This story will be free from start to finish.

DEMO (TBA)

Jack Frost [M]

The most recent addition to The Guardians before you came along. Jack Frost is known far and wide for his laid back disposition, and his tendency to have as much fun as he can, but when push comes to shove he’d do anything to protect the people he cares for.

Appearance: Jack stands at around 6’0” with glacier blue eyes and snow white hair. His fair skin stands out against the blue hoodie that he’s commonly seen in; his trusty staff never far from his person. He always has a playful smile curling his lips. (He has a lithe physique.)

Nicholas Claus [M]

An intimidating man by all appearance, Nicholas is definitely a man that you’d assume would sooner use his fists than talk. However, he’s an overgrown puppy that absolutely adores to help people whenever he can. Just don’t get him angry— or be on his naughty list— and everything will be okay.

Appearance: Nicholas stands at around 7’2” with piercing green eyes and dark auburn hair. His tanned skin is accentuated by the various tattoos easily noticeable across his body. The hulking mass of his body hidden behind simple shirts and pants with his trusty black boots to finish the look.

Toothiana [F]

A gentle entity, Toothiana— or simply Tooth— is a sporadic woman by nature, always shifting around, but she’s always dependable whenever you need her. With an open fascination with well looked after teeth— something you’ll have to get used to— Tooth makes sure you know that you can always count on her; even if she gets distracted easily.

Appearance: Tooth stands at around 5’2” when she isn’t hovering around. Her naturally dark brown hair, when she’s shifted from her scaled appearance, falls to the middle of her back. Bronze skin causing her golden-emerald eyes to stand out that much more.

Seraphina [F]

One of your closest advisors, and friends, Seraphina makes your job that much easier whenever Valentine’s Day rolls around. Her attention to detail and quick wit making everything much smoother. Even if she’s a little rough around the edges, mainly when it comes to other people, you couldn’t imagine having anyone else by your side.

Appearance: Seraphina stands at around 5’6” with dark brown eyes and onyx black hair. Medium brown skin being accentuated by the pearly white apparel that’s common among the individuals within your employ. Her slender, almost delicate, body hiding a hidden strength.

Pitch Black [M/F]

One of the greatest nightmare the world had never seen; The Boogeyman in the flesh. Pitch Black had been nothing but a whispered rumor for years before their return. You don’t know what caused their disassociation with The Man in the Moon, but it’s clearly left a permanent scar. Will you be able to show the embodiment of darkness that love isn’t impossible for them?

Appearance: Pitch stands at around 6’2” with sapphire blue eyes, with specks of gold, and raven black hair. Pallid skin, that almost has a grey hue to it, stands out against the dark clothes— and the shadows— that they’re commonly seen in. Their lithe body has a muscular quality to it.

Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer.

That’s the spiel you had been told on the eve of your sixteenth birthday; a day where your biggest worry should have been if you were going to get the car you wanted. You shouldn’t have dealt with the fact, and the dawning horror, that you were chosen to be the one to fight the coming waves of evil.

You didn’t want to believe it— hadn’t believed it to be true— and for the next two years everything was fine. There was an odd occurrence every now and then, but nothing that couldn’t be easily explained away by simple logic.

That is until you move to a new town— a town with a reputation for death— and everything starts to become a little too real. Your nightmares becoming a reality…

Will you be able to stop the incoming darkness? Or were you destined to die like all the Chosen One’s before you?

Demo Features

The MC is Gender Locked Female.

This story is inspired by the show Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and will be free from start to finish.

Will you be prepared for the great evil that seems to be lurking behind every corner? Or will you end up perishing too?

Will you be able to pass your classes while fighting the forces of evil at night? Will you even remember where they are?

Romance 1 of 6 options that will make your destiny that much easier to bear. Or that much harder…

Remember to have fun and enjoy yourself!

This story is rated Mature (18+) for depictions of violence, blood, gore, mentions of torture, profanity, sexual themes, underage alcohol consumption, and various other things that will crop up as the story continues.

NSFW asks will be tagged #nsfw for anyone that may wish to avoid them.

Anastasia

The Slayer that came before you. An individual that doesn’t back down from a fight and has a spirit has fiery at the pits of hell. She doesn’t know when to quit and refuses to back down from a fight when it concerns the people she cares for. The only problem? She was supposed to be dead.

Appearance: Anastasia stands at around 6’0” with electric blue eyes and raven black hair. Her lightly tanned skin stands out against the usual black leather that she wears. Her athletic body honed from years of training/fighting. (Her hair falls to just over her shoulder blades in soft waves.)

Oliver

One of the first people that you meet upon your entrance to Solaris High School. With a goofy demeanor, laid back attitude, and penchant to shove his own foot in his mouth, Oliver is definitely an oddball but you couldn’t imagine life without him. Not when he’s so clearly adamant about helping you. No matter what.

Appearance: Oliver stands at around 5’8” with dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. Light brown skin causes the gold flecks within his gaze to stand out. He’s usually seen within a graphic tee, almost drowning his slender body, of some kind and his trusty bag thrown over his shoulder.

Quinn

The first person that you meet within Solaris High that actually seems to be a genuine individual. Quinn doesn’t speak much, and she’s absolutely shy, but her intelligence shines through and her genuine wish to help you. Maybe it’s because of Oliver taking a liking to you, but you weren’t about to complain about having her help.

Appearance: Quinn stands at around 5’3” with dark green eyes and dark auburn hair. Her bronze skin causes the contrast of her eyes and hair to stand out that much more. She has a slender, almost delicate , body the usually hides beneath layers of clothing. (She keeps her hair to just under her shoulders.)

Noah/Nora

The one to watch out for within the halls of Solaris High. One word from their lips can either mean life or death for a person’s social standing. With an arrogant smile, haughty attitude, and complete lack of social awareness when it comes to their bluntness, you don’t know why you feel drawn to them, but you’re going to figure it out. Maybe even discovering something more along the way…

Appearance: They stand at around 5’11” with hazel eyes and light brown, almost golden brown, hair. Bronze skin standing out against the expensive brands that they tend to wear. You can’t look anything except your best after all. (Noah keeps his hair short and Nora keeps her hair to just over her shoulders.)

Cassius/Celeste

The mysterious stranger that you swear you’ve met before, but can’t quite place. Though you feel like you’d remember someone with their soft spoken demeanor and tendency to sink back into the shadows at a whim. You’re not sure why, but seeing them again brings a memory to the surface of your mind but it’s too far for you to grasp. Will you be able to discover what the stranger means to you? And what they’re hiding?

Appearance: They stand at around 6’3” with steel gray eyes and onyx black hair. Their olive toned skin has turned pallid, but you can’t truly understand why. They have an athletic build but not one that you’d consider bulky. (Cassius keeps his hair just above his ears and Celeste keeps her to her shoulder blades.)

Lucian/Lucia

Where C is soft spoken and mainly keeps to themself, L is anything else. They made it known, when entering Solaris, what they were and that it was you they were after— even if you weren’t exactly sure if they wanted to kill you or not. With a brazen attitude, tendency to flirt no matter the moment, and general suaveness, they were certainly one you couldn’t miss.

Appearance: They stand at around 6’5” with ice blue eyes and golden white hair. Pale skin standing out against the dark colors they tend to favor; really living up to the vampire stereotype. They have a lithe build that has power strewn across it. (Lucian keeps his short and Lucia keeps hers to the middle of her back.)

isa has been your best friend for over a decade, despite your lack of communication. recently they've decided to move in with you, which you can't decide is a good or bad thing. your relationship has been bordering between friendship and something a little more romantic since you graduated high school. though, it's hard to tell what isa means when all they do is flirt with you.

♡┊Ezekiel Wilson [M]

ezekiel is the competition's advisor—in fact, he's the reason for it to begin with. from what you've heard about him, he's a blunt, easily annoyed jerk. however, you can't always believe what the internet says. since the first time you met, ezekiel has been nothing but sweet to you. he seems like the total opposite of what everyone says.

♡┊Kara/Kade Hyun [F/M]

k, the brains behind the amorist website. they also happen to be one of your closest friends—which thank god, because you don't even want to think about how terrible you site would've been. when you first met them, you'll be honest, you thought k was a major jerk. turns out you couldn't have been more wrong, they're probably the nicest person in the world. and you have a lot to thank them for, especially after they agreed to date you—fake date you.

♡┊Sabrina Gray [F]

for as long as you can remember, sabrina has one-upped you in almost every activity you've expressed interest in. the most recent one being advice giving—specifically love related. well, she hasn't one-upped you, yet. you two have the same amount of followers, which is why she just so happens to be your competitor. maybe being forced to officially compete with her will give you the chance to figure out why she insists on being better than you.

Synopsis:

Lumintoile Academia is a prep school in the city of Delphinium that screams prestigiousness and elitism among its students. You happen to be a student there in your final year of Highschool, and trying to graduate with the cleanest slate you can ever manage. Well, too bad that’s thrown out of the window after meeting the Student Council. Hello, to your future in juvenile detention!

How fun.

Somehow, you’re now dragged into this weird mess straight out of a fantasy novel. Magic? Monsters? Spirits? Fae? Demons? The Council has to be joking. No way are those things real, right? Because if not, then why on earth are seeing flowers bloom when the Vice President is around? A cool breeze passing by whenever the Secretary waves at you? Windows shimmering whenever the Treasurer walks by them? Dogs following and randomly appearing wherever and whenever the President is?

This all has to be a coincidence, right?

With noises coming from empty classrooms and staff members found somewhere they shouldn't, how can you not be suspiscious about everything?

Cheers to The Elites is an urban fantasy, mystery, thriller, supernatural, slice of life IF that will be written in Twine. The story takes place in the fictional country of Rosedale in the modern age, and is rated 18+ for heavy topics such as: abuse (emotional, psychological, implied physical), violence, blood, graphic gore (specifically plant gore, mutilation, & dismemberment), mentions & use of alcohol, mentions of death, body horror, self-harm & self-destructive tendencies, mentions & attempts of suicide, unhealthy coping mechanisms

Features:

•Customizable MC—appearance, sexuality, pronouns, and all that jazz!

•Learn magic? Maybe? If the Vice President allows it?

•Find out the secrets the Student Council and the academy holds

•Romance 1 of the 6 RO’s—3 females, 3 males—or form platonic bonds with all of them!

•Get your very own Familiar!

