Horror Universe

The Horror Universe is a Neqville based Alternate Universe, where familiar characters become generally darker and more twisted in both their story and character. The world is unique in that everything appears to the eyes as monochromatic, with the one exception being the colour of most inhabitant's insides - which is a vibrant red.
== Notable Differences ==
First and foremost, the inhabitants. Humans for example have different quirks considered vastly different from a normal, other world. People can get away with eating many things otherwise considered inedible and don't need a well rounded diet to have a healthy body. It seems that the need for vitamins escapes the people that live in the Horror Universe - a full belly of something considered properly digestible is all that is needed.
On the topic of food still, the taste of everything to a horror resident's tongue is entirely dependent on colour. As previously stated, everything in the world they live in is greyscale, which can only be describe as bland and tasteless. All preferences therefore land on the texture of foods instead. That is at least until a person discovers the taste of red. Sweet, addictive - it's difficult, nigh impossible to go back to greys afterward. Thus ensues a reason for violence that the high demand the addictive colour's taste brings fourth. Cannibalism brings no sickness and fills the stomach's requirements with the added euphoria of taste, that is why many have fallen into its enticing trap.
Earth's sun is considerably kinder in the Horror Universe, it rarely burns the skin of its many pale inhabitants.
== Seasonal "Holidays" ==
October is the most prominent and deadliest month in the Horror Universe. It's the month that hosted the day of Red Rain, an awakening for many of earth's inhabitants that hadn't before marveled in the sight of red or yet tasted it. Every year that wraps around a special craving befalls those living through the month, and it has become tradition to get at least one taste of red within the month no matter what it takes. In the kingdom of Neqville, no fresh meat should dare travel through the forest that surrounds it lest they wish half their organs to be eaten and the other half to be strung up on the trees as "festive" decoration.
Late December just prior the new year is a time for mourning. Families, friends and allies may choose to gather at this time to catch up and learn who has fallen and who is still alive. A lot of people don't mark the deaths of the people they knew until this time comes around, as it is generally only culturally appropriate in the Horror Universe to set tombstones and write epitaphs throughout the month of December.
Established kingdoms with enforced laws don't typically have murder set as illegal, except in the months of April and May. These two months are a grace period of sorts, a time where people come out of hiding, get work done and/or freely socialize. Take a life, and yours is legal - actually encouraged - to be taken too.
