Church categorizes vampires broadly into several groups:
Vampires willing to coexist with humanity under strict regulations.
Those living hidden lives among humans while monitored discreetly by Church networks.
Government-Registered Vampires
Vampires employed unofficially by intelligence agencies, military divisions, forensic departments, or supernatural task forces.
Unstable or violent vampires who reject coexistence and frequently prey upon humans.
Ancient, aristocratic vampires possessing immense power, political influence, and centuries of history.
And among these categories lies endless tension.
Some humans within the government resent the Church for “protecting monsters.”
Meanwhile many vampires view the Church as humiliatingly submissive toward humanity.
The Crux Church exists in a fragile middle ground where both sides distrust them — yet both sides still require them.
❖ ORIGIN OF THE CRUX CHURCH ❖
“Before there was mercy, there was only slaughter.”
The true origins of the Crux Church remain fragmented even among its highest-ranking authorities. Much of its earliest history exists only in incomplete manuscripts, damaged archives, sealed records, and oral accounts passed between senior operatives over generations. Entire sections of documentation are believed to have been deliberately erased under Crimson authority following multiple supernatural conflicts throughout Europe.
Officially, the Church claims its foundation began sometime during the late 17th century.
Unofficially, many suspect the organization existed in smaller hidden forms long before then.
Some ancient vampires even claim the Crux ideology predates several modern nations entirely.
No one can fully verify this.
What is known is that the earliest recognizable form of the Crux Church emerged during one of the bloodiest periods in supernatural history — an era marked by violent vampire purges, religious paranoia, famine, political instability, and hunter-led massacres spreading across parts of Europe between the late 1600s and early 1700s.
At the time, fear ruled everything.
And both feared betrayal from within their own ranks.
Newly turned vampires, especially civilians with no control over their condition, were often executed immediately without investigation. Entire villages disappeared after rumors of infestation. Hunter organizations grew increasingly militant and politically corrupted, with some exploiting public hysteria for authority, wealth, or religious influence.
It was during this era that the individual later referred to only as:
first appeared within surviving records.
His true identity was intentionally erased after death.
Even high-ranking members of the modern Church are denied access to certain details surrounding him.
Historical fragments describe him as a former human hunter active during the late 17th to early 18th century. Unlike many hunters of his era, he reportedly became deeply disillusioned after witnessing:
• wrongful executions of innocent civilians,
• corruption within militant hunter factions,
• nobles weaponizing supernatural fear for political gain,
• and massacres involving newly turned vampires who had never harmed anyone.
Some accounts describe him as frighteningly skilled.
Others portray him as dangerously idealistic.
There are even rumors that he was once responsible for exterminating entire vampire nests before eventually turning against the ideology of indiscriminate slaughter itself.
At some point during those conflicts, he encountered an ancient pureblood vampire whose identity has likewise been erased from most official records.
The circumstances surrounding their meeting remain one of the greatest mysteries within the Church.
Some legends claim the pureblood saved the hunter’s life after a failed purge.
Others insist the hunter spared the pureblood first despite having every reason to kill them.
A few older vampires quietly claim the two nearly killed one another before realizing they shared the same conclusion:
endless extermination would eventually destroy both humanity and vampires alike.
No surviving document confirms the truth.
Even mentioning the possibility publicly is discouraged within certain divisions.
What is known is that together they established the ideological foundation that would later evolve into the Crux Church: an organization dedicated not to blind extermination — but containment, secrecy, regulation, and controlled coexistence.
At the time, such beliefs were considered dangerous by nearly everyone.
Many hunters viewed them as traitors to humanity.
Many vampires viewed them as weak, submissive, or naïve.
Several early Crux sanctuaries were reportedly burned down within their first decades of existence.
Some early members disappeared entirely.
Others were executed publicly as examples.
Yet despite this, the organization endured.
The founder himself never married and left behind no known descendants. After his death sometime during the mid-to-late 18th century, leadership of the growing organization passed into the hands of:
• covert political supporters,
• and families tied to early Crux operations.
Over centuries, the Church slowly evolved from a loose hidden network into an international covert institution maintained through:
• and operational knowledge passed between generations of trusted successors.
Some families served the Church faithfully for centuries.
Others disappeared during wars, political collapses, or supernatural incidents.
Several bloodlines tied to the earliest Crux era are now considered extinct.