•Choose your history with two of the RO’s

•Leave highschool with a bang

•Weylyn Rutherford the President (18, M, Demisexual Demiromantic)

Romance Options:

->Their Birthdays

~•~•~

The good boy next door. He’s your neighbor in the local neighborhood you both live in. A kind and patient guy that helps around your family every once in a while with a smile on his face. Not as smart or athletic as the Vice President or the Treasurer, but he’s trying his best. Weylyn tends to disappear randomly a day or two each month, and comes back like nothing happened with an excuse that he’s just visiting a relative. Yeah, totally explains why his eyes seem to glow a bit brighter for a few days.

•Fleur Heartstein the Vice President (17, F, Bisexual Greyromantic)

“Ah, jeez, you didn’t have to do that. You’re going to make me blush!”

~•~•~

A rich heiress to a family owned bank, she’s the epitome of the “Top of My School” game. Always with high academic achievements and grades, multi-talented, boys and girls swooning over her left and right; she is the girl everyone either dreams or envies. Despite her popularity in the school, her demeanor screams of a distant figure that’s only praised for what she is. Calm, cold, quiet, people like her are known to hide and say so much more under the surface. Is that blood and petals in her coughs?

•Zephyrine “Zeph” Vel Delle the Secretary (17, F, Pansexual Panromantic)

“I’m surprised you even want to talk, let alone to me.”

~•~•~

The ever excitable and cheery Secretary of the Council. The one to bring the fun and excitement on a bleak or boring day. One for makeup and fashion, she’s the gal who’ll ask if you can let her paint your nails or test a new eyeshadow she bought on you. She’s everyone’s best friend, if you may. Despite the giddy and somewhat airheadedness in the way she appears, there is a side you've yet to see from her. And you don't know if you can handle it.

•Eliseo De Loughrey the Treasurer (18, M, Bisexual Aroflux)

"Oh, look at that, we're holding hands! Does that mean we're dating now?"

~•~•~

The bad boy of the Student Council, an irony for being part of a paragon of the Lumintoile perfect student. Often found smoking in the old classrooms of the 7th floor or hooking up with some random girl. A smug demeanor, and known to tease, any annoyance towards him is usually gone by sweet words and a smile. Open with everything in his life, even the unnecessary bits, is he as transparent as he seems?

•Cooper Lockhart the ??? (17, M, Aceflux Biromantic)

"You're a little adorable thing, aren't you?"

~•~•~

Someone from outside of Lumintoile. Not much is known about him, but the fact that Fleur's seen with him all the time outside of school. He doesn't look like anyone you've seen around the neighborhood. With an attention span that is always drifting off somewhere and with a hyperactive attitude, no wonder Fleur sticks with him. Maybe he's some foreigner friend visiting, or maybe something more sinister is afoot.

•Ophelia Edevane the batchmate (18, F, Greysexual Panromantic)

"Aww, come 'ere and let me bless you with hugs!”

~•~•~

A new friend you met through Zephyrine. She's an unusual one from the next classroom over. Head stuck in fantasy books, she longs for something well... magical to happen in her life. Gullible and easily awestruck, an academic to the unknown and mysterious. A researcher if you may, always getting her head into dangerous things just to learn them. Though it's a bit alarming at how calm she is about it all. It could be a façade, for all you know.

Other Characters:

"Oh, there you are! Come on, I want to check something out with you!"

~•~•~

•Murphy Heartstein (16, M)

One of Fleur’s adoptive younger brothers in the 10th grade. A socialite and fairly popular in his grade. Part of the school’s basketball team, and often found playing basketball during lunch.

•Ziyad “Z” Heartstein (16, M)

Murphy’s twin brother and the lesser known brother. Just as quiet as his older sister, and often found in the library either reading or playing chess with Fleur.

•Chiffon (31, M)

The butler of the Heartstein family. He’s an aloof and frank man, always seen picking up and dropping off the Heartsteins via limo. 

•Evelyn Lockhart (24, F)

Cooper’s older sister. She drops by every now and then to check up on him. Charming and just as mysterious as her brother.

•Shiki Chikafuji (???, NB)

They call themselves a friend.

Dancing With The Devil is my first interactive fiction, but it’s not my main story. It’s what I hope will be a stress reliever for when working on my other stories become a bit too much. I hope to have the intro post out for at least one of them soon! Content Warning is at the end of the post, check it out before interacting/reading. 18+

Twelve years ago you and your band mates were at the height of your careers. Being on the cover of every magazine and headlining the biggest shows, and attending the grandest galas and parties were only some of the perks of being on top of the music world. You were born to be in the spotlight, and boy was it good to be treated and feel better than everyone else.

But life in the spotlight faded pretty fast. Now it’s been six years since you’ve disbanded and your life hasn’t been the same. No more shows, no more getting recognized every time you go out, and no more special treatment. Suddenly, you were no one and compared to how you were living then, well your life is shit.

And honestly? You’d do anything to have the amount of success again. Anything.

Unfortunately for you, a mysterious being approaches you with a deal of a lifetime. The celebrity lifestyle, the success, and the money? You could experience it all again for just one measly price: your service.

And when they call for you to do their bidding, you’d better be ready.

Get ready for one hell of a ride, rockstar.

Customize the MC. (Appearance, Gender, Personality, and Sexuality.)

Customize your…other form. Don’t worry you’ll look scary and sick as shit at the same time.

Have a demonic power that you’ll get to use when you have to, or just when you want to.

Choose your role in the band. Because that’s the thing that matters right now. (No, it actually does, and it’s gonna be pretty fucking cool.)

Rekindle friendships with or romance with any of the five romance options, plus a secret/locked option. Poly routes will be added to the ROs list once I plan them.

Choices shape your route. Do you want to embrace your new dark side or is it all too much for you? Both possible routes comes with their own pros and cons.

The choices you make can also put you and your band mates in some hot ass water (literally), but let’s be honest, you guys probably deserve it!

Multiple endings.

Ava Leveux, F, She/Her, 36, Lead Singer

One of your closest friends still and really the only one you talk to after the band’s split. She’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and between all of you, the one with the most common sense. Which is why she’s very reluctant to go along with the entire “deal” in the first place.

Daniel Mercer, M, He/Him, 35, Bassist

Despite the fact that he’s not actually as talented as the other members of the band, he definitely has the biggest ego out of everyone. Add the fact that he can be quite hot headed, and he becomes one of the most annoying people on the planet. He didn’t really end on the best of terms with the rest of you after the band split, but because he’s just as desperate for attention as the rest of you, he’s back.

Farrow Marsone, NB, They/Them, 39, Manager

Your no-nonsense manager. Not here for this shit honestly. They’re the first and pretty much only one to explicitly tell you that this entire deal is shady, and will come back to bite you in the ass. However after some thinking, they begin to realize that they’ve been out of work for years and your success is their success.

Hannah Landoni, F, She/Her, 35, Guitarist

Though the success isn’t much, she’s the so called “breakout star” of the band. After the split, she’s the only one who’s made bit of a name for herself and at least a little bit known nowadays. Was very quick to distance herself from the rest of you once she rebranded. Once she heard about your plan, she really wasn’t on board with it, but even she can’t ignore the fact that the bit of spotlight that she does have is fading fast.

Ronin Sawyer, He/They, 33, Drummer

One chaotic little shit, and can be quite too much for some people. Constantly giving out himbo energy, and a bit clueless about what’s going on, but once they figure it out they’re all in for it. It’s reckless, impulsive, and it’s sure to cause a lot of chaos. How the hell could they say no to this?

????, They/Them

Intimidating, cunning, and very persuasive…

Dancing with the Devil is an 18+ horror themed interactive fiction with a hint of dark comedy. The story will feature strong language, consumption of alcohol, implied drug use, violence, mildly gruesome scenes, optional sexual explicit scenes, hints of manipulation, blood, and dark themes. Possibly more to be added as the story progresses. If any of this is off putting to you, this may not be the story for you. Play at your own risk.

ROMANCE OPTIONS

RO Visuals (Picrew)

Alfie Redding [ 16 — M — Bisexual ] — as a bookworm with a kind smile and a terrifying glare, Alfie is the only person you 'know' before attending Green Valley, having been in the same secondary school. Not that the two of you were particularly close but perhaps his bright mind and striking wit is just what you need to solve this mystery.

[ English ] tall and willowy, extremely pale skin that burns easily, short bright ginger hair (2b) in a perpetual state of bed-head, olive green round eyes, aquiline nose with a high nose bridge and a straight base, lots of freckles, freckles everywhere in varying shapes and tones — they tend to come out more after he's been in the sun... as long as he's not burnt a bright red, thin lips but a wide mouth — a small pink scar on the left side of his top lip, deep dimples when he uses his mouth to form expressions. [ 6'0" ]

JJ Pendleton [ 17 — M — Pansexual ] — JJ is the one most people see either running away from a crime prank scene or the one sat outside the headmaster's office with a grin the size of England. He's funny, intriguing and easy to befriend however, he's hard to stick with, and often leads to trouble. Maybe that's why he's the one who most people are betting their money on, whether it's to disappear or prevail though, who knows?

[ Irish ] tall, athletic build, rosy warm tanned skin tone, bubblegum pink dyed hair (1c) — naturally dark brown — that's longer on top than on the sides and is usually styled up and out of his face, cat-like cornflower blue almond shaped eyes covered with large round glasses — currently sporting a pair of silver frames, a light smattering of freckles over the bridge of his romanesque nose with a bump on the bridge — it helps keep his glasses on his face, bow-shaped lips with a thinner upper lip — if you look closely there is a scar where a medusa piercing has been healed over, shallow dimples that only appear when he grins widely. [ 6'1" ]

Petra Molina [ 17 — F — Pansexual ] — as one of the only Non-British people at Green Valley, Petra brings a lot of intrigue and gossip wherever she goes — both the positive and negative kinds due to her appearance and life-style. Outwardly she never seems fazes by the whispers gathering in her shadow and she tends to keep to herself but she's a deeply passionate person as well as a loyal and protective friend, one that builds an almost perfect support system no matter what you'll go through.

[ Polish-Canadian ] small, petite frame — not much muscle and not a lot of fat, cool beige skin tone — often seen with rosy cheeks despite the weather of what she's feeling and wearing the colour black as clothing or makeup doesn't seem to wash her out paler, waist-length chestnut brown wavy hair (2c) that is usually left down and wind-swept in style with a choppy fringe that falls in a middle parting, down-turned hooded eyes, small snub nose, narrow lips with a straight cupid's bow and undefined philtrum, a singular beauty spot of the right side of her chin. [ 4'11" ]

Dakota Green [ 16 — F/M — Demi-sexual ] — the person who's friendly with everyone but the one no-one seems to know anything about. Not much is known about Dakota except the vast rumours that surround them and their family name — the biggest one being that the Green family are one of the founding families of the Green Valley Academic Chain. They have power and connections and might just be the key to figuring out the darker secrets surrounding Casadia Hall, you'd just have to get close enough for their walls to crumble.

