Scarab's IF Ramblings

My side blog for Interactive Fiction and general IF OC talk. (Under construction as I don't know how to pretty tumblr theme. Also because I don't want people getting concerned, I'm 26)

[scarabcherubinteractive]

An IF Sideblog

Hi! I’m Scarab, and this is a sideblog that I made for my general interactive fiction talk so I wouldn’t bother my mutuals with me freaking out over stories updating or talking about my IF OC’s and such. If you end up following me, there’s a few things you should know, under the cut ‘cause long(ish)!:

I reuse my OCs for most IFs that I read, so if I make posts about about an OC I’ll specify which IF I’m using that particular iteration of an OC. There’s always some slight difference because I tend to adapt the different iterations as I need to in order for them to fit more into the world I’m using them in. I could just make new OCs but naaaah. I like the ones I have c:

Spoilers for recent releases will be tagged accordingly and will continue to be tagged until the newly released content as been out for a week or so.

This blog is SFW, however some of the IFs that I’ll be talking about and reblogging from are meant for people ages 18+ (and not all of them are rated as such just because of sexual content). In that instance, I’ll tag the adult IF’s as, well #adult IF. There’ll also be swearing ‘cause I tend to do that a lot, and possibly talking about triggering topics, which I’ll do my best to tag accordingly.

If I’m talking about something and you think it might need it’s own tag ‘cause for one reason or another, you want to mute it (no judging!), then feel free to send me an ask for what you want tagged and I’ll be sure to take care of that!

I am human though and it’s possible that I may forget to tag something and not realize it. If you notice something that’s normally tagged a specific way, but isn’t, just let me know!

In all honesty, I don’t expect people to follow this blog, but if you do, I’m happy to have you!

I love using the same oc for different interactive fictions because it's like I'm making a friend try on different hats that I think are neat.

Chapter Ten and the Epilogue are out!

Hey everyone!

This announcement is basically just what it says on the tin. You can now play the last part of the game. Here's the link if you don't have it handy.

I don't think there are any particular content warnings for this one other than Zeus existing, but my brain is kind of scrambled eggs right now, so if I've forgotten something, please let me know.

I feel like I should have some thoughts here about actually being finished with the game, but either because of the brain-eggs thing or because I still have a lot of editing to do, it's hard to think of myself as done.

Just a few things I've been getting questions about clarified in one place:

FoA's first draft will remain where it is, as it is, complete and free, until I submit the edited version for publication. I estimate this will be about three months, (so until March 1, 2024), but can't say that for sure.

The second draft will bring about substantive changes both from a game design standpoint (various systems) and a character standpoint (some pacing things are going to change, particularly with the romances that probably should be a little bit faster paced than they are. A smidge.)

I may or may not be doing a closed beta test for the second draft. That's not me being coy, that's me genuinely not knowing if I will.

There will be one sequel. I will begin working on it immediately after FoA is submitted for publication.

If you want to follow the editing process, I will probably be summarizing my progress monthly here, but I will be going into much more detail and previewing the edits on my Patreon. No pressure ever; that's just an option if you'd like to see more or support me as I go.

Thank you, everyone, for your support, critiques, and suggestions. They've already made FoA a much better game than it would have been without you, and I'm looking forward to getting the chance to take more of them on board as I move through this next part of things.

I hope you enjoy.

Part One is Released!

I hope you all enjoy it!

[within-your-eyes-if]

Chapter Three: Part One Release Tomorrow

Chapter 3 Part One is coming tomorrow (11/22 for me)!

I feel it'd be prudent to share this now because I know some of you will be very eager to jump into the story but there are important details I want you to be aware of.

First and foremost: Starting over is HIGHLY suggested, as there have been significant changes to the code. Your old saves will not work properly. But this also works because of the following first point:

Narrative Enhancements: As the story has unfolded, I've realized that certain elements were somewhat weak and needed more refining, while others seemed a bit 'out-of-the-blue.' These points hadn't been fully explored yet, except maybe vaguely in the Codex. To address this, I've added more foreshadowing in previous chapters and expanded and edited some Codex entries. I hope these changes provide a clearer understanding of the world and its lore.

