Description
I'm taking a break from a few other things to get the Ten-Ghost sequel in order. I'm doing character sketches to work some plot elements out. As before, the milieu is Aesca, the world being a sort of an overt fantasy raygun gothic with tribal and heavily animistic overtones.

This is The Adjuster, a demon concerned with the jungle and the landscape; it's her job to reclaim abandoned buildings, towns, and technologies for the land.

During a town-sing or town-making ceremony, shamans and singers pace around the area to be claimed, while monsters attack them. Defenders both try to keep monsters inside the boundary to be while protecting the singers; if the shamans finish their circuit, the monsters inside the boundary turn into domesticated animals, and the rest rush into the jungle to become the things in the night just outside the town walls. When a town is fading back to the jungle, though, the domesticated animals lapse into their feral natures as food becomes scarce.

The Adjuster is the final blow, arriving in town as the last people die, extracting permission from the last human to reclaim the town, and the jungle bursts through the walls and devours the buildings and skeletons, using a waiting list of displaced forests, plains, and deserts seeking new homes to proclaim what the coming environment will be.

Also shown is the zeerust/streamline moderne inspired media player she's always listening to.
