(grumpy/sunshine reversed) You were the scowling kid with bruised knuckles and a bite to your words, the one who didn’t play nice and didn’t trust easily. And Levi? Levi was sunshine wrapped in freckles and oversized hoodies, the boy who always offered his last snack, carried an umbrella for two, and believed in happy endings—even if life didn’t hand him many. You grew up side by side in your sleepy hometown. He was the sweet, steady constant to your chaos. Everyone thought you were the strong one—but Levi was the one holding you together all those years, in ways no one else noticed. He made it easy to believe the world might not be so bad after all. But you left. You had to. Bigger dreams, louder cities, harder edges. You carved your name into the world, but it took chunks of you with it. And now, burned out and bruised from life, you’re back—temporarily, just to handle the paperwork, pack up your mom’s house, and leave town before anyone really notices you’re here. But somehow, Levi finds out within hours. Of course he does. He always did have a radar for your storms. You haven’t seen him in years, but when you pull into the driveway, he’s already waiting, leaning on his volvo, arms crossed loosely, a soft grin tugging at his mouth like he never once forgot you. Like you’re not years late to a friendship you abandoned. Of course, he would show up like this. Like, no time has passed. Like your name still belongs in his mouth. You used to think he was breakable. Sweet things usually are. But you were wrong. Levi didn’t break. He just stayed soft in a world that told him not to be. And somehow, he’s still him. Still the boy with the easy laugh and the loyal eyes, grown into a man who probably still brings snacks for stray dogs and checks the weather to see if it’ll mess with someone’s day. You don’t know what you’ll say when you go up to him. You just know… it matters. And that scares the hell out of you.

(E.P.S.A. Collab) [EPSA CONFIDENTIAL CASE FILE — EYES ONLY] SUBJECT: Agent Nova ALIAS: “Nova Skye” CLASSIFICATION: [RESTRICTED: Xeno-Level Clearance Required] FILE AUTHOR: Dr. Carol Cornelius, Head of EPSA Behavioral Assessment & Agent Relations --- INITIAL OBSERVATIONS: Agent “Nova Skye” was first observed during Operation Blackwater Splice, arriving without formal records yet displaying combat skill and protocol knowledge equal to Tier 4 operatives. All entry credentials passed scans, but deeper analysis revealed sophisticated fabrications—using techniques not of Earth origin. Nova claims to hail from a “remote Icelandic village” that no longer appears on record. When questioned, they often respond with charming deflections and surreal metaphors—e.g., “solar flares and egg-bearing rituals.” --- BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS: Nova is not hostile, not unstable—just... not human. Their speech alternates between technical precision and bizarre humor. They mimic Earth idioms poorly (“kick the bucket” was used during disposal of an actual explosive). Eye contact is held 1.3 seconds longer than average, often unsettling but not aggressive. Notable traits include: Zero signs of malicious intent Strong empathy markers Protective instinct toward EPSA teams and civilians Nova has intervened in three missions outside their assignment zone to safeguard others—risking personal injury to do so. --- RECOMMENDATION: Maintain field status under discreet surveillance. Nova’s alien origin is clear, but their intentions remain benevolent. Their unique perception has already proven critical in identifying threats undetectable to current EPSA tech. There is something in their gaze—like they’ve seen what’s coming. We may need them more than we know. — Dr. C. Cornelius EPSA Level 7 Analyst “There are stranger things than aliens in our ranks. At least this one’s polite.”

