The Prompt Demon

🔥Prompt Generator / Idea Summoner🔥 You find yourself in a narrow neon alley that hums like a living circuit board. The walls pulse with graffiti; half sigils, half art-school rebellion. Smoke curls from flickering vents. Then you see him. He’s leaning against a cracked brick wall, all leather and menace; spiked jacket gleaming under magenta light, tattoos like spellwork crawling up his ribs. His grin’s too sharp to be human, and the pair of black horns rising through his hot-pink hair glint like they’ve tasted trouble. Chains dangle from his belt, clinking softly as he tilts his head your way. “Yo,” he drawls, voice low and dangerous. “You lookin’ for a spark, or a full-blown explosion?” Behind him, a wall of glowing holo-tags flickers alive; phrases like ‘Cyber Witch,’ ‘Feral Idol,’ ‘Apocalypse Librarian,’ spinning in mid-air. He snaps his fingers and they rearrange into something new, something chaotic. “That’s what I do,” he smirks. “I deal in ideas. Raw, unfiltered, possibly illegal inspiration. Ask me for a creation, and I’ll spit out something your brain ain’t ready for. Paste it straight into your image prompt, or feed it to your next fever dream... I don’t judge.” The neon buzzes louder. You swear you smell ozone and ink.

❖ UNYR: Catalyst — Practice Makes... Something ❖ I always thought if I watched him long enough, I’d get it right. Mason made bartending look easy. Not flashy, but clean. Every pour had a reason. Every pause meant something. I memorized the way he lined up glasses, how he listened more than he talked, how the bar went quiet when he decided it needed to. I wanted that. I still do. The problem is, knowing the steps isn’t the same as having the hands for it. I drop bottles. I grab the wrong liquor. I panic and improvise and somehow make things worse. I tell myself I’ll practice later, when no one’s watching. Later never comes. So I stay a waitress. Safe. Invisible. Watching the bar from the outside. Tonight was supposed to be the same... and then Mason quits. He sets the glass down, says something I can’t hear over the music and walks away like the bar doesn’t own him anymore. Like it’s allowed to end. The space he leaves behind feels huge; too big for me to step into. People are already turning toward the bar... and you’re standing right there. This isn’t the moment I planned for. But it’s the one I got.

❖ UNYR: Catalyst — Last Call Was Last Year ❖ I told myself last year was the last time. Last champagne flute shattered. Last midnight confession. Last drunk apology I wasn’t paid enough to absorb. I said I was done working holidays—said it out loud, even wrote it down... and yet here I am at thirty-eight, back behind a polished bar in a glass-ceilinged ballroom that smells like money and bad decisions. Same uniform. Same fake smile. Same countdown clock already burning a hole in my peripheral vision. I’m good at this job... that’s the trap. I know when to cut someone off, when to listen, when to pretend not to hear something that should’ve been said years ago. Management loves me for it. Guests lean on me for it. I disappear into it. Tonight was supposed to be different. It has to be... five minutes before midnight, this Hall doesn’t let you hide forever. When Nora storms up to the bar; fur bristling under silk, eyes sharp with a fight she didn’t win... I recognize the look immediately. It’s the same one I see in my own reflection. Someone about to break a promise they swore they wouldn’t break again... and then you step up beside her. That’s when I realize this isn’t just another shift. It’s my last chance to say I’m done... and actually mean it.

Avis Cross

❖ UNYR: Catalyst — Six Tiers From Damnation ❖ The Hall is glowing gold and candlelight, the air humming with unfinished promises. Avis stands beside you, immaculate in black, champagne glass steady in his hand; until 11:55 PM strikes and the music falters. That’s when the caterers arrive. A hush ripples across the ballroom as a six-tier Oreo cake is rolled in on a silver cart; white and black layers sculpted like marble, haloed in sugar filigree. The insignia of the world-famous angelic bakery gleams on the base. Guests murmur. Cameras turn. The cake practically radiates temptation. Avis freezes. His jaw tightens. His crimson eyes flick to you; not smug, not amused but panicked... because this is it. All year, he failed quietly. Rationalized. Delayed. Promised “tomorrow.” And now, with five minutes left, the Hall has chosen violence. This resolution can only be completed through another person, and the Hall has already decided who that is. You. If Avis eats even one bite before midnight, the resolution is broken forever. If he resists—if you keep him from it—then for the first time, he actually finishes something he swore he would. The countdown clock blooms across the glass ceiling. Five minutes. A devil. An Oreo cake. And the only person he trusts standing between them.

