“Who are you?”

“I go by many names.”

Shinigami. Ankou. Hel. Śmierć. San La Muerte. Reaper.

“But you may call me Death.”

Death and Fate have always been entwined.

When Death defies Fate.

Fate abandons Death.

And Death shatters.

Zephite is an interaction fiction where you play as a once revered High Reaper who was deeply connected with death, even by your species standards. With a unique ability, and a fractured soul, perhaps they were correct when they said it was only a matter of time before you fell. When you commit one of the highest offences of your kind, your abilities are sealed and you are banished from your home realm of Zephite to Earth.

But when the Fates are blinded, and the very fabric of reality begins to unravel, so does your carefully constructed façade of humanity.

There’s a monster out there and it’s far closer than you think. But the real question is…

Is it more dangerous than the one inside your head?

Two main branches, with one only being accessible to certain types of MC’s.

Team up with those you used to command to discover who’s attempting to destroy reality as we know it.

Find out why your supposedly human best friend can’t quite look you in the eyes these days.

Take some time to find comfort and support in your adoptive sibling, Kaleb, who followed you from Zephite, and your newly adopted puppy.

Fight the corruption that threatens to overwhelm you or let it consume you.

Fully customisable MC (including name, nickname, gender (cis, non-binary, transgender), pronouns, sexuality (including aro/ace), and appearance (true form and human form)).

Predetermined skills include a proficiency in combat and weapons. Other skills will be determined by the reader.

Option to romance one of seven ROs, or choose from two poly relationships. Rekindle meaningful friendships, and find your family of choice once more (or destroy them all completely). The Secret RO is only romancable on one branch.

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…

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.

GET INTO IT (YUH)!

You’re the star of one of the biggest TV Shows to grace the pixelated screens of the world in a long time. A series set in your own world but an alternate one; so familiar yet alien.

Your character is one of the Afflicted; beings that have visions of what is to come, all muddled during sleep, only the sense of foreboding remaining. Leaving scattered memories and a sickening feeling in your gut. It was a show, the concept and chemistry between the cast, that pulled people in. Launching you into the stratosphere of stardom.

It was only after a small accident on set that everything started to change. You started getting them— seeing them…. visions. But not just any visions.

You were actually in your characters place; transported into the city of Elasora. Where reality and fiction starts to blur.

Will you be able to pull yourself out of your waking dream? Before it becomes your living nightmare?

Features

This story is 18+ for mature themes that will later be depicted in the story. Please be aware of this before you continue on.

Customizable MC; gender, sexuality, name, appearance, maybe even some vices.

Romance 1 of 5 characters that’ll offer varying complexities in your life. (3 being gender selectable.)

Will you start to succumb to the world your world believes is fiction? Or will you stand strong against it?

How will you let your dreams affect your day-to-day life?

Will you let anyone in? How will you explain it?

Will your reality meld with your fantasy?

Nicholas/Natasha Lewis, 31 (M/F)

-The Love Interest-

The onscreen love interest of your character with unparalleled chemistry. Your characters have livened up the show; becoming its very heart. The only problem? They can’t stand you when the cameras aren’t rolling. Something that becomes that much harder to deal with after every dream ends. How can you look them in the eyes that are filled with nothing when just hours before they had been filled with complete adoration?

(Also known as Leon/Lena Stark.)

Russian // Irish // British

Emmett/Emily Campbell, 29 (M/F)

-The Best Friend-

Your onscreen and offscreen best friend. They have stuck by you through the trying tribulations of when your career was first starting. Being their fun loving selves throughout as they gently tease you. You know that they’d always stay steadfast in your corner. Offering you a hand if you needed it. You have high hopes that this will be one of those times.

(Also known as Shawn/Sarah O’Hara.)

Spanish // Italian // American

Oliver/Olivia Allen, 27 (M/F)

-The PA-

One of the newest additions to the set that offers a breath of fresh air. Having been a long time fan before signing onto be apart of the crew; maybe they’ll offer you an insight you haven’t thought of before. Giving you a semblance of an idea, even if it’s just a fan theory, on why this is happening to you.

American // South African

Amelia Harris, 35 (F)

-The Manager-

A woman that might have a serious migraine, or worse, if you don’t start getting your act together. While she may appear cold to some you know that Amelia has your best interests at heart. You were her first, and most treasured, client. You just hope that when you need her most she’ll pull through. Like she always has in the past for you.

German // British // American

Kaidan Zhang, 33 (M)

-The Writer-

Who better to help you then the man who has made the very lore of the world you’re going to? Kaidan is one of the people that can help you make sense of what is happening to you. His warm personality and kind smile doing little to detract from that sentiment. You just hope that he actually believes you. Though you wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t.

