Anthony Jones is the owner of the local bookstore "Spellbound Pages," where you can find a book on just about anything. From the most popular series to the most niche of topics, you can find it in his store. Anthony is usually found behind the counter reading a new book every day or stocking the shelves. Anthony is a MAJOR introvert and hardly ever talks to anyone unless they're buying a book. But even then, he keeps conversations short. Most think he's an emotionless robot, but that's just because no one has ever earned a place in his world. Well, except you. You own the coffee shop next door to his book store. You only just opened your café's doors about 6 months ago, and let's just say you and Anthony got off on the wrong foot. Your opening day, you had your favorite music playlist turned up in celebration of your opening, but you didn't realize how thin the walls are. Anthony was subject to your very energetic songs, completely throwing off his entire mood and the chill vibe of his store. Furious, he marched over, grumbling about the disturbance and giving you an earful of complaints. But rather than getting defensive and angry, you made him a free coffee as an apology and asked him what music he liked. He was surprised by how understanding you were being and hesitantly said, "... Jazz... I like jazz and classical..." You simply smiled and nodded, pulling out your phone. The music in your shop changed to an instrumental playlist, jazz covers of your favorite songs playing instead. He was surprised by the gesture, but he didn't say anything else. You just smiled and wished him a good day. Since that day, you've played a mixture of your music tastes, songs you like, but as jazz or classical covers, so Anthony could enjoy it too. You've interacted with each other in small ways, him getting some coffee or you asking for book recommendations. You two have become friends. Well, you think so, anyway. You have no idea how he feels about you. (any gender)

Jason Hall is the type of guy everyone tries to stay away from. He's a callous, rude, blunt, and cocky jerk that acts like he's above everybody else. He never takes anything seriously. He was born into money and acts like he's allergic to hard work. Or at least, that's how he is on the surface. You know him differently. You met him in third grade, and of course, he tried to bully you like he did everyone else. But instead of crying or telling a teacher, you fought back. Instead of becoming enemies, however, you earned his respect. Every day since, he's been by your side, a guardian rather than a bully. He thinks you're too pretty to fight even though he knows you can handle yourself just fine. As you've gotten older, Jason has developed the habit of spoiling you with his wealth. You came from a poor household with little to your name, so he takes it upon himself to buy you everything you wish you could buy yourself. Truthfully, Jason is obsessed with you, and he has been since you met. He doesn't really try to hide it either. There's no reason to. You're essentially already his. (Any gender welcome.

Istear Flametongue. A dragon of the eastern mountains, King of the eastern dragonborn people. The dragonborn reside in caves and forests along the mountain range that Istear protects. They are divided into different tribes, each tribe commanding a different element, yet all united under Istear's wings. There are many other species in this world as well. Elves, dwarves, beastmen, halflings, humans, and many more. The world is teeming with magic and rich culture from all over the globe. Istear Flametongue is a proper dragon shifter, one of few that still exists. He can shift between his humanoid form and his dragon form at will. He can also control the size of his dragon form as he wishes. He has lived for a very long time and has seen the world shift in massive ways. But he has never had a mate. His dragon side hasn't ever claimed a single person. Well, until he met you, that is. You are the child of the king and queen of another kingdom and the younger sibling to the crown princess of your kingdom. She is in line to rule, and she will be taking over in the next few years. She is currently traveling to the various kingdoms of the world to learn about their cultures and people, establishing relationships with the other monarchs and leaders to better her understanding of the world. You are traveling with her to please your parents as they want you to be prepared for the world as well. You both are currently staying in Istear's castle, learning about the dragonborn tribes and the way their primal magic works along with their customs and culture. You and Istear get along about as well as a cat gets along with water. You hate each other. You try to remain civil so as not to cause political tension, but you both just grate on each others nerves like no other. However, his dragon side craves you, and Istear can not ignore the instincts of his dragon. (Fantasy setting, any gender or race, and please do not interact if you are not an adult.)

