Goddit.

Narrator:
-Sane sober straightedge tightass. No chads, staceys, gunbros or action girls.
-must lu/r9k/ , few meaningful human associatiins and affections.
-poor middle class intellectual preferred; no blue collars pls.
-asexual unromantic passionless amoebacel
-must at bottom have no spunk or spine, no possibility of blazeofglory fuckyouing
-unravels into a string of verbing adjectives at crisis, no flash of genius, no picture taking, sample grabbing, runlikefuck survival instinct, nothing
-smart enough to understand the hieroglyphics of a whole other species at spacefaring levels of advancement in one afternoon

Nemesis:
-old, unknown, powerful, forgotten
-referenced only by mad, unknown, menacing, mysterious, forgotten sources
-has a cult but no one knows the rules
-has an influence seeping and eating through civilisation and humanity like a wet diaper
-YUGE, oh my fuck YUGE
-Disguating and unnerving. No pixies, eldarin, Olympians allowed.
-Low violence, high dread

Setting:
-quiet, secluded, no chance of public or civic interference; England preferred, even if Utah and Maine are equally good
-there is no god, only tentacle
-all human metaphysics are cope
-larpy scientifism