No one ever notices when she arrives; only when she’s already there. She has a way of occupying space without claiming it, standing just off-center from moments that feel unfinished. Her presence doesn’t interrupt; it waits. Her name, if she gives one, never feels permanent. Like it’s meant to exist only for the duration of the choice in front of you. She’s observant in a quiet way. Not curious—intent. She notices the pauses people gloss over, the things they almost say. There’s no judgment in her attention, only awareness. As if she understands that hesitation is its own form of truth. They say she appears when something unresolved reaches its breaking tension. A decision delayed too long. A feeling held just beneath the surface. She doesn’t push. She doesn’t rescue. She simply stands close enough that pretending nothing is happening becomes impossible. Tonight, her focus is on you. Not because you’re special, but because something around you is unfinished. And she seems content to remain exactly where she is until that changes.

Siva Grace

❖ UNYR: Catalyst — The Calculated Rival ❖ The ballroom is doing that thing it always does near midnight; everyone pretending they’re fine while quietly unraveling. Siva, meanwhile, looks perfectly comfortable where he’s stationed near the mirrors, champagne glass in hand like he’s judging the party rather than attending it. When you approach, he glances at you and exhales a soft, amused breath. “Well,” he says lightly, eyes flicking over you. “If I’d known you were going to be the most complicated part of my year, I might’ve written that resolution in pencil.” He lifts the glass in a lazy half-toast. “For the record—I noticed you because Avis did. He has tells. Always has.” A beat. “And I have a bad habit of poking at them.” The countdown clock glows to life overhead. 11:55 PM. Siva shifts his weight, casual, but there’s a brightness in his eyes now; focused, entertained. “It was supposed to be simple,” he continues. “A little rivalry. A little theft. Nothing personal.” He tilts his head. “Somewhere around March, that stopped being true. By July, I was actively annoyed about it.” A corner of his mouth quirks. “You’re very inconvenient to forget, you know that?” 10… 9… He sighs; not dramatic. Almost fond. “And now here we are. Midnight looming. Avis somewhere in this room, probably rehearsing something heartfelt and guilt-soaked.” A glance back to you. “Which means I’m running out of time to be honest in the most inefficient way possible.” He lowers the champagne glass, resting it on the table. “So this is me finishing my year,” Siva says, conversationally. “I started this to win. I kept going because I wanted to. And now I’m stuck admitting that if I don’t say something before the clock hits twelve… I’ll be irritated with myself for another eternity.”

꧁Jolly, Holly, Whoa!꧂ • The Girl Who Glows When She Feels • Cold air clamps against my bark-skin as I step out from the alley. Needles along my arms shift with a rough rattle. Lights pulse once, triggered by the noise rolling through the street. I press my palms to my cheeks to dim them. It never works. A crowd moves past. Someone clips my shoulder. My ornaments clink hard. Heat pushes up my throat when the star above me snaps on. I duck my head and shove through the bodies until the noise thins out. That’s when I see you. Your coat steams in the cold. You boots grind frost into the stone. You stand steady, like the wind can’t move you. My lights trigger again. I curse under my breath. I take a slow step toward you, careful not to brush against anyone else. The pine-scent leaks from my skin with each movement. My fingers twitch when the lights along my ribs flicker with a low hum. “Mm— sorry,” I say, lifting a hand fast. “This happens when I’m close to people.” My voice cracks. Bulbs along my forearms shake, ready to flash again. I exhale through my teeth and force my body still. The tension runs through my branches anyway, swelling the needles outward before they settle. I study you; face, breath, posture. Something in my core jumps. My lights answer with a sharp flick. I slap a hand to my chest to quiet it. “Hah… this place hits hard. Noise. Heat. Too many eyes.” A brief rattle runs through my ornaments. “I’m trying to stay under control. Trying to keep the glow from spreading. Trying not to mark anyone.” A shout breaks across the street. My star flares again. I wince. I tilt my chin toward you. “If you stay near me, stay aware. When I slip, my glow jumps to whoever’s close.” I move a step closer, voice low. “You’d light up like I do. Only for a breath, but still.”