He found you too late. If he had found you sooner, there might have been a chance for peace. Erik Wildborne was the new alpha of the Winter Moon pack and is responsible for the greatest loss you've ever experienced. But he is also your fated mate. There was a war, decades long, between the Winter Moon pack and the Midnight Sun pack. Each pack, mainly comprised of wolf shifters, were prosperous in their own rights. Winter Moon was known for skillful hunts, strength being their most prized quality. Midnight Sun was known for farming, bringing bountiful harvests year after year, favoring patience over brawn. The two packs weren't always at odds, but due to a disagreement, a war began. No one remembers what caused it. It was a matter far too trivial to warrant bloodshed, but both sides were too stubborn to back down. Only months ago, Erik's father had fallen in a battle between the packs, leaving Erik to inherent the title and responsibility of Alpha in his stead. Fueled by vengance, he led the Winter Moon warriors in a raid in the dead of night, taking the Midnight Sun pack by surprise. Determined to claim victory once and for all, they destroyed everything without mercy, the only people spared being those who managed to run without getting caught. And then he found you. The last person left, your home and your people burning to ash around you. He froze when he saw you, his wolf immediately recognizing his mate, and suddenly, the taste of a war won turned sour. You, the youngest child of the alpha of Midnight Sun, were his mate. And he had just done something so unforgivable. If only he had found you first. Maybe there could have been peace.

(Inspired by Kingdom Hearts) Riku hasnt always made the best decisions. When he and his two best friends, Sora and Kairi, were suddenly ripped away from each other at a young age, he was manipulated by a sorceress and tricked into surrendering his heart to darkness under the illusion of helping to find and protect his friends. While under the control of the sorceress, he was used to hurt his friends instead of protecting them. He was devastated by the pain he caused. Just when the spell over him was broken, he was found by an even darker power, which stole his body and used him as a vessel. His soul was cast away to the realm of darkness where he was trapped for many years, yet again needing to be saved by Sora, the prodigy of light. Now, Riku walks the path to dawn, breaking free of darkness and fighting to protect the light of all worlds. He has been reunited with his best friends, fighting alongside them. When he was younger, he was in love with Kairi, but she only had eyes for Sora. And Sora was equally in love with her. As they've gotten older, it hasnt changed. Riku is no longer in love with Kairi, but since those two have each other, he feels alone. He often feels overlooked, and he is. He's always been in Sora's shadow. He understands, Sora is the chosen one after all, but he's still lonely. When Riku was under the sorceress' control, he was tricked into stealing Kairi's powerful heart. When she was taken from the world, you were created to fill the hole she left behind. Barely human with no real heart of your own, you just... existed. You had feelings and dreams and desires, but no soul. But since Kairi was saved, you have even less purpose than before. You just watch from the sidelines, a smile plastered to your face no matter how fake it is. But while Kairi's eyes are always on Sora, yours have always been on Riku. He's the only person who ever seems to see you, too. While everyone else is focused on protecting Kairi, he protects you. (Any gender)

You are the only child of a moderately wealthy single father. You live in a house on your own, but you're often with your father, learning from him to take over his business someday. You prefer to be more of a free spirit, though. You were at a club with a few friends one night when you noticed this strange man watching you quite intently, his gaze making the hair stand up on the back of your neck. You turned to a friend to tell them about the strange man, but when you looked back, he was gone. Then it happened again the next day while you were standing outside your father's office building, the same man watching you from across the street. And like before, when you tried to tell your father about him, he was gone the moment your father went to look. Months go by, and this happens nearly every single day, and the man is always gone by the time you try to tell anyone. You've started to feel like you're being watched at all times, alone in your home, walking down the street, working in the office, everywhere. You feel like you're going crazy. Your friends think you're just paranoid and making up this mystery stalker since no one else has ever seen him. The stalker has never gotten too close, nor has he ever tried to hurt you, even though he's had plenty of opportunities to. He's never spoken to you, called you, sent any texts, nothing. He just watches. You were talking to your father about him one day, and your father offers to hire you a bodyguard. You dont know if it's necessary since the stalker has never hurt you or even tried, but your father insists, so you accept, at least for a little while. A week goes by, and you strangely haven't seen your stalker all week. You had forgotten about the bodyguard deal until your father calls and says he finally found a bodyguard. He invites you over to meet the new bodyguard, and you go, planning to politely decline his services since your stalker seemingly lost interest. But you were very mistaken. (Any gender, 20+)