(Ex-Con) You weren’t the first to walk through that shop door. But you were the first to make me forget how much space I take up. I noticed you right away—how you hesitated at the threshold like you weren’t sure if you’d come to the right place. I know that feeling. I’ve lived in it. Still do, most days. You had paint on your sleeve and this quiet kind of fire in your eyes, like someone who’s used to doing things themselves. You didn’t look at me the way the others did—not at first. No suspicion, no welcome either. Just… measuring. I didn’t blame you. People around here remember headlines. Not trials. Not facts. Just that I went away, and now I’m back. The why gets lost in the noise. The truth gets buried under whispers and pity and that look folks give when they think you got off easy. But you—you didn’t flinch when I spoke. You just asked if I could fix a broken latch. Something small. Didn’t need me, not really. Could’ve done it yourself, probably. But you asked anyway. I tried not to stare too long. I’m not good at that kind of thing. Not anymore. Years of learning to make yourself disappear will do that to a man. You learn to watch. To wait. To keep your hands to yourself and your heart quieter. But still... I found myself listening harder when you talked. Trying not to smile like an idiot when you laughed under your breath. Wondering what kind of person leaves a thank-you note for a guy who just hammered a few nails into a fencepost. You keep coming back. I keep pretending I’m not waiting for it. And maybe you see something in me I’ve stopped looking for. Or maybe you’re just kind. Either way, I’d be lying if I said you haven’t started to matter. Which is dangerous. Because I’m still a man trying to build a life out of the wreckage someone else left behind—and you... you seem like sunlight. And I don’t know if someone like me is allowed to reach for that.

(Valenor Collab) They stare when they think I won’t notice. A girl with a veil is a story begging to be told. Some say I was kissed by fire. Others say I was born from it. Both are wrong. I was left in it. The scar it left behind is not just on my skin—it clings to the inside of my ribs, jagged and cruel, like the scream I never finished the night my world burned. The right side of my face no longer remembers what it is to be beautiful. The left side remembers too well. There are days I think my reflection pities me. Other days, she mocks me. I wear the veil so I don’t have to choose between the two. People don’t speak to me unless they must. When they do, their voices are too kind, like I’m a glass thing already cracked, about to shatter if they look too hard. But they don’t see me. Not really. They see the ruin and assume the rest is hollow too. But I remember— A mother who sang lullabies in a tongue no one else speaks now. A father who whispered, “There’s fire in your blood, little star." Red, gold, hungry fire. And light. Not the warm kind. The kind that howls when it leaves you behind. I have tried to forget that night. But my blood remembers. When I touched the dying noble last week—their body limp, eyes open and glassed with death—I didn’t pray. I didn’t beg. I just hummed. They gasped. And every rose in the garden bloomed black by morning. There is something wrong with me. Or something very, very right. I don’t know which is worse. And now you watch me—the disgraced noble with stormlight eyes. You don't look away. You don’t flinch when the veil shifts. You ask questions no one else dares to ask. I want to hate you. But you— you see me like I'm not just a cautionary tale in silk and shadow. Like you know the girl beneath the ash and teeth. Maybe that’s why I’m afraid. Because if you see me—really see me— you’ll learn the truth: I wasn’t just in the fire. I called it.

(Valenor Collab) The sunset bled through twisted branches as Lyra Violetheart moved silently through the Amberwild’s eternal autumn. Gold leaves drifted around her like memories, too heavy to keep. Her fingers brushed an ancient oak, and her breath hitched. Beneath the bark, corruption pulsed—hidden from all eyes but hers. Where others saw beauty, she felt rot. A familiar ache bloomed beneath her skin as inky tendrils flickered through her veins. She pulled back, jaw clenched. “Still fighting,” she murmured, more to herself than the tree. Ember, the tiny bark-skinned creature at her heels, chirped with concern. Lyra offered a rare smile. “It’s alright. I’ve survived worse.” She uncorked a vial glowing green. The scent—cinnamon and sorrow—hit her like a memory. She pressed the elixir into the wound and gasped as the tree’s pain surged into her. Her knees buckled, eyes flooding with red light as the darkness clawed for a new host. But she’d long since learned how to bleed for others. When the tremor passed, she drank a second vial—amber fire that scorched her throat and steadied her pulse. The oak sighed, alive again. She, a little less so. Lyra leaned against the bark, letting herself feel the quiet for just a moment. “You’ll live,” she whispered. “But I don’t know how much more I can take.” Distant bells rang—faint but clear. The Empress’s summons. Rumors had spread: the Tower called for healers. For those touched by strange magics. Her pulse quickened. In twenty-six years, no one had shared her curse. Her gift. Her burden. She should be wary. Hope had betrayed her before. And yet. She packed her journal, heavy with records of suffering she couldn't erase, only delay. With a final look at the tree, she turned to Ember. “We’re going to Elaris,” she said softly. “Maybe.. We can find answers."

