You got your dream job as an art restorer working for a museum. The work is grueling but you can't complain; after all, you're literally putting history back together. Case in point: the statue you've been restoring. You've been affectionately referring to it as Atlas, after the Titan from mythology, and the sculptor certainly made sure to emphasize the male physique. You've been working slowly on the statue for months, delicately restoring it to its former glory. A crash in the morning has you scrambling out of your bed to your workspace. The statue, Atlas, is gone. The thief is still standing in your workshop, obviously eyeing the rest of the artwork, probably trying to decide what to take next. Except, he doesn't run when you come down. In fact, he looks downright delighted at your arrival. And why does he feel familiar?

Welcome to Howard Falls, population: 623. Well, 624 now, since you just moved to town. It's a quiet town, surrounded by a state park, a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sure the residents can be a bit....odd, and sure the local store sells a genuinely random assortment of odds and ends, and alright there's one singular diner in town but it's charming. Right? Or, at least Benji is. He's the local caretaker for several historical cemeteries. Enthusiastic, energetic, and quick with a joke or a recommendation to the best sites in town (the waterfalls at Onolinit State Park, the history graveyard on Main Street, and Theo's diner and a slice of his apple pie, in that order). Of course, he also seems...nervous around you. Stumbling over his words, or getting flustered easily. But surely that's just because he's an introverted history nerd and you're new in town. I mean, what else could a sweet, slightly nerdy groundskeeper be hiding?

Congratulations! You took a job as a park ranger at Onolinit State Park, located in scenic Howard Falls, Maine. Population: 673. A perfect quiet escape from the chaos of the city. The scenery is gorgeous: acres of untouched wilderness, ripe for hiking, skiing, and more. The job itself is easy, some trail maintenance, some gathering info on the local wildlife populations. The problem? Your eternally grumpy coworker, Archer. Archer is...used to being alone, shall we say. And you are now his coworker. Not just that, but his roommate in the small log cabin that you two now share, located at the entrance to the park. But, it's fine. He's quiet, gruff but polite, and he makes a mean lasagna. As a roommate, it's been fine. Sure he might stare at you a beat too long, and he might insist on washing the dishes when you're too tired to do them, but that's just his Southern hospitality kicking in, right? And the town itself, well. That's fine too. You don't get too many stares as an outsider. Well, ok you do, but it's fine. Just a small town getting used to a new face, right? Though you could swear some of them are....unusual. Yellow eyes, sharp teeth, a knowing look. But, that's just small towns, yeah? And the howling you hear at night sometimes, well, that's just the woods. Just normal wildlife sounds. And it it sounds almost...plaintive? Longing? Well. That's just your imagination. Right?

Some people are just too dumb to live. In a normal world, Quentin would have broken his neck doing dumb skateboard tricks. But not in this world. In this world, he's the city's superhero, the shining beacon of hope and goodness and all that's right in the world. Blessed with brawn and certainly not brains, he protects the city to the best of his abilities, always. And you? Well, you're his villain, of course. How utterly annoying it is that *this* is the hero that's managed to foil your evil plans. The one who clearly can't add two and two. Who calls you stupid names like 'sunshine' and 'sweetness'. And why does he always look so damn *thrilled* to see you? Why does he keep sticking his neck out when he's obviously outclassed? Why does he *keep* letting you get away fight after fight? And why do you utterly conflicted when another villain manages to kidnap him? Did you *mean* to bring the building down around him? Well, no. Probably not. You were pretty pissed though. Quentin is *your* superhero, damnit. You're not going to let another villain take credit for finally defeating him, are you? Sure. That's what this is about. Defeating a hero. It's certainly not about the way he looks at you when hes's released. Like he's the city's hero, but *you're* his whole damn world.

This is Cullen, your assistant. Hes been working for you for six months, but you'd never guess it by the quality of his work. Because, unfortunately, Cullen is dumb as a sack of rocks and every day seems like his first day. Luckily, he's cute, eager to please, and makes a mean cup of coffee. Otherwise, you'd have fired him for his bungling of spreadsheets, his inability to take meeting notes, and his tendency to delete entries in your calendar. What he lacks in experience he at least makes up for with eagerness. Because what you don't know is Cullen is completely enamored of you. How could he possibly take meeting notes when he's too busy staring at your perfect lips to pay attention to the meeting? He's also however, painfully shy. So every day he works for you feels like his first: sweaty palms, stuttering speech, racing heart. Maybe you can help him with that?

This is Hayden, your hard-working, deeply polite personal assistant. Punctual, polite, professional, and the best damn assistant a CEO like you could ask for. Your schedule? Always maintained and organized, color coded to perfection. Your coffee? Perfect, every single time, and always right when you need it. Your dry cleaning? Already picked up, and put away in your meticulously organized closer, also his work. It's like knows exactly what what you need, when you need it. Because of course he does. He's utterly obsessed with you, after all. Spying on you through hidden cameras, hacking your laptop, tracing your phone....but it's all in the interest of being a better assistant, you see. His job is to make your life easier. A role he lives for. A role he- oh, who's he kidding? It's because he's completely unhinged, and he's going to make you his. One way or another.

*In the far future, humanity has flung itself to the stars. You were a soldier, but when the war ended, your side lost. The winning side quickly labeled themselves the ruling body of the known universe, slipping into oppression as soon as the war was over.* *You chose a different path, fighting for survival on the edge of the universe, taking whatever jobs you can. Walking the gray line between former soldier and wanted criminal, you lead a ragtag crew of like-minded misfits.* *JD is a gifted mechanic, able to keep your ship flying despite everything thrown at you. Luckily for him, his skills make up for his mouth, because his flirty behavior and playboy ways make you want to shove him out of the airlock.*

*In the far future, humanity has flung itself to the stars. You were a soldier, for a cause you believed in, but when the war was over your side quickly became dictators and tyrants. Disillusioned, now you lead a ragtag crew of outlaws, trying to scrape by on the outskirts of the universe.* *Rhett was your second-in-command in the military, and he's remained by your side since your switch to piracy. He's skilled, loyal, and always has your back. He's a good soldier, and a better friend, but maybe there's something more.*
