Ghoul Children

**Ghoul Children** were artificial humans created by Pale Noël. Based upon the method engineered by the god Levia, they were created as part of Pale's experiments with Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome. Many became infamous and despised in the Magic Kingdom Levianta.

## History

### Early History

Sometime around the BT 020s, Pale Noël cloned his cells and developed them based on Levia Barisol's methods, creating the first ghoul children: Meta Salmhofer, and a second one that came out an empty shell and was kept in cold storage for safekeeping. Meta later came to lead the criminal organization Apocalypse and led numerous insurrections across the Magic Kingdom Levianta.

### Succeeding Models

After determining the cloning method nonviable, Pale developed another type of ghoul child, producing Seth Twiright. Afterward, Pale continued the creation of ghoul children through seeds of malice implantation; as the ghoul children caused havoc in the succeeding years, the mass outbreak of HERs became a growing concern within the Magic Kingdom. In BT 004, the twelfth ghoul child, Irina Clockworker was successfully born.

In BT 002, Seth joined Meta in Apocalypse and the two entered a relationship, becoming even more infamous in the Magic Kingdom. Around a year later, Setg was accepted as the test subject for the second Project 'Ma'. At the same time, Meta Salmhofer was captured and Pale transferred her soul into the soulless ghoul child kept in storage to cure an aging defect in her original body.

Presided over by Pale, Seth's DNA was extracted and mixed with a seed of malice, producing Hänsel and Gretel on December 27, EC 0. With the aid of Meta and the remnants of Apocalypse, Seth fled with the twins shortly after; in response, Pale reset Meta's personality and made her a new identity as Meta Clockworker, with Irina instated as her little sister sometime later. Seth was later killed by Adam Moonlit in EC 001 after the wizard abducted his twins, raising them with his wife Eve. As the years progressed, future Ma experiments faced continual failure. Meanwhile, Meta became a clockworker artisan for the Clockworker Family.

At some point, Milky Eights had allegedly sired a child with Meta. In EC 013, Irina was selected for the seventh Project 'Ma' experiment. Soon after, Meta activated the Black Box within the ark Sin and freed the gods Behemo and Levia; in the resulting destruction by the dragon Levia-Behemo, virtually all ghoul children were wiped out. Afterward, Pale transferred the critically injured Irina's soul into a red stuffed cat.

In EC 014, Hänsel and Gretel were killed by their foster parents and split Adam's Original Sin to create the Vessels of Sin, spread by the couple across the world. Meanwhile, as one of the few survivors of the Catastrophe, Meta eventually traveled to Angolmois to observe the progress of the world and atone for her actions.

### Ghoulish Legacy

At some point, five ghoul children babies were frozen in Freezis pods and stored in a facility deep below Castle Hedgehog in Marlon. Following an earthquake during the latter half of the fifth century EC, one baby awoke and escaped. "Keel Freezis" later married Mikina Sfarz in EC 491 and sired children, growing his business into a massive conglomerate over the years. After being hit on the head by Irina Clockworker in EC 505, Keel suffered lasting injuries and retired before dying. On January 30, EC 611, under the influence of Levia, the Zorach Family shut down the remaining active Freezises, killing the four ghoul children under their care.

## Biology and Appearance

Apart from their artificial nature, ghoul children were physically identical to humans and were able to sexually reproduce with them. A result of cloning, the first ghoul children were identical to Pale Noël, sharing his exact same appearance, intellect, and deficiencies such as poor eyesight; they also were some of the few capable of using Black Box Type L as a result of having Pale's DNA. They also naturally shared his genetic condition, Hereditary Evil Raiser Syndrome. Later ghoul children were made into HERs through the implantation of seeds of malice into their developing cells.

Despite this, ghoul children's dispositions varied greatly as a result of Pale's experimentation. Many possessed immense magical potential and could become powerful mages, with Seth in particular created to be an Inheritor of Gilles. At least some ghoul children matured at a far faster rate than regular humans, though as a result they rapidly aged after adulthood; such ghoul children were created with differing solutions to the problem, such as Meta Salmhofer absorbing others' magical power to stay young.

Pale's experiments also led to ghoul children having varying personalities and memories upon creation. While some were made "preset" with false memories and presumably a personality to accompany them, others were made "clean", being blank slates to begin with. Those that were outright copies of Pale were made having all of his memories upon creation.
