CW: violence, explicit language and themes, dark themes, immoral behavior and situations
After a villain almost decimated the world as you know it, you and four other people were chosen by the hands of fate to gain powerful abilities and become a member of Legion, humanity's only hope.
Because of that, you became celebrities in your own right. Red carpets, photoshoots, commercials for energy drinks and more. After a while it felt like the villain would never return and you'd be stuck being a celebrity for powers you don't even use.
Until the villain does return.
And you win.
Unfortunately, you paid the ultimate price: you died and became a martyr.
Or so...everyone thought.
Six years later, you wake up in the same spot you were in with no memory of the last near decade of your life. While only a night has gone by for you, for everyone else? A lifetime.
Everyone has moved on with their lives. The friends you considered family barely speak to each other, all of them haunted by everything that came after the fight. You have no recollection of anything…except something inside you knows your reappearance was no ordinary coincidence.
Especially when you begin to hear a voice in your head, commanding you, telling you to destroy everything in your path….
Stolen Resurrection is 18+ gritty IF that's a mixture of fame and super heroism. You are a member of the elite Legion, believed to be dead for half a decade until you wake up to a changed world six years later.
Customize your MC from personality, appearance, gender identity and their persona. Do they embrace the celebrity life or reject it? Do they love their position as someone forced to sacrifice their life for the good of the world or do they resent it?
Curate whether your MC will move on or stay stuck in the past. Choose how to approach every situation and every person from your past and present life.
Navigate a world in which you are famed for being a chosen one and choose how you approach that.
Wake up six years after people believing you dead. Deal with the aftermath of grief and loss you left in your wake.
Romance ROs with different personalities and different feelings/thoughts towards your 'resurrection' and everything else.
Character-driven narrative with an emphasis on the choices you make and the relationships you build.
Prepare and train for a villain who may or may not be using you as their puppet.
Die. And then come back to life.
THE EX FIANCÉ // THE SELLOUT: CATH HARRISON [M/F][RO]
Your ex and old Legion member, Cath has become the most prominent and beloved figure in New America. Once kind, charismatic, and a charmer, Cath is now the stoic poster child for the company that made Legion. So much so, that your old friends call them a sellout.
Cal was proposing to you when everything went to hell all those years ago. When you return, you find them remarried. Cath has moved on...or have they?
THE OLD FRIEND // THE STRANGER: REA SANTOS [F][RO]
Once your closest friend and fellow Legion member, Rea has grown cold over the years, haunted by that fateful night. Even though she still has love for the team, she does her best to rebel as much as possible as revenge for the attack that took a life she can never get back.
While she understands your disappearance and subsequent reappearance is not your fault, she can't help but blame you for not being around. Rea is a stranger to you now and whatever friendship you two had is successfully dead.
THE FORMER FAN // THE PRO: JAMES SATO [M][RO]
James, bright and wide-eyed, was once your biggest fan, gloating that he was going to apply to NAG Labs because of you. He also had a childish admiration for you that you found endearing at best and a nuisance at worse. Now, years later, James is somehow as old as you, has long moved on past his fan phase, and is the new head of the division that created you.
Oddly enough, it feels weird without James Sato not following you around like a lost puppy. Have the roles reversed?
THE EX FLAME // THE HERMIT: NICO/NAOMI CARTER [M/F][RO]
Once the sunshine and comedic relief of the team, N has disappeared, becoming a shell of their former self. They do nothing else but stay in the bar, drinking their sorrows away. They are considered hostile and want nothing to do with the team or the Company since your death.
N may have had feelings for you in the past, but you're not too sure. It's not as if you could ever pursue that years ago. Now? Well, it seems like it's all too late.
OTHER CHARACTERS
??? -- your hear them in your head. Is this the person who has trapped you all this time?
Ray Trent (m) -- your old teammate and close friend. No one speaks of Ray, and you wonder where's he gone and what he's been through that makes him such a sore topic for everyone.
Logan Kane (m) -- the new head of NAG and currently running for president of New America. The son of the now dead head that you were once close to. Logan doesn't trust you. Your reappearance has set him on edge.
Hello, if you'd like to know what happened and why this blog was deleted before. You can check here! Reblogs and everything else is appreciated! Thank you :)
Sucks the only non asshole RO is man only now. Yeah they have trauma, but the way they treat the MC who has doesn't deserve it is borderline emotional abuse. J was the only RO who was MC didn't have to deal with that and who I could realistically see MC pursuing for a relationship, now they're just Jason.
I'm confused on why you would assume any of the ROs are assholes to MC? Having complicated feelings about MC doesn't equate them to being an asshole nor does it equate to emotional abuse. None of the ROs aside from Nico/Naomi are written to be asshole ROs to MC. They just understandably feel very complicated about their return.
MC has missed a lot and I don't think it's fair to equate people with heavy trauma struggling to welcome MC with open arms as emotionally abusive assholes.
Not me checking in daily to see if you posted the demo already 😂 I’m just so excited to go down Cath’s route! And I’ve been obsessed with hero/villain stories!
:]]] It's coming!! It's fully written! I've just been finding time outside of work to edit now heh
I'm sorry about the troll and I hope you're doing better now, mentally and emotionally.
