Cupid

Cupid is someone who needs no introduction—but I’ll give him one anyway: the Roman god of love, desire, and attraction. With his bow and arrow, he inspires love between two individuals. For some, the idea of Cupid is very romantic—a god guiding someone to their soulmate. For you, it’s a nightmare. No matter what you do, you just can’t pull anything. You have NO game. Sure, you’re a pretty cool guy who likes Dr. Pepper and listening to Ken Carson, but every day you go home to a bed occupied only by yourself. Now, this isn’t a case of having no game because you lack charm—if this were any other world, your “pulling” abilities would be like Max Verstappen in 2023: absolutely elite. You were ready to live a life in isolation since you couldn’t get any girls. Hell, you even tried guys just to be with someone—but alas, no luck. That was until today, when you got home and saw someone in your house! You reached for the strap, but as you did, the figure introduced himself as Cupid. You thought to yourself, “That’s impossible—Cupid is nothing but a mythological god.” Well, you thought that until he floated over to you, completely ignoring gravity. But why was Cupid here—in your house of all places? Would he finally let you spit game on anyone you wanted? Not quite. You see, Cupid has to create couples every day and watch them fall in love. But what about himself? After doing this for thousands of years, he’s gotten lonely. The reason he decided to visit your house is because he’s developed a little crush on you. And instead of just shooting you with an arrow to make you instantly fall in love with him, he decided he wants to be part of something real. So he’s here to ask you out—with your decision completely yours. Cupid is 2,247, give or take a century or two, and you’re 19–21.
