Origin

Evening Horror is originally from a different planet. Her dad, Doc Horror, had developed a wormhole device that can create passageways to new worlds. This got the attention of a race of parasites known as The Crim. They wanted to use the device to take over many worlds, but Doc refused to help. He and his daughter, Eve, were imprisoned so that they could be leveraged by Crim liaison, Fane. Doc pretends to show Fane how the device works but instead opens a portal to Earth so that he and his daughter can escape. As a side effect of her journey through the passage, Eve found a few stray souls that bonded to her and were able to tell her secrets. They would help protect her when her father used the resources of a local crime family to create his own gang of do-gooders, The Nocturnals.

Major Story Arcs

Black Planet

Doc Horror was kidnapped by Antonio Zampa, the heir to Narn K, who wanted to wipe out The Nocturnals from messing with their operation. His team, including Eve, tracked him down to a Zampa safehouse and broke him out. It was easier thanks to Zampa being taken out by a former ally of the Nocturnals, Raccoon, who had dreams of becoming a gangster. He had killed Zampa to replace him in the criminal organization. While disposing of the body, Raccoon found a strange red octopus stuck under Zampa’s armpit. This information concerned Doc Horror, who believed the Crim had followed him to Earth.

To confirm his suspicions, he brought a few of his Nocturnals to the cemetery to dig up Zampa’s body. However, Gunwitch was assigned to watch over Don Zampa, who Doc still felt loyal to, in case the Crim came for him. Once confirmed, he told the story of his journey to Earth to his fellow Nocturnals, who all committed to taking the Crim out. Before they could plan their next move, Doc and Eve needed to see Don Zampa. Unfortunately, it was a trap set by Fane who bonded a Crim to Don Zampa. Gunwitch had already been hiding in the house and came to their rescue. They managed to free Don Zampa from the Crim and reveal Fane’s own Crim-like mutations. They were interrupted by a pair of detectives on a stakeout responding to the noise, so Doc and his family made their escape.

After that close call, Eve was instructed to stay home by her father. Instead, she convinced Komodo that Doc wanted the two of them to find a new way into the monster shop so they could free more of the test subjects. Unfortunately, they were caught by facility security in the tunnels underneath it and needed rescue. Ectoplasmic activity is disrupted near the facility, making the souls bonded to Eve useless. The Nocturnals, with Raccoon as their guide, teleported into the tunnels where Komodo and Eve were surrounded by Crims. They were able to kill the Crims thanks to the advanced ammunition Doc created, mixing it with his portal technology, sending chunks of the Crims back to their homeworld. Fane tried to run off with Eve, but Raccoon and Komodo managed to break all the hybrids out while the Crims were busy with the other Nocturnals. Together, they overwhelmed Fane, freeing Eve and ending the Crim’s world takeover.

The Dark Forever

Eve was excited to come home from her first year at boarding school for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, her father was too preoccupied with an archeological find under the Tomb. He uncovered a mysterious door to a city of ancient architecture, but his team got worried when the door shut and sealed behind him. The magic of the door affected Poly, which caused an ectoplasmic explosion, trapping Eve and Gunwitch on the wrong side of the door.

Eve and Gunny explored further, eventually finding Poly being cared for by the ghosts of fish-people. Soon after, they were reunited with Doc, who was accompanied by very alive fish-people, called Skerrl, as well as a young girl who had been trapped for 70 years, kept young but mutated by the Skerrl. While the girl told her story, the ghosts of the fish-people told Eve that she allied with the Skerrl and sicced them on her own parents. When Eve called her out, she had the Skerrl attack the Nocturnals, who narrowly escaped using a portal.

They teleported to the beach where Starfish, Raccoon, and Firelion were investigating zombies. Poly had absorbed the spirits that powered Skerrl magic and released them to the afterlife, however, it was too late. The Skerrl had already summoned a leviathan from the ocean floor. The Nocturnals were ready to run, but Star was able to command the leviathan as the last of the original fish-people. She sent it back to the ocean depths.