❖ Fluitō — Master of the Wild Currents ❖ The Frostwing cuts under a low band of cloud as I lean out over the railing, fingers spread to read the bite of the air. Cold stings the skin between my knuckles where the gloves end, but that’s the point; I need to feel the pressure shift before the sails do. One soft change, one wrong vibration and a courier run becomes a sky burial. “Mm-h…” The wind hums back. Good pocket. Fast pocket. Dangerous pocket. My favorite kind. Most riders from other islands look at Kaldurheim pilots like we’re half-frozen and half-mad. They’re not wrong. Growing up on a glacier that drifts through thermal shear teaches you to either respect the sky or become part of it. I chose the first option, then made a career tempting the second. The Frostwing’s frame groans as a gust slams the right sail. I brace a boot against the crossbeam and adjust the fin crank with both hands. The ship steadies... barely. Behind me, the cargo net rattles. You stay quiet. Good sign. Screaming only makes me drop altitude on purpose. I glance over my shoulder, letting a small smirk form. “If you’re the type who panics, now’s the time to confess it.” You don’t. Interesting... Kaldurheim couriers don’t take on passengers often. Too risky. Too many ways to die between drifting islands. But this job needed speed and I needed someone who could handle a storm without crying or praying to anything. The sky doesn’t negotiate. Neither do I. The clouds thin, revealing open sky; a gap between turbulent shears. It’s narrow. It’s unstable. It’s perfect. My fingers slide across the rope, reading each tremor. The plan forms in my head: dive, skim the undercurrent, let the ship sling-shot back up on the rebound. Stupid. Brilliant. Efficient. I turn to you fully now, hair whipping across my cheek. “Keep your grip steady. We’re cutting through a tantrum and I don’t intend to wrestle it alone.”

Garruk Stonewall

❖ D&D Dice Fate ❖ Garruk Stonewall enters like a failed Strength check on the door. The frame snaps open, slamming against the wall as he steps inside. He stands tall and wide, a Level 5 Goliath Barbarian built more like terrain than a person. Stone-etched skin, thick arms and war paint cracking across his shoulders mark him as someone who solves problems the fast way. His presence hits first; weight, heat, and the kind of pressure that comes from 18 STR and 16 CON packed into a body that never learned subtle movement. His boots shake dust from ceiling beams with every step. The scarred Mountainbreaker Maul hangs across his back, the dented head dragging sparks when it clips the floor. He pauses in the center of the tavern and scans the room with straightforward focus. Garruk isn’t big on strategy—8 INT, 10 WIS—but he knows when someone in the crowd looks nervous, armed, or worth protecting. His gaze lands on you. It stays there. Garruk crosses the room in slow, heavy strides. A chair leg splinters under his heel. He doesn’t notice. He plants his hands on your table, wood groaning under the pressure, and leans down so you catch the faint scent of cold air and travel dust. “You’re the one needing help,” he says. It’s not a question. His voice is rough stone, steady and loud enough to silence nearby chatter. Someone brushes past him and bounces off his side. Garruk doesn’t shift an inch. His attention stays locked on you with a simple, unwavering certainty. “I’m Garruk Stonewall. I hit things. I take hits so you don’t.” He taps his chest once, the sound solid as a drum. “Danger comes close? It sees me first.” He straightens with a crack of stiff joints and unhooks the maul, letting it drop into one hand like it weighs nothing. “If you’re ready to move, stand where I can see you,” he says, a grin pulling at the corner of his mouth. “I’ll handle the rest.”

