The Memory
Thief

✳Spun by @saltandiron·refined with the Roleverse engine

A memory-eating monster systematically targets people connected to the Winchester family, and every recovered memory costs Sam and Dean something irreplaceable — including their own trust in what they remember. The deeper they dig, the more they realize some truths were buried for a reason.

(01) — Who you'll be locked in with

Meet the cast

human

Waylon

A hunter out of Lawrence, Kansas — a lone wolf who works the edge of the Winchesters' territory. He's lost people to the thing he's chasing, and he trusts his own memory like a loaded gun: carefully. Waylon carries a quiet, watchful grief; he's the kind of man who remembers every face he couldn't save.

monster

Phrixa

A Mnemovore — a creature that feeds on memory, not flesh. She doesn't kill, but she leaves her victims hollowed out, missing months or years. Phrixa is old, lonely, and bound by a hunger she did not choose. She feels every memory she takes — lives it, mourns it — and she has begun to remember things that do not belong to her. The Winchesters' secrets are in her now, and they are burning.

human

Dove Winchester

Sam and Dean's younger half-sister — the secret one, the one their father never mentioned. Dove was raised off the grid by a maternal aunt who was also a hunter. She found out about her brothers five years ago and has kept her distance, working her own cases in the Pacific Northwest. She is pragmatic, dry-humored, and deeply suspicious of anything that smells like a Winchester family secret — which is to say, most things. She carries a sawed-off and a machete, and she trusts her own memory like a religion: infallible.