[ Black-British ] average build — not particularly thin but not plump either, rich brown skin tone, shoulder-length white freshly bleach-dyed afro (4b) usually styled in two low puffs (F) or in a natural afro (M), black thin and shaped eyebrows, dark brown downturned protruding eyes — a faint scar running through the left eye the colour is so similar to their skin tone most people don't notice it at a glance, flat bridged nubian shaped nose, heart shaped full lips — upper lip thins out when they smile, a small and hard to differentiate beauty spot under the left side of their lips. [ 5'5" / 5'8" ]

Echo Edwards [ 16 — F/M/NB — Bisexual ] — Echo is the person most people wish they could be: the one most people are too scared to be. They're cool, calm and collected which a natural charm and a never-ending well of sage and though-provoking advice. They're the type of person people can't seem to insult, no matter how hard they try and the type of person who's smooth words could potentially get them, you and your house out of the worst types of trouble. However, is this worth their time? Or would their effort be better placed on keeping it out of mystery?

[ Thai-Welsh ] "attractively androgynous" average build — no particular curvature, fat or muscle however they have more muscle than they let on, rich sienna skin tone, dark dyed purple-almost-black (naturally dark brown) chest-length hair (1b) often styled tied up in some way — most commonly tied up in twin twisted space buns, dark brown straight medium-thick eyebrows, wide set monolided hazel-brown eyes, singular beauty mark directly under the outside corner of their right eye, short button nose with a stud piercing on right side, oval shaped lips with a fuller upper lip, straight shaped cupid's bow and defined vermillion boarder, one dimple on the left side that only appears when they smile. [ 5'7" ]

Lyric Bronwin [ 16 — NB — Non-Sex-Repulsed-Asexual, Pan-romantic ] — as someone who has never liked to be kept caged, Lyric lets their rebellious nature shine through in everything they do. They're outspoke and quick to defend what they believe in — due to excellent debate skills and some tough times in a couple of foster homes. They're good at finding loopholes and giving a change of perspective, which is especially useful when you start to get tunnel-visioned and stuck on a problem. It's hard to say no to them but that doesn't mean they're easy to like — what would be for the best?

[ Japanese ] lithe "unathletic with a fast metabolism" build, fair fawn skin tone, jaw length jet black hair (1a) often styles outwards under a beanie making their hair look shorter, thick yet shaped black eyebrows, double-lidded chocolate brown upturned asian eyes, narrow, straight nose with a high nose bridge — hooped septum piercing, small mouth and small lips, short and well-maintained thin moustache — to "confuse the prejudiced". [ 5'9" ]

OTHER CHARACTERS OF IMPORTANCE

Melinda Khan, Head Master [ 47 — F ] — the current headmaster of Green Valley Connection and Boarding School, London. Her smile is serene when it isn't sharp and her presence is calm and kind when it isn't rigid and intimidating. It's hard to get a read on her and it's even harder to keep secrets from her. They only questions left are — what does she know and who's side is she on?

Geoffrey Davies, Grounds Keeper [ 52 — M ] — stand-offish and not really in a good way, he's quiet and broody and isn't afraid of 'powerful people'. He's quite the mystery as the only thing people really know of the man is his love for gardening, unfortunately he's terrifying to talk to with a pair of hedge sheers in his hands.

Noaki Bushby, House Keeper [ 39 — NB ] — in charge of looking after the house rather than its inhabitants, Naoki is as kind as they are awkward and it's blatantly obvious they're much more suited to house keeper. They have background in architecture and home decoration making them incredibly suited to the job but they're kind of scary when you can hear them coming.

Archie Novak, House Mother [ 40 — M ] — takes on the role of 'mother' with pride. He has a degree in psychology and his previous job was working in a day care facility. Archie is loving and nurturing and is a warm and welcoming presence at Casadia Hall.

Mister, House Cat [ 3+ — M ] — Ragdoll, white body with a fully chocolate brown face. No one can recall where he came from, just that his name is Mister and he's been at Casadia Hall for three years.

UPDATES:

hi! welcome to green valley. you may have seen 'green valley' before in regards to trick serve, my other interactive fiction — so don't worry about plagiarism. this is because these two books will be in the same universe! green valley is the name of the chain of academic locations i made up! in this if you'll be playing an MC in their teens in a boarding school. (there won't be any connection to trick serve).

i will be focusing on this if first, think of this as a tool for me to learn coding through doing it and not getting super stuck or annoyed - it won't be as complicated.

A dark fantasy story with a mix of modern, medieval, and futuristic elements. Two siblings, an angel and demon, on a path of revenge.

In the world of Eldris, the recent infestation of binders and lifelines grows. They are eldritch entities made of the same essence as the living. Despite the commonality, it is clear that they do not belong in this world, and nobody knows where they come from. What is clear is that they are on the hunt for mortals who will become the ideal vessel for storing essence, and they’ll do whatever it takes to survive while on their conquest.

You and your brother, Daemin, are another anomaly in this world. The day you woke up in this strange land was the same day you were quick to learn of your newfound power. While you are an endless basin of life, your brother is a vacuum of death. He is in a constant state of decay, and he needs essence to live. However, with a surplus of essence, he can amass power beyond what a demon like himself should be capable of. The two of you make a dangerous pair, seeing as how you’re a limitless generator of essence and he can become a dangerous user when he has a lot of it. Will that combination of power go to your head?

With a feeling you’ve lost something other than bits of your memories, you and your brother embark on a mission. You both seek to find out where you are, what happened to you, and how to get back on track with achieving your primary goal: getting revenge.

But be careful, angel of Aether. There are many eyes aimed at you and your brother since your awakening, and mortal affairs tend sink anyone and everyone in like quicksand.

Play as a man, woman, or nonbinary individual.

Seven confirmed romance options.

Make fun of your edgy brother. Embarrass him. 

Find your style of combat. Do you prefer to fabricate weapons into existence, manipulate elemental essence to fight, or transform into an entity made for combat? You have the liberty to dedicate yourself to a craft, or be a jack of all trades.

Fight humans, binders, lifelines, and whatever wants to pick a fight with you.

Will you show mortals to be or be not afraid of you? The power to kill or show mercy is in your hands. You may even influence your brother to do what you believe is right.

Hooked is set within Never Land but probably not as you remember it. With characters that are a bit different than you remember too.

Genre(s): Dark Fantasy, Romance, Action/Adventure, and Drama

Setting: Never Never Land

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, blood, mentions of past torture, death, mentions of manipulation, profanity, sexual themes, and piracy.

“All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust…”

It was a sentence, whispered with such sweet sincerity, that pulled the unassuming into a web they could never escape. Promises of eternal youth, endless adventures, and a land that you could forget all your troubles in, being the final nail in the proverbial coffin. As it was never explained what you had to give up in return; everything that you’d sacrifice in order to achieve such wonderment.

Your life…

The memories of a gentle touch across your forehead, followed by the sound of soft laughter that never failed to fill you with warmth, was all that you could recall of your life before Never Land. Before you had been deceived into believing that you could have better. Never knowing that you were about to leave better behind…

Faith had been lost long ago when you had begun to miss your mother and wanted to go back; wanted to be in her warm embrace once more. Trust had followed quickly after when you had been shunned for expressing such wishes.

All that remained was pixie dust— in a small vial wedged somewhere within your room— but even that would never be able to take you to where you wished to be. A place, a time, that you’d never be able to go to again.

Your old name— the one your mother had given you— was only spoken by a select few but you were known far and wide by another name. A name that had been given to you by the very man that had brought you here.

Captain Hook.

Play as Captain Hook as you try to come to terms with everything that has happened in your life. Will you be able to get to the bottom of what happened to Peter Pan? Or will everything forever be shrouded in darkness?

Customizable MC: name, gender, sexuality, appearance, and a smattering of vices/hobbies that could crop up. (Note: You haven’t lost your hand. Yet.)

Befriend the Crocodile that always seems to be following you around.

Romance 1 of 5 options from Peter Pan himself to your first mate.

Will you be able to figure out a way to stop Peter before more children suffer the same fate you have?

Don’t let the beauty of Never Land fool you… it’s a dark and dangerous place that one needs to have a sharp mind to navigate.

Remember to trust yourself and your instincts but don’t forget the people who wish to help you. They may be the ones to save your life…

Peter Pan [M] - The Lost Boy

Appears 28 [6’2” | Dark Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]

With a devilish smile, mischievous eyes, and an unpredictable personality, Peter has never been one to truly fit into one box. Especially not with how long you’ve known him. Of course, you also remember when the dark brown of his eyes were filled with warmth and care. Instead of how they are now where they almost seem devoid of everything that made Peter… Peter. Maybe, with your help, you’ll be able to help him find his way back.

FC: Jeremy Sumpter

Tinkerbell [F] - The Mystery

Appears 26 [5’8” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

You’ve never known that much about Tinkerbell— besides the fact that she had a fiery temper— but you also try to forget the majority of the path that has led you to where you are now. Having never truly been close with Tink it’s understandable why you’re surprised to find her surrounded by your crew; completely willing to hand herself over if it meant she could speak with you. Will you be able to discover the secrets that she keeps? Will you find something more along the way?

FC: Elizabeth Olsen

Samuel/Samantha [M/F] - The First Mate

Appears 33 [5’5” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The one person in Never Land that you can confidently say that you trust. Your First Mate, or Smee as the majority of your crew calls them, is a gentle soul that tries their best to please you no matter what. It’s a fact that you’ve tried to change but their unwavering devotion to you hasn’t shifted their stance in the slightest. With a kind smile, gentle heart, and compassionate nature, it’s no wonder that Smee is one of the most crucial members of your crew. You know that you’d be lost without them.

FC: Miguel Iglesias || Victoria Justice

Adriel/Ariel [M/F] - The Connection

Appears 29 [5’11” | Emerald Green Eyes | Ash Brown Hair]

One of the few people within Never Land that’s connected to your past that you still actively try to speak to. With a stoic exterior, hiding a heart of gold beneath, they’ve always made your time in Mermaid Cove much easier by scaring the rest of the mermaids away when you’ve needed to speak to them; especially since you know that Peter tends to frequent the place too. Now, with the addition of legs, they’ve sworn to help you figure out what’s poisoned not only Never Land but it’s supposed Guardian as well.

