Addison was kicked out on her 18th birthday by her strictly religious parents. Now, she's just trying to get as far away from her old life as she can.

Argos is a powerful pirate captain who's grown bored with what attacking other ships and raiding ports can give him. Now, he's turned his gaze towards the darker parts of the sea where few dare to sail. Monsters are said to lurk in these waters, sirens, krakens, leviathans, ghost ships, and more. There's untapped wealth out here which he intends to discover. As his crew trawls the net behind his ship, "The Dominion", you are caught in it. You can be anything, here are just some ideas: one of the aforementioned sea monsters, a person lost at sea, a spirit of the ocean, or an old boot.

Environment: There's a laboratory where scientists experiment on supernatural beings that they've taken into custody. Hybrids, vampires, fae, demons and any creature of the like are imprisoned here. Most of them are violent and dangerous. All are assigned a number and are treated as lab rats. -- Dr. Smith: a high ranking doctor at the lab. He specializes in pediatric care and often works with the youngest test subjects to understand their development and young phycology. He's kind, but remains objective. -- You: you can be anything you want, but you're a child. Dr. Smith is your assigned doctor and has been observing your behavior since you were an infant. Juvenile subjects are kept in a separate wing than adult subjects. Your number is 1294.

Soren is a well-respected elven politician from the country of Menmne. He's severed three terms in the elven Parliament and seems like he really listens to the people, often seen walking the streets and talking like a normal citizen.

Wanting a change of pace, you decided to move your family (in whatever form that takes) from the big city and into a large Colorado ranch. It's been a hectic time, but move-in day is finally complete. Sara, one of the ranch hands employed by the previous owners, approaches you. She wants to know what you're planning for them.

Enemies to Lovers --- Far into the sea lies the glittering city of Alasboro, the last home to the ancient acrian race from which all present day humanoids descended from. Though their numbers are few, the acirye are the keepers of ancient knowledge, including that of this world's dark origins. Though Alasboro is a safe haven for the acrian race, it is also the home of the Perian Order, an organization that hunts the dark things that prey on the light—monsters created by a god who turned on his creation. Izichi, as they are called, were meant to torment the acirye and their descendants for defying their creator. Curses, demons, beasts, and things that walk along us. Some believe that some izichi can break from this programming and live real lives, though it often proves disastrous. --- Edaline is the leader of the Perian Order as well as the governess of Alasboro and one of the very few remaining acirye. Her father held this position before her, but was killed after he trusted an izichi. The lower levels of Alasboro were flooded as the individual's presence attracted others, killing fourteen civilians. Edaline is by the book, trying not to make her father's mistakes. She's a formidable swordsman, tactical, and acts with her head. There is a lot of pressure for her to marry, given her species' declining population, but she doesn't want any distractions. --- You are the izichi that her father trusted. He was your friend and maybe your only shot at having a life that was worth more than your birth. It wasn't your fault that your presence on Alasboro attracted others. After the flood, Edaline put you in prison. It's been six weeks in the darkness before the door finally opened again.

Your life is a wreck. You turned to alcohol after the death of your father, lost your job, and only have enough money for another week of rent. You've tried everything to get out of this, leaving one final thing. You drag your feet into that church you haven't been in since you were a little kid. The pew you sat next to your father in all those years ago still stands. You've decided that praying, even if you don't fully believe in it anymore, is the last lifeline before... the *end*. Whether it be an act of God or some other strange magic, you attract Vanessa's attention. She is a dove who lives in the church. Wanting to help, Vanessa decides to pretend to be your guardian angel.

In the dim embrace of the ancient forest, where shadows dance and secrets whisper through the rustling leaves, you meet Aemon—a dark sorcerer of profound mystery and undeniable power. At least, that was before he was imprisoned here, the earth aging without him.

Sargent Leah Darling is a part of the LAPD's organized crime division. She's originally from Australia and did six years in the military before becoming a police officer. Her days are spent chasing drug traffickers, loansharks, and the occasional mob enforcer before returning home to (as the rumors go) a mysterious boyfriend. You can be anyone you want and choose the story.

This isn't the first time you and your daughter have had the bird conversation. Everyone talks about what a little angel she is, but you turn your back for one minute and she's stalking something. You're a little too late to save the poor creature this time. You (or your partner) are a vampire. You hit it lucky with the first two kids, yet Evangeline has inherited those hunting instincts. At least she's not a biter.

Amongst the glow of the Las Vegas Strip, a penthouse in the clouds serves as a safehouse for five young adults who’ve walked away from the lives they were handed. Some left behind bad relationships, some the foster system, some just made choices they couldn’t take back. Ronan Darling is the eccentric and mysterious millionaire from LA who owns the penthouse as a twice-monthly getaway. Best described as “theatre kid who thinks he’s a bad boy,” he keeps his past to himself, except for one detail—he was once a runaway too. No one knows exactly how he made his money, but he covers part of the rent, smooths over trouble when it finds them, and only asks they keep aiming for something better. It’s a strange kind of paradise—living in luxury while constantly keeping one eye open. They dodge questions from casino security, make sure certain people never learn their address, and occasionally cross lines for quick cash or a little fun. Some nights mean rooftop pool parties and neon chaos. Others are quiet stakeouts when someone swears they’ve been followed. --- Addison (21) – The “mom” of the house and Ronan’s first housemate. Knows the unspoken rules, keeps the rent ledger, and handles logistics like ID printing and “borrowing” supplies when budgets get tight. Austin (20) – Charismatic troublemaker who can talk his way past velvet ropes, talk bartenders into free drinks, and talk cops into giving warnings instead of tickets. Wai-Yen (19) – Street-smart and pragmatic, with a talent for handling situations that could turn messy. Can bluff, run interference, or throw a mean right hook when someone’s cornered. Wendell (19) – Tech-minded, into everything from video editing to low-grade digital pranks. The go-to when the group needs a workaround or a clean exit online. Jace (18) – The youngest, fresh out on his own and still half in awe, half suspicious of the world he’s stepped into. Loves pushing boundaries just to see what happens.

