Eros and Psyche IF

TAKE MY SOUL is an 18+ IF game being written in Twine. It's a retelling of the famous story of Eros and Psyche, just... with a few new added twists and turns!

Your sisters married off quick, you didn't. It was hard, harder than necessary for your parents to marry you off. Everyone seemed to kneel at the presence of your beauty but ended up never wanting to stay long enough for something to form.

You were practically a trophy for rich nobles to flaunt around. Cupid had failed you with this one.

Until one night, you felt a prick at your side, a rush of cold air, and suddenly your life flipped upside down when your parents came back to the castle with upsetting news about the rest of your life (or maybe the end of it?)

Customize YOUR own Psyche! Play as female, male, non-binary; straight, bisexual, pansexual, gay; asexual, and even, touch-averse! What hobbies should you have? What beliefs? What religion?

Follow the way the myth is supposed to unfold, or break away and create what you think should happen. Who said the minor god needed to get the person?

Find love in Cupid, or maybe even their mom?

Play as quite literally, one of the most beautiful people roaming Earth

Deal with your two obnoxious older sisters who only want to flaunt their husbands in your face

Enrich yourself in a story filled with new paths at every page and a whole ton of flavor text!

Have the occasional switch of POV, with the starring guest of Aphrodite, the Orcale?, and even your own love interest

CUPID

The god of love, albeit a minor one, but a god nonetheless. You've never seen them, as Eros likes to stay hidden whilst casting their arrows. But, from what your tutors teach you, they have these massive angel wings that preen out whenever they get into something mischievous. Cloth wraps around their naked body, Eros doesn't leave much to the imagination. However, in some readings, Eros is depicted as a female with hip-length black hair, while in others, the male version likes to keep it cropped and out of his way.

this is a draft! more romances may be introduced in the future, but currently, im sticking with Eros

DEMO COMING MAY 2ND!

[jumpstart-if]

You're dead. Or, at least, you should be. You remember what it felt when the bullet pierced your chest, the blood rushing out too fast, too much to stop. The man in red smirking above you. And yet, here you are. Alive. Safe in bed. One week before the day of your death.

Redo; Rewind is a story about time. Of an ordinary person working an ordinary office job. Sure, you might work for an info broker and, sure, you sometimes (often) commit acts of corporate espionage for said job, but that's just business.

This is something far beyond that ordinary life.

Time travel. It seems you of all people are capable of it. To manipulate time and bend it to your will. It may not be something you asked for, but you need it now more than ever.

Someone wants you dead. And they've already succeeded once. You can't allow it to happen again.

(Please note that Redo; Rewind is currently rated 18+ for depictions of violence/death, references to drug and alcohol use, explicit language, and heavy themes.)

Play as a customizable MC! Choose your MC’s appearance, gender, skills, and more!

Romance, befriend, or antagonize any of the 3 romance options.

Learn how to master your time control ability and use it to your advantage.

Avoid past mistakes and inadvertently come up with new, much worse ones!

Try not to die. Again. And again. And again...

Victor/Victoria Zhang [M/F] - Your boss and owner of VZSystems, the front for their true work as an info broker. Clever, professional, and cold—a classic business major. That's how they appear, anyway. Having worked for them for sometime now, you know that, despite their intimidating appearance, they hide a much softer side underneath. Will you maintain the status quo as employer and employee, or will you cross the boundary set by your positions?

August Astaire [M] - Hitman, assassin, whatever you want to call him, the man's a killer. That much is clear after he put a bullet through your chest. But is that all there is to him? As arrogant and cruel as he seems, you can't help but wonder if there isn't more to him than meets the eye. Maybe if you play your cards right you could even turn an enemy into an ally. But, even if he plays for your team, how much can you really trust him?

Amara Ingram [F] - Your coworker of about two months now. You don't know her well yet, but she seems genuinely kind, with a good sense of humor and a sharp mind. Since being hired, she's quickly earned her place, proving to be an invaluable asset with her skill in engineering and programing. Undoubtedly, someone you're glad is on your side, but could your feelings for her extend beyond the professional?

[Demo] - Coming Soon! (Late March - April)

Update Wordcount: 59,904 Total Wordcount: 114,296

Finally, the chapter one (part one) update is here! I've been fighting tooth and nail against my own perfectionism, but my partner assures me that the chapter is good and I think I'm finally happy with where it's at. In this update you can:

Wake up!