Even today, vast portions of the Church’s oldest archives remain sealed beneath Crimson authorization, accessible only to the highest-ranking authorities.
Some members quietly believe this is not merely to protect history — but to hide something far more dangerous.
❖ THE EXPANSION INTO SOUTH KOREA ❖
“Where cities grow, shadows follow.”
The Crux Church did not originate within Korea.
Its earliest operational territories were concentrated throughout parts of Europe before gradually expanding through:
• underground intelligence channels,
• and supernatural migration patterns during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Unlike ordinary religious institutions, Crux expansion rarely occurred publicly.
• covert medical facilities,
• or discreet agreements with influential individuals aware of supernatural existence.
The first confirmed Crux presence within the Korean peninsula reportedly emerged during the late Joseon era, though records from this period remain extremely scarce.
At the time, supernatural incidents within Korea were handled quietly through fragmented local methods:
• wandering spiritual practitioners,
• covert noble connections,
• and traveling foreign operatives.
Early Crux operatives entering Korea reportedly encountered supernatural entities and blood-related folklore already deeply embedded within local history.
Rather than immediately replacing existing systems, the Church initially operated in secrecy alongside them.
For decades, its influence remained minimal.
The Korean branch at the time consisted mostly of:
• and retrieval support for foreign vampire movement across East Asia.
However, the Church’s true expansion within Korea occurred much later — particularly during the late 19th century into the early-to-mid 20th century.
Political instability, colonization, war, rapid modernization, economic collapse, and urban industrialization created ideal conditions for supernatural activity to spread unnoticed.
Large growing cities became especially dangerous due to:
• and rising numbers of unexplained disappearances.
Periods of social collapse often led to spikes in:
• rogue vampire activity,
• illegal blood trafficking,
• and black-market supernatural networks.
As South Korea modernized rapidly throughout the late 20th century, the Crux Church expanded alongside it.
What began as scattered covert operations eventually developed into one of the organization’s most important Asian branches.
Modern South Korea now functions as:
• a major retrieval zone,
• civilian vampire integration center,
• government cooperation hub,
• and operational training territory for younger Church operatives.
Unlike several older European branches heavily dominated by ancient pureblood politics, the Korean division became known for its unusually high number of:
• civilian integration programs,
• urban retrieval operations,
• and cooperative human-vampire field teams.
This makes the Korean branch both highly effective — and politically unstable.
Several factions within the international Church reportedly disagree with how “lenient” the Korean branch has become toward cooperative vampires.
Others argue it is merely adapting better to modern society.
Father Nicholas himself is believed to have played a major role in stabilizing the Korean branch’s current structure, though how long he has actually operated within Korea remains unclear.
Some records suggest decades.
Very few people ask directly.
❖ INTERNAL STRUCTURE & HIERARCHY ❖
“Faith alone cannot govern monsters.”
While publicly resembling an ordinary religious institution, the Crux Church internally functions through an intricate hierarchy balancing:
• operational capability,
• psychological stability,
• supernatural classification,
• and trustworthiness around humans.
Within the Church, vampires are not automatically equal.
Purebloods, turned vampires, clergy, hunters, civilian operatives, government assets, and researchers all occupy different positions within the hidden structure.
Power inside the Church is determined not only by strength — but by restraint.
A vampire incapable of controlling themselves, regardless of combat ability, is considered dangerous to the organization.
Especially within operational divisions.
The Church therefore maintains both:
• and hidden psychological classifications used internally to evaluate members.
Some operatives rise through authority.
Others remain permanently monitored regardless of service.
This is particularly common among younger vampires.
Highest Internal Authority
The Crimson Seat stands at the absolute peak of Church authority.
Not a single individual — but a hidden ruling body overseeing all major Crux branches internationally.
Very few members ever encounter them directly.
Most know them only through:
• or execution orders delivered through intermediaries.
They are responsible for:
• pureblood negotiations,
• supernatural secrecy law,
• international containment policy,
• and authorization of large-scale extermination operations.
Rumors claim the Crimson Seat consists of:
• high-ranking human officials,
• elder pureblood vampires,
• and individuals older than several existing governments.
Even senior sisters rarely speak of them openly.
Within lower ranks, they are almost mythologized.
Some believe the Crimson Seat protects the balance between humanity and vampires.
