A gremlin, but like, a tall one?

<span style="text-decoration:underline;">Yeah, this is far from done... </span> It’s a living. Well, so is every job, but that’s what you keep telling yourself. You’re wondering if the starving have not found true peace and happiness within this world. Aside from the rich fuck you work for. Welcome to the Nexum. It’s Latin: Stands for “debt contract”, which is in itself just a fancier term for contractual enslavement. But hey, who are you to blame? <strong>You</strong>fucked up. Well then, lovelies, to business: The Queen’s leaped straight of her rocker and chopped the head of her own baby so that she could join some backwards death cult called the Benevolence. Apparently we’re looking at this whole gods thing all wrong or something, I’m not sure what they want; nobody’s bothered to explain it to me and I don’t care enough to ask. If you ask me they’re either deluded or hilarious, but either way the kid-killers are eyeing the kingdom with a look most unkind. 1 <em>(Stop the cult)</em> Since they’re chopping heads they should not be chopping – because gods know no plebeians would’ve garnered this reaction – we’ve been tasked to put a stop to it. Kill the Queen, retrieve the Queen: Whatever you feel like, just make it stop. 2 <em>(Assist the cult)</em> Now, this is where I normally would’ve expected something like “save the kingdom, redeem yourselves, piss off”, but apparently our contractual obligations lie not with the governance of the kingdom but the Queen herself, and therefore her new cult-master. It seems we’re of the legion now, however distasteful one may find them; I suppose it matters little to you. Point is, we’re tasked with going to the kingdom and ruining it a bit in preparation for the real heavy-hitters among them. Us. I don’t know. Anyways, our most gracious master has decided that, since none of you seem to be very keen on decapitation, they’d allow you all redemption. If you so happen to die during our little adventure, your souls will no longer be eternally damned, provided that the shit the de-cocked virgins back home say is (not) true. But if you survive? You’re free to waste the rest of your devalued life however you see fit. <strong>***</strong> Basically, the Nexum (or the Nexi) are a league of former convicts or otherwise damned people who have been subjected to magically binding contracts of servitude. There aren’t any roles, but the binding rule for all characters is that they’re perceived to be “unholy” or “abominations”. That doesn’t mean they cannot be truly good people, but you can’t convince me that a beautiful, kind-hearted D-cupped anime catgirl is treated with such contempt that the people around her actually consider her worthy of eternal damnation. They have to look, act, or be terrible enough to warrant such hatred. A few examples of things considered damned: </p>
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>Murderers or convicts of other serious crimes </li>
<li>Practitioners of dark magic </li>
<li>Anyone terribly deformed or with a monstrous appearance </li>
</ol><p> There’s also a neighbouring country, with a similar yet opposing religious order. Being from there doesn’t automatically constitute being a monster, but it helps (harms?)
