This is my gift... this is my curse...

[sub][s]French-Canadian[/s][/sub] [b]Description[/b]: A bare-boned [i]five-foot six[/i] shut-in with a very concerning range of interests, Lew wasn't always the gamer trash that he is today... Well, at least he wasn't always trash. Ever since he learned how to push buttons correctly, Lew had always been playing video games. There was one game in particular that caught the youth's attention more than others, however... A game that involved the catching and training of monstrous entities. An instinct had awakened in Lew's brain the moment he began partaking in such games. An instinct to collect, an instinct to obtain, an instinct to catch them all. With every new generation, he sought to collect every new monster he could find, filling his bestiary with more monsters. There was one particular monster that caught Lew's eyes during his teen years, one that would turn his hobby into an unhealthy obsession, and would stunt his development for the rest of his life... It was humanoid to a degree, but it also had an inhuman charm. Like a maiden in the moonlight, it looked as if it was wearing some sort of flowing white gown. To Lew, it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen... beautiful enough for him to ignore that the first one he caught happened to be a male. This discovery lead Lew down a dark path as he began to pursue a different form of media. As his prepubescent curiosity lead him to looking up dubious fan-art of this video game entity, Lew had found himself falling deeper into the rabbit hole, making a dread discovery: Monster girls of all shapes and species. Soon, he began to branch out to more forms of monster girl media, from JRPGs to light novels and even procuring a ridiculously long pillow. And still, somehow Lew had managed to live some sort of functional life. Despite his strange interest, Lew's social life was somewhat adequate, and even after he graduated and began to live on his own, he managed to find successful employment for himself. Despite living in a fantasy inside his head, Lew's intelligence was indeed nothing to scoff at... and yet, Lew still felt like he was missing [i]something[/i]. Soon, a new and ambitious VRMMO had been launched, one that drew Lew's attention. Lew had already delved into the strange world of virtual reality in the past, but all his experiences were off from what he was expecting. Every dating sim he had played in the past lacked that spark that truly made them feel alive... Lew was desperate for a true monster girl experience, and that desperation lead him to [i]Cacophony Concord[/i]. The promise of NPCs that felt alive and a whole world to explore was enough for Lew to be drawn in, making the decision of diving into a land where he'd find the most monstrous of creatures all in the name of monster romance. With a heart full of determination and a mind full of degeneracy, Lew made his dive forward... [/hider]