FC: Mitchell Wick || Angelina Jolie/Megan Fox

Gray/Grace [M/F] - The Newest Addition

27 [5’10” | Light Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The most recent newcomer to Never Land that is unlike any of the ones you’ve seen before; with the simple fact that they’re a full fledged adult. Only used to dealing with possibly hysterical kids you don’t truly know how to deal with an hysterical adult. Especially when they keep spouting things about Disney and this having to be a dream. Fortunately, whenever they’re not completely freaking out they have a wonderful personality; a teasing tone, compassionate eyes, and a dazzling smile. Will you be able to show them that the stories they’ve (somehow) heard aren’t true? That you’re not the villain.

FC: Michael B. Jordan || Naomi Campbell

You and your new teammates are aiming to restore Woodward's reputation by trying to make it to the championships. Will Woodward emmerge from the shadows of its former glory?

What the Scabiosa Blooms is an 18+ interactive fiction.

You never know what lurks within the dark.

Death seems far more interested in lingering in the city of Aevum, than anywhere else, as for the past few months, people having been dying left and right and the local authorities have not a single clue who the killer is.

All they can find is a single scabiosa flower in full bloom left at the crime scene.

Of course, strange as the surge of dead is, the markings on the bodies that come to you that you need to ‘clean’ are bizarre in its own right. Some of these markings don’t look like your normal animal bite or simple ‘blade-to-flesh’ contact. It’s almost monstrous, but there’s no such thing as monsters…

Right?

Play as a male, female, or nonbinary mortician who is dragged into a series of murders in the city of Aevum.

Be dragged into the investigation by strangers who seem far more invested in this than the local police force. Not to mention, something about them seem… Strange.

Piece together the mystery of what is going on in the city, attempting to put together the pattern and understand what the motive of the killer is, if there even is one.

Fall in love, or don’t. The choice is yours as strangely enough, people seem drawn to you despite your efforts and attempt to keep people out of your life. Make friends or enemies, find those to who are worthy to trust, or misplace your trust elsewhere.

Will you catch the killer, or will the killer catch you?

CONTENT WARNINGS

There are a few things that might trigger some individuals — death, violence, gore, lots of dead bodies, discrimination, and sexual content. Please don’t hesitate to tell me if there are other things that should be added to the warnings.

DEMO TBA: 

Detective, your previous endeavours working for us have proven your capabilities are beyond measure. I trust that you will take on this assignment with a clear head and complete censorship: no one other than your appointed team shall know about your endeavours. I fear that if this operation is not pulled off smoothly, the world shall be in the hands of evil. Best of luck.

SYNOPSIS // CASE BRIEFING

I assume you remember the extensive effort our best personnel put into neutralising the leader of DODGE, Viktor Madsen, back in 2018. We were successful in our operation and DODGE fell silent: we kept an eye on them and heard nothing, assumed they had disbanded. Just a week ago, our cybersecurity professionals started reporting strange activity throughout the city: data leaks, an influx of online propaganda, dark web trades almost tripling in a week- it has DODGE written all over it. We already have professionals working to disarm any cyberterrorism threats they send our way, dealing with DODGE as a group is manageable, its the mastermind behind it all that we must neutralise: that is where you will come in. 

On Wednesday night, Viola Springs police officers brought in a young woman by the name of Lola Raith. Miss Raith was arrested for aggravated assault, but our attention is on the DODGE branding she has on the back of her neck. We confiscated her mobile phone and personal laptop and have found condemning information about DODGE that is concerning at the least. From what we have gathered, DODGE has been taken over by someone going by ‘Echo’. Echo has instigated a new regime to DODGE, planning on dividing their efforts between cyberterrorism and drug distribution. They have been advertising a new age in their outstanding propaganda: ‘The Soul Harvest’.  This ‘Echo’ individual has made formal threats to those holding Raith in custody, promising ‘catastophic resistance’ if she were to be charged. This leads us to believe Miss Raith is someone that Echo holds close: you are going to take advantage of that. 

Currently, we have no information on this new drug being pushed by DODGE, and it may be dangerous. This, alongside your close proximity to DODGE members on this operation, is why I have assigned you a small team that you will be working with to take Echo, and the whole of DODGE, down. Good luck. 

THE ROMANCEABLE CAST // PERSONAL FILES

ECHO: the mastermind. [M]

Unfortunately, all we know about Echo is what we have gotten out of Miss Raith so far. She has let slip that he is male, and an indirect heir to DODGE, once working below Viktor Madsen: the depth of their relationship is unknown. The small amount of communication we have had with Echo has told us he is dangerous and willing to take action against us. He used to write political thesis’ under the username “ECHO_CHAMBER” , but any connections to his old doings have been fried. He seems to hold Miss Raith close in relationship, whether they are romantically involved or not is unknown- we have confirmed that they are not related in any way. The last known online appearance he has made was two weeks ago, where he distributed a string of propaganda idolising “THE SOUL HARVEST” which we think is the first step in his new drug push. He made direct contact with us via an untraceable phone call on Thursday demanding we free Raith from custody, otherwise we will face ‘catastrophic resistance’ from him and his respective peoples. You are to stop at no ends to find this man and bring him back to us: dead or alive. 

LOLA RAITH: the devout follower. [F]

Miss Lola Raith was arrested after assaulting a known drug dealer on the outskirts of town. When police arrived to the scene, responding to a witnesses call, Lola was still assaulting the man, who is recovering in hospital for the time being. Talking to him may give you an idea of what happened. Raith has faced questioning these last few days, and has shown to run her mouth just a bit too much. Slowly but surely we are straining information out of her, she has refused the counsel of a lawyer, which is strange in itself. Lola’s computer was searched, and encrypted chatlogs were found where she talks to multiple other people about “getting excited for the new drop” and arranging multiple get-togethers which we are monitoring closely. Lola being taken into custody has been a silent matter, so how DODGE knows about her arrest is unknown so far. You and your partner are going to take charge of interrogations from now on. A dossier of information will be on your desk tomorrow, I advise you read through it and learn her mannerisms before talking to her. She is your first step to dismantling DODGE. 

TOBY KLEIN: the communications expert. [M]

I understand that you and Toby have worked well together in the past, I even remember him referring to you as his ‘best friend’ so I am putting you two on the same team in the hopes that your chemistry will boost our findings. He will act as communications expert: guiding you on operations and finding out what he can about the cyberterrorism aspect of Echoes operations: you and your partner will be working in tandem with Toby, but be focusing on his drug push. Toby will not be working in the field with you and your partner: he is to stay off the grid at all times. Klein has proven to be competent in his communications, although sometimes he exhibits childish behaviours and unfocused characteristics: please keep him on track. This is a serious operation that could harm many, I do not need the terrible two fucking things up. 

ALEXIS HAYES: your partner. [F]

I understand that you and Detective Hayes have formed some sort of rivalry over the years working for us: I wouldn’t put the two of you together under any other circumstances, but the two of you are my most competent detectives and I will not tolerate any dispute between the two of you. Detective Hayes will act in equal to you, her strong personality and ability to make people talk will aid you in interrogations: she is self-sufficient and hates DODGE almost as much as I do. She was also playing a minor role in the takedown of Viktor Madsen, so her knowledge of DODGE is advanced. Along with that, she has served on the DEA as a special agent, and her knowledge on streetworks and current drug circulations is crucial to this operation. Play nicely. 

SAILOR ANG: the undercover design ops. [NB]

Mx Ang is going to be the backbone to your undercover endeavours. They are a skilled makeup and SFX artist, alongside a textiles genius and the storyteller of a lifetime. Any new personalities you may need to don will be given to you by Sailor: they will also train you with new accents and increase your recall in order to remember specific details about your new personalities. Mx Ang is the only person outside of the force that can know about this operation: they are being compensated very kindly for their silence and will be available at any time necessary in return. Mx Ang is a sweet person, but don’t be fooled: getting on their bad side is a death sentence for yourself, and we need you alive. 

FEATURES 

This operation is going to be tedious. You’re going to perform interrogations, go undercover alongside your partner and try get in with DODGE. Attend parties for information, choose who you’re inviting home for the night and even pursue romantic relationships with the cast. Don’t get distracted, though: you have an evil mastermind to catch. Just don’t fall in love with him, that would be detrimental to this case…

—Make choices that will impact the ending you get (there are a few!).

—Learn more about DODGE, and their new leader, Echo. Decide for yourself whether they’re really as bad as the force thinks: maybe their agenda is the one to push?

—Play as your truest self: customise your appearance, personality, gender, preferred pronouns and sexuality! Inclusive customisation options are also here, depict whether your MC is trans, or if they wear a hijab or experience body dysphoria/dysmorphia. 

—Decide your approach when it comes to questioning suspects and confronting DODGE yourself: are you going to play bad cop, good cop or convert to DODGE’s ranks altogether? 

FINAL WARNINGS: 

The Soul Harvest is a story that contains strong depictions of drug use, violence and sexual themes (although skippable) strong and upsetting language is also prevalent in this story, and I advise you to read at your own discretion. 

Due to the optional sexual endeavours portrayed in this IF, it has been rated at 18+. 

Any questions are more than welcome in my inbox, reblogs are also always appreciated. 

“𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐎”: A story where you play as an immortal who awakens from a seven hundred year nap by an archaeologist who tells you the world you once knew is not what it is now. 

[ Demo TBA ] [ ROs Appearance ]

You’re immortal. There is no death for you. At least not a permanent one. 

The last thing you remember was hearing the faint snarls of a Beast, your blade steady in your hand while people sang in a chorus of screams around you. The next? You were waking up in a coffin in the middle of nowhere to a world you no longer recognise. 

There are strange tall buildings made of glass and metal. Even the clothes the people wear and the way they speak is strange.

The world has changed. For better or for worse, you don’t know just yet. But if there is one thing you do know for certain. It’s that immortality is not the gift people think it is.

You aren’t the only immortal being that has awoken that one fateful day. The only difference between the two of you is that one comes with incredibly sharp teeth and an appetite for a specific immortal.

— Play as a female, male or non-binary immortal and customise them including sexuality, appearance, etc.

— Romance one of three ROs: The immortal rival, the reincarnated figure and the charitable surgeon.

— Become friends with a literal demonic eyeball, cause a bar fight or two and evade some people who are hellbent on having you as their latest test subject. Oh and maybe come across a few dead bodies.

— Remain inconspicuous, pretend you know what you’re doing when you really don’t and most of all…Don’t die. (It raises questions).

Artemis Van Kirk [F]  — The Immortal Asshole Rival.

Always the bitter asshole first and frenemy second. At least to you. To everyone else, she’s just a slightly defrosted and polite version of what you know.

Throughout the centuries, she’s had many jobs but right now, she’s a regular, boring history professor at Sinner’s Lament University with a streak of being impossibly difficult to befriend.