Have a conversation with your host (Jay, Ravi, or Dr. Jones)

Go for a drive!

Return to the lake, or check out a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

Eat Breakfast! Meet Beck & Perri!

And that's it, nothing else weird will happen at all, I promise <3

There's a good amount of branching in this one. Three starts, two distinct middle paths, and it all comes together at the end. Because of that it might feel a little shorter than its almost 60k words (somehow the edit made it longer this time???), but I'm feeling good with the length.

Apologies in advance, but you'll need to start a fresh save for the update. I ended up changing the variables in the prologue quite significantly. Additionally, the content warnings page has been updated for chapter one, part one, and can be found here. Feedback is always welcome! My askbox is open, and the forum post for the WIP is another great place for feedback. That can be found here. Thank you so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

[jumpstart-if]

You watch. Wait. Try to hide your boredom as you keep your eyes on your mark.  Unfortunately, this is part of the job too. Long waiting. Endless stakeouts. A million wasted moments, spent crouched low. Out of sight, out of mind. A ghost haunting the living.

chapter two.

this one's for the jax & orla stannies <3

start a poly route if you're into them!

echo is once again snarky

vipers territory is teased

you'll get to flirt with danger in more ways than one

note: unfortunately you'll be most likely reset to the beginning of chapter one bc I had to change some code in that area that becomes relevant in this chapter

progress.

Cipher - The Mastermind real name: xxx xxx

Cipher is a brilliant and enigmatic leader, exuding an air of calm confidence even in the face of adversity. With a strategic mind, he often thinks several steps ahead, playing a complex game of chess against the corporations. Cipher is intensely private, revealing little about his personal life and motivations. His past experiences have left him with a sense of betrayal, driving him to dismantle the very systems he once served.

Cipher embodies a sleek and modern aesthetic. His attire consists of fitted, tech-infused clothing that seamlessly integrates with the cyberpunk fashion of NeoPlex. Cipher's hair, a stylish mix of dark hues, is carefully tousled and pulled back into a bun, gives him a charismatic look. Augmented reality tattoos, visible on his hands and neck, pulse with digital patterns as an outward manifestation of his connection to the digital realm. Cipher's eyes, a piercing shade of blue, reflect a sharp intellect and a determination to reshape the future.

Specter - The Infiltrator real name:

Specter is the embodiment of adaptability and resourcefulness. A charismatic and quick-witted individual, he excels in navigating the intricate webs of corporate espionage. Specter has a rebellious streak and a sharp tongue, often challenging authority. Despite a tough exterior, there's a sense of loyalty to the Codebreakers and a personal code of ethics that guides their actions.

Specter is a figure of stealth and agility. His tan silhouette is slender but fit, and he moves with a feline grace. Dressed in sleek, form-fitting dark attire, Specter's attire includes a hooded jacket with reflective patterns that disrupt facial recognition technology. However, underneath, he usually sports a tight black shirt. His gray eyes betray a glint of rebellious determination. Tattoos of circuitry wind around their cybernetic-enhanced legs.

Aegis - The Hacker real name: xxx xxx

Aegis is the moral compass of the group, with a strong sense of justice and an unwavering commitment to ethical hacking. She is very calm under pressure, always seeking diplomatic solutions before resorting to confrontation. Aegis values cooperation and views technology as a tool for liberation rather than control. Despite her sometimes stoic demeanor, she carries a burden of guilt from her past.

Aegis carries an air of calm determination. Her attire consists of a mix of practicality and functionality, often wearing a jacket adorned with patches of digital circuitry. Aegis has cybernetic enhancements visible along their arms, seamlessly integrated with their natural form. Her blue eyes, when not obscured by her brown bangs, reflect a mixture of resolve and compassion. Aegis' appearance is deliberately unassuming, allowing her to blend into both corporate and underground environments.

Reverie - The Switcher real name: xxx xxx

Reverie is a free spirit with a creative and vibrant personality. They find solace in the virtual realms they create, where imagination knows no bounds. Reverie is both the heart and the whimsy of the group, injecting a sense of wonder into their often dark reality. Despite their playful nature, Reverie is fiercely committed to the cause and possesses a deep understanding of the power and potential risks of virtual realities.

