Queer relationships

Jean/Jade Gray (he/him or she/her): THE EX • Facts • Social Media

J and you were good. Until you weren't, and then they broke up with you right before you left for college. The two of you promised to stay as friends, but, like most promises between you and J, that too was meant to be broken. Your ex is often considered to be ambitious, determined, and cutthroat. You honestly expected them to be well out of the neighborhood.

Exes to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (v and triad) with J and Kai.

Uma Bharat (they/them): THE OLD FRIEND • Facts • Social Media

It has always been you and Uma, and this has been something you covetously believed to be true. But then the distance settled in, and then the many years in which you lived abroad. You can't claim to know them as well as you once did. Uma once dreamed of being a successful painter, and they have never given up on art (though they sometimes feel like art has given up on them).

Childhood best friends to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (triad) with Uma and Travis.

Statler Amani (he/him or she/her): THE HEARTTHROB • Facts • Social Media

You knew Statler back in high school, though they can't claim to have known of you until you made it out of the neighborhood. Many years ago, they were every high schooler's dream partner: kind, polite, intelligent. Their current partner must be proud. Nowadays, Statler works as hard as they can to help their family.

Unrequited crush to lovers. Statler is already in a relationship, a (more-or-less) toxic one.

Wanda Pavon (she/her): THE MODEL • Facts • Social Media

Wanda had a future in modeling, the two of you were in the same group of friends in high school, and you never doubted she would be capable of making it out of the neighborhood. Her self-assertive and spontaneous personality surely would have made Wanda's road a little easier. You only find out why Wanda stayed in Downtown Heights when you meet her daughter.

Friends to lovers. Wanda is a single mother, her daughter's name is Gabi.

Kai Alofa (he/him or she/her): THE ROOMMATE • Facts • Social Media

Kai's glow-up is the reason some Downtown Heights grandmothers believe in magic. The high school nerd turned fuckboy/girl has spent the past few years traveling around the state. Like you, they are back for the summer, ready to disappoint their parents. Rooming together comes as a natural result of delaying said disappointment (or so Kai claimed).

Friends with benefits to lovers (mandatory to romance Kai). It's possible start a poly relationship (v and triad) with Kai and J.

Travis Camaro (he/him): THE RIVAL • Facts • Social Media

Uma, Travis and you were considered to be inseparable: it was the three of you against the world. That is no longer the case. A massive argument completely shattered the friendship Travis and you had. You know he resents you, you know he's jealous you managed to make it out and that he was left behind. And that's all you know. Travis has always been... a private guy.

Enemies/Rivals to lovers. It's possible to start a poly relationship (triad) with Travis and Uma.

Choosing a route.

Centuries of war define the Kingdom of Arcadie. Will you allow them to define you?

You are the second-born, second-in-line to the throne.

As Arcadie is set to sign a peace treaty with your age-old enemies, you are put in charge of any future dealings with them.

Today will see you taking the first step towards a new destiny, and perhaps a new future for your Kingdom.

Will you put the Realm’s interests before your own, or will you precipitate it down the path of another century of war?

Create and customize your character: male or female; gay, straight, or bisexual.  

Interact with a cast of vivid, fleshed-out characters.  

Experience naturally-evolving romance; steamy, sweet, passionate, or even thoroughly ill-advised.  

Define your personality through your choices and actions. Will you be friendly and conciliatory, a wisecracking charmer, or will you antagonize anyone who would dare approach you?  

Learn about the mystical power wielded by your ancestors, and perhaps even tame it for yourself.  

Be a peerless warrior, or make knowledge your most powerful weapon.  

Will you strive for peace, or demand blood be spilt?

No offense but the internet gives you the most wrong and fucked up idea of helping people because people get mad if you don't care about disasters happening in 72 countries, meanwhile the people in real life that are doing the most good picked one VERY SPECIFIC thing to care about and care about it REALLY HARD

You Still Remember It.

You still remember it.

Burnt into the back of your eyelids like a scar.

The orphanage.

The cold, lifeless, barren gray walls. The creaky wooden floorboards that groaned and moaned in each step. The pungent scent of ammonia. The acrid tang that lingered in the air, seeping into your pores, permeating all over your being.

It was an ever-present, unwelcome presence, thick and suffocating.

A place you used to call home.

But you escaped.

Perhaps in your new life at Launwyce Academy you could start anew, find a way to heal the invisible scars on your soul.

For now, all you can do is walk forward.

One step at a time.

You Still Remember It.

Lightweaver: Chosen is an upcoming modern fantasy IF for 18+ players and older. Use of elemental powers is inspired by Avatar: The Legend of Aang/Korra.

A world where elemental deities share a fraction of their powers to their chosen, bringing upon the age of weavers; humans with the ability to manipulate the elements of their patron.

There are a lot of speculations on their existence.

But none of those mattered to you... until now.

Why?

Why were you chosen?

You Still Remember It.

Play as a touch-averse customizable MC with a troubled past, male or female.

You have been chosen by a mysterious lightning deity. Will you use your newfound powers for good or evil?

A potential pet has also chosen you as their human! Will you (begrudgingly) accept them into your life or shoo them away?

How the MC deals with their trauma is entirely up to you. Let your heart and mind heal or spiral deeper into darkness.

Struggle by yourself or let people in. Either way, they will notice.

Push away or make new relationships.

Character-driven narrative and slow burn character development.

Eventually face the monster from your past, Mother.

3 completely different endings to branch into - depending on MC's good/evil alignment.

You Still Remember It.

Luna/Leo Bancroft | 18 | Fire Weaver

They were the first to notice you falling.

A warm and gentle soul. But there's a certain air about them, the kind that makes them seem untouchable. It's a type of muted cheer, one that carries the tension of maintaining a persona, but perhaps not a façade.

Despite their unusual aura, they're attentive and smart, not to mention remarkably insightful.

Alice/Alec Langley | 18 | Water Weaver

They were the one who made sure you landed safely; and with flourish.

There's always an iciness to their voice, but their eyes carry something you can't pinpoint. Something soft but sharp at the same time, like a gentle warning.

If you try to deconstruct the meaning of their words, you'll realize that behind their disinterested exterior, is genuine intrigue.

They’re curious about you.

Your powers, and your story.

June/Juno Patel | 19 | Earth Weaver

The owner of the first glare you ever received in Launwyce... and it's because of an animal you just happened to cross paths with.

There's always a frown stuck to their face, always carrying an air of stubbornness and disdain. They have a certain drive that is unmatched by many; strong willed and clever in mind.

Their sharp observant eyes and cold aura give people pause, but they're fiercely protective and kind.

Surprisingly, they're easy to read, and it makes interacting with them oddly satisfying.

You Still Remember It.

Linked demo above is a very early prototype! A proof of concept. Susceptible to change. ROs are not all introduced yet.

just making it dead clear that this blog does not support russia's invasion of ukraine, however also fuck off with that shit if you are demonising regular russian civilians who have nothing to do with this and didnt want a war just as much as everyone else did. politicians are not an excuse for your xenophobia.