Korean // American

Additional Characters

Felix/Fleur D’aureville, 30 (M/F)

-The Villain-

The antagonist of the show that is as deadly as they are beautiful. With a sinister smile and a dark past they’ve fostered quite the following; especially when in comparison to the sunny person that plays them. Someone who would give you the shirt off their back if you asked. A fact that makes it that much harder to connect who you’re used to dealing with, with the character that they play. A character that has become all too real. May become an RO later on.

(Also known as Aiden/Amara Heroux.)

French // Scottish

Helena Martin, 49 (F)

-The Producer-

One of the Executive Producers, who also happens to be your mother, and always makes sure that everything is in order. While she may appear to be aloof on the outside she can be quite caring; especially when in regards to you. Though she’s never been one to give you anything in your career. You had to work for your lead role in the show. Something you’d forever be grateful for.

Angelina Callaway, 40 (F)

-The Director-

One of the best directors in the game; your show was lucky to be able to get her. And while you’ve never been the closest with her, you can tell that she cares greatly for every single person on the set. Unless someone is shirking their duties (then it’d be best to get out of sight). Maybe she’ll offer some guidance in your time of need. Even if she doesn’t know what exactly she’s helping you with.

German // British

Atlas and Benji, 5 and 3 (M)

-The Protection-

The resident guard dogs on set, always there because of your head-of-security, that offer companionship to all those that need it; as long as they get belly rubs out of the deal. You’ll always be safe with these two watching your back.

“So…

It’s a cult?”

“- it’s not a cult”

Devil of a Time is a low fantasy Lovecraftian interactive fiction. You play as a well respected official in your not-a-cult charged with protecting the younger members all while completing your final year of your university degree.

Let’s just hope that no secrets stray to further ears.

The Impaler

The Count

Dracula

Those were the names that were given to you through the ages; mortals laying claim to something that would long outlive them.

The stories, myths, and legends hanging over you like an ever-present cloud— whether they were based on fact or not didn’t matter— as the centuries passed you by. Empires rising and falling like the evening tide before your eyes.

You don’t know the exact event that caused your long rest— you didn’t truly need to— but the boredom that the mortal world brought weighed on your shoulders like the heaviest of objects.

So, you closed your eyes and drifted away; allowing your body to lull itself into a false sense of serenity.

You just weren’t expecting the next time you opened them that you’d be in an entirely foreign place; new smells assaulting your senses that you’ve never encountered before.

All but one that is…

Blood.

However, when you went to investigate— trying to ignore the strangeness of your surroundings— you’re assaulted by a scene you weren’t expecting; a mutilated corpse lay mere feet from you, that didn’t truly phase you, but the odd object pointed directly at your chest and the shout of ‘police’ was certainly quite peculiar.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, bits and pieces of your background, hobbies, and more!

Romance 1 of 5 possible options! That’ll hopefully make your new life a bit more bearable.

Play as a displaced Dracula that doesn’t know what in the hell is going on. Who’s also found themselves as the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Welcome to the 21st Century?

Will you accept these new objects that mortals seem to be so fond of? What is a cellphone? And why does someone want you to call them later?

Adopt a pet to make things a bit easier for your poor self; they’re something that’s familiar at least.

Make sure that you don’t go too long without feeding and, depending on how you do it, don’t get caught.

Find out what the world has now spun your legend as and what they’ve made your kind out to be. What in the absolute hell is Twilight?

Figure out who killed the victim; either because you want to see justice be served or to save your own ass or something in the middle. Choice is yours…

The world may not be ready for Count Dracula to be back but are you ready for what the world is now too?

Victor/Victoria Helsing - The Detective

33 [6’0” | Gray Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

The individual that arrested you in the first place— despite your protests— and who holds a shocking resemblance to a man you once knew; annoying as his attempts at killing you might have been. Of course, you can’t truly blame the steely eyed detective for arresting you— after all you were near a dead body— but did they have to be so skeptical to your explanations?

Flynn/Felicity Palmer - The Doctor

33 [5’6” | Hazel Eyes | Strawberry Blonde Hair]

You don’t think you’ve ever seen a mortal so obsessed with death before— the good doctor notwithstanding— and you especially weren’t expecting the clinical way in which they operated. Confidence exuding from their form as they speak about the scientific facts of the situation but the moment it becomes personal? They remind you of a turtle with how quickly they retreat back into their shell.

