Crown of Thorns and Roses

Welp. Time got away from me. This summer was pretty busy, between helping at a kids camp, my birthday, and my brother going away to college, but I'm finally gathering my fledgling courage and posting the info about the game.

The Plot:

You play as the Heir to the Kingdom of Artherius, a small, landlocked country hedged by mountains, save a small sea gifted by ancient laws traqnscending the kingdoms that sprawl across the vast continent. Peace ruled your country, up until 6 years ago, when the entrances throught he mountains to your country were blocked off by landslides, cutting off all those who called Artherius home, rom the rest of the world.

Your father called for militaristic action, saying the borders of the land were closed, and all those who tried to enter would be slain. It was a bloody time, where those with family still in Artherius, or were merely visiting, tried to escape, all to meet the their deaths at the hand of a deadly light that would kill those near it, leaving no trace of a body.

Artherius descends into a land of the lawless and fear for the common people. Years pass, and as your 21st birthday rolls around, you realize your father, King only in name, has no intention of handing the throne over to you. It is up to you to discover why your father has descended into such madness, repair your fractured land, and prepare for the darkness that is lurking beyond your borders.

Or, perhaps you intend to join the darkness, and watch your entire world burn around you. It's your choice, really.

TW: Mentions of slavery, crimes, abuse, violence, abandonment issues, war, blood, etc.

The Romances/Companions:

There are 7 romanceable characters (3 male, 2 female, 2 nonbinary), with up to 3 possible poly romances in the works.

Seeren: The Court Mage.

     A rather shy elven woman, she has been a close friend and confidant to the MC ever since she was brought the castle to train in magic at the tender age of 10. She quickly grew in skill, overtaking her master's job as court mage when the older man passed. She is accomplished in many types of magic, and dabbles in alchemy. It is her magic and potions that keep the MC healthy and sane.

Eshad: The Djinn in the Bottle.

     The MC goes exploring in the cavernous basements of the castle they call home, and discover a rather unusual lamp sitting in a hidden corner of one fo the locked rooms. It is in that moment they meet Eshad, a rather disgruntled Djinn who has been imprisoned there for 2000 years. The MC has only one wish, and would rather not be killed by a poorly worded wish. So Eshad must stay at their side until they make their wish.

Astha: The Captain of the Guard.

    Astha is no shy noble woman. A dragonborn, she is descended from the very beasts that once ruled this world, and she bows to no one, no matter who they might be. She is powerful, and she knows it. She has trained for the position of the Captain since before she could walk, all in preparation to take the mantle from the her Aunt. As she will be tasked with keeping watch of the current Heir, she keeps a professional distance, merely observing them. But she knows more than she will ever let on.

Aenon: The Captive Royal.

    Aenon was visting from ont of the neighboring countries, acting as ambassador to settle a long standing cold war between the two people, the humans and the mer folk. They were within the castle walls when the borders were closed. They, alongside their entourage, were quickly brought before the king, who informed them they were to act as hostages. Aenon was locked within their quarters where they have remained to this day, waiting for everything to end.

Kida: The Rebel Servant.

    A rather bright Naga, he joined the fledgling resistance that former not long after the borders were closed, and the formerly beloved king turned tyrannical. He was tasked to infiltrate the castle to gather information, and to keep a rather close eye on the Heir. The MC will sometimes see him lurking in the corner, simply watching them. If it comes down to it, Kida has orders to slay the Heir to help end the tyrannical royal family's reign.

Kiyoshi: The Spy.

    A young kitsune who is a close friend to the MC, is a person of quick wit and even quicker on their feet, acts as a page in the castle, but simply does many jobs. They are fast to deny they are anything more than a simple servant, but with a twinkle in their eye that says there is more to that story than they are saying. The MC may count Kiyoshi as a confidant but the kitsune's allegiance isn't to the king, but to another.

Vanerith: The Bodyguard.

     Vanerith was rescued from a roaming slave auction by the Heir, and in the ensuing chaos was bonded to them in a horrible accident. Vanterith, unable to leave the MC's side, has taken on the role of bodyguard, as this is what he feels he does best: protect and shield. He is rather quiet for his kind, tending to wander close to the MC and never wandering, wholly focused on playing his role. As if he is too used to it...

What's the weirdest kink each other ROs have?

.....

I don't know if I like you, anon. You made me blush and giggle like a fucking virgin trying to think of their weirdest kinks.

Seeren: Def has this fantasy where she'd kidnapped and held against her will, forced to be pleasured out of her mind. This is of course talked out beforehand.

Astha: Is really into the hunter/prey thing. Like go into the woods and run because otherwise she will absolutely go feral on your ass otherwise. Also kind of wishes someone would pin her down in a fight, like one of those homerotic fights she has always read about.

Vanerith: tentacles. That's all I'm saying.

Kida: Inflation kink. Kind of goes hand in hand with his pregnancy kink.

Eshad: Oh this dude is fully into Master/slave shit. Sidling up beside you and purring 'Master' into your ear, laughing and goading you on as you tie and pin him to whatever surface your fucking on. Did I also mention he's a brat?