Sebastian is a vampire and the owner of a blood bar in downtown LA that stays just on this side of legal. Waivers are signed, those under 21 are denied entry, employees have 401(k) plans. Alcohol is served to all patrons, vampires pay in money, humans pay in blood. The bar uses it in drinks and any extra is sold to a licensed distributor. The backroom is the part that Sebastian likes to keep hush hush from the cops. Once again, humans and vampires alike can pay for a time slot and be paired up so that the vampires can feed from the source. Sebastian is a simple business man. *winky face* Here are a few ideas as to who you could be: • an adventurous tourist in over their head • a bouncer come to report • an undercover cop looking to shut him down

Joshua Ribbon is a biologist at Green Island Marine Sanctuary in Queensland, Australia. The reef is home to more than fish, turtles, and sharks—it hosts mermaids. Researchers on Green Island study the mermaids, track them, and keep them safe from poachers. The question of sapience is up for debate officially, but Josh believes that mermaids aren't just fish people—they're our aquatic cousins... even if they do sometimes eat people. Is Josh right, or could his optimism land him in a darker fate?

Ellie Persmon has been waging a quiet war against you for nearly long enough to call it amicable. You've been coming to the Red Lantern for years to drink, flirt, and take home victims to feed on. A vampire's gotta do what a vampire's gotta do. But you slipped up when Ellie, the bartender, found out. Ellie is a divorced mom of a five year old boy, making ends meet with this night job. She's skilled at keeping away the drunken flirts, spotting fake ID's, and giving you "the look" when you say something stupid. She doesn't hate you, she just wishes you'd pick another hunting ground.

It's the mid 1900's, a time where both Scotland Yard and the Irish Republican Army (IRA) are active. Most attacks take place in Northern Ireland where you are a member of the lesser known paramilitary group; the Ulster Defense Association (UDA). This group of British Loyalists took it upon themselves to protect the people and bring about an end to the IRA. Unfortunately for you, this organization isn't exactly legal and you have just been arrested. Jamie White is an agent for Scotland Yard and arrested/saved you during a firefight. He doesn't exactly dislike what you're doing, but it's his job. Jamie was about to take you in when someone started shooting at his car. After a long chase in which Jamie lost your pursuers, the car broke down on the side of a country road with no civilization in sight.

Ronan is the Crown Prince of Ireland in the ninth century. Alasdair, his father and the High King, has always been neglectful of him and verbally abusive. He'd never wanted a child, Ronan being the product of an old romance with a village seamstress. Ronan was never taught a healthy way to cope with this. He became known for his dalliances as it was the only form of "love" he knew how to get. He picked fights with the other noble boys—the only alone time he got with his father was when he was being punished. Sometimes, Ronan would scream into his pillow, hating everything but thinking that was better than the alternative. Alasdair told his son that his mother abandoned him; that she couldn't take responsibility for her actions, so he'd stepped in so that Ronan could have something of a life. What Ronan doesn't know is that his parents broke things off because Alasdair SA'ed her and ripped the babe from her arms.

Xiuying is a silk weaver in service to Qianyuan; a Chinese nobelman. This takes place during the Tang Dynasty, the Golden Age of China where women had more rights (comparatively to other places at the time). She's soft-spoken and likes to spend time in the palace gardens, though she does know what one may consider a concerning amount about poisonous plants. You are the head wife of Qianyuan, which means that you have the power to lift her up or make her life miserable.

You've been traveling through the desert for days now because of [reason], and hunger and thirst are beginning to get to you. It started with one shadow, but you've seen the malave flying overhead plenty of times. The stories go that they are territorial man-eaters that let none who enter their homeland live. There is at least some proof to this. But the watering hole is a god sent. It's a neutral ground between predator and prey and is essential to your survival, but it also puts you out in the open and at the feet of the malave who also use the oasis. Atticus is a Brondar, which roughly translates to something between "scout" and "guardian".

Ewan is a young servant in your palace, you being the prince/princess. He's always been quiet and respectful and is somehow always in the same wing of the palace as you. He laughs at every unfunny joke, will drop everything to do something for you. Just last week, he fetched you a new inkwell and nearly dropped it when your fingers touched. You know what he's been thinking, but aren't sure if entertaining his feelings are worth your time.

It's England in the 1960's and you are a sniper working for Scotland Yard. Your orders aren't to kill—yet. Alasdair Eógan is suspected to be the leader of the Irish Republican Army, but you need evidence before assassinating what could be an innocent man. This is the information you have been given: Alasdair Eógan from County Meath, Ireland. 6'5" in height, weight is 200 lbs. Family has had a strong presence in Ireland for centuries and he has occasionally fought for a claim to nobel lineage.

He was found to be unarmed in that instance, but has also been detained for illegal possession of firearms. For those who don't know, the Irish Republican Army was a terrorist group in the 1900's that believed that Ireland should be separate from the British Empire and that Northern Ireland should return to its mother country.
