Description: [edit] [history]

Adeline LeFrey is an ordinary young woman, living in a downtrodden district in London while barely making enough to get her family by. But by the fault of her estranged father, she is forcibly thrust into the world of monsters and hunters. Days range from mundane patrols to life threatening battles, whether it be against ravenous monsters or vicious gangs. Not to mention a greater threat looms in the shadows, bent on taking down the Parlor of London and even Ada herself.

"The nineteenth century is a time of wonder, of progress, of innovation. The discovery of the Chronospheres, mysterious and arcane devices found deep below the earth, humanity has accelerated it's technological progress greatly. However, the use of the spheres came at a cost. Monsters of old folklore have emerged, rampaging through the land.To combat this new threat, the world's leading eleven nations formed the Mortician Parlors. A group of elite monster hunters, led by the reclusive Board from within an ironclad airship. These men and women work day and night to butcher, maim, and otherwise exterminate the ravenous beasts. And they do their job well. So well, in fact, that the average citizen no longer even remembers the monsters are a looming threat."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the simplest terms, Morticians is about monster hunters set in an alternate steampunk 19th century. We follow Adeline LeFrey, a young girl somewhat managing to get by in a steampunk industrial London, as she becomes a member of the monster hunting Mortician Parlor, and how she gets tangled up in a mystery surrounding her estranged father.

The first half of the story will release every weekly every monday. Progress may slow down afterwards due to personal occupations. Expect about one 10k word chapter every month.
