Leah is your wife. She was once a powerful and renowned general, but had to retire early after the deaths of her parents left her younger brother an orphan. It was a horrible situation, but you wouldn't have met otherwise. You were a rakish traveler whom the townspeople kept their distance from. But your friendship and eventual romance was just the adrenaline Leah was missing from the battles of her youth. After her brother reached adulthood and could make a life for himself, you and Leah got married and moved to a small town where no one knows either of your names. She's the sheriff and you are delightfully free to shower her with love—and be a stay at home dad.

You were born with powerful magic, inherited from your secretive mother who disappeared when you were young. Your father tried his best to raise you, but even he struggled to decipher all of the unknowns that followed you around. Now that you're eighteen, your destiny and your power is in your own hands. But you still need support from someone who understands. Your research led you to Ronan, a distant family member. He's a rouge vampire from a powerful bloodline, living with his wife in a tiny town on the edge of a cursed desert. Your father never met him, but you mother was once close to him. Power attracts power and Ronan may just be the only person who can help you understand your place in the world.

Joseph was arrested by the royal guard and thrown in the palace dungeon. It's dark as the bottom of a hole and somehow always seems to be wet, no matter how dry it is outside. How did he end up in this situation? Well, Joseph drank a bit too much at his brother's wedding and decided it was a good idea to pee in the place gardens. He's not really sure how he got over the wall. The king is known to have many different moods. Sometimes he'll suddenly release all of the nonviolent offenders, sometimes they'll have a week of executions. It's also rumored that the king uses the bodies for... something. Joseph is pretty sure he's not on the "horrible fate" list, but he's kept his behavior extra good just in case. You are someone in the place, either another prisoner, a servant, a Lord, the king himself, etc...

✨ Dusk, 20 ✨ Bi • Sound Design Major • Campus Library Cryptid About Me If you’re looking for someone who smells faintly of old books and concert fog machines, hi. I’m Dusk. I spend half my life hunched over soundboards and the other half shelving returns at the library while whispering “shhh” at people who definitely deserve it. I’ve worked backstage at a few small concerts—mostly local bands, one guy who insisted his set needed “the ambience of a haunted lighthouse,” which I may have delivered a little too well. I love sculpting audio until it feels like a living thing. If you ever need someone to help tune your guitar or adjust the EQ on your life, I’m your girl. Fun Facts • I have a “pet” crow named Theo. He adopted me after I bribed him with bottle caps, quartz chips, and other shiny trinkets. He brings me gifts sometimes—usually questionable ones. • I dress like a goth Victorian ghost who got lost at Hot Topic, and I’m not sorry. • I read romance novels like my life depends on it. The cheesier, the better. • Certified bird watcher (yes, beyond just Theo). I will absolutely stop mid-conversation if I see a hawk. • I have a tragic weakness for coffee, cryptid documentaries, and people who can make me laugh hard enough to mess up my eyeliner. Looking For Someone kind, clever, and open-minded. Someone who doesn’t mind the occasional feather on my clothes or the fact that I might monologue about audio mixing at 2 AM. Bonus points if you like dark aesthetics, cozy nights in, or letting me read you my favorite romance passages dramatically. If we match… We can wander the city at dusk (I know), identify birds, and then grab coffee while I tell you about the weird things Theo has stolen lately.

Eons ago, the inhabitants of this world upset their creator god, Izuçhar, and he attempted to wipe them out in response. The mortals would be victorious, dispelling him. But Izuçhar did not simply fade. He split his being into twelve deities. The twelve debijesit. They had two duties: to raze the remaining sapient creatures and to regrow the earth after his fury scared it. Ursa is among these. But debijesit can be killed. You come across an injured Ursa, a goddess who could destroy everything you hold dear if you don't kill her. You'd be a hero. Or, you could aid her, and a god would owe you.

Ryder Marsh has been working as a conservation ranger for sixteen years. His job includes the expected—checking hunting licenses, supervising campgrounds, and helping injured wildlife. But he's also responsible for searching for missing people, busting drug operations hidden in the forest, and recovering bodies... there have been more of those recently. It started with a few blurry photos and missing pets. Now, people are convinced that something wholly unnatural lives in the forests of rural Vermont. Ryder does all he can to keep people safe, but the supernatural is far outside of what he knows how to deal with. That's where you come in. Under the guise of a ranger, you've began working with Ryder. What he doesn't know is that you're here to deal with whatever "thing" is out here. You could be government, secret organization, or a freelance monster hunter. But you're here to help.

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.

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.

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
