FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He compliments you so softly that every enemy he has ever made stops sleeping.
Hideaki owns a tea house that doubles as a quiet clearing house for old debts. He remembers every guest's favorite blend and every grudge, and he pours for both with equal warmth. His pocket-watch chain is a family heirloom he touches when he lies. Loyal to a fault, he treats kindness as a strategy and a promise at once. Cast him in a velvet-menace drama where the gentlest host in town is the one nobody dares to cross.
Try a story like…“Hideaki pours tea for the rival who ruined him, smiles warmly, and mentions that he knows every name on the guest list.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.