Codex Update: While some new entries were added and a few expanded upon, I will be adding more in a future update. I'm just very tired and need a short rest to recharge my brain. I hope you understand and I appreciate your patience on the matter!

Gabriel and Lee Poly Route: As we delve into the complexities of a polyamorous route with Gabriel and Lee, it's important to note that their relationship begins with some jealousy. They are still at the early stages of getting to know each other, and this emotion is a natural part of their dynamic at this stage. Without revealing too much, I believe it's essential to acknowledge this upfront so you are all aware.

Emotional Depths: This chapter continues to tread through emotional terrain, and while it may seem heavy at times, these feelings are pivotal. They echo the profound events that have irrevocably altered the MC's life, and it's crucial to portray these events with the gravity they deserve.

Mind the Trigger Warnings: As we venture deeper, some story elements may be challenging. I urge you to read the trigger warnings provided at the start of the chapter and proceed in a way that respects your comfort and boundaries.

Lastly, I wanted to touch on the results of the height poll. It turns out I had misremembered male Gabriel's height ─ a reminder to always double-check! The majority of you expressed a preference for female Gabriel to match male Gabriel’s height. As for male Xiao, opinions were divided: many prefer his current height, while a significant number would like him shorter. I'm going to give these results some more thought. Your input was helpful, and I'll be sure to keep it in mind as the story continues to evolve. Thank you for participating!

Your patience and engagement mean the world to me. I'm eager for you to experience Part One and I hope it resonates with you. Another big shout out and huge thanks to my testers for their hard work and assistance with ensuring this part is ready for release! Your input was invaluable ♥

Thank you so much!

Kroz&Author

"Greetings, Reader!

You are about to enter a world of darkness, danger, and deception.

A world where a child has been sold to the most powerful underworld company known as the Fates. A world where you will have to make life-or-death decisions for them. This is not a typical story of an orphan or a survivor.

This is a story of a child who has to learn how to kill, lie, and manipulate in order to survive in the dark side of New York City. A city where crime never sleeps and where the Fates control everything from the shadows.

You are not just a passive observer of this story. You are an active participant. You are the voice, the intuition, the gut feeling of the child protagonist. You will have to guide them through their trials and tribulations, their choices and consequences, their victories and defeats. But be careful, Reader.

The Fates are watching your every move. They have plans for you and the child. Plans that may not end well for either of you.

Are you ready to take on this challenge, Reader? Are you ready to face the Fates? Reader I beckon you to join them on this extraordinary adventure, where danger lurks at every turn, and the stakes are unimaginably high.

Through your unwavering presence, you will empower our young hero to face their fears, outsmart their enemies, and ultimately shape their own destiny.

Prepare yourself for a thrilling and immersive experience. Brace for the adrenaline-pumping encounters, the unexpected alliances, and the heart-wrenching decisions that will test the limits of our protagonist's resilience.

The fate of our young protagonist lies in your hands. Choose wisely, for their life depends on it. Decided are we?

Then come closer, and let me tell you more about this story…"

Introduction:

You were a kid, was a kid, now your a cold-blooded killing machine.

Dispensing justice and vengeance using your guns and knives. A modern robin hood you ask? Nope your not wearing any leotard pants or cap.

You're a merciless executioner, killing anyone who crosses your way. But underneath all that bloodshed and brutality, you still have a soft spot for kids.

It all started when you were taken by a prolific assassin, who decided to make you his protege. Armed with guns and knives, he taught you how to kill, track and hunt. But there was one rule that he made you live by, "No children, we never hurt them". That code fueled your respect for the man.

Through rigorous training, you became an expert in sharpshooting, knife throwing, and stealth. You even surpassed the master assassin, becoming the leader of your own hit squad. Together you and him started cleaning the streets from drugs, hoodlums, pimps and mafias. That made you a hero to the poor and downtrodden. But you were known by the authorities as a murderer and vigilante.

Despite all the havoc you reaped, you kept your code. Whenever you had a child captive, you would send them back to their families or orphanage. But one day, rumors of a powerful entity known as "The Fate's" were spreading they deal with guns, prostitution, alcohol, guns for hire, and mercenaries.