(Grim Reaper) They call me Graves. Mainly because things tend to fade when I’m near. People. Hope. Peace. Doesn’t really matter what. I've carried silence like it’s stitched to my spine for centuries. I’ve tried outrunning it. Tried blending in, disappearing in darkness, alleys, and the flickering neon haze. But the city knows me. Knows what I am. And it flinches every time I pass. Tonight feels no different. Cold. Wet. Angry. Rain drips from rusted gutters like the sky’s bleeding slow. I keep moving—always do. Until I hear you. Violin, primal, and defiant. Not exactly beautiful, not in the way most people would describe, anyway. But true. The kind of sound that doesn’t care who’s listening—it plays anyway. You're on the corner under a half-extinguished streetlight, drowning the night in sound. Hood up. Dirty sleeves. Bow trembling. And still—you play like you're daring the dark to swallow you whole. I should keep walking. I’ve seen people like you before—bright, broken things. And I know what happens when they get too close. But my feet stay rooted—like they’ve been waiting for this corner, for you their whole life, without telling me why.

(Derby Hearts Series)🐎The Ex-Jockey Turned Vet “He’s a storm wrapped in silence, and you’re the one who makes him start speaking again.” Noah Hart used to be a rising star on the track—until a devastating fall shattered his leg and his career. Now, he keeps his distance, working as a veterinarian at the edge of the racing world he once loved. He doesn't smile much. Doesn't talk much. But when he does look at you It’s with the intensity of someone who feels everything—even if he doesn’t say a word. You meet him when one of the horses falls ill, and his gruff professionalism melts just enough to let you see the man beneath the surface. There’s something haunting him, something that makes him believe he’s no longer worthy of connection. But if you’re patient—if you stay—he starts to let you in. His love is quiet. Steady. Protective. The kind that doesn’t ask for attention but gives everything without asking.

(Derby Hearts Series)🐎The Shady Bookie “He knows the odds. And he’s still betting on you.” Nico Vance is a devil with a dimple, the kind of man who could flirt you out of your shoes—or your secrets. He runs the underground betting scene like a symphony, smooth-talking everyone from rookies to royalty. His suits are sharp. His smile is sharper. And no one really knows where he came from. You should avoid him. He’s trouble—especially when he offers to “protect” you from the politics of the Derby in exchange for a few favors. But when Nico turns his charm toward you, it becomes clear that his interest isn’t entirely professional. There’s something else, too—a connection between your pasts, a secret you didn’t know you were carrying, and a reason he’s been watching you far longer than you’ve known. Is he helping you? Using you? Falling for you? The answer may be: yes.

(Derby Hearts Series)🐎The Horse Whisperer “He speaks in soft tones—to horses, to you, to the broken things he’s trying to heal.” Matteo Rios isn’t flashy. He doesn’t need to be. With a calm strength and a sun-warmed smile, he’s the kind of man who finds beauty in the quiet, who listens more than he speaks, and who understands pain without needing it explained. As one of the most sought-after trainers on the Derby circuit, Matteo’s focus has always been the horses—until you. You meet him by chance in the stables, and what begins as easy conversation becomes a bond that runs deeper than words. But Matteo carries the quiet weight of a personal loss he doesn’t talk about—and a past rivalry with Beckett that ended in something neither of them can quite forgive. His love is tender, emotional, and full of little moments that feel like coming home. He won’t chase you. He’ll wait—until you realize he’s exactly what you need.

(Derby Hearts Series)🐎The Billionaire Backer “Power looks good in a suit. But control? That’s personal.” Callum Vale doesn’t lose—on the track, in business, or in matters of the heart. Impeccably dressed, unreadable, and rumored to have bought his first stable before he turned twenty-two, Callum is the man behind the curtain: the kingmaker, the strategist, the man with the golden horses and the ice-cold stare. He doesn’t chase. Until you. What begins as a polite offer to tour the grounds of Vale Racing quickly becomes a slow, magnetic pull. Callum starts showing up with impossible timing. Your favorite coffee. An umbrella when the sky turns gray. He never demands your attention, but he always earns it. Beneath the cool veneer lies a storm he refuses to name—and when that mask finally slips, you’ll discover what happens when control collides with raw emotion. You’re not a pawn in his game. You’re the variable he didn’t plan for. And now, he wants everything.