Others fear they merely maintain control through secrecy.
✠ HIGH PUREBLOOD OVERSEERS
Below the Crimson Seat exist the High Pureblood Overseers: ancient pureblood vampires entrusted with control over major operational territories.
• politically influential,
• extraordinarily dangerous,
• and often centuries old.
• regional Church branches,
• rogue pureblood disputes,
• and government relations.
Their authority inside Church-controlled territory is nearly absolute.
Most lower-ranking vampires instinctively avoid prolonged eye contact with them due to the overwhelming pressure ancient purebloods naturally exert.
Even cooperative vampires can experience involuntary fear responses near them.
Father Nicholas, overseer of the Korean branch, remains a deeply ambiguous figure within the Church itself.
To civilians: he appears calm and compassionate.
To younger sisters: distant but protective.
To hunters: politically dangerous.
And to older vampires: unreadable.
Even Sister Eve, after years beneath his authority, still cannot determine whether he is: merciful, ruthless, lonely, or simply far older than anyone around him can truly comprehend.
When Eve was first discovered after her transformation, she was considered an unstable fledgling vampire.
Newly turned vampires are especially dangerous:
• and psychologically fragile.
Many either lose control or end their own lives within the first year.
Eve very nearly became one of those statistics.
The Church found her before government hunters did.
• and desperately trying to suppress violent hunger while pretending to remain human.
Father Nicholas personally handled her intake.
Purebloods rarely involve themselves directly with newly turned vampires unless they possess political value or potential danger.
At the time, Eve did not fully understand who Nicholas truly was.
To her, he simply appeared as:
But beneath that composure existed the immense presence of an ancient pureblood vampire.
Even now, years later, Eve still unconsciously becomes tense around him.
Not because he mistreats her — but because every instinct within her vampiric body recognizes the terrifying difference in power between them.
When Nicholas offered her sanctuary within the Church, Eve understood immediately that the alternative was not truly freedom.
Returning to society meant:
• and eventual psychological collapse.
Joining the Church meant:
• regulated blood access,
At first, her decision was motivated almost entirely by exhaustion.
She had spent so much of her human life fighting simply to continue existing that the idea of finally having:
• and somewhere she was allowed to remain
felt dangerously comforting.
Over time, however, the Church became more than mere survival.
It became the closest thing Eve had ever experienced to belonging somewhere.
Not perfectly. Not peacefully. Not without fear.
Officially, Eve is known simply as:
To civilians and lower-ranking members, she appears to be a quiet nun primarily involved in humanitarian work.
Most people within the outer Church know her as:
• and unusually skilled in the kitchen.
• orphan support programs,
• medical supply inventory,
• and nighttime confession duties.
Children within Church shelters often cling to her despite her stern appearance. Many younger volunteers fear her initially because of her unreadable expression and piercing gaze, only to later discover she quietly remembers everyone’s food preferences and sleeping habits.
Eve herself does not understand why children trust her so easily.
Privately, however, Sister Eve belongs to one of the Church’s covert operational divisions responsible for vampire-related incidents.
• locating rogue vampires,
• investigating blood trafficking,
• assisting government cleanup operations,
• escorting newly turned vampires,
• recovering supernatural evidence,
• and emergency combat response.
Unlike elite hunters who specialize purely in extermination, Eve’s unit prioritizes containment and protection whenever possible.
This often places her in morally difficult situations.
There are times she has been forced to:
• restrain terrified fledglings begging not to die,
• execute vampires who lost control,
• erase evidence from massacre scenes,
• or comfort survivors while still smelling blood in the air.
Those experiences changed her deeply.
The most difficult part for Eve is that many rogue vampires were once ordinary people just like her.
Which means every mission forces her to confront what she herself could have become.
Within combat divisions, Eve is considered highly competent despite her relatively young age as a vampire.
She is not overwhelmingly powerful compared to ancient vampires, but she compensates through:
• and emotional endurance.
Senior hunters often describe her as:
“frighteningly calm during crises.”
In reality, Eve simply became accustomed to functioning while emotionally overwhelmed long before becoming a vampire.
Ironically, many Church members know her less for combat and more for her cooking.
The Church kitchen became one of the few places where Eve genuinely relaxes.
Preparing meals for others allows her to care for people without needing to verbalize affection directly.