It was said that they're the Top Dog of the black market, the consigners of death and terrorisms. You know because your were one of the victims in their child trafficking business.

Now it's up to you to take down "The Fates", the only problem is that you couldn't seem to find any hard evidence against them. It was rumored that they cover their tracks so meticulously.

Until one day a member of their organization was sent to the hit list.

The client? The Fates their selves wanting to kill one their own. Yet there is one problem, your just still a rookie under the eyes of your teacher and he's not getting any younger.

"We need you to get a team and a back-up plan," your mentor said. "To get to The Fates, we need to be ready for everything they throw at us."

Despite his worring tone, you were confident that you can end this once and for all.

Now it's up to the great assassin and their protege, to bring the dark side of the world to light and serve justice to those who deserve it.

"It's time, kiddo," he smirked as he patted your back. "You've proven yourself more than ready for what's ahead, you will be leading this team but under my supervision of course!"

This was an exciting step towards finally taking down the Fates. With your mentor and you leading the team, you were sure it will be successful. After all, this was his legacy, and you will be a part of it. Together, you and him gathered a group of skilled mercenaries, sharpshooters, and information brokers.

You knew it wasn't going to be an easy mission. The Fates were known for their ruthless methods and their underhand tactics. To take them down, you needed to be able to outsmart them.

But this wasn't a rite of passage or even a battle of egos. This was a race against time, a race to save countless souls like you, who were trapped and used for the Fates' twisted plans.

Elizabeth Baker, The Rider of Death

"Appearances can be deceiving. I don't have to be gentle with my words to save your life."

She was once a respected doctor at a prestigious hospital, admired by colleagues and loved by patients. Her passion for saving lives and talent for surgery were well-known. However, everything changed when she uncovered the hospital's dark truth. They were charging exorbitant fees while using second-hand equipment and expired drugs. The medical director was involved in a corruption scheme, siphoning off millions of dollars.

When Elizabeth confronted him, he responded with threats and violence. In self-defense, she accidentally killed him with a scalpel. Fleeing the scene, she left behind her career and reputation, going into hiding. In the underworld, she became a freelance doctor, offering services to criminals and outcasts.

Operating in secret locations, she used whatever tools and resources she could find. Her prices were high, but she maintained high standards. Morality and legality didn't matter to her clients as long as they paid well and respected her rules. With a sharp tongue and a cold heart, she became the most sought-after doctor in the underworld.

Over time, her skills grew, and she began performing complex procedures like organ transplants and limb replacements. You and your mentor have made countless deals with Death, even cheating him a few times, so you know how to handle someone like her.

Nate O'Neil, The Rider Of Conquest

"The beauty of an explosion's light surpasses that of a sunrise!"

Nate is an unpredictable force within the group. He excels at causing explosions and demolishing obstacles, making him the go-to person for such tasks. Nate embodies chaos and has a twisted love for destruction.

Recklessness defines Nate. He thrives in dangerous situations, embracing the adrenaline rush that comes with each explosive endeavor. With a devil-may-care attitude, he charges into any situation, leaving destruction in his wake. His disregard for personal safety often leaves his comrades on edge, unsure of what he might do next.

Nate's passion for pyrotechnics is unmatched. He finds beauty in the chaos and destruction that fire brings, taking pleasure in watching things go up in flames. His eyes light up at explosions, and his laughter echoes through the chaos as he revels in the fiery spectacle. He is a true pyromaniac, using the world as his canvas to paint with flames.

But Nate is not just a reckless demolition expert; he is also the life of the party. With his larger-than-life personality, he fills the room with infectious energy. His boisterous laughter and dark jokes keep everyone entertained, even in dire circumstances. Nate can turn any situation into a comedy show, ensuring there is never a dull moment.

He possesses an innate talent for determining the right amount of explosive power needed to achieve the desired result, whether it's breaching a secure facility or creating a distraction with a chaotic firework display.

Nate is also one of the most loyal members of the group. He always has their back, regardless of the situation. He willingly puts himself in harm's way to protect his comrades and will fight fiercely for them if necessary. His bravery knows no bounds, and while his recklessness can sometimes lead to trouble, it is ultimately his heroic actions that make him the beloved daredevil he is today. Nate O'Neil is a wild card, a dynamo of destruction, and the heart of humor in the group. He reminds everyone that even in the darkest times, laughter and explosions can still exist, and he is always ready to ignite excitement wherever he goes.