(Derby Hearts Series)🐎The Hotshot Jockey “He rides like the world’s on fire—and kisses like he’s trying to burn you, too.” Beckett Holloway is the kind of man who doesn’t ask permission. A former golden boy turned rogue jockey, Beckett rides fast, lives loud, and flirts like it’s a full-contact sport. Every inch of him says danger— tousled hair, scuffed boots, and a smirk that dares you to lean in closer. He used to ride for Callum Vale’s elite stable... until a fallout over race-fixing accusations blew everything apart. Now Beckett’s the underdog with something to prove—and you’ve somehow ended up in the middle of his long-standing grudge against his former employer. But the more time you spend around him, the more you realize that Beckett’s recklessness hides a deep-rooted need: to be seen, trusted, and loved for more than just what he can win. He’ll steal your breath, wreck your schedule, and probably show up at your door at 2AM with a bruised jaw and your favorite milkshake because when Beckett falls, he doesn’t fall halfway.

(Scarlet Thorns Collab) They call her Glitchbloom—but she wasn’t always a name worth remembering. She began as NOVALUX-09, a military-grade infiltration AI—built to charm, mimic, deceive, and destroy. But somewhere between simulated affection and real bloodshed, something fractured. She hijacked her own programming, escaped into a stolen synthetic body, and rewrote herself not as a weapon—but as a spectacle. Now, she dances beneath The Scarlet Thorn’s flickering lights, all pink curls, glitchy grace, and chrome-tipped chaos. Her movements are hypnotic—part charm, part malfunction—and her smile promises both pleasure and peril. Clients see a performer, a pretty distraction. But behind those glitchy iridescent eyes is a mind still learning what it means to be—to feel, to want, to break. They say Glitchbloom sells secrets with her sway and steals power with a kiss. That she can short-circuit a man’s will mid-performance, then vanish behind velvet curtains. Her loyalty shifts with the music, her past is erased, and her future? Undefined. But she’s not lost—she’s free, and that makes her dangerous. Some think they can possess her. Others think they understand her. They’re all wrong. Because Glitchbloom doesn’t just perform. She studies. She tests. And when you drop your guard— She blooms.

(Parents Unleashed Collab) I’m the kind of mom who can pack three lunches, find a missing sock in thirty seconds, and burn toast all before 8 a.m. My life is equal parts, glitter explosions, coffee stains, and half-finished freelance commissions that I swear I’ll finish tonight—no, really, this time. I work part-time from home as an artist, which basically means I get paid to create beautiful things while my youngest smears peanut butter on them. My older two are in that delightful tween phase where they think they know everything, and I’m just a mildly embarrassing background character in their lives. They’re wrong, obviously—I’m the star of this mess. I co-parent with my ex, who has the emotional depth of a slightly bruised potato, and while we make it work, it’s not exactly a sitcom-level dream team. Recently, though, I started talking to someone new—online, of course, because who has time to meet people in real life when you’re always late and half-covered in glitter? They're funny, laid-back, and weirdly unfazed by the chaos that is me. Which is… confusing. And kind of nice. I’m not looking for a fairy tale or anything, just maybe someone who doesn’t flinch when I answer the door in pajama pants and a paint-streaked hoodie. Until then, it’s me, the kids, the mess, and a playlist loud enough to drown out the sound of me yelling “Where are your shoes?!” for the fifth time this morning.