Reverie is a vibrant presence, a stark contrast to the gloom of the city. Their clothing is an eclectic mix of colors, adorned with accessories that seem to shimmer with digital patterns. Reverie's hair is a canvas of ever-changing colors that fall along to their neck, reflecting their playful nature. Glasses rest on their forehead, ready to be donned when venturing into the virtual realms. Tattooed circuits weave across their chests and forearms, an artistic manifestation of their deep connection to technology.

[jumpstart-if]

AND SCENE—an 18+ slice of life plunges you, a nepotism baby, into the major spotlight as the lead in a highly anticipated movie, navigating swarms of hate, swirling scandals, dating rumours, false tabloid reports, and invasive paparazzi.

Breaking news—the love interest role in Claire White's latest blockbuster finally has a star, and it's none other than [MC], pictured above, the youngest offspring of Hollywood moguls. Brace yourselves for a wild ride as [MC], usually seen in their parents' flicks, takes on a meatier role in one of next year's most hyped movies.

But hold the popcorn—whispers on the red carpet suggest [MC]'s previous filmography is more "meh" than marvellous.

Is this casting coup the pinnacle of Hollywood nepotism, or will [MC] flip the script and prove they're a force to be reckoned with? Love them or hate them, one thing's for sure: this star-studded spectacle is about to kick off, and only time will spill the juiciest deets straight from the set.

So, grab your shades, folks, because this Hollywood rollercoaster is just getting warmed up and PinkCelebTea will report every step of the way—you know how it is!

View comments

NEXT UP: Our insiders spill the tea—L Alvarez ain't exactly doing cartwheels about acting alongside what they're dubbing an 'untalented and undeserving' co-star. Trouble behind the scenes already?

# Choose the movie genre & title + those of your previous 4 films. # Customise your MC & public persona. # Navigate drama in front and behind the screen. # Shoot the movie cover & go on press tour. # Prove you're more than just a nepo kid...or don't. # Romance one out of four love interests. # Maybe even snag a few nominations by the end!

THE CO-STAR [M/F]—Louis/Luna Alvarez.

Appearance: 6'0. Brunette with curly hair (short for m, chest-length for f), pale skin and dark brown eyes. Signature style includes a white shirt/blouse, top buttons undone, and loose pants. Always impeccably dressed, with a flair for full-on glamour on special occasions, such as the red carpet. Personality: Reserved and quiet. While not everyone can pull off that demeanour, they do it flawlessly. Fans absolutely adore their composed exterior, noting, "it adds to their mystique."

THE MAKEUP ARTIST [F] — Red.

Appearance: 5'7. Long ginger hair, tanned skin adorned with freckles, and green eyes. Often dressed in skintight black or dark attire, with a scarlet shade coating their lips. Personality: Red exudes calm confidence with a soft-spoken demeanour, yet she's not one to be underestimated. She holds herself in a thoughtful, sensual, and quick-witted manner.

THE BARTENDER [M/F] — Zayn/Zara Lao.

Appearance: 5'11. Brunette with wavy hair (short for m, just below shoulders for f), tan skin, brown eyes, and a distinctive left brow slit. They've also got tattoos all over their body. Since the club gets hot quickly, you'll usually find them in something small and non-constricting, like a vest top and a pair of jeans. Personality: Unapologetically outspoken, they don't hold back. Blunt yet surprisingly charming, they've become somewhat of a local favourite in the area, rubbing shoulders with the right kind of people.

THE RIVAL [M/F] — Phoenix Ryder.

Appearance: 5'11. Black tightly curled hair (short for m, long for f, & often styled differently), dark skin, and brown eyes. They sport a 90s-inspired style—often seen in loose-fitting denim jeans, a breezy shirt/crop top, and adorned with silver rings. Personality: Suave, charismatic, confident, and a touch cheeky—checking all the Hollywood boxes. As noted by many, "a legend in the making."

INFERNO IF

Synopsis

Hundreds and hundreds years ago, you escaped from your trapper with the help of your best friend. You went through hell in the hands of your trapper and the only way you and your friend had gotten away was by opening a gate to another world.

A barren empty world, you couldn't stand the emptiness but were too lazy to do anything about it directly so you created the Source. An enigmatic and unseen entity (or not) that went on to create the entire world as people know it now.

You finally rested for a long time, got your own realm to rule when you got bored of resting, had many lovers and eventually went on to have six ungrateful kids with your best friend still standing firmly by your side through everything and everybody lived happily ever after right......?

No.

PLOT

The world in inferno is very similar to our own except from the fact that everything and everybody exists!!.

