Vespertines: An Interactive Fiction

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…

character customization <3! all the basics! plus neopronouns!! decide what your powers manifest as!

play detective and figure out where your parents went! or dont? i mean, they did abandon you...

play detective but just be nosy. get into mischief. there will be lots of it.

try to exorcise a demon before things get worse up there!

join a secret society (fun!)

absolute silly shenanigans. my brand first and foremost.

soojin choi // 24 (pronoun selectable)

your best friend (and only friend) and roommate. you've know them since you graduted high school. blissfully unaware of your life troubles, but you can tell that won't be for long.

cinnamon roll that looks like a cinnamon roll, etc etc.

always willing to bail you out from jail...!

nayeli amador // 24 (she/her)

your on again/off again girlfriend of..... 10 months...? (bad partner! bad partner!)

currently off, because she is so tired of your shit

other than that she is a very lovely lady.

hopefully nothing goes wrong here.

amvrosiy maksimov // 20-something (he/him)

oh this absolute fucker.

would be the slasher in the slasher film

somehow HE'S noticed your powers, and he has a vested interest in speaking with you.

probably has your best interest in mind?

befriend him or befoe him, or just fuck him, it's all up to you.

châu phan // 25 (they/them)

nayeli's friend

you are vaguely aware of them...

they hate your guts though.

who doesn't.

the demon // !??!?!!! (???/???)

from what you've gleaned, someone has set this demon upon you, and it has one goal in mind, and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

absolutely does not have your best interest in mind. the demon has your worst interest in mind. the demon wants you to fail.

how long have demons been real and who the hell is angry enough to bind one to you?

find out...

...and more!

hiiiii!! my name is mars!

im 22! my pronouns are they/he. this is my first interactive fiction novel. implosion at the end of the world is the final form of my first idea. it's slowly gotten sillier and sillier, from a more scarier demon possession story, to whatever this is. i hope you'll have as much fun reading as i will have writing this.

demo (TBA) // playlist // some other tag...! we're still editing this blog!

The Fall is an interactive novel set within an altered reality from our own; filled with superheroes and villains the like we have never seen (except for on the big screen).

Genre(s): Superhero, Action, Adventure, Romance, and Mystery.

Setting: New York City (USA)

Content Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of death, strong language, alcohol (and possible drug) use, sexual themes, blood and gore, violence, mental manipulation, references to past torture, and tragedy.

NSFW asks are welcomed (within reason) and I’ll try to answer them as quickly as I’m able (when my full time job allows)— they’ll be tagged with nsfall.

The higher you rise, the harder you fall…

It was saying that you were familiar with— an old friend just like the bitter taste on your tongue— as you stare out at the city that used to revere you. The city that used to look towards you in their time of need.

You were their champion….

Their hero…

Now you’re nothing but a husk— a shell— of what used to be.

Their cheers turned to screams as your world crumbled around you; by your own hand. Friends and family turning to enemies and enemies turning to something else.

All because of the saccharine sweet voice telling you that this was the only way to save them. To beat the evil that was coming you had to become something other than yourself.

But could you truly tell where the fabrication ended and the real you began?

Or have you lost everything after all…

Travel the Path of Redemption or fall to the Path of Corruption; each offering unique experiences for your MCs. Will you follow your own conscience after so long? Or will you succumb to the whispered wishes within your mind?

Unite with your old hero team— the one that you helped create— as you try to prepare the city, as well as the world, for a creature that won’t allow survivors.

Speak with your relatively normal roommate— the one that has been pulled into all of this— as you try to wrangle the new direction your life has taken.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, superhero name, gender, sexuality, appearance, superhero costume, and various other things that will appear as the story progresses.

Reconcile with long lost friends, rekindle lost familial ties, or destroy them all completely.

Romance 1 of 5 possible choices that will offer unique experiences to your MCs; one specific RO being available for only a select few MCs.

RO POVs included within the story.

Remember: living is not just about surviving.

Lucian/Lucia Knight - The Mirage [M/F]

32 [6’2” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

“You think that sorry is going to fix everything? You destroyed everything that we built together! Everything that meant something to us you turned to rubble. Sorry isn’t going to fix this. Not this time.”

You hadn’t expected a warm welcome upon seeing them again— after all the divorce was still fresh on both of your hearts— but their detached tone, emotionless stare, and mirthless laugh, struck you harder than you thought. You were so used to playful quips, gentle humming before they swooped in for a kiss, and now it was like you were looking at a stranger. You couldn’t imagine how they must feel looking at you now too.

Isaac/Isabella Hayes - The Blaze [M/F]

31 [5’8” | Hazel Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

“I used to think that I knew you but that all changed the day you turned your backs on us. You don’t do that to people you care for and you definitely don’t do that to family. I-I just don’t know what happened to make you do what you did.”