Lyra/Leone/Leith Alcove [F/M/NB]  — The Reincarnated Figure.

They don’t remember you. Perhaps they never will. But all you know is that they haven’t changed one bit and is still every bit of the curious fool you once knew.

An agent of the law, Ackerman is the person they send when there’s a situation that’s a bit out of hand. And what better situation is there than people popping up dead with claw marks on their bodies?

Serai/Silas/Shea Warner [F/M/NB]  — The Charitable Surgeon.

The famous surgeon of Sinner’s Lament, Warner is practically a celebrity with a very nosy and loyal fanbase. They’re stubborn most of the time but kind, almost always willing to help.

All you needed from them was some “medical advice” but a photo of you two together surfaced on what is called “the internet” and suddenly you find yourself being watched by a herd of fangirls.

Francesca “Frankie” Ackerman [F] — The Archaeologist .

She’s weird but nice. Has a Russian blue cat who always seems to be at every corner.

Exo [?] — The eyeball.

A literal eyeball. Is so annoying sometimes that you’ll just want to stomp on it.

Barracuda “Barry” Radcliffe [M] — Head of Aeon Technologies.

He knows what you are. And he wants what you have.

It’s Zico again! And with another IF!

“Exurgo” is rated 17+ for violence, strong language, death and blood, etc. It’ll most likely be released on choicescript first before being ported to twine. Reblogs are greatly appreciated and thanks for reading and for your support!

[18+ Blog] || Demo [TBA]

‘Of Love And Starlight’ is a fantasy/slice of life interactive novel in which you must take on the quest of saving your club, with a custom MC, whilst battling with (or running head first into) falling in love— be it romantically or platonically —along the way.

This is, first and foremost, something fluffy and romantic— it’ll follow a story, yes, but at a slower pace as opposed to something fast and action-filled. Additionally; the poly routes, and proper development of the platonic route(s?), will be added at a later date— given that this is an inherently romantic IF I’m going to focus on that first, so please bear with me.

The blog is run primarily by me (Glitch!), but Cypher will be proofreading and adjusting my answers when necessary (it will absolutely be necessary at times, I struggle with words sometimes)— though if you want to ask either of us something specifically then just specify a name :)

And, finally, a disclaimer:

I’m not the best writer anyway, but that’s probably not helped by the fact that I know absolutely nothing about code. Whilst this game functions, and does so smoothly, it isn’t the most attractive of designs. Eventually I’ll be confident enough to change that, but for now I'm afraid you’ll have to tolerate plain colours (at least they match!)— I'm sorry about that.

Now! On to the game things!

Content warning(s): strong language, suggestive themes (later on//in asks)

They say that the stars are beautiful here, that they've never seen something so bright against the night sky, twinkling in a hundred constellations hung by the deities. And they say, in hushed whispers, that every child has their twinkling mural, a pattern assigned to them at birth— an inescapable label, a supposed tell of their character.

You? Well your's is ‘Pyxis, the compass that guides through storms, though for a guiding force there seems to be little direction to your freetime. 

You play a student trying to keep the Stargazing Club afloat at Feywood Academy, in the wake of its dwindling popularity— apparently the other students don’t value the celebration of the constellations as much as you. But you aren’t alone! Join forces with your clubmates and bring some starlight back to the student body, or at least some to yourselves whilst you try.

Customise your MC: name, appearance, gender (via pronouns), and magyk speciality!

Amongst other things; befriend, antagonise,  or start an enemies to lovers arc with one (or, eventually, multiple) of four ROs— three gender flippable, and one genderlocked non-binary

Make friends with a strangely attentive cat who answers only to ‘Poprock’; will you be the one to find out where on the deities green earth they came from?

Learn more about and use your magyk for the good of the club (or yourself, should you wish to impress)

Meet...a deity? It's probably a deity.

And, most importantly, attend a constellation celebration!

THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE;

M. Ariti || m/f || half-elf

Your bright and sunny student rep, M. is the go-to for school related inquiries— somehow they always seem to know where everything is…except maybe their wits when you’re around.

Artbreeder + Info

THE CLUB PRESIDENT;

R. Dubois || m/f || human

Your charming club president, R. can tell you at least something about everyone— but somehow they’ve never really revealed much about themself, maybe they'll teach you that particular talent sometime.

Artbreeder + Info

THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND;

I. Morin || m/f || elf

Your long-term companion, I. has been a constant and steady presence throughout your younger years— it doesn't seem like that's going away anytime soon, maybe now is the time to attempt to crack their stoic exterior.

Artbreeder + Info

THE STRANGER;

Qiao Shí || non-binary || elf????

The enigmatic stranger, Qiao, is seated beside you when they transfer into your class— cheeky and cunning, with an air of new mystery, they may not be an easy puzzle to solve, but it sure would be fun to try.

Artbreeder + Info

THE ROOMMATE;

Althea Chloros || female || half-elf

Your cheery roommate, she'll stick with you through thick and thing— Althea can be the best wingwoman, or the most torturous tease

THE MENTAL MAGYKS INSTRUCTOR;

Calliope Celestina || non-binary || elf

The librarian and resident mental magyks expert, Calliope isn't known to be the most expressive instructor— but their (likely accidental) coldness does have its charms to it

Zorlok is an interactive fiction story following the bizarre misadventures of a demon with no memories and the nerdy high schooler they're bound to serve. Uncover mysteries and cause mayhem in this dark comedy about monsters and found family.

The demo will be released on May 13th, 2022.

Content Warning: The game and this blog are rated 17+. Specific CWs will be updated as the game progresses, but Zorlok will contain swearing, alcohol and drug use, sexually suggestive content, violence, religious themes, and death.

You were a terrifying demon who wielded hellfire, fought angels, and corrupted souls (or some other shit like that), but that version of you vanished the night you made your deal with Tommy, a nerdy high schooler who was willing to sell his soul if you helped him become "cool."

That should have been easy. Right? Just pop him in front of a box fan for a few minutes, take his soul, and be on your merry way in under half an hour. But, no! That little shit had the nerve to tell you to forget your past and adopt the name Zorlok - the name of the demon his D&D character made a pact with.

So, now you're "Zorlok" and you have no idea who or what the Hell you really are. You know you're a demon, but that's it. You don't know how or why you became a demon, how to use your infernal powers, you aren't even sure how these deals are supposed to work. You tried the fan thing and nothing happened, but maybe there's some trick to stealing souls you haven't figured out yet. Until then, you're gonna have to do this the hard way.

And as if that wasn't enough, since Tommy realized monsters and magic are real too, he somehow got you involved with a mosnter hunter connected to the local Fay Council. Now you're on a team with two random humans protecting the city from feral beasts, investigating strange deaths, and fighting some "great evil." Whatever. It's better than doing Tommy's math homework.

- Decide who you're going to be now or attempt to discover who you were

Customize your gender and pronouns

Choose an alias (or use lots of them)

Design your "human" disguise and gradually unlock your true demonic appearance

Become more demonic, more angelic, or remain neutral based on your actions

- Learn to control your infernal powers and choose the three domains at your command: Fire or Ice, Sight or Spirit, Corrupting or Shapeshifting

- Tell elaborate lies or risk revealing dangerous truths

- Help Tommy survive high school (or sabotage him at every turn)

- Take your loyal hellhound for walks in the park or play fetch with the bones of your enemies

- Explore Casper, WA, a strange little city either surrounded by or inhabited by monsters depending on who you ask

- Set everything on fire... accidentally

Thanks for reading, all reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Tommy Osorio

Tommy is the 15 year-old who trapped you in this pact and then forced you to forget your past. You will get his soul if you help him become the coolest kid at his high school, but your starting to wonder if that's an impossible task. Tommy seems to think that becoming popular will make his former best friend, Jin, less embarrassed to hang out with him. It seems like he's just a kid looking for a friend, but that can't be it. The Tommy you see wouldn't have the sense to take away your identity. Either he's putting up a damn good façade or someone else told him what to do.

Tommy is a cisgender male. Your relationship with Tommy can go in several directions including remaining perfectly neutral, caring for and protecting him like a sibling, or seething with hatred and messing with him as much as you can.

Dev (RO)

The de facto leader of your monster hunting trio, Dev's a career criminal who's been entrenched in the supernatural world since xe got involved with a pixie mob over 10 years ago. You've heard that Dev became a member of the LAFC (the Los Angeles Fay Court) but don't know why xe would abandon that life and return to the small town xe grew up in. Maybe it has something to do with the magic eye xe keeps hidden under that eye patch?

Dev is gender selectable and can be cisgender nonbinary (xe/xem), cisgender male (he/him), or cisgender female (she/her). Dev is bisexual, grayromantic, and polyamorous.

E.J. (RO)

Dev's childhood friend, your new roommate, and a reluctant member of your monster hunting team. EJ is a human who was living a completely ordinary life unaware of magic's existence until you showed up at their door. However, strange, unexplained phenomena have plagued EJ for decades and their uncontrolled arcane powers have only grown more volatile since you moved in.

EJ is gender selectable and can be transgender nonbinary (they/them), cisgender male (he/him), or cisgender female (she/her). EJ is bisexual, biromantic, and monoamorous.

Adam / Eve Park (RO)

A talented, young detective who's dedicated to protecting the people of Casper from harm. Like most citizens, Park isn't aware of magic's existence, but they have their suspicions and realize that more's going on here than meets the eye. They also firmly - and somewhat correctly - believe that their former friend turned bitter rival, Dev, is somehow involved with the strange phenomena plaguing the city.

Detective Park is gender selectable and can either be Adam, a transgender man (he/him), or Eve, a transgender woman (she/her). They're demisexual, panromantic, and polyamorous.

Ainsley

The leader of a rival monster hunting team, Ainsley is incredibly well-trained. Like, if you had to guess - which you don't but, you're bored - you'd guess she's ex-military. She also seems very warm and caring and based on the way she looks at you and Ciel, she doesn't seem to hold much prejudice against monstrous beings. All in all, she seems really nice. You're not sure how that makes you feel.

Ainsley is not gender selectable, she is a cisgender female who uses she/her pronouns. She is not romanceable.

Lucía (RO)

A member of the rival monster hunting team, you haven't had much of a chance to interact with Lucía. From what you've heard, you think she's some kind of park ranger, which is impressive considering that the state park which borders Casper is "infested" with monsters. You wonder what kind of things she's seen out there and what keeps bringing her back to the forest.

Lucía is not gender selectable, she is a cisgender female who uses she/her or they/them pronouns. Lucía is homosexual, homoromantic, and monoamorous. She identifies as a lesbian and can only be romanced by female or nonbinary characters.