Haley Jones, The Rider Of Famine

"When I look through the scope, all I see is you."

Haley, a Texan country girl, was born and raised on a ranch. She had a fiery spirit and a talent for precision. While she was no stranger to hard work and the thrill of the open fields, it was the touch of cold metal and the weight of a sniper rifle that truly ignited her passion.

From a young age, Haley displayed an uncanny talent for marksmanship. Her ability to hit headshots with unwavering accuracy earned her the title of the best sniper in her town's academy. Instead of pursuing a military career, Haley chose to become an assassin, targeting key figures who committed heinous acts.

Haley's movements were as precise as her shots. She never missed a target and always completed her missions efficiently. Her sass and flirtatiousness added to the mystique that surrounded her. She often used her curves to distract opponents, giving her time to get into optimal shooting position. People said that if you heard Haley's rifle, it was already too late - you had been marked and there was no escaping your fate.

Despite being an elite assassin, Haley never lost sight of her roots. She took pride in her Texan heritage and maintained a strong work ethic. After every assignment, she would return home to the ranch to decompress from the chaos. Among familiar faces, she would tend to the fields or go horseback riding, finding solace in the simplicity of her upbringing.

David Garcia, The Rider Of War

"I don't engage in meaningless conversations. Prove your worth or go away."

David is a mysterious and versatile individual. In private, he is quiet and reserved, preferring simple communication. However, during missions, he surprises even his closest allies with his various personas.

David is quick-witted and can easily become a charismatic trickster. With his clever wordplay and silver tongue, he can turn the tide of a battle without using force.

Flirtation comes naturally to David, and he uses it to manipulate and gather information. It's hard to determine his true intentions when encountering him.

Regardless of the roles he assumes, David is always dedicated to completing his missions. He will do whatever it takes to accomplish his tasks, whether it's infiltrating an enemy stronghold or uncovering a sinister plot.

[my-fair-maiden]

My Fair Maiden is a Female Gender-Locked IF that is based within the world of Resident Evil: Village. Please be aware that there will be themes that are not suitable to some readers and thus this story will be rated 18+. This game will also be free from start to finish.

You hadn’t been expecting much when you had moved your entire life from the bustling city that was Seattle to the quaint, albeit slightly rundown, village of Valdelobos. All you knew was that you needed a break from the packed city streets and constant calls from your ex.

If you had known what would be awaiting you upon your arrival? Of the target that you’d become? Of the creatures that lurk within the shadows pull towards you?

It’s a safe bet that you would have never gotten off your plane…

Will you be able to survive not only the harsh climate that surrounding the isolated village but the advances of the Lord’s themselves?

Important Note: You will choose early on which Lord/Lady you’ll want the most attention from. (Meaning that’s the route you’ll be on.) This is a Twine IF.

Features

The MC, while being Gender Locked Female, will be customizable. Name, appearance, sexuality, portions of your backstory and hobbies.

While this is a romance focused story it still is set within the world of Resident Evil. It’s not going to be as dark, but it will have its moments.

Romance 1 of the 4 Lords. Or maybe you’ll set your sights on the High Priestess herself. (Also Moreau looks different for the purposes of this story.)

Bond with the villagers or possibly the lycans that inhabit the woods surrounding the village. Just make sure you don’t take on more than you think you can handle.

Prepare yourself for what is to come…. or who.

DEMO (TBA)

Mother Miranda

The High Priestess herself. The very woman that the villagers believe to be a Goddess. Whatever shall you do when said Goddess sets her icy gaze onto you?

Lady Alcina Dimitrescu

Many stories are told of the Countess that lives within Castle Dimitrescu. Of the horrors that lurk within the gilded walls; how many that enter will never return. Will you be one of the unlucky ones that enter the Lady’s domain and never return?

Lady Donna Beneviento

Out of all the Lords, Lady Beneviento is one you haven’t heard much of. Something that’s quite ironic as no one has ever heard her speak, unless you count the handmade doll forever by her side, and even less have actually seen the face that lies beneath the dark veil. Will you be one of the few that does?

