Cast of Characters/Important People

  • Rhage: Rhage is considered to be the most attractive of all the Brothers. His beauty has earned him the nickname 'Hollywood'. Rhage was cursed in the early eighteen hundreds for angering The Scribe Virgin. Due to his continued recklessness and uncontrollable lust after his transition, The Scribe Virgin gave him The Beast. Fearsome in its beauty the Beast resembles a huge dragon with massive claws and a jaw filled with sharp fangs. It was a punishment designed to regulate Rhage's energy and moods. Whenever he gets out of control, the Beast comes out. When this occurs Rhage's eyes turn a brilliant white and his body mutates in a grisly display of tearing and ruptures - letting the Beast emerge. When it is out, Rhage is totally suppressed and he is in no way able to control the Beast, who knows neither friend nor foe. Because of this, Rhage has to keep the Beast from coming out, subduing it through the satiation of a good fight or sex.
  • Mary: A human female to whom Rhage is inexplicably drawn