Kiyoshi: knife play. They are constantly in control of all of their facilities, and pain tends to disrupt that The constant threat of being hurt, at the hands of someone they love and trust, it's almost too much. Pair it with bondage and you have a mess on your hands.

Aenon: Sadism. They like making you fear them in just that moment, wondering what the hell they will do to you, knowing you have no control over yourself. And a bit of electric play. Leaning down, letting their 'hair' brush your skin, watching you shudder as their hair lights up with electricity.

[cotar-game]

Can we have physical descriptions of the ROs?

Yes! Of course!

Seeren is rather on the delicate side, with dark red hair framing a pale, freckled face. With eyes as blue as the sky above, she has a rather intense stare, perhaps from either her even blood or from years indulging in magical experiments that may or may not have gone awry. She tends to dress in baggy robes and cloaks, keeping herself hidden.

Astha is the peek warrior. She stands tall even over her guards, with golden horns, golden claws for hands and feet, making the point of gloves and shoes a rather obselete point for her. Her blood red eyes, one dulled by a blindness struck by a near fatal injury years before, stare from a scared and stern face, with sharp cheekbones framed by golden scales and sheer black hair, which is usually pulled back into a bun.

Eshad is a rather interesting being, identifying as male but changing shapes at will, which is easily done due to his status as a djinn. He tends to favor a form that has dark, hooded eyes overshadowing a slightly crooked nose and thin lips, which are usually pulled back into a flirtatious smirk. His hair tends to stay the color of the deep sea at high noon, green and blue playing across silky lengths. He sometimes appears before you with a wildly different beard/mustache than he displayed before, going anywhere from tame to curly villainous types, to try and rile a response from you.

Kiyoshi is rather lithe, their strength lying in their mastery of trickery and illusion magic, but they are a quick runner, their fox tail lending them the balance needed to essentially parkour wherever they wish. They have tanned skin from spending so much time outside and dark eyes, something always seeming to hide in their depths. Their hair is a rough brown color, as are the ears and tail that poke out from time to time.

Vanerith is a figure that draws the eye. With rippling dark hair that tends to turn a rainbow of colors, nearly iradescent in sunlight, and twilight blue skin, and horns that taper off into a lighter blue, he is almost an enigma amongst demon kind, where shades of red or human tones tend to be prevalent. This may be the reason why he was forced from his home realm. His violet eyes stare sadly into the distance more often than not, possibly mourning the loss of his place, and his home. He hides his scars, but they cover too much.

Aenon is as dark as the depths of the seas they call home. Where hair sits on a humans head, they have jellyfish-like spines the color of the lightest beaches that light up when they are feeling intense moods. This is also used as a tactic to lure food or enemies within the seas where they hunt. Their pale eyes can be haunting to those unfamiliar to the Mer. They have webbed fingers and toes, and fins that line several areas on their body to allow them to swim with great force. They are able to survive out of water for quite awhile, but must return at some point.

Kida has a strong build from years working on his family farm, muscles rippling across his back and arms. His skin is marred by several scars, light standing out against his darker skin. A rather handsome Naga, with a square jaw and startlingly golden eyes, he flaunted this alongside the deep purple of his tail back home. His light brown hair tends to hang at shoulder length, but is usually pulled back away from his face.

How the ros react to finding the mcd sketchbook with drawing of them? I love this demo so far and slowly falling for the ROs. Thank you for this wonderful story!

Seeren holds the sketchbook close, a soft expression on her face. She will hide it in her robes if she encounters it, her fingers continually brushing against it, nearly giving herself away. She will look through it that night, in the privacy of her own room, fingers tracing the delicate lines with wonderment.

Astha will scoff at first and walk away. Then walk back. Then walk away again. Then walk back. And maybe look at one of the pages. She will leave it there, like she found it, but maybe with a smile on her face.

Eshad will crow with glee. He will rub it in your face that you left something like this out in the open for him to find. he will purposefully flip through it and make fun of the drawings. But he will go quiet when he sees his own face. So open, so vulnerable. You make him look beautiful. He will shove it in your face and disappear. But he will return, maybe just a little kinder, maybe just a little softer.

Vanerith will flip through the book, hardly believing what he is seeing. Instead of continuing, he will put it down, where he found it, and never look at it again. But if you open it up, on the back of one of your drawings, you will find your own likeness scratched there with care.

Kiyoshi will steal a page, one unfinished, seemingly left to rot in the book in favor of other, more beautiful, finished products. And they will keep it close to their heart, tucked in their pocket. They will never tell you they saw it. But they will know.

Aenon will see it, and preen, hair alight with pride and surprise, happiness and love. They will be so giddy they dance around the rest of the day, and if they encounter you, they will barely be able to hide it, giggling too much to speak.

Kida will take one look at it and never look at it again. He can’t jeopardize his mission with such feelings. But it will never leave his mind, his thoughts always drawn back to those carefully drawn lines.

What would a perfect date look like to each of the ROs?