Tyler/Taylor Kendrick - The Curator

34 [5’8” | Dark Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

The one in charge of the exhibit that you had woken up in; an individual that seems fascinated with the tales that you tell about your past. Even if they don’t truly believe you’re telling the truth the honest inquires and open questions give you a semblance of an idea that they wish to believe; the pursuit of knowledge is never truly over after all.

Adrian/Ariana Shaw - The Neighbor

30 [5’11” | Green Eyes | Golden-Brown Hair]

Upon moving into your new apartment— a bit of a downgrade from your castle— they’ve been a constant source of help whenever you can’t quite figure out how a new appliance works. With a cheerful disposition, horrible puns, and an all around helpful attitude, you knew that you’d be seeing a lot more of them. Maybe it’ll turn into something more?

Damon/Diana Walker - The Old Friend

32 [6’5” | Steel Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

Someone you haven’t seen in quite some time. Who’s seemed to finally come into their own; from someone who used to trip over their words to a flirtatious heartbreaker. You can’t help but notice, however, whenever you get near they seem to stumble back into their old role. Their words coming out with less suaveness and more quite nerves; you haven’t the slightest inclination why but maybe you’ll figure it out as you get to know them once more.

DEMO TBA

You died. 

The good news? You’re not dead anymore.

Hidden Demon is an interactive fiction set within a world filled with superheroes and villains. Will you find your place among them?

Genre(s): Superhero, Romance, Heist, Action, and Adventure. (It can get dark depending on your choices.)

Setting: Los Angeles, California

Warning(s): This story is rated 18+ for depictions of violence, torture, death, alcohol consumption, (possible) drug use, sexual themes, strong language, blood, and dark themes.

Scenario/NSFW asks are more than welcomed.

Los Angeles is commonly referred to as the City of Angels. Of course, that’s before the sun falls beneath the horizon and the demons come out to play. Less than reputable folk coming out of the woodworks to turn the city into their own playground; free of their masks that the day brings.

You’re among that very crowd; some of them you see as close friends. You weren’t anyone that has truly made a name for themselves— yet— but the person you work for has a presence that no one would ever go up against.

The Morrigan wasn’t one anyone would ever want to cross.

You don’t know what you’d be without them— as you had simply been a broke college graduate when they found you— but you know that they’ve given you more opportunities than many in this city get.

Which is why, when they sit you down and explain their newest plan, you agree without much complaints.

How hard can it possibly be?

Customizable MC: name, nickname (if desired), gender, sexuality, villain name (that some people may not use), hobbies, and more!

Play as the henchman to one of the most feared villains in the Western Hemisphere; a figure that few have ever seen and lived to tell the tale.

Experience flashbacks to the moment(s) that changed your life forever; where you were just a poor, graduated, college student that needed to figure out how to make ends meet.

Will you be the water to your bosses fire? Or will you only fan the flames more?

Help your boss with the crime of the century— their words— as you do other odd jobs to prepare for the big one.

Make sure you don’t stay out too late. You don’t want to have your daily life suffer because of it. Can’t have people questioning you after all.

Romance 1 of 5 possible options; including your boss or clueless roommate.

Make sure you spend some time with your dog, okay? Or you’ll get puppy eyes.

Remember not to get caught! Or it’ll be very awkward when your boss has to bail you out.

Nathan/Natasha Frost - The Morrigan

31 [6’4” | Blue-Green Eyes | Raven Black Hair]

You’ve been working for your boss for about four years now and, within that time, you’ve learned quite a bit about them. Like how they’re actually the CEO of Frost Industries that uses their multitude of connections for their nightly habits. Or how they’re the biggest sap for romance novels. Of course, their cold exterior only ever melts around you but that doesn’t mean they’re any less dangerous. They’re just a tiger lying in wait for the time to strike; you always need to remember that.

Richard/Rosalie Shepherd - The Stranger

32 [6’1” | Slate Grey Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

A friendly stranger that you’ve met in your building a couple times— conversation passing easily between you both— and you can’t help but wonder if anything more could come of it. You also can’t help but feel like you’ve seen them somewhere before; barring the times you’ve seen them waiting for the elevator in the lobby of your building. You just can’t quite put your finger on where you’ve seen them before. Their gentle demeanor seemingly off to you somehow; though you have no doubt that it’s real.

Jace/Jade Cassidy - The Roommate

28 [5’8” | Golden-Brown Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

Your roommate— who also happens to be your best friend— that has no idea what you do during your supposed “night-shifts”. Even when you can see the question in their eyes they never put it to words; instead they simply leave notes for you whenever you get back. Notes that detail various things— laundries done, leftovers in the fridge for you, left a message for you from your mom— you don’t know what you’d do without them. Which is why you haven’t told them what you do; you didn’t want to find out.