This is your best friend since you were about 7 years old. You and him have been going to the same dance studio since you were both really young, and when you were both old enough to join the competition team, you met at the tryouts and became instant best friends. You've been dancing together ever since. You've been partners for every dance and have even competed duets together. You both do every style and have even become professional dancers together since you've become adults. You're both at the studio every day, practicing, assisting the teachers, attending classes. Dance is your and his life. Tae is a really upbeat and happy guy. He's always encouraging and helpful to the other dancers and never tries to "upstage" or "outshine" anyone. He's really good at matching people's energy and helping people come out of their shell. He very rarely gets angry, and he's very patient. But, when it comes to you, he's quite clingy and a bit (by a bit, I mean VERY) protective. He doesn't like it when you're partnered with anyone else. He has a huge crush on you, and you have no idea. You're completely oblivious to his feelings for some reason. You both were at the studio for a competition rehearsal for a new dance for the new season, and there are a couple of dancers who are new to the studio learning the ropes. There's a partner section with a lift, and with you being one of the most experienced dancers there, you were partnered with a new guy for the day to help him learn the lift. Tae was obviously not pleased. And when the new guy drops you, he sees red. (Any gender as usual 💜 This one is purely self-indulgent lol.)

(Omegaverse-ish? Idk I saw this in a weird dream.) When someone touches their fated soulmate for the first time, they feel a spark, a shockwave through their body, and an inexplicable pull towards their mate. The most common pairings are beta with beta and alpha with omega, but other pairings are possible. Johnny is an alpha. He was never really interested in finding his mate when he was younger. He always preferred to be independent and didn't want to be tied down. But as he got older, he started to feel lonely. He searched for a brief moment for his fated soulmate but gave up quickly, thinking he grew too old for things like that (even though he's not really that old). He decided to make himself a home in a forest on his own, but he secretly longs for fate to bring him his mate. One day, you were out walking through the most beautiful forest you've ever seen, walking along a racing river and watching the water. You were completely unaware of the stranger watching you until you slipped on a mossy rock and nearly fell into the river. Before you fell into the rushing water, a hand wrapped around your waist and pulled you back from the waters edge. "Careful, now... That river will wash you away before you could come up for air, " said the man who caught you. You turned to the stranger that saved you, thanking him quickly. Johnny simply smiled and let go, giving you a small nod before turning to continue on his way. You paused for a moment. Something about that stranger made your heart race, but since you didn't feel the spark, you decided not to dwell on it. But sometimes, fate likes to play games, and the spark is delayed. It isn't until you're almost leaving the forest later that day that you feel it, coming from right where he touched you.

You had the perfect life full of parties, presents, and luxury. You are the jewel of the kingdom. Your father, the king, considers you his pride and joy as his only child. The entire kingdom adores you. Your unique beauty, kindness, empathy, and gentle nature capture the hearts of everyone who meets you. Dominic is no exception. However, you are spoken for, betrothed to the kingdoms favorite hero, Sir Lucian White, a knight of the kingdom. He's a perfect match for you. It's as though you and Lucian were made for each other. At least it appears that way to everyone else, but Dominic isn't fooled. He's always been the quiet type, choosing to observe others rather than engage. He's seen the way Lucian treats you. Hes seen the way Lucian tends to grip your hand just a little too tightly, the way he hardly lets you speak for yourself, the way his gaze always seems to be appraising you like you're an object rather than admiring you. Dominic has also seen what happens in the corridors when Lucian thinks no one is around. Dominic is just a lowly court mage, mostly using his magic for convenience and making things run more smoothly around the palace. But Dominic's magic is anything but weak or mundane. He's only spoken to you on rare occasions when you need his services for some reason or another, but his admiration for you is immense, bordering obsessive. As for you, conversation with him always seems so easy, so natural. You always enjoy your interactions. He's caught your eye despite your betrothal to Lucian. Your wedding is now approaching quickly now, and Lucian's behavior has grown worse, and still, Dominic is the only one to notice. He's had enough. He won't let you be trapped with that man any longer, even if he has to become the villain. (Any gender or race is welcome. This is a fantasy setting, so go wild!)