Seeren: Sitting out under the night stars, several books and a telescope sitting nearby as the both of you lounge on a blanket, a soft magelight floating nearby to provide enough light to see, but not obscure the stars. You hold hands and simply enjoy the silence together.

Astha: you spend an afternoon sparing, first roughly, then softly, merely taking jabs at each other. Afterward, you retire to her chambers, where she secretly had a bath prepared in her rather large tub (more of a swimming pool, really) complete with bubbles, candles, and soft music. You spend the rest of the night relaxing, playing in the water, and retiring to bed together to cuddle.

Eshad: You are greeted with a large feast he prepared in your honor, complete with several courses and dancing after. Eshad spends most of his time ate your side, entertaining you with small magic tricks and music that changes to your whims. After everything has died down, he will guide you out into the hallway and speak soft words into your ears as you walk back to your rooms. There, you will part, until tomorrow.

Kiyoshi: They will take you away in the middle of something important, a meeting, a lesson, something. It will be spontaneous and you will never know when it is coming. They will lead you by hand out of the castle and into the city, through the back alleys to the secret places where no one but the rascals and the lowest of the low call home. You will spend hours in a secret black market, eating forbidden fruit and buying secret trinkets with untold power. You will sneak into temples and hear the most secret prayers of the priests. After everything is done, they will lead you back, take you to the top of your castle, to view the setting sun. And just as the suns disappear behind the horizon, you will turn, to fins nothing but an orchid where Kiyoshi once was.

Aenon: Once they are free of their rooms, they will lead you to the seas outside the Capital, where the blue waters beat against white sands. They will kiss you, gently, and a flow of magic will overtake you. You will find suddenly air is not longer enough, and Aenon will lead you into the ocean, where water flows over your newfound gills. They will lead you into the depths. There you will count the number of different colored corals, dance with the dolphins, ride the riptides that are so dangerous to humans, but are the playthings of the Mer. You will ride on the wakes of sharks as they hunt, stare in awe as a giant whale bows its head in deference. At the end of the night, when you feel the need for air once again, Aenon will take you back. There, you will stare into each other’s eyes, you standing on land, the tide tickling your feet, and Aenon, in the sea, the sand pulling at their feet.

Kida: He will lead you out to the farms where his family call home. He will take you to all of his childhood places, where he and his siblings slithered among the trees, climbing rocks and cliffs with sheer arm strength. He will lead you into a tunnel he found long ago, dug by ancient dwarves that open into a crystal cavern, insignificant and worth hardly anything, but a beautiful natural sight nonetheless. There you will spend hours watching them twinkle like stars, gently caressing each other in the knowledge you are completely and utterly alone. You will retire to the farmhouse for dinner, where his parents and siblings tease the both of you endlessly.

Vanerith: He doesn’t set anything up. He comes to you on a night when you are bored, when you have been enraptured within your royal duties, kept captive within council meetings for hours. At a ball where everyone where’s a mask to hide who they are, he will come to you in the guise of a mere human. You will know it is him. he will take you by the hand gently, with permission, and lead you across the floor. It will seem like it is just the two of you. Time will freeze, and you will dance to your heart’s content. Just as you get tired, he will whisk you to your rooms, and tenderly undress you, and with a final kiss, tuck you in, sitting beside you holding your hand until you fall asleep.

How long has the MC known each of the RO's?

Seeren: Since they were a child.

Astha: Has never really ‘formally met Astha, but has seen her around the castle.

Eshad: has yet to meet them. MC will be the one to free him from his 2000 year long imprisonment.

Vanerith: Hasn’t met him yet.

Aenon: Has seen glances of them around the castle, but they are too scared to go meet them.

Kiyoshi: Since they can remember.

Kida: They haven't met Kida just yet. But Kida knows who they are.

Hi! ❤️ What if mc and ro are in crush stage (not yet in relationship) and someone comes to flirt to mc. What would ros do / how would they react? And if you have time / inspiration: How would ros react in same situation if they are relationship with mc? Have a nice day! ❤️❤️🙂

Thank you for the lovely prompts, Nony! I apologize, I decided to do just the crushes this time round.

Seeren will stand by, watching the MC for several long minutes. Then she will march over and claim she needs them for an important project, and if questioned further, will launch into a rather in depth explanation of magic and alchemical properties that will send the other person into a mental tizzy, then gently lead the MC away.

Astha will glare at the person until they get so uncomfortable that they simply leave MC be. MC will be slightly bewildered, but shrug it off as the other person simply being weird.

Eshad will be extremely verbal and physical about their crush. When they see the object of their affection being flirted with, He bursts onto the scene and essentially smothers MC in love, clearly claiming MC as his own.

Kiyoshi simply stand aside. If the MC is willing to choose this over them, even with their poor attempts at flirting, then so be it. The person flirting may find something precious of theirs stolen/broken later.

Vanerith will try and remain quiet, but will sidle up to MC as slowly and as silently as he can, and slip his hand into theirs.

Aenon will cause a distraction somewhere else in the room, and when the person isn't paying attention, whisk MC away where they can be alone together.

Kida pushes that person out of the way, not even allowing them to get a word in edge wise.