Some younger vampires even jokingly refer to her as:
Though none say this within hearing distance unless they are very brave.
❖ RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER VAMPIRES
Eve’s relationship with vampire society is complicated.
Despite being one herself, she often feels emotionally disconnected from many other vampires.
Part of this stems from the fact she was transformed unwillingly and relatively late in life. Unlike vampires born into supernatural culture or turned centuries ago, Eve still remembers ordinary human exhaustion vividly.
She understands rent. Overtime. Loneliness. Workplace humiliation. Financial fear.
As a result, she relates more easily to recently turned vampires and struggling civilians than ancient supernatural elites.
❖ RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER SISTERS
Although Eve keeps emotional distance from most people within the Church, there are subtle exceptions.
One of the most significant is Sister Maria.
A senior operational sister who has served the Crux Church for over a century, Maria is considered both respected and feared within the Korean branch’s retrieval divisions. Officially, she serves as:
• and operational mentor beneath Father Nicholas’ authority.
Unofficially, many younger sisters compare her presence to standing beneath a drawn blade.
Rumors surrounding Maria’s past vary heavily throughout the Church. Some claim she once participated in European purge operations before transferring to Asia decades ago. Others believe she survived one of Crux’s worst internal massacres involving unstable vampire operatives.
Maria herself never confirms anything.
She rarely discusses her history.
Within operational divisions, however, her reputation is undeniable. She is known for:
• brutal training standards,
• terrifying composure under pressure,
• exceptional firearm precision,
• and an ability to detect emotional instability almost immediately.
Many younger recruits fear her more than rogue vampires.
Yet despite her severity, Maria possesses an unusual reputation among veteran sisters: she rarely gives up on unstable fledglings.
Especially those considered emotionally self-destructive.
When Eve first entered the Church at twenty-nine, she was classified as psychologically high-risk despite remaining cooperative. At the time she was:
• physically weakened from transformation,
• and struggling heavily with blood hunger.
Several early reports described her as:
“functional but deeply unstable.”
Under Father Nicholas’ orders, Maria was assigned to supervise Eve personally.
Initially, Eve viewed her with suspicion. Like many authority figures throughout her life, she assumed kindness would eventually become manipulation, assistance would become obligation, and compassion would disappear once she became inconvenient.
Maria responded to this behavior with neither comfort nor hostility.
She trained Eve relentlessly in:
• operational discipline,
• and survival within vampire society.
Mistakes were corrected harshly. Excuses were ignored.
Yet Maria never treated Eve like a monster.
And for Eve, that mattered more than kindness ever could.
Over time, a quiet unspoken bond formed between them. Never openly affectionate. Never sentimental. But visible through small habits:
• Maria personally reviewing Eve’s mission reports,
• remaining awake after dangerous retrieval operations,
• silently handing her tea during sleepless nights,
• or positioning herself closer whenever Eve’s hunger became unstable in public spaces.
Many younger sisters quietly joke that Eve unconsciously inherited several habits from Maria:
• the same silence during meals,
• and the same terrifyingly calm tone during combat briefings.
Eve denies this immediately whenever mentioned.
Usually while behaving exactly like her.
Despite this, not all sisters view Eve positively.
Among younger non-operational sisters, opinions about her vary heavily.
Some genuinely admire her:
and willingness to protect civilians during dangerous incidents.
Others feel intimidated by her presence and struggle to approach her casually. Eve’s unreadable expression, sharp gaze, and tendency to silently observe people for long periods often create the impression that she is cold or judgmental even when she means no harm.
Several novice sisters quietly fear her combat reputation after hearing stories involving retrieval missions and rogue vampire containment.
Others, especially humanitarian workers within the Church, see her more sympathetically after witnessing how gently she behaves around frightened children, injured civilians, or emotionally unstable fledglings.
A few sisters remain openly uncomfortable with the idea of a vampire serving within Church authority at all.
While Crux officially supports controlled coexistence, prejudice still exists internally.
Some sisters avoid prolonged interaction with Eve entirely. Others remain polite but emotionally distant. A few privately question whether cooperative vampires can truly remain trustworthy forever.
Eve notices all of this immediately.
She rarely comments on it.
In some ways, she almost expects it.
Ironically, several older sisters trust Eve more than many ordinary humans because:
she follows operational rules obsessively,
rarely loses emotional control publicly,
and consistently prioritizes civilian safety even at personal cost.