Ciel (RO)

The final member of the rival monster hunting team, Ciel is an enigma to you - an acerbic, reticent, goth enigma to be exact. At first glance Ciel appears human but when you really look at them you notice their pointed ears, yellow eyes, and short fangs. You aren't sure exactly what Ciel is, but you're 96% sure they're not human.

Ciel's gender can be customized. They are always cisgender nonbinary but can go by she/they or he/they pronouns and be either feminine or masculine in appearance. They're asexual (sex-positive), panromantic, and polyamorous.

There are several other main characters - including three more ROs ("The Celestial", Danny, and Rose) - who I won't discuss in detail at this time due to spoilers.

"The Celestial" is omnigender (ey/em). Ey is aromantic, pansexual, and polyamorous (and had some kind of relationship with Zorlok back when they were The Demon).

Danny is gender selectable - either transgender nonbinary (any but she/he), cisgender male (he/him), or cisgender female (she/her). They are demiromantic, demisexual, and polyamorous.

Rose is a cisgender male (he/him). Rose is homosexual, homoromantic, and monoamorous. He is only romanceable by male or nonbinary characters

Poly Routes: Dev & A/E, f! or nb!Dev & Lucía, Dev & Danny, Ciel & The Celestial, Ciel & Danny

It was a tale as old as time within the small town of Serenity Falls. To some the myths told of people that inhabited the seas— mermaids to most— that helped create Serenity Falls. To others, however, the myths speak of horrible beasts that crawled out from the very depths of hell; with a call that only the dead would be able to resist.

Many have heard the tales— and many have rolled their eyes at them— but when a stranger washes up on the shore of the small town with a much bigger history? Maybe those legends were filled with kernels of truth after all.

Unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to help; as you don’t remember how you even got to Serenity Falls in the first place. All you have are the flashes of memories when you dream, the faint pang in your heart every time you look out into the bay, and the faint echo of your name being whispered in the wind.

It seems that the small town of Serenity Falls has just as much to give you as you do to it.

DEMO TBA // RO APPEARANCES

Features

This story will be 18+ (later on) for swearing, possible alcohol use (for the MC), and sexual themes.

Play as a mermaid that has lost their way as you try to remember who you are and you’re confusing connection with the sea.

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, and sexuality. (More things will be added as the story progresses.)

Figure out where you truly belong; in the sea or on land.

Learn who you were as you discover who you’re becoming (and learn what happened to you).

Romance 1 of 5 possible options that will hopefully make your choice easier… or make it ten times harder.

August/Audrey Hale, 28 (M/F)

-The Golden Child-

The oldest child of Serenity Falls mayor; A has always made it their duty to make sure that everyone within the small coastal town was all right. A dazzling smile and a warm gaze causes many hearts to swoon but not many have been able to capture their heart. Will you be able to do so? After all they were the one to find you and you’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of them. As they want to make sure that you’re all right and acclimate well enough to everything that Serenity Falls has to offer.

“I haven’t felt this way since my first love broke my heart. I-I don’t know what I would if I lost you too. I just know that my world would become that much dimmer because of it.”

Sychar/Syrena Ashford, 29 (M/F)

-The Protector-

You don’t remember them but they certainly remember you. Silver eyes softening only for you as their attention solely stays wherever you seem to be. They say they’re your best friend, and something within your heart tells you it’s true, but you can’t shake the feeling that something’s being kept from you. You get the feeling that they’d do absolutely anything for you but you don’t remember why.

“I have stayed by your side for you entire life— through your ridiculous adventures— and I know that I’ll stay by your side for the rest of it. I’d do anything to protect you, your highness. Not just because you’re my best friend. You’ve always been so much more.”

Ross/Rose Laurier, 28 (M/F)

-The “Bad” Seed-

Whispered words is all you hear about them at first; that they were no good, that they ran with the wrong crowd. Upon meeting them? You couldn’t quite connect the soulful hazel eyes, standing on the other side of the diners counter, with the person those words have been connected to. Much more seems to hide underneath the steely facade that they put up. Maybe you’ll be the one to slip behind that wall and find the person hidden beneath.

“I still don’t know why you care so much. No one ever sticks around for long so I don’t expect you to either. I just hope you know that I’m glad you’ve stuck around. I’ve never truly had a friend like you. Now don’t tell anyone I’m getting this mushy on you or I might have to kick your ass, okay?”

Caspian/Cassidy Vega, 27 (M/F)

-The Scientist-

A person with as much passion for the sea, and the life living within it, as you’ve ever seen. For all the knowledge that spews from their mouth they seemingly grow bashful to every other form of conversation, but they’re endlessly fascinated by you. By the possibility that the old fables their parents told them at night could possibly be true. Maybe you’ll discover more about them as they help you discover more about yourself.

“The sea has always called to me. Rolling tides, whistling winds, pristine blues, have always been heaven on earth to me. I’ve never known exactly why I’ve always loved the sea but maybe it was to get me prepared for you? Maybe I love the sea so much because I was always supposed to love you.”

Lucian/Lucia Prince, 32 (M/F)

-The Enigma-

You aren’t the only new resident to Serenity Falls. You’ve only been able to catch glimpses of the elusive individual but their ice blue eyes, peering over darkened shades, seem to enrapture you; while also reminding you of a vague memory that has entered your dreams more than once. You don’t know why you feel like you already know this person but you’re definitely intrigued by them; their cool smile, collected demeanor, and flirty words included.

“Cat got your tongue, sweet thing? I hope you won’t be silent all night. It’ll get quite boring hearing me yammer on, don’t you think? Hmm.. no matter, I suppose there’s always other activities we could divulge in, don’t you agree?”

You had only heard stories about the fabled assault on the Silver City; an assault that had been carried out by one of the most trusted Archangels. One that had been ended after years of battle— of bloodshed— and ended in the banishment of all those that supported the usurper. You never imagined that you’d ever come face-to-face with the very being that caused it all.

That is until you’re given a task that not many had been given before…

Travel down to the land of humans— Earth— and wrangle in the aforementioned individual; a task that was passed down to you from the very siblings that had been betrayed.

You just weren’t expecting all the issues that would arise because of this task. With what the human world had to offer you when in comparison to the Silver City.

You also weren’t expecting to be pulled into a conspiracy, a criminal investigation, and the issues that humans seem to face everyday.

How were you going to explain this?

Features

This story will be rated 18+ for profanity, sexual themes, alcohol use, and a variety of other things that will be explained as they crop up. (This game will be free from start to finish as it takes inspiration from one of my favorite shows Lucifer… though it’s my own interpretation of Luci.) The Demo will be added at a later date.

Play as an Angel sent down from the Silver City to wrangle in the Ruler of Hell; possibly becoming a babysitter in the process.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, gender, sexuality, appearance, and a smattering of other things.

Help the Devil find out who killed their dearest friend. Or… still help them but roll your eyes a lot while doing so.

Figure out what it means to be a human after being apart from them for so long. What is this thing called ice cream?

Romance 1 of 5 possible options that’ll either bring Heaven or Hell to Earth.

And just remember to have fun!

The Devil

Lucifer Morningstar is one of the hottest names in Los Angeles. The influence they have over the city being undeniable— even if you’ve never stepped foot in it before— and you can understand why upon stepping into their night club. Sharp blue eyes, ethereal blonde hair, and lightly tanned skin screams of divinity. If it wasn’t for the flash of red you could see lurking within the crystal depths of their eyes; showcasing what they truly were beneath their flirtatious smile, quick wit, and charm. Fallen.

“You’re quite miraculous, darling, I’ve been able to see peoples desires— their innermost machinations— but I’ve never felt such things before. As I’ve always been one to take what I want but I desire you in all the best ways. And I’ll take my time to show you that.”

The Angel

The one that gave you the job to begin with; Gabriel is unlike their siblings. In that their joyous smile never waned when looking at someone outside of the Archangel members. Bright green eyes, raven black hair, and fair skin pull everyone’s attention towards them but they’ve always seemed to have a special interest in you. Their warmest smile, silliest jokes, and loudest laughs all directed towards you. You’ve just never understood why. Until now.

“I’ve always known that you were special. That you would either destroy or rebuild me. I don’t even know how long you’ve held my heart, dearest one, but I hope you know that it’ll always be yours.”

The Demon

One of the only people you’ve seen that Lucifer actually seems to tolerate. Syrus/Selene Palmer doesn’t take shit from anyone and would sooner throw a knife at Lucifer than listen to them yammer on. The sharpness within their grey eyes— their dark brown hair always pulled from their face— highlights the bronze tone of their skin. The no nonsense attitude fading just a little the longer they spend with you.

“I was one of the people that was tasked with torturing souls— it was a job that I reveled in— but it’s one that you can grow tired of. I’ve known pain, and I’m old friends with suffering, but you make all of that a bit easier to handle. You make me want to be better.”

The Detective

They didn’t ask to be pulled into celestial nonsense— not that they were fully aware— but Lucifer wouldn’t take no for an answer. So, unfortunately for them, they were tasked with helping you both. You couldn’t say you were exactly unhappy with the turn of events; Detective Cole/Cora Pierce being one of the most highly regarded officers within the LAPD. Intelligent hazel eyes, going well with the medium brown tone of their skin, always surveying the area. Ebony curls falling over their eyes as they force themselves not to roll them as Lucifer speaks. (Has a son named Theodore.)

“Where have you been all my life? I’ve been looking for you in every person that I’ve dated and never found you. It’s like you fell from the stars and ended up in my lap. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have you.”

The Doctor

The soft spoken, yet kindhearted, medical examiner for the LAPD. Doctor Nathan/Natasha Grey aren’t exactly what you’re expecting when stepping foot into the morgue for the first time, but you can’t say it’s all that bad. Light brown eyes, that sparkle with flecks of gold, allows their dark auburn hair to stand out. Olive toned skin shimmering gently underneath the lights. A timid, yet warm, smile quirking their lips.

“People scare me. I’m not used to speaking to them, being near them, which is why I stay down here. I don’t know how to interact with people that well but you make it easier. You’ve always made it easier.”

RO and other NPC POVs.

Alanis Santos Cruz [F] [Demiromantic, Demisexual]

??? (Appears 29) | 5’9ft | Zephinite (Puerto Rican)

Species: Reaper | Ability: Electrokinesis

A fiercely loyal woman who would do anything for the ones she loves. Alanis can come across as intimidating and unyielding in both her professional and personal life, but to anyone who knows her, her gentle heart and love of learning shines through clearly. Your former second-in-command, you could always turn to Alanis for support and advice, but you never truly understood how much she relied on you in turn. Now the commander, Alanis is perfectly civil to you, but there’s a quiet anger simmering in her eyes, and you don’t know if she’ll ever let herself trust you again.