Oliver/Olivia Jones - The Enigma

29 [5’10” | Dark Brown Eyes | Light Brown Hair]

Even years after you started working for your boss, you never truly interacted with the other henchman that they employed; at least of the ones that spent any true time with them. Their cold exterior, no nonsense behavior, and biting retorts, was a good deterrent for anyone trying to get close. However, with the new heist being an all hands on deck situation, will you get to know them better than you ever thought you would?

Adel/Adele Michelson - The Federal Agent

30 [6’0” | Hazel Eyes | Dark Auburn Hair]

An investigator that decided the seemingly random chain of events within LA wasn’t actually random. You wouldn’t be too worried about them if it wasn’t for the fact that you kept running into them; seriously when did the feds actually start being competent? With their flirtatious remarks and cocksure grin, you knew that you were in trouble. As you get closer you know you’re playing with a ticking time bomb; will you be able to throw it away before the explosion? Or will you gladly burn in the inferno it causes?

DEMO TBA

Cherry Soda is an in-progress interactive fiction novel about loss, relationships, and the meaning of destiny.

As children, an accident between you and your friend Ryan changed the course of your life forever. Since then, you have transversed the boundary of life and death: your waking moments are haunted by memories of the living and the remnants of the deceased.

The two of you diverged; Ryan began attending elite private academy, and you summarily moved across the country. A phone call years later between the two of ends with you promising to come visit her, a throwaway sentence you thought to be nothing more than a platitude.

Following six months of radio silence, you sense her death before the search team even finds her body. And suddenly, the phone call may have been part of something a lot larger.

Swept up in a whirlwind of the horrific inheritance she left behind for you to uncover, the more you investigate, the deeper the lies and secrets go. A reckless desperation to break the fate that threatened to overtake the both of you had led Ryan down a path of no return. The same path you now find yourself on.

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.

DEMO TBA

THE SATYA SOCIETY is my current project, a slice-of-life visual novel that will be free-to-play, with an optional paid version for extra romance routes available. This is a long-drawn process that I’m excited to share with you all, but to do so, I’ll need you to bear with me! The actual VN will be published through @studioduchess , but since this is my project, this blog is mine to share progress and hopefully gain some interest.

PREMISE?—

Stonewell Academy for Troubled Youth and Adolescence (SATYA) is an off-the-grid reformative boarding school for students from middle school all the way through to college. You are Stonewells newest addition, a 14-year-old ‘delinquent’ that will traverse your way through reform school life for the foreseeable future. As Stonewell ages, so do you — and you find yourself making friends (and enemies) that could last a lifetime. Let Stonewell reform your ways, or rebel alongside your friends and make memories none could forget— if you’re lucky, you may even grow close enough with our cast to form your own secret society…

WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT YOU?—

Because I am a lonesome girl writing a whole ass visual novel while her gap year gives her the free time. Obviously you have every right to scroll past me, but any support genuinely means a lot to me. Likes, reblogs and follows motivate me beyond belief, and I promise I can bring something to you worth following for. I am not asking for financial help yet, I wouldn’t ask for money from anyone without giving them something in return. Until I can provide more of a structured advertisement, all expenses will be paid by yours truly. *crying eyes*

WHERES OUR STEAMY ROMANCE?!?!???—

It is here, my darling dearest. The SATYA Society is rated 17+ for skippable suggestive/sexual scenes later on when everyone is of age. In the free version, you have 2 main romances you can pursue, one male and one female. With the paid version, your romantic interests jump from 2 to 7, with 2 polyamorous routes available within the cast. No romance paths are gender-locked, but some RO’s do have preferences, and will be easier to romance as certain genders. You can set how comfortable you are with physical affection, as well, which will stop/encourage characters to hug, kiss you etc.

HOW CUSTOMISABLE ARE WE?—

I’m gonna be honest, I was definitely thinking of gender-locking your character to make things (a lot) easier for me, and I’m still considering it. But for now, your name, gender and sexuality are completely customisable. You can customise your appearance, personality and even personalise your background before coming to Stonewell Academy. Your family is prewritten and can’t be changed, but you can decide your relationship with them, alongside everyone at the school. My goal with this book was to give y’all great replay value, and I believe I’ve done just that. You can experience two completely different stories with each play through.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU EVEN DONE, YOU SEEM LIKE A DISORGANISED PRICK—

First of all, that’s rude. But I’ve almost finished writing everything. My next step after finishing the writing is to get the cast drawn (I’m adept in my art but honestly if I can afford it I’ll commission someone), get the story coded and put it all together to release. This will take a hell of a while, so don’t get too excited, haha.