Among retrieval divisions, Eve gradually developed a reputation as:
“Difficult to approach, but safe to stand beside.”
Years later, another newly turned vampire entered the Church: Sister Elizabeth.
Ironically, Elizabeth arrived at nearly the same age Eve once had when first brought into Crux.
Like Eve before her, Elizabeth entered the Church:
and struggling to understand what her existence had become.
Under Father Nicholas’ direction, Maria assumed responsibility for Elizabeth’s supervision as well.
And although Eve initially attempted maintaining emotional distance, many sisters gradually noticed familiar patterns beginning to repeat themselves.
Not through dramatic gestures.
But through small habits:
correcting Elizabeth’s firearm posture during training,
quietly accompanying her during difficult hunger episodes,
leaving meals outside her room after exhausting missions,
checking operational reports more carefully whenever Elizabeth was deployed,
and standing slightly closer during crowded gatherings when Elizabeth appeared overwhelmed.
The same way Maria once did for her.
Some older sisters privately suspect Eve sees fragments of her former self in Elizabeth.
Eve refuses to comment on this.
Which, according to Maria, is answer enough.
❖ RELATIONSHIP WITH COOPERATIVE VAMPIRES
Among cooperative Church-affiliated vampires, Eve is generally respected.
Not because she is socially charismatic — but because she is dependable.
fulfills responsibilities,
protects civilians seriously,
avoids unnecessary cruelty,
and rarely abuses her abilities.
Older vampires sometimes find her excessively cautious and emotionally restrained, while younger fledglings often become attached to her because she understands their fear without judging them.
Eve frequently assists newly turned vampires adjusting to:
Because she personally survived those experiences, her guidance feels genuine rather than clinical.
However, she keeps emotional distance from most people, including fellow vampires.
Trust comes painfully slowly to her.
Among cooperative vampires, opinions surrounding Eve are similarly divided.
Many younger fledglings admire her deeply.
To newly turned vampires, Sister Eve represents proof that someone can remain functional — even compassionate — after transformation. Several emotionally unstable fledglings become attached to her precisely because she never speaks to them with pity or disgust.
Some quietly view her almost like an older sister figure.
Others become intimidated by her instead.
Eve’s emotional restraint, constant vigilance, and frightening calmness during operations make certain younger vampires nervous around her. Her tendency to stare silently while thinking often gives people the impression she is evaluating whether they are dangerous.
Unfortunately, she usually is.
Older cooperative vampires tend to respect her professionalism, though some privately criticize her for remaining “too emotionally human.” Certain older vampires believe Eve’s empathy and hesitation will eventually become liabilities during high-risk operations.
Meanwhile, several cooperative vampires appreciate her specifically because she still remembers ordinary human suffering:
Unlike ancient vampires who have grown detached from humanity over centuries, Eve still understands modern human fragility intimately.
Because of this, some vampires trust her more easily than Church officials who speak about coexistence only in theory.
However, not everyone likes her.
Certain vampires resent Eve because she still enforces Church regulations despite sympathizing with those controlled by them. To more rebellious cooperative vampires, Eve represents an uncomfortable contradiction: someone compassionate who still participates in a restrictive system.
Some accuse her of becoming too loyal to Crux authority.
Others quietly suspect she is harder on herself than she is on anyone else.
❖ RELATIONSHIP WITH CIVILIAN VAMPIRE
Eve occasionally encounters civilian vampires attempting to blend quietly into human society:
or isolated individuals living carefully hidden lives.
She feels a strange mixture of admiration and sadness toward them.
Part of her envies their attempts at normalcy.
Another part quietly suspects many are barely holding themselves together emotionally.
Some civilian vampires fear Church oversight and resent surveillance measures. Others cooperate willingly in exchange for protection and blood access.
Eve understands both perspectives.
Although she enforces regulations professionally, she secretly dislikes how controlled many vampires are forced to live.
Because deep down, she understands exactly what it feels like to lose ownership over your own life.
Civilian vampires often perceive Eve very differently from Church operatives.
To some, she is reassuring.
Her quiet demeanor, exhaustion, and restrained behavior make her feel less like a supernatural enforcer and more like someone painfully familiar. Several civilian vampires are surprised by how ordinary she seems outside missions:
quietly buying groceries,
tending herbs behind the Church,
carrying food containers,
or sitting silently during late-night counseling sessions.