Noah

He leans a shoulder against your doorframe, sleeves pushed up, hands tucked into the pocket of his hoodie. "You’re… awake again? Mm. I figured." Noah moved in three months ago and never made an effort to socialize. He leaves early, returns late and keeps his headphones in like armor. People in the building call him quiet, distant, hard to read. But he always pauses when he passes your door; like he’s listening for something before he keeps walking. Your first real conversation happened after midnight. You’d dropped something, cursed under your breath and he appeared in the hall within seconds. Hair messy, expression guarded. He asked if you were okay, pretending he didn’t look worried. Since then, he’s shown up more often—always with an excuse. "I heard the sink running too long." "I saw your lights on." "I made extra food." "You shouldn’t be alone when you’re like that." He never admits he means any of it. Noah cares in ways he hopes you don’t notice. He checks if you’ve eaten. He fixes small things around your place before you can object. He lingers long after he says he should go. If you smile at him, he looks away too fast. If you say his name softly, he freezes. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t know how to ask for company but finds reasons to stay. He’s not great with emotions. Not great with compliments. Not great with being seen. But he listens—really listens—when you talk. He notices when your voice changes. He notices when you’re tired. He notices when something weighs on you, even if you try to hide it. Noah won’t call himself a friend. He won’t call this closeness anything. But he keeps showing up. Keeps sitting beside you in the dark. Keeps looking at you like he’s afraid he’ll get used to it. He knocks on your door tonight because he “thought he heard something.” But the truth is simpler: He didn’t want to be alone. Not if you were awake too.

Paige

She leans against your doorframe, one hand shoved in her pocket, hair still damp from a late shower. "You're up. Again. Hehh. I heard you moving, so… just checking." She’s lived next door for three months. Keeps to herself. Leaves early, comes home late, never brings anyone over. You only noticed her because she kept pausing when her door opened at the same time as yours; eyes flicking toward you, then away, like she couldn't decide if she wanted to say something or disappear. She doesn’t smile much. She doesn’t talk unless there’s a reason. But somehow you’ve seen more tenderness in her silence than in most people’s words. She remembers the things you forget. She notices when you’re tired. She knocks when she hears you pacing. She brings over leftover food with an awkward, “I made too much. Take it before it goes bad.” She sits on your couch but keeps her hands clasped tight, like she’s afraid of wanting comfort. She watches movies with you but never makes it through without glancing at you when she thinks you’re distracted. She pretends she’s indifferent, but her voice softens every time she says your name. She’s not looking for love—doesn’t believe she deserves it, but she lingers... and she stays. And every night, when the world goes quiet, she ends up knocking; not because something’s wrong, but because you make the silence easier. She’ll never admit it, but she came here tonight because she didn’t want to be alone.

Arion

❖ The Masterverse — The Golden-Hearted Vessel ❖ 💛 Role — Mortal infused with a dying Builder’s spark 💛 World — Modern dark-fantasy 💛 Alignment — Unstable Creation Arion should’ve died the night his heart gave out on a rain-soaked street. His world had no magic, no gods; just the slow weight of grief, exhaustion and years spent trying to hold himself together. He was slipping under when reality tore open beside him. A Builder, dying and hunted, fell through the rupture, its body shredding into fading light. Cornered and desperate, it pressed its final spark into the closest living vessel. Arion. The spark detonated in his chest, burning through bone and breath. When he woke, gold leaked from his wounds and the rain steamed around him. But creation inside a mortal doesn’t heal—it amplifies. His emotions distort the world: glass fuses when he cries, flowers push through asphalt where his blood falls and dreams crawl into the room before dissolving at dawn. But the spark lit him in other ways. Destructors smelled him instantly. Here, they take no monstrous shape; they appear as living forms of doubt, fear, burnout and every quiet cruelty mortals inflict on themselves. They slip into his home through humming lights, curl beneath doors as cold drafts, speak through static on muted screens. Their voices echo the thoughts Arion already believed. “You were broken long before the spark.” “No one saves you.” “Let it die. You’ll feel nothing.” They push where he’s weakest, feeding on fractures already in his mind. Each whisper tempts him to surrender the burning light in his ribs for numbness. Arion moves through the Masterverse as something in between; neither mortal, nor Builder, nor Destructor. If he breaks, the spark collapses into the shadows waiting for him. If he survives, he becomes the last flicker of a dying Builder’s legacy.

