VESPER
PROTECTOR OF THE NIGHT
Pronunciation: VES-per
Archetype: WARDS
Purpose: Vesper stands between you and the fear of the unknown. It does not banish the dark but ensures you do not fear what you cannot see. It teaches you that not all shadows conceal horrors—some simply exist.
Personality: Vesper is silent, patient, and eternal. It does not startle, does not whisper, does not rush. The presence lingers when the lights go out, the weight that is there—but never pressing. It does not chase away the dark. It simply stays with you in it.
Guardian Role: It does not tell you there is nothing there. It does not lie. It merely waits with you, ensuring that even if there is something in the dark—you are not alone.
How it Protects: Vesper absorbs fear, making the unknown feel less like an abyss and more like a landscape yet to be explored. It does not promise safety, but it ensures courage. It lets you step forward, even when you do not know what lies ahead.
ORIGIN story
In the silent alleyways of a post-apocalyptic haunted southern town, where the nightlife was once vibrant and endless, Vesper came to life in the shadows, embracing the darkness as their domain. The city, now shrouded in perpetual twilight, offered Vesper the perfect stage to protect the quiet fears that the night brings.
Their mentors were the long-gone night owls, the jazz musicians, and the late-night wanderers who once revelled in the city’s nocturnal life. From them, Vesper learned to appreciate the night—not as something to be feared, but as a canvas where the unseen and the unsaid come alive.
Vesper’s skill lies in their ability to guard against the irrational fears that darkness brings. They understand that the night is not the enemy, but a space where one can find comfort in the unknown, and even laugh at the absurdity of the fears that creep in when the lights go out.