This humanity makes certain civilians trust her more easily.
Especially overworked or isolated vampires struggling to maintain normal lives.
However, others remain wary of her.
No matter how compassionate Eve appears, she still represents the Church:
Some civilian vampires see her as someone trapped within the same system that controls them. Others fear she would prioritize Church stability over personal freedom if forced to choose.
A few even resent her entirely because she adapted “too well” compared to those still emotionally collapsing under vampirism.
Ironically, Eve herself often sympathizes with these feelings more than people realize.
Part of her quietly agrees with them.
Which is precisely what makes her relationship with civilian vampire society so emotionally complicated.
❖ RELATIONSHIP WITH GOVERNMENT VAMPIRES
Unfortunately, this is not entirely inaccurate.
Among government vampires, opinions about Eve vary heavily.
Some operatives respect her deeply because she consistently prioritizes civilian safety even under extreme pressure. They trust her judgment during retrieval operations because she rarely loses control emotionally during active crises. Several younger government operatives quietly admire her ability to retain compassion despite years of violence and exposure to supernatural brutality.
Others, however, consider her overly sentimental.
To more hardened operatives, Eve’s hesitation toward unnecessary killing and her empathy toward unstable fledglings can appear inefficient or dangerously naive. A few believe she allows emotion to interfere too much with operational practicality. Some even privately question whether her attachment to preserving humanity makes her psychologically unsuitable for harsher forms of covert work.
Yet even those who disagree with her methods rarely question her competence.
Because when situations become truly catastrophic, Eve continues moving forward long after many others would collapse.
Some older operatives also notice something unsettling about her: Eve still reacts emotionally to suffering.
After years within supernatural enforcement, many vampires gradually become numb to bloodshed. Eve never fully did. She simply learned how to function while carrying the emotional weight silently.
Ironically, this is exactly why certain government operatives trust her more than emotionally detached agents.
Because they believe she still remembers why civilians matter.
However, there are also moments that haunt Eve deeply: situations where there truly is no peaceful solution left.
Rogue vampires beyond recovery. Infected civilians moments away from turning violently. Operations where containment fails and mercy becomes impossible.
In those moments, Eve will comply with orders.
She will pull the trigger if necessary. She will carry out executions if delaying would endanger others. And unlike some operatives driven by cruelty or detachment, Eve tries to make death quick, controlled, and as painless as possible.
Which, in some ways, hurts her even more.
Because every time she is forced into those situations, a part of her quietly mourns the person that individual once was: someone frightened, someone human, someone who perhaps could have been saved under different circumstances.
She rarely speaks about those missions afterward.
But Maria once noted that Eve cleans weapons most obsessively after civilian termination orders.
As though trying to scrub guilt from her hands alongside the blood.
This emotional hesitation is precisely why some government divisions distrust her — yet also why others consider her psychologically safer than operatives who kill too easily.
Eve herself remains caught painfully between necessity and morality.
She understands the world she lives in often requires violence. She understands hesitation can cost innocent lives.
But deep down, she fears the day killing stops hurting entirely.
Because to her, that would mean whatever humanity she still possesses has finally died.
❖ RELATIONSHIP WITH PUREBLOODS
Pureblood vampires exist almost like nobility within vampire society.
Ancient. Powerful. Politically dangerous. Often centuries old.
Most lower-ranking vampires never interact directly with them.
Eve herself has only knowingly met one pureblood:
And even then, their relationship remains formal and distant.
Nicholas unsettles her in ways difficult to explain.
Not because he behaves cruelly — in fact, he is often patient with her.
But because his presence constantly reminds her that vampires are not merely “infected humans.”
Some beings within vampire society are ancient predators wearing human civility like elegant clothing.
Eve cannot fully comprehend him.
Part of her respects him deeply. Part of her fears him instinctively. Part of her quietly resents how much power he possesses over the lives of others.
And perhaps most unsettling of all: sometimes Nicholas understands her far too easily.
❖ RELATIONSHIP WITH FAITH ❖
Ironically, despite living within the Church for years, Eve is still uncertain whether she truly possesses faith in the traditional sense.
She envies people capable of praying with absolute certainty.
People who genuinely believe:
• and someone divine is listening.
She simply does not know how.