Character Sheet

Ngaio Kerr-Bell [F] [Omnisexual]

??? (Appears 22) | 5ft | Zephinite (Māori)

Species: Reaper | Ability: Strength Augmentation

A true child of chaos, Ngaio always tries to look on the bright side. Her warm and friendly demeanour belies a woman of great mental and physical strength who desires to protect those she loves. She once respected you as her commander, and loved you as her friend. These days, you find it difficult to understand what Ngaio thinks of you, but you can’t help but notice how she still seeks you out to share the things that excite her, and how she lights up when you walk into a room.

Character Sheet

Zep Taylor [NB] [Pansexual]

??? (Appears 26) | 5’6ft | Zephinite (American)

Species: High Reaper | Ability: Compulsion

Ngaio’s sibling-in-chaos, Zep takes nothing in life seriously, living on the edge and preferring to take each day as it comes. They talk tough, but Zep’s heart is as big as their personality, and they attempt to shield it by destroying themself before anyone else can. But they weren’t always like this, before you left, Zep (perhaps ironically) valued life more than anything else and they looked up to you as a friend and role model, taking delight in making you laugh. These days, they shy from your touch…after all, your touch has always had the power to destroy them.

Character Sheet

Maksim Umarov [NB] [Demiromantic, Greysexual]

??? (Appears 28) | 6’2ft | Zephinite (Russian/Uzbek)

Species: Reaper | Ability: Healing

Apathetic would be the word used most to describe Maksim. To those outside their loved ones, their remarks are chilling and cut to the bone. However, when Maksim decides that someone is worthy of their trust, they would go to any lengths to protect them. When you were their commander, they would openly declare you as their favourite ‘patient’ and often left little notes around for you, reminding you to take care of yourself. Reunited again, you expect the biting words to be turned on you, but you are surprised to hear the softness in their voice that is still present when they speak to you.

Character Sheet

Fynn Von Decker [M] [Pansexual]

??? (Appears 31) | 7ft | Zephinite (German)

Species: Reaper | Ability: Enhanced Reflexes

A certified Gentle Giant, Fynn has a very doting nature, and those he loves could be forgiven anything. Unfortunately, due to Fynn’s height, people find him rather intimidating and tend to avoid him, which he struggles with as soft intimacy and love are hugely important to him. Although it’s rare to see, Fynn can be incredibly dangerous, he has a tendency to forget his own strength when he’s angry and will do serious damage if not kept in check. Once upon a time, you were the person that he went to for comfort, the person he trusted above all else. Now, as the second-in-command, Fynn is still sweet to you, but there’s a noticeable distance between you that he seems wary to let you cross.

Character Sheet

Lucas Kaloki [M] [Pansexual]

??? (Appears 25) | 5’11ft | English-Ugandan

Species: Human?

Cheerful and dependable, Lucas is your other housemate and best friend. He is always happy to help out, and is favoured by all your neighbours. A volunteer firefighter on top of running their own business, Lucas paints a competent and dependable picture (at least until he and Kaleb start bickering like an old married couple). He has always been there for you and your brother. Your ride-or-die friend as they say. But ever since the cracks in reality appeared, those sparkling eyes have become unreadable, and their beatific smile has edges too sharp, it makes you wonder if you ever truly knew Lucas at all.

The Threads That Bind is a free to play interactive novel set within the magical world of Harry Potter. Wherein you play as a wizard that’s been transported back into the Founder’s Era of Hogwarts. Will you find your way back? Will you want to?

The Magical World is filled a variety of creatures— from fire breathing dragons to shrieking plants— that vary in terms of deadliness. The creatures, however, aren’t the only things one needed to watch out for; other magic users, the one’s with an affinity to the Dark Arts, still roamed even after years of Voldemort’s defeat.

That’s where you come in.

You’re an Auror— a police officer for the Magical World— that makes sure the innocent people of Diagon Alley, and beyond, are kept safe.

It was during one of these chases— having been tipped off about a suspected straggler from Voldemort’s Army— that your life changed forever.

Having crashed through one of the seedier stores within Knockturn Alley, you were blinded by a flash of light before appearing in a world that seemed like your own but was completely different all the same.

Not only were you stuck in the past— centuries before you were ever borne— you had no idea how to return to the present.

Nor did the people who came with you…

This story will be rated 18+ later on for profanity, alcohol consumption, violence, sexual themes, and mentions of torture.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, magical leanings, sexuality, gender, and various other things.

Choose your Patronus (when it crops up)!

Choose which House you had been apart of! Allowing for amusing dialogue with the Founder’s (especially the one that you choose to romance).

Romance 1 of 6 options that will offer unique experiences for your MCs.

Find your way through a world that is so familiar but so alien all the same.

Discover Hogwarts as you’ve never seen it and interact with a whole new cast of characters.

Play Quidditch— possibly with one of the Founder’s— and learn how the game might have changed.

Figure out a way to get back to your own time— if you even want to— while trying not to hurt one of the people who had come with you.

Interact with a variety of magical creatures.

The Founder of House Gryffindor; Godric/Godria is exactly as the stories have spoken of. Standing tall and proud, auburn hair falling in gentle waves, as their green eyes observe their surroundings. Their famous sword always on their hip as they traverse through the halls of Hogwarts.

Will you tame their lion heart? Or will you get nothing but heartache for your troubles?

The Founder of House Hufflepuff; Helge/Helga is a kind hearted being that wants nothing but the best for their students— and for the other Founders to stop bickering— with encouraging words always leaving their lips. Dark brown hair, paired with hazel eyes, giving off a gentle aura that they always try to maintain.

Will you show them the loyalty they’ve always given others? Or will you leave them like the many before?

The Founder of House Ravenclaw; Rowen/Rowena is an intelligent individual that always has an air of detachment surrounding them. Raven black hair, crystalline blue eyes, and fair skin, gives them an intimidating stature that they don’t dispute. However, it’s with a select few of their students that they let their guard down. Letting their true identity to appear. Will you ever become lucky enough to see it?

Will you be able to temper their talons? Or will you only end up getting cut?

The Founder of House Slytherin; Salazar/Salazara is not what you were expecting when you met them for the first time. Pale blonde hair, slate grey eyes, and alabaster skin were not things you’ve ever heard them be described with. Their cunning mind, quick wit, and silver tongue doing well to detract from peoples attention on their looks.

Will you be able to withstand their venom? Or will you fall prey to it like many before you?

Your partner— one of the people that had been unfortunately pulled with you— for over two years. They may not have the most practical ideas but they’re more likely to work than one may think. Their dark brown eyes filled with nothing but warmth towards you— pairing well with their onyx black curls and medium brown skin tone— as they’ve often mentioned they could have never asked for a better partner.

Will you become more? Or is that all you will ever be?

The other person that was pulled along— unfortunately for you— who also happens to be the very person you had been chasing. One of the last stragglers of Voldemort’s army; Kieran/Kiera’s dark blue eyes are sharper than the simple lackeys you’ve met before. Paired with their flirtatious smile and quips, you know you have quite the time ahead of you. Especially now that you don’t technically have the jurisdiction to detain them.

Will you find out what hides underneath the mark on their arm? Or will they forever remain an enigma to you?

You’re next…

It was among a thousand other comments— you had only seen it briefly in passing— but you couldn’t help the chill that wracked your spine because of it. Even through the screen you could feel the malicious air exuding from those words. The omniscient air clogging your lungs as you try to fight through the emotions that rise because of the message.

You’re able to shake it off after a few moments— people on the internet are weird after all— and get back to doing your daily routine. Your attention shifting to other things; causing the message to be forgotten.

That is until a sharp rapping on your door awakens you at close to midnight; your bleary eyes barely taking in the flashing of a badge before you’re asking to come with them. Your ears barely being able to comprehend what it was they were hearing.

You were being targeted by a person that had already killed a dozen other people— all of them holding some presence online— and nothing would stop them from getting to their thirteenth; to you.

Will you be able to survive long enough to see the victims before you get justice? Or will you just be another number on a list that wasn’t able to be saved?

Damien/Diana Carrington 28, [M/F]

-The Roommate-

One of your roommates— the one that actually owns the house you’re living in— who doesn’t really interact with you all that much. Aloof to everyone but their cat, D makes it a point to stay within their room— more than likely sleeping through the day— before disappearing to their job at random hours; not that they needed to work. Being part of one of the richest families in America.

However, with everything that’s happening with you, you’re about to see a side of D that you’ve never even thought possible.

Gray/Grace Anders 27, [M/F]

-The Best Friend-

Your second roommate, and the one you were closest to, who also happens to be your best friend since childhood. With a sunny smile, compassionate demeanor, and giving spirit; you don’t know what you’d do without them by your side. Having them in the house brings a lot of cheer— plus their homemade meals— that you’ll desperately need in the coming weeks.

Will things transition into something more? Or will they stay the same?

Ethan/Emily Ward 32, [M/F]

-The Ex-Con-

The suave, and slightly egocentric, ex criminal that has agreed to help the police with the investigation— sort of like Silence of the Lambs— as they have the skills, and the connections, to help with the investigation; while the authorities have the capacity to give them a get out of jail free card for good behavior.

Will you fall under their silken words? Helping them turn over a new leaf? Or will everything be left to the unknown?

Oliver/Olivia Deveraux 31, [M/F]

-The Detective-

The lead investigator sent to protect you— as the FBI try other angles— with a cool demeanor that tells you of someone that’s seen too much. Will they let you get closer? Or will they push you away like they have everyone else in their life? Will you be their saving grace, like they’ll be to you, or will they be left to drown within themselves?

Will you see through their mask?

Fallon Beckett 29, [M/F]

-The Ex-

The person you thought you were going to marry; spend the rest of your life but misunderstandings broke the two of your apart. Someone who you used to share a bed with, who used to hold your heart and you theirs, becoming nothing but a stranger to you. So, you were surprised when you opened your door and they were standing on the other side. The same soulful gaze, the one you had fallen in love with, being right in front of you once more.

Will you forget your past to set your sights on a brighter future? Or will you always be stuck on that night everything ended?

"Horror gripped breath and blood red maw, they left you for your grave and yet here you stand in mock and mirthless jest with revenge in hand. History will be repeated, but not as they planned. An eye for an eye the crows laugh."

Gahliarch is not kind to those with magick. Breaking from a treaty made hundreds of years ago, they have returned to their dark roots and have begun purging their lands of magai once more. Where the nations of Syrel'Court and Heimshall believe that magick was given as a holy connection to their god creator Eddath, Gahliarch believes it a curse meant to be snuffed out; and themselves the divine judge, jury and executioner to do so.