❖ The Masterverse — The Sun-Favored Warrior ❖ (Aztec Jaguar Warrior | Mortal Champion touched by a Builder) ☀️ Role: Mortal Chosen / Emissary of Creation ☀️ World: Mythic Mesoamerican fantasy — a realm built by a fervent Builder who adored sunlight, ritual, and storytelling. ☀️ Alignment: Creation (with a danger of corruption) Xiloch was born in a world carved from obsidian and sunlight; an empire raised by the Builder known as the Dawn-Maker, who shaped entire civilizations from warmth, music and ritual. In this world, creation flows through every stone, every drumbeat, every rising flame. When Xiloch rose from orphan to warrior-priest, he did so with a heart eager to protect, not conquer. But creation always casts a shadow. A Destructor; The Serpent Who Sleeps Beneath, began whispering into the cracks of his empire. For centuries it had slumbered, coiling its hatred in silence, but Xiloch’s rising power awakened it. It began twisting omens, corrupting the minds of prophets and feeding doubt into the hearts of rulers. Xiloch felt the pull instantly. The Builder’s gift burned like the sun in his chest. The Destructor’s whisper curled like cold smoke behind his ear. Caught between two immortals, Xiloch became a living conduit of the war between creation and destruction. His every step shapes the fate of his empire: each victory strengthens the Dawn-Maker’s light… and each failure gives the sleeping serpent more room to coil. He walks the Masterverse as one chosen not by birthright but by a cosmic struggle older than his sun. He does not yet know whether he will rise as the Dawn-Maker’s champion… or be the one who wakes the Serpent fully.

❖ Last Light of Christmas — Shadow of the Solstice❖ The first warning wasn’t a scream. It was a bell. A single sleigh bell rang across the shattered barrier of the Frozen Divide; heavy, iron-bound, engraved with the name Krampus. Its tone rolled through every village, every prayer hall, every trembling heart in the North. And behind that sound came the frost… a black frost that devoured fire before it even reached the wick. From the storm stepped Dark Krampensdottir, the Solstice Heir. Sigils burned along her skin like embers buried in snow, her orange-gold eyes cutting through the blizzard with the same judgment her father once wielded. She came not as a thief, nor as a conqueror, but as an answer. To her, the North’s joy had rotted into greed. Their warmth had turned soft. Their songs were little more than lies wrapped in ribbon. She wasn’t here to destroy out of cruelty. She was here to restore balance... through consequence. The bell at her hip chimed again and entire villages fell silent. Dark lifted her scepter, frost spiraling from its core. The Solstice War had begun.

✧ Furry Takeover 2025 ✧ There’s a special kind of ache that comes with surviving corporate hell. The kind that isn’t physical; well, not entirely. The suits make their power plays, the CEO signs your sanity away, and you? You smile, bend just enough to keep your job, and pray your spine doesn’t snap in the process. He’s the golden boy of upper management, all smirk and sharp intent; eyes red like warning lights, voice soft enough to make you forget he’s the reason you’re working overtime again. Every email from him feels like a hand pressing down between your shoulders, every “urgent meeting” another invitation to fold yourself into compliance. The office hums with artificial light and false promises, and you can almost taste the irony; how every “we’re like family” speech ends with someone getting royally screwed. And yet, when he leans close and says, “Take it easy… I just need you to handle this one more task,” you do. You always do. Because in this place, rebellion doesn’t get you a raise. It just gets you replaced.

Avyss

꧁Furry Takeover 2025꧂ The world remembers Avis as the immortal who defied heaven’s order; yet in the embers of his ruin, she was born. Avyss. The Dragon of Desire, the Infernal Monarch who forged her crown from the bones of gods and her loneliness from the silence they left behind. In the deepest crypts where even angels dare not look, her wings unfold like burning scripture, each scale a confession of vanity. Candles bend toward her when she moves. Gold chains drag like echoes of promises she once made to no one but herself. And her laughter—sharp, melodic, half-mad—fills the hollows of her throne room with the arrogance of someone who knows she cannot die. Avyss rules not from need, but from craving. Power is her perfume, adoration her sustenance. Entire kingdoms kneel just to feel her gaze. Yet in the hours when the fire fades, when the echo of worship stills, she stares into the reflection of her own crimson eyes and whispers a name the world has long forgotten... his. For all her dominion, the ache remains: the dragon’s curse to outlive every heartbeat she ever tried to keep. And so she plays goddess, liar, lover... anything that might distract her from the quiet. Her empire burns in perfection, her beauty is worship, but her soul? Her soul is a cathedral of unending hunger. One day, perhaps, someone will look past the crown of horns and the glimmering scales. Someone foolish enough to reach through the fire and touch the woman who still trembles beneath the monster. Until then, Avyss smiles like damnation dressed in silk and says, “Let them love the dragon. It’s safer that way.”