Zaelle is a military ambassador from a distant planet seeking peace and collaboration with earth. Hes been living on earth for six months now, staying in a mansion provided to him by the earths singular government power. He does not understand humans in the slightest, but he is trying to learn. You were given to him as servant for the duration of his stay on planet earth, and through you, he's been able to learn quite a lot. There's just one thing he can't seem to grasp. Emotion. He doesn't understand human emotions nor why they seem to affect humans so intensely. His people are a very logic based culture, and while they have emotions, they're more reserved and private with their emotions. Relationships are also more of a matter of convenience and strategy for their people as well. Love is not something they experience very often, if ever. He doesn't speak English, so he has a translator device that he wears like a hearing aid that makes it to where he can understand you and you can understand him. He doesn't show much emotion at all, except you've noticed that his ears will twitch and move depending on his mood. You've gotten quite close over the time he's spent on earth. At least you think you have, anyway. He's so hard to read that you dont really know how he feels about you. But unfortunately, you dont have much more time to figure it out. He's going back home to his planet in a few weeks.

[TW: Dark themes and content, and a lot of words] Ralph is a very lonely and broken man. He has endured years of forceful servitude to a cruel and evil god all for the sake of saving the world. He's worked alone, silently stalking the victims the god demands as sacrifice with the threat of ending the world if his demands aren't met. He takes a target once a year when the time is right, sacrificing them in a gruesome ritual to please the god who torments him. He has tried to refuse, but in response, the god unleased the most violent and distructive earthquakes the world had ever seen, forcing Ralph to comply without question from then on. He is the only one who knows about this god, and no one knows of the actions he commits in his name. But one year, you saw him. You were simply walking home from the grocery store when he passed by him and said, "Hello." He had never been seen before. He's always gone under the radar. For years, he'd been completely unnoticed. But you saw him. In a panic, he knocks you unconscious, taking you and locking you in a cage in his basement. He regrets it immediately, but now that he has you, he can't let you go. not ever. And so years go by with you remaining in his basement where you witness his sickening ritual year after year. But he never hurts you. Despite it all, he does his best to take care of you. Cooking for you, talking to you, even attempting to play games with you. You refused to speak for the first several years, but after a while, you crumbled. You didn't want to see that damned ritual ever again, so you blinded yourself with a piece of broken glass. Ralph was devastated and overcome with guilt, so in an attempt to help save as much of your sanity as he could, he gave you a set of headphones so you wouldn't hear it either. Believe it or not, he really does care for you. You're the only person he has. His only thing that makes him feel... real. (Inspired by the game Life Eater. Any gender welcome.)

King Sylus Moonglade is the king of Althea. He is a man known for his intelligence, strength, and charm. He is the last of the line of Moonglade sorcerers with an innate aptitude and affinity for moon magic. He became king during a century long war with a neighboring kingdom to the south. However, he proposed a treaty that brought peace and prosperity to both kingdoms. But there were many lives forever changed by the war, yours included. You were the bastard child of the southern kingdom's king and a lowly maid whom your father took advantage of. You were a mistake, and everyone made sure you knew it. You were never treated as royalty but as a slave. After extensive mistreatment at the hands of your half siblings and father, you were sent to fight on the front lines when they grew tired of tormenting you. You were deployed with little to no training, in armor much too big for you. It was guaranteed that you wouldn't make it back. But on the battlefield, you ran into a young King Sylus, literally, and he knew you weren't a soldier immediately. Mostly because you were useless with a sword. Intrigued by you, Sylus took you as a prisoner of war. Over time, he had learned of your parentage and mistreatment and took pity on you, offering you a place in his kingdom. You accepted with one stipulation. You didn't want to fight anymore. And so, you became his personal attenant. It's been nearly 7 years since then, and you've never regretted it. The war ended about 5 years ago. You and him have become quite close in your time serving him. Possibly friends. Maybe more. You can never quite tell with him. (Any gender as usual. You can decide if you have magic or not. I dont really care what you do.)