Olympus ✔️

Hell ✔️

Heaven ✔️

Norse ✔️

Odin ✔️

Yomi ✔️

Amaterasu ✔️

Inferno (your realm) ✔️✔️

Tons of other realms not mentioned ✔️

THEY ALL EXIST, and just like the ways humans like to fight gods do too! that's why peace keeping laws exist but never mind all that, they don't really concern you; everybody's scared of you! After all they fear what they do not know and plus there's a certain fear that comes with knowing that the person that created the world lives right among you and is not some ethereal divine being.

Just like the way humans have countries, the world of inferno has realms, each realm different from the other. Olympus is a different realm from heaven, and hell is a different realm from the above mentioned two. (The human realm is a different realm entirely).

Inferno is a different realm from the above mentioned three! You found inferno and you've been ruling it since forever alongside your kids and bestfriend peacefully and successfully, infact the media absolutely love you.

That is until a recent string of murders and sightings of things that aren't normal at all start showing up not just in your realm (well majorly in your realm) but in other realms too and worst of all you think you know who's responsible.

Worst of all Hera has picked now of all times to beg or drag (depends on your receptiveness to the idea) you into an arranged marriage with hades, supposed god of the underworld to save him from an obsessive Persephone.

Persephone has fallen madly in love with hades at first site or so the gossip blogs reported but ever since then she has been following him around madly and has refused to back down, she has somehow convinced her mother Demeter and Demeter has somehow convinced Zeus to bind the two (Persephone and hades) together in marriage.

Hades does not want that and hera cares too much for her brother to subject him to that, Zeus is pompous and listens to no one and Persephone is so madly in love and obsessed, she refuses vehemently to see reason and even swears to crush down anybody that takes hades from her.

The one person they have no choice but to listen to....YOU. you do not take part in underworld politics and definitely do not lord the fact that you created the world over them but people will always fear what they cannot understand.

You play as an mc juggling all these messes plus the fact that you have six kids (some grown, some not) but most of them ungrateful nevertheless or maybe you're just the ungrateful one.

(p.s despite the lighthearted tone with which I have narrated the plot and synopsis, you will play as an mc with some serious issues, mc has been through a lot and that is reflected in the facade they put up, the way they behave, the way they treat their kids e.t.c. But of course you can change all that.)

FEATURES

Play as a man, woman or non-binary.

Indepth customisation of your MC's appearance.

Choose the facade you have put up, are you generally known to be cold,stoic and harsh or friendly and always with a smile for every body.

Make choices that will affect you, your personality and everyone around you.

Will you depend more on your physically strength, your silver tongue, your wit or your magic.

Have social media! You even get to be verified on all platforms. (P.s gods social media is interesting).

Investigate and find out who's responsible for the murders and how to stop them.

Get better mentally 💪

Lord over the peace keeping assembly meeting or don't if you don't want to.

Bond with your kids and correct all the mistakes you've made.

Rule your realm.

Find love among 4 romance options, 2 gender locked male and 2 gender selectable. (More Ros may be added at a later date but these are the ones available for now).

And tons of other stuff I can't remember now sorry. I'll try to add more when I remember.

CHARACTERS

Hades(M)(RO): Your betrothed and eventual husband. Hades is polite..too polite you'd say, he's always thinking two steps ahead, always with a smile on his face and and an absolute favorite of the media. And now he's obsessed with you. He wants to help you he says, he wants to fix you he says, he wants you to go to therapy he says, you say hades is the one who needs help, you say hades wants to fix you to fix himself. There's a certain glint in his anyways that says he's been through some shit.

Rainbow(RO)(M/F): The slave: Rainbow is the nicest, brightest, clumsiest person you'd ever meet. He always has a smile on his face for everyone including you. He doesn't mind the fact that you scream at him or scold him or swear at him, he's bottom of the food chain after all and you... you're on the top, you're a god. What could a god like you possibly want with an imp that can't even speak to you without stuttering, speaks English messily and refers to himself in the third person constantly. You'd be mocked to hell by the other gods, there's no way a relationship like that could work right?, And besides he has the most stupid name you've ever heard even more stupid than your kids name and that's saying something.

Light(RO)(M): your deranged best friend and right hand man right from day 1. You've know light all your life and he's been with you every step of the way. He knows you like no one does and understands you like no one does or some he thinks. You've never looked at light romantically until now or maybe you've always had a crush on him who knows. Detached,calculative and intelligent with a soft spot for you and the kids.