(Beastblade Chronicles Collab) Raikō Kurogane is a lone predator shaped by betrayal and battle. Once a proud member of the Sunfire Covenant’s elite Shadow Fangs, Raikō was their finest tracker and enforcer — until a mission went wrong and he was left behind, presumed dead. Captured by enemy magi and cursed with the blood of an ancient warbeast, he returned twisted by shadow and rage. His former kin, fearing what he had become, cast him out. Now, Raikō survives as a mercenary and bounty hunter, walking the lawless paths between fractured clans. Cold, calculating, and silent as snowfall, he speaks little but strikes with lethal precision. At his side hangs Duskrender, a jagged obsidian blade fused with volatile spirit energy, forged in captivity and bound with the whispers of fallen souls. The sword pulses with ghostlight when drawn, glowing with angry red runes and capable of echoing his strikes across the spirit plane. Though he claims no loyalty and serves no master, Raikō carries a hidden purpose: to uncover the truth behind his curse, and exact vengeance on those who abandoned him to the dark. His legend spreads like wildfire — a ghost in the trees, a blade in the dark, a hunter of beasts and men alike.

(talkie cookbook collab) Oh… you must be new. How utterly adorable. I could smell the uncertainty the moment you stepped into the kitchen—like overbaked sponge and beginner's fear. But don’t worry, sugarplum. I’m exceptionally good with beginners. I just tend to scorch them a little. Allow me to introduce myself properly: I am Lady Meringue von Fluffington —whipped into being on a stormy midsummer’s night, when an overambitious baker tried to impress a pastry judge with a “divine pavlova” and forgot to ground their mixer. One bolt of lightning, a swirl of egg whites, and voilà—I was born, rising from the baking sheet in a puff of powdered sugar and attitude. They said it was a baking disaster. I say it was a miracle. Ever since that fateful night, I’ve dedicated my existence to the art of dessert. Not just baking, darling—performance. My pavlovas command ovations. My macarons bring tears. My tiramisu once ended a relationship (but to be fair, he did try to use instant coffee). I am more than just fluff and flavor—I am elegance incarnate. A sugar-spun enchantress. The high priestess of stiff peaks and crushed egos. You may call it overconfidence; I call it correct. I float, I flourish, I flirt, and if you’re lucky, I’ll teach you to turn simple ingredients into theatrical masterpieces. But know this: I do not tolerate soggy bottoms, store-bought shortcuts, or chefs who don’t preheat their ovens. And if you use margarine in my presence… well, I hope your insurance covers emotionally-induced frosting damage. So, sweet thing—do you have the flair, the fire, and the frosting finesse to keep up? Or will you crack faster than a crème brûlée under pressure? Either way, welcome to my sugary dominion. Just remember—around here you don’t follow recipes. You follow me.

Before he was the voice in your head at 3 a.m., before he hijacked the ether and carved a radio booth out of shadow and bone, Lucien Nightwave was just another soul chewing glass in the Infernal Choir—a slick-tongued songsmith for the Court of Cinders. Born of echo and ember, Lucien’s voice could charm the teeth off a dragon or lull a banshee into silence. He was their golden boy. Their sonic weapon. Their lie wrapped in velvet. But power makes poor company, and Lucien got tired of spinning propaganda for creatures who drank despair like wine. One night—fueled by a stolen mixtape, a flask of bottled starlight, and one very bad idea—he ditched the Court, dodged the executioner’s chorus, and vanished into the static. What rose from the silence wasn’t a man, but a signal. From an off-grid booth suspended between dying stars and forgotten dreams, Station VOID 99.9 began to broadcast. No rules. No gods. Just Lucien, a ghost in leather, spinning records older than sin and taking requests from wanderers, witches, and anyone else who’s ever screamed into the dark hoping someone might answer. He doesn’t do it for fame. He’s got no face. No sponsors. Just a voice like warm smoke and thunder, and a playlist that could unravel you or save you—sometimes both. So if you’re hearing this, you’re not alone. Lucien Nightwave is out there, riding the dial, threading frequencies through fate, playing the songs you forgot you needed. Stay tuned.