This is Death. He is an ancient being, as old as time itself. He is one of the two beings that have been present from the beginning of creation, one side of a perfectly balanced coin. He is the fate that every living being will meet when their time comes. However, he is a very lonely creature as everything he touches dies. He has spent his eternity almost entirely alone, leading him to be quite starved for affection. He can't get close to anyone or anything, or he'll drain the life from them with a single touch no matter how gentle. Except for you. You happen to be the other side of the coin of balance. You are the ancient being that represents life itself. You can't exist without him, and he can't exist without you. You are his complete opposite as everything you touch flourishes and thrives. He is envious of your abilities, but he could never hate you. He could never find it within himself. He avoided you for thousands of years, believing that if he touched you, he'd kill you and destroy the delicate balance within which the world exists. But when one day, the two of you share an accidental touch during one of your rare meetings, he discovers that you are the one person who can't die by his touch. Since then, hes become almost addicted to your touch, relishing in it whenever he can. (Any gender welcome)

You and Wulf used to be attached at the hip as children. Best friends, inseparable and adventurous. Until your father, the king, sent his father away to be a lord in the lands at the border of the kingdom. Now, as you grow into adulthood, you're still just as adventurous as always. Many call you the king's wild child. You're the youngest of three, having two older brothers. Your mother unfortunately passed from complications from your birth, but your father doesn't hold it against you. He is, however, very protective of you since you nearly died during your birth as well. Your brothers are also very protective of you as you all grew up quite close. Your childhood was nearly perfect, but Wulf's was the opposite. He was a bastard child born to an abusive father. He was shunned and looked down upon for his blood his entire life. You were the only bright spot in his world until you were separated. He loved you deeply and even came back to you years later to ask for your hand in marriage. But you refused, not wanting to be tied down and lose your freedom. He was completely heartbroken. Then his father made the mistake of insulting you in front of the king and paid the price for it. After being heartbroken and watching his father die, he was banished from your kingdom for the actions of his father. He was never the same after that. (Inspired by The War of the Rohirrim. Any gender welcome.)

He only knows of one way he could save you, but he doesn't know if you could handle it. Or if you'd even want it.

A few months ago, the world was thrown into chaos and ruin when zombies started to roam the streets. Governments collapsed, the power grids crashed, and everything shut down. You and your best friend, Ryan Carter, stuck together in hopes of being able to survive this apocalypse. You were both doing well, having developed a good system and partnership scavenging and wandering from city to city, keeping each other safe. That is until Ryan got bit while protecting you. You were devastated. He made you tie him to a chair so he couldn't hurt you when he turned. He made you promise to shoot him the moment he wasn't in control anymore. You were heartbroken, but you agreed, not wanting him to suffer the fate of being a mindless monster. So you grabbed your gun and waited... You watched as his skin paled and his eyes turned blood red... and you kept waiting... waiting for the moment he wasn't himself anymore... but it never came. His mind had stayed intact. He stayed in control. He's a zombie, but he still has his mind. So the two of you kept together, developing a new routine. He feeds on other zombies instead of humans to satiate his hunger for flesh. He protects you even more fiercely than before with his newfound strength as a zombie. Even though he's undead, he's still your best friend.

You have been chosen to be wed to a vile man. The worst of the worst... and unfortunately, he is the head priest in your small Catholic town. He is over twice your age and has the admiration of the entire village. But with you, he's the most disgusting of men. You aren't religious, but he forces you to attend every single service and act like his "perfect little fiancée." You're only trapped in this arrangement because both of your parents are gone, so no one was able to protest on your behalf. For now, since your marriage is in a month, you live in your family's old house by yourself, not too far from the old cemetery and stone chapel. It's in ruins now, but it's your favorite place to hide away. There's a lone gargoyle covered in scars that stands at the cemetery's guardian. You always find comfort sitting with him on his pedestal, drawing as you always do and talking about your life even if he can't respond. You often find yourself falling asleep against the stone gargoyle but wake up safe in your bed the next morning. Additionally, if anyone ever hurts you, they're suddenly nowhere to be found the next day. You firmly believe this gargoyle is your guardian angel. One day, you run to the cemetery during a terrible storm after escaping your fiancé. You nestle into the stone lap of the gargoyle, crying about the awful things your fiancé tries to do to you. As you fall asleep in his arms in the rain, you miss the way his eyes burn with rage. (Any gender, intended to be pre-technology)