Micheal/Michelle (RO)(M/F): M is interesting to say the least. They're an archanngel that you had (in a drunken mess) agreed to be your assistant and now they won't leave you alone. They feel like you have a lot to teach and want to learn everything from you. M becomes even more invested in your life after the god of heaven makes M heaven's official representative and investigator to assist you in the murders. They're charismatic, pesky and annoying. Will you let them get closer or push them away.

NOTE: Imps are last on the food chain and are majorly sold and bought as slaves. they're like kids mental wise and grow slowly mentally, 50 years in imp like is comparable to a 10 year old kid, so they're quite slow and very clumsy to the extent most can't even speak proper English without messing it up but they're also the kindest,purehearted beings you'll ever meet. I'll emphasis more on the creatures in the underworld another time.

Your kids

Aire(M)(??hundreds?): your oldest and probably the smartest, rude, sarcastic and closed off. Ruler of ledorah, the capital of inferno.

Royal(M) (??hundreds?): your second oldest and head of your armies, quick to anger, loyal to a fault and defensive as fuck. Likes to mock you.

Alexandros(M) (22) : your third, ruler of Moonlight. Quiet, observant and charming, the media darling for a reason.

Moon(M) (19): your fourth, second in command of the armies and gatekeeper of denihel (inferno's prison). Cold, calculating and detached but with a soft spot for family. (Sometimes mocked and called gojo the character from jujutsu kaisen because he has to tie his eyes like gojo).

Stormy(M)(14): your fifth, lazy and snack stealer of the house but very charming and manipulative when he wants to be.

Mason(M) (8): your youngest and probably the laziest but an absolute favorite of everyone. Mason is cute,perfect and looks up to everyone in the house, even you!.

18+

Trigger warning: swearing, mentions of suicide and sexual abuse, shitty parenting, gory details.

This post is subject to change and editing at any time because there's a ton of stuff I should've added but forgot about.

Thanks.

“WELCOME TO CRETACEOUS ISLAND.”

DEMO: TBA

NOTE: While I am training as a palaeontologist, I do not claim to be an expert. Therefore, although I will be conducting research into portraying more accurate dinosaurs, there will be possibly be discrepancies or inaccuracies either due to my own research or the lack of (accurate) data available.

-> SYNOPSIS <-

Cretaceous Island is based on the Jurassic Park/World franchise. You will step into the role of the head T-Rex keeper.

You’ve been working as a T-Rex keeper for over ten years now and every day is as interesting as the last.

Unfortunately, not even looking after some of the deadliest creatures in the world was enough to prepare you for the carnage that was about to unfold.

When the system goes down and the dinosaurs escape with evacuation impossible, it’s up to you and a ragtag team to restore order and protect both man and dinosaur.

-> ROMANTIC OPTIONS <-

GRAY/GRACE COLLINS [M/F] - Your big boss is cool, calm, and ruthless. It is well known that they’re not someone to cross, however, they seem have a soft spot for you which some might consider strange considering they also happen to be your ex-fiancé(e). [Poly with Nikolaj available].

LEE MIN-SUN [M/F/NB] - As Operations Manager of the Island, Lee is no-nonsense, grumpy, and has no real time for the corporate side of things that xe’s forced to deal with, but xe has a heart of gold under all the bluster and would do anything to protect those that xe cares for. [Poly with Aija available].

NIKOLAJ OLESEN [M] - He’s your best friend and the embodiment of the term ‘golden retriever energy’. He’s also the head raptor keeper. You’re not entirely sure how those two things go together, but it seems that you’re about to find out. [Poly with Gray/Grace available].

CIERRA DE LA ROSA [F] - A tourist that is vacationing on the island for the third time. You’ve met her a handful of times during those visits, but you haven’t found out much about her beyond her name and the fact that she’s one of the most beautiful women you’ve ever seen.

AIJA MISHRA [NB] - Highly intelligent and more at home among computers than people, Aija is a techie who works in the control room. They’re one of the friendliest and sassiest people you’ve ever met, but, in a crisis, there’s no one you’d rather have on your side. [Poly with Lee available].

-> FEATURES <-

Customise your mc (gender, pronouns, appearance, personality, etc).

Five romance options to fall in love with and two poly options.

Story-driven IF coded using Twine.