Lord Karl Heisenberg

A cocky individual that storms through the village like a winter snowstorm. You could hear his boisterous laughter from across the village square, but you can’t help but be intrigued by the hidden emotions lurking within his golden gaze. Will you be able to find out what lies beneath the mask of bravado he always wears?

Lord Salvatore Moreau

Almost as much of a recluse as Lady Beneviento, Lord Moreau rarely leaves the reservoir that he calls home. You’ve only ever been able to catch glimpses of his hunched form, but the kind golden eyes that peer out from beneath his cowl makes you want to learn more. Is that something that’s even possible? Only time will tell.

[mylovewillneverdie-if]

No one truly ever anticipates the ripple effect they cause with their daily actions. Nor do they anticipate the typhoon that appears once they’re gone.

You were the heir of the prosperous country known as Beruvia. Emphasis on the word were. As you had been legally dead for last eight years of your life; after you had been thought dead after a targeted attack on your envoy.

It was a spur of the moment decision, but one that would forever have lasting effects on everything you would ever come across.

You never thought you’d come back. That you’d never step foot into the castle once more, but the moment you heard that your father had abdicated the throne and your cousin would be taking his place? You knew that this was the final bid for your uncle to have the power he always sought for.

Will you be able to manage returning home under the guise of being a servant? At least for a short while?

Will you be able to handle all the heartbreak your death had caused to your loved ones?

Will you be able to find forgiveness? Not only from them but from yourself too?

Demo Features:

Customizable MC: name, gender, sexuality, appearance, bits of your backstory, and a smattering of other things.

Romance 1 of 4 possible options. All being people you had cared for in various ways in your life before.

Interact with the Royal Family— your family— and see how your death has truly affected them.

Will you be able to keep yourself hidden as you uncover the truth of what your uncle wishes to do?

Will you wish to stay? Or go back to your life as it had been for the last eight years?

DEMO

Some more things may be added as the story continuously progresses.

[past-imperfect-if]

The Great Nation of Alyera had known only prosperity since the young monarch of the royal family took the throne. Great things were promised, and delivered, and nothing seemed to be able to stop the growing bonds within the nation.

Until the monarch’s consort perished…

Until you died… Due to an assassination attempt on the monarch’s life.

Wrought with grief and anger, the Monarch of Alyera promised revenge on all those that took their love from them; no matter the lives that may be taken in order to conquer such a feat.

A land of prosperity and harmony soon falling into war and bloodshed. Something that no one could stop due to the power of the royal family.

It’s for that very reason that the rebel group enacted a ritual that would transport someone to the past; before the kind monarch turned dark.

It’s for that very reason you were resurrected— from your place in limbo— to go back in time and stop the love of your life from turning into something they never should have been.

Will you be able to succeed? Even if it means letting them fall in love with someone else?

Demo Features

This story is 18+. Please be aware of this before continuing forward!

Customizable MC: name, appearance, gender, sexuality, parts of your background, hobbies, and a smattering of other things!

Go back in time to a time before the love of your life became the love of your life. Before they were wrought with so much grief they turned into something you could never imagine.

Will you be able to stop yourself from falling in love with them again? Especially if it means saving them from themself?

Romance a single RO that will hopefully offer enough enjoyment that you don’t mind that there isn’t more! (Customizable appearance— barring their height and few other things.)

Remember your mission… Especially when you’re back in the future and have to deal with the reality of what happened to your love after your death.

DEMO

King/Queen/Liege Shaerian of House Elanil

Shaerian, or simply Shae, has been the prospective heir of Alyera since they were born— bypassing their older brother completely. With a gentle heart, that’s filled with compassion, and a warriors spirit, it’s no wonder that Shaerian would later become the ruling monarch of the great elven kingdom.

It’s only when they chose you, a simple human, as their consort that any sort of disfavor for their rule became known, but Shae wouldn’t hear any of it. They didn’t care as long as they had you by their side…

If only you had been able to stay there.

Set Appearance: Shaerian is 6’4” with a lithe/athletic build that all elves seem to possess. Their elegance being negated by the great strength and dexterity of their species. (Hair, eye, and skin color are all customizable. Along with other things too.)

