The Magnificent Agent M and her Compression Suit (Patreon)

This lovely lady was both the victim and beneficiary of a family curse. Her tiny hamlet is in a valley where five ley lines intersect into a perfect pentagram. This intersection separates them from much of the world and means the region is teeming with otherworldly entities. These creatures are, at best, predatory and, at worst, utterly demonic. Two bloodlines vied for power within that region for centuries. One tried to contain and restrict the entities; the other tried to control and manipulate them. At the peak of their conflict, unable to curse each other, they cursed each other's bloodlines. The first sorcerer cursed his enemy's children to be forever "life sinks" for his family. His children would grow stronger and stronger while his enemy's children would wither into crippled wisps. However, the other sorcerer managed to tack a little caveat onto the curse. The stronger children would be bound to serve the withered ones, unable to disobey or escape their commands. Ultimately, the sorcerer who wished to restrict instead of manipulate the demons won at a significant cost. Both bloodlines serve his goal, but the two are always bound together. One crippled, one a servant to the other.

This is how we have the Scarlet Skull and Agent M. The Scarlet Skull uses a wheelchair daily and requires constant care; however, at night, he can summon all the magical energy of his bloodline and leave his body as a gentleman wraith. Agent M is his lifetime servant, a being of inhuman strength and durability bound in a butler uniform. Together, they fight supernatural entities of immense power inside and outside their village's eternal seal.

This dyad has continued for generations, but for the first time, Agent M is a woman. The new Scarlet Skull was born outside his ancestral home and doesn't believe in any of the aristocratic nonsense his ancestors were a part of. They still fight the supernatural, but their ultimate goal is to find a way to break their family's curses.

Though he hates his withering and does not want to control anyone, the Scarlet Skull secretly loves the massive body Agent M is so ashamed of and intent on hiding and containing.

This is where the good Doctor comes in...I don't specialize in curses, but you'd be amazed at what you can do with a bit of mad science!