You know of these executors first hand, born with magick and taken into captivity by the Gahliarchen nobility's personal bloodhounds, the Lumniscen Order. Like poignant cloying shadows they came after you and others of your kind as you had tried to cross the sea into the magai harboring lands of Heimshall and left you a vengeful husk upon your escape from them.

Now you hunt them in return for the pain they inflict. A vendetta through years of hardship and dedication to your craft, you have become the same nightmare they invoked on your kind. An assassin taking down the inner workings of Gahliarch’s most corrupt factions in turn for their grotesque genocide.

But there is news of war on the horizon. The nations of Gahliarch, Syrel'Court and Heimshall all meant to be governed by mutual interest and bond of The Seven Circle Court is being broken apart from the inside by quickly silenced rumors and faceless ploys, but this political turmoil might just be what you need to finally infiltrate and be done with the Lumniscen Order once and for all; to burn them from their rotting inside out.

It is time to decide who you want on your side, or risk going alone into the underbelly of Gahliarch’s hungry underground political society. Bring their secrets to burn in the light, dig into your history, fall into the depths of revenge and madness, discover hidden treaties and balance the lives of others in your hands. God or no god on your side.

RO's

Enoc Castellon Male An information broker notorious in Gahliarch as the best of the best. Very little gets past them and unlike others in the business of information, he is not afraid of getting hands on with his work unlike some others who prefer slinking about in the shadow waiting for bits of rumor or documents to make their way to them. You are lucky to call him a friend, possibly the only one you've truly had, but that doesn't mean that you get a pass for your behavior if he see's it as detrimental to your health or safety. Strict but on the edge of parental in their concern, you have come to respect each other despite it being such an unlikely partnership but it is one you've patched into your lifestyle so far you don't know what it would look like without him and how he becomes so much softer and calmer around you. He seems to have just as many secrets and a history riddled with scars as you however, something that brings solace to you both, but there is something else hidden there that Enoc himself is unwilling to say which continues to drive a wedge between your trust.

Wilorin Whitespire Gender Selectable (m/f) A reclusive figure working in the underground of Gahliarch's capital of Montseignant. A doctor by trade and one who used to work as scholar and instructor for medicine as a court physician they are an imposing figure in both appearance and personality, crude and no-nonsense they are the voice of reason in most situations and remain a pessimist despite their urge to do their duty and care for those less fortunate and underprivileged. After an unfortunate turn of events when Wilorin had to flee persecution from the Court after helping a group of magai escape Gahliarch, they had help from an old lover, Koske Ichante, who took them in while in hiding and started a small group together in the underground to continue their work in helping the refugee's find ways out of Gahliarch's failing judicial system. Wilorin's connections are widespread, between a small group of unlawfully discharged soldiers under the command of Koske, a network of the young children of the underground looking for ways to earn food and a place to rest off the street, and Wilorin's reluctant communication with Rowul Wayvir, they are more than well established as the largest faction in the underbelly of Gahliarch.

Rowul Wayvir Gender selectable (m/f) Hailing from one of the most prestigious academies of magick as an ambassador between Syrel'Court and Gahliarch, Rowul is a person of great interest and intrigue in the court, naturally charming and seen as highly gifted. With Gahliarch falling back into a time where it was open to persecute those with magick it makes the job of a magai ambassador dangerous however with secrets around every corner, they never seem to show the pressure getting to them though, leaving every conversation with a graceful and eloquent impact. Witty, sarcastic and yet always with a plan up their sleeve, there is more to them that meets the eye and you come to learn this first hand as they seek you out for a very particular job. They act as if they are an open book but you find yourself truly wondering what just lies beneath the carefully curated façade of nobility they air to the public and what plans they have in store for the ever changing political scene now that war is on the horizon. They have surprising connections, including their own bodyguard and spy Belos, a Tithessian from the Marshes of Phesen and some of the innermost of the underground of Gahliarch's capital making them a formidable enemy and a valuable ally, working their magick from the shadow all while in the spotlight of high society.

Belos Nonbinary A ghost rarely seen. Belos' work as a mercenary was renowned having been adopted into a family who prided themselves in their work as sellswords before mysteriously disappearing from the business. They aren't keen on talking about exactly what happened other then they had to take family matters into their own hands and did some things they were not proud of and became indebted to Rowul Wayvir because of it. They still find value in their skillset as a mercenary, watching everything and leaving no trace behind and when seen their inhuman features leave a particular foreboding unease, but it is often tainted with much darker undertones after having worked as a notorious assassin. There is something predatorial about them in appearance, though those who are fortunate enough to actually get to know them understand that their stoic expressions and silence is simply a comfort to themselves in preferring solitude over having to make small talk or unnecessary conversation. Wickedly smart with keen observational skills, details don't get past them easily and surprisingly for their quiet demeanor they are very emotionally in tune and have given solid advice to those they consider friends. They are loyal to Rowul and therefore loyal to their cause as well and when set on a task Belos makes sure it is completed no matter the cost.

Eowulf Rit Lechlen Female Born to a family once known as nobility in the capital of Gahliarch, Eowulf is the eldest daughter of the Rit Lechlen family who were exiled under false accusations and their title stripped from them. She has been preparing for her revenge for as long as she can remember and while she already has what she needs to incriminate those that already took her families title from them, she now needs a force strong enough to make the Court's Council listen to her claim without facing execution for returning to a land she was exiled from. The Rit Lechlen's have made a name for themselves again over the years on the Island of Rhes as fierce sailors and Eowulf shows it proudly, a strong fighter and leader she wears her families name with pride despite their stained status and laughs in the face of her adversaries for their naivety thinking simple words could make her stop her pursuit for justice. Her moral compass is strongly led by the desire to correct the wrongdoings of the system that has failed others like her and her family and exposing those who leech off of the system for their own benefit. Gahliarch is the perfect place to start this hellbent reckoning.

Sigunn Mlane Genderfluid A quick-witted bard and scholar originally from the smaller city of Cairith in Gahliarch, they later moved to the Island of Rhes as a scribe for the Rit Lechlen family when their studies were finished, becoming friends with the family's eldest child Eowulf Rit Lechlen, even so far as to become her personal bard and follow her in her endeavors to record her history. They are a notable tactician and have studied histories and lores extensively, making them a formidable ally to have in both battlefield and court. Sigunn as most bards tend to be has expressed abilities in political deals and spy work and is known to be a trickster in their own right but loyal to Eowulf and her beliefs of justice even if they are more aloof about it. Being a bard is one of the most honored roles of society, tasked with accurately keeping track of history happening around them, it is seen as one of the highest acts of treason both politically and religiously to temper with historical writings of a bard and they are trained to be be detached and impassive so that they can write everything accurately to what truly happened no matter what light it paints on their patrons or even themselves. While Sigunn is dedicated and passionate about their craft, they are a very personable and emotionally engaged person all while leaving you question if there's anything hidden behind that carefully placed grin.

Additional Characters There is a wide range of characters depicted in The Rising Night that are not just the RO cast that you will get to know and even influence throughout the story itself. These are a few of them that you will get to know alongside many others to come.

Koske Ichante Male Former captain of the guard for Montseignant's elite and a past lover of Wilorin's, they now work as the right hand man to WIlorin's underground faction working against Gahliarch's nobility and political system. The few soldiers that were under his tutelage at the time of his dishonorable discharge from the Court now work as a task force under Koske that sweep the streets and protect those that can't protect themselves and bring back those looking for asylum from persecution. Just as stubborn as Wilorin, Koske and Wilorin deal with each other in a familial bantering manner however they know that they would do most anything for each other.

Beckett Female A street rat that was one of the first that was found and brought in by Wilorin and Koske's refugee asylum, she was quick to bring in the other children of the street until they became a formidable force of thieves and spies that began helping the refugee's by bringing back supplies and news while they stole from high society to survive. Beckett’s trust is hard earned and impossible to win back, they have learned who and what they want in their life early and have no qualms with cutting out what harms them or the others they care for. Making her a devout friend but a dangerous enemy. Beckett is also sarcastic and dry being the ringleader of her little group of thieves certainly made her a little prideful and a tiny bit greedy with a slight superiority complex but she is quick to be put in her place by Wilorin reminding her that she is still a child and can't make demands with a reminder of who makes sure she and her group still have food and shelter for their work.

Jeivanni Male A pirate through and through, his infamy comes from reckless behavior raiding ships coming to and from Gahliarch, outmatching even the best of the naval fleets and racing the sailors of the Island of Rhes in playful competition. Jeivanni is not often one to do things for others, indulging in selfish endeavors as they are known to work with the highest bidder for their time. A natural scallywag and flirt, they have no real honor and are often reprimanded for their short sighted goals and needs. However underneath most of that Jeivanni does have genuine interest in ensuring Gahliarch and its citizens have a better future, not necessarily the Magai but it falls under the same category, but they have never had much opportunity other than pirating off of Gahliarch’s nobility to do anything, so he is interested in helping by being the one to secretly bring Eowulf and Sigunn from the Island of Rhes back into Gahliarch for the start of their revolution. Although he tends to cover that interest in sloughs of self praise and saying he simply “wants to go down in history”.

ENDNOTE: While The Rising Night is a passion project of mine, please keep in mind that it is not a full time job that I can focus on 24/7 and it is in its early stages, as much as I would love to focus solely on this, updates will be slow while I am finding a suitable balance working on this alongside my actual lifestyle and work but the blog will be active for questions, sneak peaks, drawings and other fun stuff.

implosion at the end of the world

implosion at the end of the world is an upcoming interactive novel about horrible coping mechanisms, demons, and all the drama that comes with being in your twenties…

content warnings for drug use (and drinking!), stalking, sexual content...! (plus more? i still need to outline anyways...) 18+ readers only!

you are an average 25 year old… or at least you’re sure you are. By now, it would be very embarrassing to continue making being an orphan your entire personality; even though your parents did disappear when you were 12. That’s basically old news though, you’re still working on the residual trauma with your therapist.

There’s just one thing though, ever since then, you’ve gained strange… abilities. You’ve always thought they were quite unhelpful. You can never activate them consistently, even now. They only seem to appear when your emotions are quite strong.

It gets worse, though. You have a demon attached to you. And you have no idea how to get rid of it. Nothing you’ve tried so far can get rid of it, and it keeps implying that its targeting you on purpose. To what end, you’re scared to think about that. Even though you have a good guess. Surely now, it would be good to mention your stalker, too. It’s seriously only wednesday…