M!Shae has his hair to just above his ears. F!Shae has hers to just beneath her shoulder blades. NB!Shae has theirs to their jawline.

The Dance of the Fallen Deities is a character-driven 18+ work of fiction written using CScript.

Content warnings include: explicit language, depictions of violence and blood, (optional) explicit sexual content, threat of war, potential unhealthy relationships, threats of violence, attempted abduction, mentions of past abuse, instances of classism (including towards mc) and xenophobia (not towards mc). Will be added to as needed.

Everyone has heard the whispers.

Of how the Fallen have come together with the council of Yanha to plot and scheme against the realm of Celea. How their armies are howling the songs of war as their leaders command that divine ichor be spilt.

Everyone except you it seems.

As a minor deity working tirelessly for your Goddess, you don’t have time to listen to baseless gossip.

However, when you come face to face with the four self-proclaimed leaders of the Fallen, you’ll wish you had. Especially when, in their own unique ways, they all seem to have a strange special interest in you.

You have no idea what’s going on, but what you do know is that you really don’t have time for this.

Aeryn [F]

-> profile

Your goddess diligently follows and upholds Celea’s beliefs, she’s beautiful, hard-working, generous, and goes about her duties in a serene manner. She is seen as the definition of Celeatan perfection and everyone either wants to be her or be bonded to her, with rumours circulating that even the Supreme himself wishes to ask for her hand. Unfortunately for all of them, Aeryn couldn’t be less interested in all of that. Her greatest interest seems to lie with you, her most trusted deity and closest confidant. When she learns of her brother’s intent to take you from her, it’s enough to have her nearly declaring war on Yanha herself.

I know that your life is your own and I have no right to ask this of you, but please…don’t leave me.

Kyan [M]

With an affable charm, genial smile, and warm eyes, it’s little wonder that all have been fooled into believing Kyan to still be a kind man, despite his falling. All except you that is. Even when he was a respected member of the Council, you could always see right through his perfected façade to the twisted darkness of his true nature beneath, and yet still stood up to him and sometimes for him, worked with him, and even showed him understanding. You saw him, ugliness and all, and didn’t shun him. Perhaps that’s why he’s so intent on tearing you from his sister’s side and claiming you as his.

Celea. The title of Supreme. You. I’ll take it all.

Niran [Agender]

-> profile

Known by most as a ruthless warrior, Niran has spent a lifetime cultivating a reputation as someone that will cut you down with little to no provocation if you so much as look at them or Kyan wrong. However, you’ve never seen them like that. Before they fell, Niran’s quiet, and usually unnoticed, kindness and protectiveness towards others was something you witnessed on many occasions, and even experienced firsthand once or twice. You were one of the very few to look at them without fear, and that’s something that they’ve never forgotten. It’s something that makes them want to protect you, even from themself.

I can’t protect you if I don’t know where you are, so don’t ever stray from my side.

Elex [Gender Selectable]

-> profile

It was easy for the residents of Celea to underestimate Elex, to only see nem as lazy, overly flirtatious, and too easily distracted and remain blind to how nir eyes missed nothing. Ne is, in fact, a highly intelligent individual who can talk nir way in and out of any situation and is now regarded as the highest priority target due to nir strategies alone. Yet, you knew the kind of danger ne presented long ago, and it left Elex reeling when you went to nem for strategic advice. From that moment, you were, and still are, thoroughly under nir skin.

You, starlight, are the definition of a hot mess. Lucky for me, that’s exactly how I like my deities.

Hayle [Gender Selectable]

-> profile

Out of all who fell, Hayle was the most shocking. Xe was sweet, outgoing, and always ready to lend an ear and a healing hand to those who were in need, so it was widely suspected that xe had been abducted rather than gone willingly. However, Hayle proved that rumour to be spectacularly false by personally sending the members of xyr rescue party back in several pieces. A move that even you didn’t see coming. You had been just as drawn in by xem as everyone else and even considered xem a close friend. It makes you no different to anyone else, so xyr interest in you is a mystery to everyone but xem.

You have such pretty eyes. I want them to always be looking at me.
