[hr][h1]Non-Player Characters[/h1]
These are the NPCs controlled by the co-GM and I. Their character sheets only contain information that the player characters currently know, and more will be revealed as the story progresses.

[hider=NPCs allied with the player characters]
[hider=Lilith, the entity that granted the player characters their powers and sent them to New Atlantis]
[b]Name[/b]: Lilith, Bride of the Abyss.

[b]Age[/b]: Unknown, but physically appears 18.

[b]Gender[/b]: Female.

[b]Appearance[/b]: Though Lilith appears human, her every bodily feature seems intentionally constructed in accordance with modern human ideals, such that her overall appearance is unnaturally, inhumanly beautiful by most people's standards. Her facial features are halfway between Caucasian and eastern Asian, delicate and lovely like those of a girl who has reached adulthood not long ago, yet the facial expressions, along with her crimson lipstick, convey the smooth confidence and allure of a woman with far more maturity and wisdom. Her soft fair skin is utterly flawless and blemish-free, as if straight out of a digitally-edited photo. At 165 cm in height, her geometrically perfect hourglass figure is something one usually only sees in drawings, an ideal that many a glamor model chases in vain, though there is the scant comfort that her relatively moderate bust and hips do not have pornographically exaggerated proportions. Straight, glossy midnight black hair flows down to the middle of her back like a dark waterfall, though there is a single strand of hair that sticks out at the top of her head. Her most notable features are her eyes, however. They are a deep, vivid hue of purplish red, faintly glowing, yet seemingly lacking a normal person's metaphorical light of focus and awareness. Instead they are deep and empty like the bottomless abyss, sucking in the gaze of someone who meets her eyes, looking not at him but through him, toward the very root of his being and beyond.

Lilith's usual attire is a highly revealing dress made of an unknown black material, possessing the texture and sheen of something somewhere between velvet, satin, and latex. It clings to her figure tightly, yet is impossibly flexible, stretching like rubber and flowing like liquid without hindering her movements in the slightest. It has a shoulderless halterneck top that exposes most of her back above the waist, with a plunging V-neck that shows off a generous amount of cleavage, and a gratuitous diamond-shaped opening around her navel. The bottom is a miniskirt that barely reaches the middle of her thighs, with a high slit at each side. Her left leg is wrapped in a single sheer lacy black thigh-high stocking, and her right arm in a matching single opera glove, while the other arm and leg are left bare; the glove is fingerless and the stocking toeless, displaying the ruby-red nail polish on both hands and feet. The feet are clad in elegant, strappy black three-inch stiletto heels. A black choker adorns her neck, while her left ring finger wears a gleaming platinum ring with a brilliant golden gemstone.

Contrary to what some may expect, Lilith's voice is actually rather high-pitched, though the seduction of its smooth silken caress easily rivals that of a more traditional low husky voice. At close enough proximity, a faint perfume can be smelled, the scent a sensual blend of rose, honey, and exotic spices.

[b]Personality[/b]: Based on the player characters' limited initial observations of her, Lilith effortlessly projects an air of utmost confidence and composure, without the slightest hint of reservation, shame, or doubt; whether this is her true nature or a carefully crafted facade remains to be seen. Her seemingly vacant and glassy eyes may make some suspect that she is but a mindless puppet controlled by something else altogether, but such a possibility seems hardly compatible with the overwhelming, unshakeable sense of self that her mannerisms and actions display.

[b]Backstory[/b]: Lilith is the mysterious entity that granted the player characters their powers and sent them to New Atlantis. Her nature, origin, and true intentions are all unknown. But since she stated that she will be keeping an eye on the player characters closely, encountering her again in the future is very likely.

[b]Skills[/b]: Lilith is something that exudes magic from every pore of her being, so non-magical skills may not even be a relevant concept when it comes to her.

[b]Abilities[/b]:

[i]Movement[/i]: Lilith seems capable of blatantly ignoring gravity whenever she pleases. When she isn't casually swaggering and slouching in midair, she glides through it at will without any visible form of locomotion, her slender limbs just there for show as they accompany the flight with elegant decorative flourishes. Even when on the ground, all of Lilith's movements are impossibly graceful and fluid, as if she has decades upon decades of experience as a dancer, gymnast, and martial artist. Given the casual ease with which she does all of this, there has to be a considerable amount of magic involved, and likely a considerable amount of skill as well.

[i]Aura of Temptation[/i]: Surrounding Lilith is an aura of velvety darkness, black as midnight, swirling with mesmerising shades of sanguine and rose. Given her appearance and mannerisms, one may assume that Lilith is something like a succubus, but this aura does not force others to become sexually aroused or attracted to her; it doesn't even try to forcibly alter the target's mind in any way. It is simply a natural manifestation of her magic detectable by one's sixth sense, magic associated with the left-hand path of hedonism, indulgence, and self-gratification. The temptation that one feels from this magic is the temptation inherent in the power that she offers, the forbidden fruit of the Abyss that can satisfy all of one's desires, but can also lead one astray toward ruin. Whether one can ascend to become a dark god like Lilith, or be reduced to a crude animalistic thing like those monsters shambling about New Atlantis, will depend on the strength of one's heart and will.

[i]Magic Bestowal[/i]: Through unknown means, Lilith was able to grant magical powers to the player characters. However, she mentioned that their potential was valuable to her, implying that not simply anyone would do for her purposes.

[i]Space Manipulation[/i]: Lilith was able to appear before each player character without warning, and send him to New Atlantis, regardless of where on Earth the character was previously located.