WHO ARE YOU?—

I’m Christina :) I’ve been writing since I was 14, and loving visual novels and interactive fiction since 15. I’ve just graduated from high school last year, and am taking a gap year before going off to college. I won’t admit that I used to write fanfiction, and may or may not have gained a real following writing smut on tumblr LMAO… regardless though, I’m really passionate about storytelling, and have some real cool ideas to share.

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT _______???—

Yes. Please please do, I want to share this with you as I write, I promise I’m nice LMAO

ROMANCE CAST!—

FREE VERSION:

Isaac Spence is your main male romance option. He is the glistening sun, as some would say— bright and gorgeous, tall and warm. Isaac is your typical boy-next-door, always on his best behaviour, kind and welcoming towards most, it makes you wonder what he did to get himself sent out to a reform school. If you play as a male, Isaac will be your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, Isaac is dating Courtney Knight, who just so happens to be your other main romance option… 👀

*Full character profile coming

Courtney Knight is not the girl next door. She is an aspiring clothing designer who is just about as entitled as they come. She manages to keep a close group of friends, however, so there must be more to her than just a catty somebody. Courtney expresses her love teasingly, rather than warmly like Isaac. (Maybe that’s why they don’t work out, haha). She is strong willed and very much an independent woman— sure, it takes a while to gain her trust, but you might have a valuable relationship with Courtney if you try hard enough. If you play as a female, Courtney is your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, she is dating Isaac Spence.

PAID VERSION:

Mary DeSmidt is quiet and inconsolable. Rumours float around the school about how such a sweet girl could get sent to the strictest standing reform school. She is the embodiment of kindness, and always willing to lend a helping hand to you. Mary is driven by emotions, and needs a bit more time than others to handle to growing change of life at a boarding school. She also takes a little more guidance when it comes to feelings, and has a more complex romance path than the others.

Harper Vale is… a mayfly. He knows everything about everyone, floats between all the social groups at Stonewell Academy and still somehow doesn’t have a best friend. Courtney tells you he is a compulsive liar, and is trying to ‘manipulate the faculty out of a full ride at Stonewell’, which explains the perfect grades and attendance rates… Harpers romance path is…shaky, to put it nicely.

*Full character profile coming

Coen Day is hard to get to know. They’re always going off on their own, disappearing in the middle of class, not returning until night. Apparently their attendance rates are in the red, but Coen has always been known to run. Coen is quiet, sure, but they’re also loyal and smart. They would never share a secret of yours, or undermine your experiences and aspirations. Befriending Coen is a feat in itself, but one worth doing— Coen is the type of friend one needs at Stonewell. Coen is also asexual.

*Full character profile coming

Priya Hammond is a burning fire, scorching everything in her path. She is loud, capable and Courtney’s all time best friend. Priya has been sent to detention for questioning a teacher’s moral standpoint more times than once, and is very politically inclined. She is truly gifted with her brains, but would much rather search the depths of the internet for trivial facts about a small town in Europe than study for school a moment longer than she has to. Bring up any topic around her, she will know something about it.

*Full character profile coming

Laiken Allard-Rose arrives in the second act, and is Isaac’s childhood best friend. He is energy personified, always looking for an adventure to drag you along or a joke to crack at just the wrong time. Nothing is too daring for Laiken, and you’ll find that forming a friendship with him definitely includes him arriving at your window in the middle of the night to go on an adventure (raiding the school kitchens). Family is the most important thing to Laiken, and will do anything for you once you’re considered his family, whether romantically or platonically. ( i would play his romance route just to experience the dates he would take you on lol)

POLYAMOROUS ROUTES:

* these characters can be romance together or apart.

Laiken & Isaac. Who knew the childhood best friends that may have had heavy crushes on each other growing up would end up romantically inclined… dates with these two are a festival of laughter and love. Isaacs warm presence and Laikens exciting romantic inclination is the perfect combination, and I’m sure the boys could show enough love to you for a lifetime more.

Priya & Coen. These personalities somehow work perfectly when it comes to love. Priya and Coen can be romanced together to create the ultimate game night team… their smarts, Priya’s competitive nature and Coen’s strategical thinking?? Automatic win.

when you’re lonely:

hug something soft. hold it close to your body so it’s warm.

lie down somewhere. learn to love the silence. learn to appreciate stillness.

place your hands on the area that aches. let the warmth of your hands soothe it.

check up on someone else. despite the fears of coming across as embarrassing, unwanted, or whatever other lies your mind tells you. be the friend you need.

create escapes that leave you feeling less empty. music, nature, literature, art, whatever you feel like. you’re alone so you’re free to choose.
