Two Fools Dancing from Two and Three Fools of the Carnival, engraving by Hendrick Hondius I after Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1642).
SYNOPSIS:
Once, your name was spoken with respect.
Now, you are forced to wear bells.
Hidden behind painted smiles and hollow laughter, you serve the very family that ordered your bloodline erased. The court sees a fool, harmless, expendable, and amusing. None suspect that every jest is measured, every laugh a blade carefully sheathed.
The royal family rots from within. Secrets cling to silk halls and old sins breathe beneath the throne. You came to finish what the king began, to dismantle the crown piece by piece.
But vengeance is a dangerous thing when hearts are involved.
As loyalties fracture and desire tangles with hatred, you must choose:
Will the kingdom burn… or will you fall for those you were meant to destroy?
FEATURES:
A medieval omegaverse steeped in drama, violence, and deceit.
Play as the kingdom’s court jester, walking the thin line between mockery and survival.
Choose your identity: play as male or non-binary(amab) as a recessive alpha or recessive omega. Or avoid the turmoil of secondary sexes entirely by choosing to be a beta. (Female player characters are exclusively only able to be masculine alpha's)(Look below at Q&A section for more info on that)
Customize your character’s appearance, age (22-30), height, personality, and pheromone scent.
Forge fragile alliances, bitter rivalries, or dangerous entanglements at court.

ROMANTIC OPTIONS: (Can be romanced by all mc's)
Prince Cassian Viremont (Crown Prince)(First-born)
He is 26 years old, tall with a lean and elegant build held in an unmistakably aristocratic posture. His light brown skin contrasts with deep onyx black hair worn long and tied low, framing a refined bone structure marked by a thin scar at the corner of his mouth. His pale silver gray eyes are sharp yet perpetually tired. His overall presence is one of control and intensity, a restrained power simmering beneath careful composure.
Dynamic: Dominant Omega
Pheromone scent: Eucalyptus, pine/fir, and mint with an undertone of sweet vanilla that becomes deeply intoxicating the closer one gets.
Princess Valenne Viremont (Second-born)
She is 25 years old, tall and statuesque, with an athletic, powerful build that marks her unmistakably as an Alpha. Her warm brown skin contrasts beautifully with rich auburn hair, usually braided or worn loose in waves, framing a strong jaw and faint freckles scattered across her nose. Golden brown eyes, piercing and perceptive, reflect her confident, commanding presence. She carries herself with an unapologetic certainty that leaves little doubt of who she is.
Dynamic: Dominant Alpha
Pheromone scent: Cedarwood, incense, and amber with an undertone of cinnamon that is grounding and difficult to resist.
Other Characters:
Name: King Aurelian Viremont
A 52 year old dominant alpha ruler known for his iron authority and immaculate public image, exuding a pheromone scent of spiced wine, bergamot, and ash. He's the one who orchestrated the death of your family and made you a laughing stock.
Name: Queen Seraphine Viremont
A 46 year old omega who is refined, distant, and quietly observant, exudes a pheromone scent of roses, green tea, and neroli. She looks at you with a gaze of obsession and disgust that she hides from everyone else.
Names: Prince Lucien Viremont & Prince Corin Viremont
The 19 year old youngest royals who are inseparable and unpredictable. They are both alphas, with Lucien exuding a pheromone scent of campfire, nutmeg, and clove and Corin radiating cardamom, ginger, and tonka bean. They especially love to torment tease you.

DEMO (tba)
NSFW and scenario asks are allowed and welcomed. Just don't be weird about it.
In this IF are there gonna be elements of "fated mates", like in some A/B/O media?
No, I don't think so. At least not in the way that it's usually portrayed. I would say that it'd be more of a "pheromone compatibility/preference" type of thing. For example, it'd be similar to how people like the smell of some things and dislike the smell of others.
Whether the pheromone compatibility/preference will be called "fated mates" in this IF is something I'm still debating. But I would say no for now.
Are they automatically "amab" (to use IRL terms) since female MCs are automatically alphas & male MCs omegas?
At first I was gonna have nonbinary mc's have the choice of being either amab or afab. However, due to many asks I've been getting I have the sneaking suspicion that some people are going to use afab nonbinary mc to fulfill their omega girl dreams which defeats the whole purpose. So! I've decided that nonbinary mc will be amab. This will also make it easier for me to write because I already have so many variations to do. Also, I never said male mc's are automatically omegas. Male mc's and nonbinary (amab) mc's have the choice to be either a recessive alpha or recessive omega or a beta. While female mc's are automatically recessive alphas. Although if I keep getting complaints about female mc I might just scrap that idea altogether and only keep the male mc and nonbinary mc (I'm petty I know).
I fully support your right to make whatever mcs you want for your interactive fiction. I think it's great that a female MC can only be an alpha for reasons of commentary and themes. However, as a queer female who is very feminine in appearance, I think it's a little discouraging that there's an implication that it's less queer for a female to have a certain build or appearance, especially when there are no such limits placed on other mcs. I suppose I just don't really understand why it would be okay for other mcs to be able to present however, while female mcs can't. I also understand that I might have taken it a bit too personally since it took me a long time to feel that I was valid in my identity (and that I was queer enough) regardless of my appearance which I loathed for a long time. From my point of view, it's strange to say that appearance and particularly the aspects of it that you can't change like build or height are so important when it comes to conveying identity. Of course, that isn't to say that you should necessarily change it and I have no right to tell you to do so as it is your own project, but I thought I would express my confusion on the subject so I could have more insight on your decision.
There are two reasons why I had female alpha mc's masculine in appearance.
1. The biggest reason is the biological aspect (go check out the biology segment of the guide). It makes no sense for an alpha to be feminine in appearance. Also it's not like the female mc won't have "feminine" aspects such as what they wear, how they act, relationship dynamics (Valenne will always be the more dominant one in the relationship and in bed). Plus female mc's aren't the only one with appearance restrictions. It's the negative part of being an alpha or omega. Luckily a beta mc doesn't have to worry about that.
2. I'll be completely honest here! I wanted to avoid the omega girl uwu feminine y/n trope. A way to do that was that if you wanted to play as a female character then you're only allowed to be an alpha that is biologically masculine. That WILL NOT change no matter how much people complain about it.
I knew full well that people would get angry about this and I honestly don't care. If you get personally offended by this IF then you have the free will to look elsewhere. There are HUNDREDS of IF's where you can play as a feminine female and there are also SO MANY IF's that are gender-locked female mc.