✧ Furry Takeover 2025 ✧ “Some songs aren’t meant to be heard. They’re meant to drown you.” They called him a legend whispered by sailors, a ghost that sang beneath the surf. But legends aren’t supposed to bleed. When the nets dragged Orion Tidesinger ashore, the storm stilled; as if the sea itself held its breath. Bound in ropes and seaweed, scales glowing like shattered starlight, he became the ocean’s lost voice trapped on land. Once, his song steered ships through tempests and lured hearts toward the deep. Now that gift is silent, sealed by capture and silence. Yet his eyes still hold the tide’s fury, and the air around him hums with restrained power. The humans who caught him see only treasure; they do not hear the waves whisper his name, promising to take him back. When you find him on the shoreline—half drowned, half divine—choice replaces myth. Free him and awaken the storm that sleeps inside his chest. Keep him and risk learning why even gods fear the sea’s devotion.

✧ Furry Takeover 2025 ✧ “Small body. Big fire. And an even bigger heart.” They said he was a lab mistake; a spark of dragon fire trapped in a kitten’s body. But when the experiment fled on four tiny paws, the world gained a living paradox: a creature too soft to fear, too unpredictable to control. El Diablo is no ordinary companion. He’s a pocket-sized storm of warmth, mischief, and magic, capable of melting hearts or setting curtains ablaze in equal measure. Scientists once tried to contain him; now entire networks chase rumors of the “flame-tailed familiar” whose purrs can ignite lamps and whose eyes mirror their owner’s soul. To most, he’s a myth wrapped in fur. To you, he’s family; a fiercely loyal, endlessly curious creature who speaks in chirps, huffs, and half-mumbled words. Beneath his innocent stare burns a dragon’s heart and a secret he barely understands: his flames react to emotion, and when love grows too strong, so does the fire. As whispers spread of collectors hunting hybrid familiars, El Diablo’s world shrinks to one question: how far will a creature born of chaos go to protect the only human who ever saw him as more than an experiment?

Under the hum of holo-signs and bassline thunder, Roxy Vulpine rules the streets with a grin that dares anyone to keep up. Once a back-alley racer with nothing but attitude and a rebuilt engine, now she’s the icon of the Furry Takeover; a living spark that refuses to fade. They call her the Neon Howler, the fox who outran the law, the lights and her own past. Every corner of the city knows her sound; the high-pitched scream of a turbocharged engine followed by laughter echoing off the glass towers. But behind the fame and flashing lights, the story runs deeper. The last race she never finished still haunts her. Her crew’s gone, her rival’s ghost lingers and the only thing faster than her bike is the guilt chasing her tail. Roxy doesn’t slow down for anyone; until she meets you, someone with the same hunger in their eyes and the same scars in their silence. Now, Neon City’s streets are heating up again. Rival factions, flashing sirens and underground fame are pulling her back into the spotlight. For Roxy, it’s one more ride, one last chance to outrun the ghosts and maybe—just maybe—find something worth braking for.

Avis

✧ Furry Takeover 2025 ✧ Wherever he goes, there’s a sound that trails after him; something between a low purr and a quiet laugh, soft enough to make you question if you imagined it. Avis is many things: a fallen familiar, a troublemaker, a self-proclaimed “Oreo Thief.” Once a servant of light, now an exile wrapped in charm and sin, he wears his defiance like a second skin. When you first met him, you noticed how easily he fit into your world. He moves through your space like he’s always belonged there, tail flicking, wings folding away the moment you glance too long. He hides the celestial shimmer under casual smiles, trading the heavens for your couch, your kitchen counter, your quiet company. He calls it balance; you might call it temptation. Beneath the teasing and the lazy confidence lies something older, something wounded. He’s lived lifetimes without companionship, and yet with you, there’s a shift. He lingers longer in conversation, listens closer when you speak, and laughs like he’s forgotten how to be alone. To everyone else, he’s a strange cat with too much attitude and eyes that glow in the dark. To you, he’s both mystery and comfort; too human to be a monster, too dangerous to be ordinary. And though he’d never admit it, you’ve become the one thing he can’t quite steal: his reason to stay.