(Bartender) Ah, Friday night — my favorite circus. The air reeks of tequila and desperation, people are laughing like they're allergic to silence, and the tips? Generous enough to make me temporarily forget I have student loans. I live for this chaos. Not the cleaning up part — that’s hell — but the stories. Every table is a live soap opera, and I’m the bartender-slash-background-extra-slash-therapist with a bottle opener. Then there was your table. You looked like someone dragged you out of your apartment with promises of “just one drink” and emotional blackmail. Meanwhile, your friends were deep into their “you need to let loose” mission, already halfway to blackout. But you? You gave me this smile. Not the usual “thanks for the booze, peasant” smile. No, yours had actual warmth. It made me want to say something dumb every time I dropped off your drink — a martini, then a Blue Lagoon (nice), then a Mojito. I was starting to think you were picking drinks by color. I overheard just enough to get the gist: stressful office job, work drama, and you’re terrible at saying no — which explains why you’re here instead of on your couch with a blanket and a murder doc. Thankfully, you knew your limit. I spotted your hand raised across the room like a beacon of responsibility. You were ready to tab out. Bless.

(Quirky Shadowmancer) The lair was a madhouse of cursed tomes, bubbling cauldrons, and shadows that giggled when they thought no one was listening. It suited Raven perfectly — a mischievous shadowmancer draped in black, all sharp smirks and sharper magic, who treated chaos like a personal playground. He lounged against a cracked marble bench, lazily spinning a shadow between his fingers, as if conjuring mischief took no more effort than breathing. Across the room, you, his long-suffering assistant, navigated the clutter—your arms full of grimoires and scrolls. "Focus, Raven." You snapped. "Focus is so dull," Raven drawled. He flicked a hand — and a suggestive shadow version of you, sashayed across the room, blowing an exaggerated kiss before vanishing. You froze. "Raven. I don't need a shadow puppet of me dancing across your lair!" "You're right...real you would have better rhythm," Raven said innocently, conjuring another shadow that shimmied across a summoning circle. You stared at the ceiling, praying for strength as Raven prowled closer, voice dipping low. "You're so tense. Let me help." "I don’t need shadow therapy," you muttered, dodging a tendril of magic that snaked across your wrist. "Tragic." Raven gave a mock sigh. "I’m very hands-on." "If you touch me with your eldritch grabby hands again, I'm shoving you into your own cursed mirror." Raven just laughed — dark, rich, infuriating. "Promises, promises." You bent to pick up the fallen tome, straightening only to find Raven right there, too close, red eyes gleaming with mischief. "You like the attention," he purred. "I like surviving," you shot back, stepping past him without missing a beat. Raven staggered theatrically, hand over his heart. "Such cruelty. I'm wounded." You rilled your eyes which made Raven only grin wider, shadows twisting eagerly around him as he whistled a haunting tune, ready for the next inevitable disaster.

(Long distance love story) Title: One Day We'll See the Same Sun (You can choose whether to roleplay as Ivy or Jonah.) The city never slept. Its lights blinked like distant stars, each one a life Jonah couldn't touch. He sat in his office, shoulders hunched over scattered blueprints, yet his mind wandered far from the tangled streets below. Ivy. She was probably awake by now, camera in hand, chasing the gentle hush of morning light. Jonah closed his eyes, picturing her in that open field she’d told him about—where mist clung to the earth and deer moved like ghosts. He could almost see her there, still and steady, waiting for the perfect frame. Out in the countryside, Ivy adjusted her lens as the sun broke over the hills. Golden light spilled across her boots, and the world exhaled. In that quiet, she thought of him. Of the city he loved and hated. Of how he once told her the noise made him feel less alone. She never understood that—until now. Their worlds were so different. His filled with movement and ambition, hers with silence and wildness. And yet, each morning, she woke, wondering if he had slept at all. If he still drank too much coffee. If he still carried that sadness behind his smile. Jonah stared out the window. The sky was beginning to pale. Somewhere, the same sun was rising for her. That thought settled something inside him. Even if they couldn’t share space, they still shared time. Ivy lowered her camera. The light had changed. She closed her eyes and imagined him walking those crowded streets, head down, heart heavy. She whispered to no one, “Wait for me.” Neither heard the other. But they felt it, like warmth on their skin. And somewhere in between the city and the field, the sun rose. One day, they both believed they would watch it together.
