A/N and Character Basics

Tell me, do you believe in monsters? Do you believe that if someone were to try hard enough that they could become one? Now, do you believe in heroes, the idiots who want to do everything in their power to save everyone? Would you be a hero if there were someone in need of help from a monster, or would you cower in fear while you watch helplessly as the one you wanted to save was ripped to shreds? This world we live in has fewer heroes than monsters, and the number is slowly but surely dwindling even further. There are even fewer people who walk with one hand dipped in the evils of the world, while the other is dipped in the foolish heroics of it.