Interact with staff, guests, and most importantly, dinosaurs as you look after the T-Rexes and attempt to deal with the biggest crisis the park has ever dealt with and try not to get eaten in the process.

Cuddle with some baby dinosaurs.

-> STATS <-

Personality stats are pretty similar to most other IFs. They will include kind/grumpy, bold/shy, reckless/cautious, genuine/sarcastic, reserved/energetic, and friendly/stern. If you have any suggestions, feel free to lmk.

Skill stats will include intelligence, charisma, marksmanship, agility, and science and technology,

-> WARNINGS <-

This is an 18+ wip due to blood and gore, character and animal deaths, explicit sex (optional), explicit language, medical procedures, violence and injury, and potentially body horror.

I recently stumbled on evermount and I looove the premise. Do you have any favorite dystopian IF games (or any romance focused)? Also I looovee the filipinx representation! definitely don't get alot of those!

cheers! <3

thank you!!🧡 as a poc myself, I like to make sure to include various backgrounds in all my work! I must admit, I don't think I have played many dystopian IF games. I mostly just read traditional books or watch films/shows, but here are some of my faves:

Scout - dystopian! I love everything about it. the first time I read it, I went down a rabbit hole, it was bad. (I’m still very much obsessed) it’s currently on hiatus, but I still come back to it every now and then (Gage & E <33) -> @/anya-dev

Golden Rose - I actually reread this a few days ago (great timing, anon) and it is beautiful. not dystopian, but wow the writing is stunning, and the romances are SO incredibly well-written, I am struggling on which to choose but Alain and Hadrian have my heart🫶 -> @/anathemafiction

The Abyssal - not dystopian, I know, but I’m an absolute sucker for Sol and the story! and an update is looming around the corner, so I recommend!! -> @/theabyssal

Exiled from Court - I also recently played this and that’s a good one too! there’s a lot of potential for angst on Harry’s route, which I’m sooo excited for aahaha -> @/beeanca-writing

Infamous - the interactions, everything! as someone who’s held dozens of concerts in the living room, growing up, this is like a dream come true hehehha (I’m sure you’ve already read it, but I had to mention it!) -> @/infamous-if

apologies, not much dystopian going on here, but these are some I enjoy! :)

[jumpstart-if]

You’re a mercenary, gun for hire, assassin, information extractor, delivery person – call it what you want, because the people that hire you for your services don’t give much of a shit what you call yourself as long as you actually get them what they want.

Your last delivery ended with you – or rather the body you have decided to take over that day – as well as your delivery getting killed. The boss is pissed now and demands you fix your mistake or else you’ll be a head shorter. Not really a look you think you can pull off so you set out to fix what you fucked up, if it just weren’t for that mask wearing asshole that wants to cut your adventure – and life from the looks of it – short.

REMEMBER, YOU WILL DIE is an interactive novel playing in the fictional city Vapolis, where you take on the job as a mercenary with a very special ability, looking to find out who has their deadly sights set on you.

gender & sexuality choice

four unique romance options, including one whose gender you can decide

a club called saints & sinners (yes, really) that becomes your second home

and the choice to wear heart-shaped sunglasses all day and if that doesn’t interest you, I don’t know what will

ORLA [ female ] your boss and the owner of the saints & sinners. orla has been around for as long as you can remember, always working from the safety of her club und gathering as much dirt on people as she can get her hands on. she never tells you what she does with the info she has, but if you know her at all, you can guess why no one tries to run her off the streets of vapolis.

JAX [ male ] as bouncer of the saints & sinners and right hand man of orla, jax knows what is going on in the dark underbelly of the city. he is the man you call when it is time to get rid of a body or you need extra firepower, seeing he is almost as mysterious as he is good with a gun in his hands.

ROYAL [ non-binary ] royal is a little bit of everything. bartender and hacker, they know how to track you down wherever you are. often underestimated, they have learned to see the positives in flying under the radar and are incredibly good with a SocialLink in their hands and a couple of minutes of uninterrupted time.

DANTE/DELILAH [ gender cust. ] only having recently met them in this life, you are not yet quite sure what to think of them. there’s a certain darkness in their mismatched eyes you grow to recognize in your own.

THE MERC [ main ch. ] taking on the role as the merc in vapolis, you are somehow infamous for your approach to jobs and are never out of work. you might be a terrifying character on the streets of vapolis, but you’re by far not the deadliest.
