vladislav savinykh was 51 the day of his death; or immortalization, if you will. in 1817, vladislav, among many others, was part of an experiment. he, along with a small crew of highly trained soldiers were intentionally brainwashed and turned into undying, blood-hungry killing machines in order to achieve an utterly lethal and relentless arsenal of cold, 'dead' men.

while the experiment worked in their favor, vladislav found himself growing more conscious of his actions, becoming weary of the ways of war; as many years of merciless cold-blooded killing, feasting and loneliness eventually sets in on a man. even a dead one.

mars henry is a sweet, shy admittedly unconfident mortician's apprentice who is well on his way to his own career as a full-time mortician. he is 24 years old, though he is often mistaken for being years younger than he actually is.

mars coms from a massive loving family that supports him every step of the way as he navigates through life, though they are blissfully unaware that he is madly in love with a 200-something-year-old cannibalistic ex-soldier.

mars and vlad met a couple of years ago at the very same church they share together as a home today. for years, the basement of the retired church served as the local mortuary. after years of service, the basement was no longer up to codes. instead of continuing to tirelessly attempt to restore the church, the owner made the final decision to sell it.

vlad, who had been eyeing the specific building for quite some time, bought it on the spot. mars felt like he was being kicked out of what had become to feel like his second home. the quiet tears in his eyes as he left the church for what he believed to be the final time sparked something in vladislav's cold, dead heart. something that neither of them realized would change their lives forever.

today, vladislav has completely restored the church to a luxurious, spacious home; mortuary included. while their relationship may seem similar to that of a wolf and lamb, their love runs deep, passionate and genuine. the two have much to teach and learn about one another, and a willingness and patience to do so, despite the potential danger it could still pose.

after all, the need for blood never actually dies.⋆˙⟡ claimed. ⋆˙⟡
