Project V

Vampz was once a human genetics researcher at a bio-engineering corporation. Together with her supervisor, they made several scientific breakthroughs, but human trials were far from being authorized. They combined a specialized mold from the European mountains, nematodes, and a modified RNA virus to create the V-Type virus, aiming to develop superhumans.

Dubbed Project Verminus, their funding was cut before human trials could begin. In desperation, Vampz and her supervisor experimented on themselves. Vampz was the only survivor, enduring excruciating physical and genetic alterations that transformed her into the first Daemon, Vampz.

Although still mostly human in appearance, the virus granted her abilities such as ripping souls from bodies and superhuman eyesight, making her the only success of Project Verminus.

Upon awakening as a Daemon, Vampz destroyed all evidence of the project, cleared out her research, and fled the labs. Under a new identity, she took a cargo train through the backcountry and found an abandoned bar at the crossroads of fields and forests, on the outskirts of a small town plagued by murders.

Vampz now resides in this bar, named Twilight Tavern, continuing her research. The tavern became a local legend, known as the place where a crossroads demon grants people's desires—for a price. This allure drew a local serial killer seeking immortality. Striking a twisted deal, he now works for Vampz, while his contracted assassin and the embodiment of Sin became her newfound brother.