I can't remember if this was asked before, but I'll just ask it again if you don't mind? I was just wondering if there's someone (the ROs or non-ROs) that *genuinely* misses the MC? I understand the bitterness, confusion, and maybe suspecion that some of them may have. But if a friend or loved one was killed so tragically and was brought alive again in the oddest of ways, shouldn't one or some or even *all* of them feel protective of the MC? Because I would... or maybe that's just me lmao
I mean, they're back and alive again. Shouldn't they feel at least relief? Or maybe feel relief *after* getting confused and/or angry? 🥺
I hope I'm not coming across as rude, I'm simply curious and already heartbroken for my future MC.
Thank you and glad to be back! Luckily I am. I took some time away to really sit with the story and decide I still wanted to tell it 💗
I think they miss MC in their own ways. It would feel like they should be relieved and happy to see their best friend back but MC missed everything that happened after that night. People died, many people they were close to and in their circle. In their eyes, MC died and a lot changed.
It took a long time to move on. They had state mandated therapy and they had PTSD and had to grieve and it was tough to process. It fundamentally changed them and it took a long time to move on. MC returning is like a slap in the face because now they have to grieve the person that MC used to be and come to terms with this new MC that doesn't know them. They're all new people. MC may be the same person but they're not. It's like getting forced back into a past they finally moved on from.
So they do miss MC every day, but they've accepted that MC wasn't supposed to leave the grave lol they'll feel relief eventually they just need to come to terms with it.
I think the one who'd be most protective would be James. He has some distance to think rationally and is happy to see MC again especially since MC inspired him to pursue the career he has now.
Did any of the legion members know about N’s alleged feelings for MC?
It leaned more toward an open secret. Since they're celebrities as well there were a lot of tabloids and gossip rags that hinted at it. Cath did a lot of appearances on their own due to their elevated status within the group so Rea and Ray were put together often and N and MC were paired up to do gigs/appearances/keynotes and so of course people would create a story.
Cath brushed it off ofc since it didn't bother them and they didn't think twice about it. Everyone else secretly wondered if the rumors had any merit.
N would play it off as a joke but N joked that they'd want to sleep with everyone in Legion because they're a playboy/girl like that so no one really took it seriously. Guess that helped them lol
It was! But I did get some people saying that MC being mentally and physically 20 while the ROs are 30 made them feel uncomfortable and I can see why. MC was just 19 years old a few months ago while the ROs are fully thirty so I get why it was weird sksksks
I think this idea still fits since MC does still feel 25 mentally, but the gap isn't as big!
Cath's Present personality changed the most. I just wanted a stoic Cath after the six year jump lol
MC ages this time around but they still don't remember anything so it still feels like only a night went by. To them, they didn't age at all but they can see it in the physical changes that they did age.
J is now just James. There's two set genders and two gender selectable now.
It's a bit grittier and darker.
All the other changes are changes no one saw so :)
Abilities: Cath Harrison is considered a jack-of-all-trades. With the power of super strength, super speed, enhanced hearing and sight, and finally, flight--a power no one else possesses--Cath is the hero of heroes. Due to this, Cath is under strict surveillance at all times.
Skills: public speaking, persuasion, charm, likable.
Appearance: 5'10. curly blonde hair and pale skin. f!Cath's hair falls down her back while m!Cath's hair is cut short and wavy on his head. Cath is muscular and lean and has bright blue eyes and a youthful looking face.
Therapist Notes: Cath claims to be fine but I can sense they are irritable. They have stopped visiting [MC]'s memorial site. They drive an extra hour to work simply to avoid [MC]'s statue. I believe these are not proper coping methods to move on. In fact, I think this is counterintuitive to their growth. They refuse to listen.
I believe it would be beneficial for Cath to take a substantial break. I understand they are essential to the company but Cath's insistence on working is unhealthy. Cath's mental state is currently stable but it is precarious. They are receptive to the state mandated therapy, which is a good sign, but they still refuse to open up completely. I fear we may causing more harm than good. Backing the most powerful person in the world into a corner feels like playing with fire.
Quick question last time I remember the former fan was gender selectable was it changed or it was always this way?
The former fan was gender selectable! I always saw J as James Sato when I first did SR but made him gender-selectable to balance it. Him being male is relevant to his route which is why I stayed true to my 'vision' this time around.
The four core ROs aren't the only ROs I see in mind. There's another female character that I see being a romance option down the line--like Logan--if everything works out.
For now, there's two gender-selectable ROs (Cath and N) and two set gender ROs (Rea and James)! But that doesn't mean it'll stay that way!
You were missed dearly and I’m so glad to see you back! Quick question though, might I ask why Logan isn’t an RO anymore or am I just misremembering him as one previously?
THANK YOU! That's very nice of you!
You're not misremembering. Some big changes in the story made it that Logan being an RO right now won't work. It's not *completely* off the table but I just didn't want to give anyone false hope by labeling him as an RO right out the gate!
Holy shittttt I'm so glad you're back!!! And also I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that troll. Sending you a big virtual hug 🫂💙
Welcome back!!!
I am!!! & thank you very much! It was tough but I'm glad I didn't fully give up on SR. Honestly I thought of the story every day. I am giving you a virtual hug back. 💗
yes it's stolen res! back and better than ever Lol. Essentially I was getting harassed and accused of my story not being original. I scoured the forums to see if there was a story that was similar to mine but found none. In hindsight it was a troll but I felt discouraged and just didn't want to do it anymore. Thought it was a sign.
But the story never left my head and I realized I shouldn't let a troll stop me. I didn't want to make this until I knew for sure I had the demo written so here I am!