Your best friend— for as long as you could remember— that has never looked at you with anything but laughter in their gaze; even when you were going through your worst fights. Judgement. Hatred. Would have been better than the look they’re giving you now; confusion. They’ve never questioned you before— always believing in you completely— but now they can’t do anything else.

Kieran/Kiera Prince - The Hunter [M/F]

31 [6’5” | Sapphire Blue Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

“I’m surprised to see you again, sweet thing, I didn’t think you’d ever come back to my neck of the woods. What is it now? Do you want to arrest lil’ ole me? No, you wouldn’t have that look on your face if you did. You need my help don’t you? Come now, sweet thing, spit it out, I want to hear you say you need me.”

A villain that you’ve met multiple times within your years of crime-fighting. Sharp intelligence being hidden behind cocky smiles and flirtatious quips— that can be quite as disarming as the weapons they carry— but one must never lose their senses around them: it may be the last thing you ever do. You may not like calling on them for help but you need everyone you can get in this fight.

Harry/Harley Adler - The Roommate [M/F]

30 [5’5” | Light Brown Eyes | Auburn Hair]

“Do you think you could have told me you did all of this before we signed a lease? What am I supposed to do if you die and the lease isn’t fulfilled yet? So, I guess what I’m saying is, don’t die, ‘kay? It wouldn’t be good for anyone.”

A semblance of normalcy in your otherwise hectic life— with a soap opera addiction and cookie obsession— they’ve been one of the only bright spots you’ve able to look forward to. Especially since they seem to have no idea of who you used to be; small blessings, you suppose. Their horrible puns, sarcastic retorts, and caffeine fueled rants, are something that you’ve cherished greatly.

???? - The Voice [M/F]

“I see everything, dearest one, I promise you salvation if you heed my words. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. Nothing I wouldn’t do to keep you.”

The voice you’ve been hearing within your head for the last two years. You don’t know where it’s from— or why it appeared— but you get the feeling that there is more to it than you simply hearing things. Visions— or nightmares— coming to you while you sleep adding to that conclusion; a gentle touch turning fiery as you awaken with a gasp. You just don’t know what to do with the burning sensation they awaken within you.

Haunted by trauma and the ghosts of your family, you were raised alone by your Aunt Lucia in the south of England. Your family all died in a tragic accident when you were young, and you were there to witness every gruesome detail. Now, as a young 20-something, you claim not to remember their deaths, or that experience at all. Because you don't. Right?

Memories flash by you when you sleep, nightmares choking you in the depths of darkness, bloody details you'd wiped from your mind. But the night is never as bad as the day, where visions and sounds that no one else can see or hear plague your waking hours. Are you haunted or just unwell? Only time will tell.

Now? You're a paranormal investigator with your two closest friends. Known on the internet as the Supernatural Sleuths, you have an up-and-coming Youtube channel and travel the world in search of paranormal mysteries, hoping to one day prove that this world isn't all it appears to be.

One day, your friend Marzena finds the latest story for you to follow. A woman has been found murdered on the outskirts of a forest in a secluded part of Ireland. No one knows who she is, and nobody has claimed the body. The closest village feigns ignorant. Apparently, this woman is a ghost. Worse still, there are reports that the woman was covered in occult markings and tattoos.

Will you get to the bottom of this mysterious woman's death? Will you uncover the terrifying secrets hidden within the village of Killoch? Or will your own demons consume you before you get the chance?

It looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

Customisable MC: choose your name, gender, pronouns, appearance, personality, degree choice, specialism, and whether or not you believe in the paranormal.

Save (or doom) your soul.

Live out your dream as a paranormal investigator and a Youtuber.

Live out the dream of having 2 best friends.

Discover the meaning behind the strange things you see and hear (are you gifted or has your sanity been affected by your intense trauma?)

Uncover the mystery at the heart of the village of Killoch.

Grapple with human evil and supernatural entities.

Still, you can't hold that against them when their wealth is what funds many of your paranormal investigations.

The Believer | Marzena Lipniska-Navarro | She/Her | RO

Marzena has been your friend since you were 15 years old, you've been with each other through thick and thin, through joy and pain. And now you're paranormal investigators together.

The Lady | Mairead Fahy | She/Her | RO

Mairead Fahy is the head of the Fahy family and the lady of the Killoch Manor. She's aloof, yet charming, and even the ghost of her smile has rendered visitors speechless. One of the mysteries you intend to solve in Killoch. Could she be hiding horrors behind that kind mask?

The Pariah | Daithí Fahy | He/Him | RO

The younger brother of Mairead and the lord of the Killoch Manor. Daithí is unpredictable, cruel, and prone to outbursts of rage. You swear that when he smiles, his teeth seem sharper than they should be. But is it possible that there is more to him beneath the surface?

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.

[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

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?

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