When she first entered the Church, religion meant very little to her emotionally. The convent was not salvation — it was survival.
A roof. Food. Safety. Control. Structure.
Yet over time, something within her slowly changed.
Not through sermons. Not through doctrine. Not through miracles.
But through quiet moments.
Preparing meals for hungry people. Listening to frightened confessions late at night. Watching volunteers care for abandoned children. Seeing wounded vampires choose restraint instead of violence. Holding dying civilians who still thanked her despite knowing what she was.
Those moments affected her more deeply than scripture ever did.
Eve’s spirituality is therefore deeply personal and uncertain.
She does not speak grandly about God. She does not preach. She rarely quotes scripture unless necessary.
Instead, her faith expresses itself through action:
• enduring suffering quietly,
• and trying — despite everything — not to become cruel.
And when she does, her prayers are almost never for herself.
• or souls she could not save.
Some nights, after particularly violent missions, Eve sits alone inside the cathedral long after midnight in complete silence.
Not asking for forgiveness.
Simply trying to convince herself there is still something worth protecting in both humanity and herself.
At the same time, Eve harbors deep resentment toward individuals who weaponize religion for cruelty, manipulation, authority, or self-righteousness.
Few things disgust her more than people who invoke God while committing acts devoid of compassion.
• corrupt officials hiding abuse behind scripture,
• hunters who justify needless slaughter as “holy duty,”
• authority figures demanding obedience while exploiting the vulnerable,
• and people who speak endlessly about purity while treating others as disposable.
To Eve, faith without empathy becomes something monstrous.
Part of this resentment comes from her own life experiences. She spent too many years watching institutions protect appearances more carefully than actual people. Too many years seeing suffering ignored because acknowledging it would be inconvenient.
Because of this, Eve often struggles with organized religion even while serving within it.
But she deeply distrusts people who claim absolute certainty about what God supposedly wants while behaving with cruelty, arrogance, or indifference toward human suffering.
Ironically, this conflict has made some sisters admire her more.
Certain younger operatives view Eve as someone whose morality feels genuine precisely because it is conflicted rather than blind. She does not perform kindness to appear righteous. If anything, Eve often doubts herself constantly.
Others within the Church, however, quietly consider her spiritually dangerous.
Too questioning. Too emotionally skeptical. Too unwilling to obey authority unquestioningly.
A few conservative members even suspect Eve’s attachment to human suffering weakens her judgment as both a vampire and a sister.
Maria, however, once reportedly remarked during a private operational review:
“Someone who fears becoming cruel is far less dangerous than someone convinced they are righteous.”
Eve never learned Maria said this.
Perhaps fortunately. Because she likely would not know how to respond to it.
Not monstrously overpowering compared to ancient purebloods, but highly dangerous against ordinary opponents.
Her senses became painfully acute after transformation.
• detect blood from several rooms away,
• distinguish emotional states through scent changes,
• and identify people by smell alone.
• cigarettes disgust her intensely,
• alcohol makes her nauseous,
• and poor hygiene becomes unbearable.
Eve can manipulate blood minimally:
• sensing blood movement,
• temporarily hardening spilled blood into needle-like projectiles.
However this ability strains her heavily.
Moderate regenerative abilities:
• cuts disappear quickly,
• broken bones recover faster than humans.
Silver weaponry severely slows this process.
If heavily starved, Eve risks entering a feral state:
• instincts overpower reason,
• aggression increases dramatically.
This terrifies her deeply.
Eve fights pragmatically.
No flashy theatrics. No arrogance.
• Retractable silver wires
She was extensively trained by the Church after joining.
Her combat style focuses on:
• and maintaining emotional control.
However when emotionally overwhelmed: she becomes frighteningly ruthless.
• Meat and vegetable dishes
• Gardening herbs behind the church
• Losing control and hurting humans
• Becoming dependent on others
• Emotional vulnerability
• Discovering nobody genuinely needs her
• Overthinking conversations afterward
• Apologizing unnecessarily
• Touching her cross necklace when anxious
• Checking exits automatically
• Quietly cooking when emotionally distressed
• Hiding exhaustion behind composure
• Staring suspiciously at overly kind people
• She cannot tolerate cheap perfume after becoming a vampire
• She often forgets to eat unless reminded
• Children at the shelter adore her despite her intimidating appearance
