LINK TO THE GAME. Prologue. (Around 7k words). LAST UPDATE: July 7, 2026.
Ko-Fi
After eight years in the shadows, ICARIS returns for one last flight. A farewell album. A worldwide tour. A legacy finally given its proper send-off.
Their story is told in an eight-part docuseries, Sunbound: ICARIS’ Final Flight—mixing present-day footage with archival clips, livestreams, concert films, and video logs. Raw, intimate, and at times uncomfortable, it’s a look into the group that once soared together, burned to ashes together, and now rises together one last time.
Customize your Sparky. Design the group’s “face”: choose appearance, gender, sexuality, and even performance style. Will you be a playful and adorable puppy-like person or a mysterious and surly cat-like person? Were you close with your fans or were you standoffish? Were you clean or did you basically live in the tabloids?
Shape your journey. Experience the rise of ICARIS, the events that shaped their history — some moments are inevitable; there is no saving what’s already lost. In the present timeline, however, you can navigate regrets and grief, reconnect with old friends, and influence how the reunion unfolds.
Romance across timelines. Pursue any of the five romantic options. Rekindle old flames or explore new connections.
Content warnings: realities of the industry, abusive workplaces and schedules, substance abuse, mentions/allusions to suicidal thoughts, mental illnesses, disordered eating. Possibly more.
Sparky
You were the spark that lit ICARIS, the group’s most recognizable face — loved, hated, and dissected in equal measures. Years after ICARIS, you’re back on stage with your former members and surrounded by people from a past that seems so far now. Will this reunion bring closure, or will it reopen wounds that never fully healed?
Shin Jiwon — romantic option. Always the same gender as idol-era Sparky.
The leader. Cold, repressed, distant — Jiwon wielded their responsibility like a sword and their scripture like a shield. Words they’d never dared speak are scattered across ICARIS’ discography. Until now, they are determined to keep the ICARIS legacy alive. Burdened by regret and emotions they refuse to face, Jiwon keeps their heart locked behind walls of practiced silence and professionalism. You may have once breached past those walls, but breaking through them again will be far more challenging.
Character Introduction.
Saint Gatti — romantic option. Always the same gender as idol-era Sparky.
Talented on all fronts — a magnetic performer, an exceptional producer, and a delightful conversationalist. Sharp-witted, opinionated, and quick with a joke, Saint was one of the quiet pillars of ICARIS: the oldest member, the producer, the person everyone instinctively sought out during long, exhausting nights. They once knew you like the back of their hand, now even simple conversations are difficult. Can something that was once familiar be rebuilt?
Character Introduction.
Charismatic, cunning, and impossible to ignore — Kila is the face of your rival group, ECLYPS. Their name has always been placed beside yours: to compare, to criticize, to fuel rumors. Born into a long line of acclaimed creatives in the Philippines, they pursued fame relentlessly and eventually surpassed ICARIS in popularity after the group’s disbandment, even their solo career thriving. Now, they’ve drifted back into your orbit as once of the documentary’s interviewees. You no longer understand their motives — maybe never did. But beneath the sharp smile and playful cruelty, does the tenderness you once glimpsed at still remain?
Character Introduction.
Ethereal, serene, and incredibly unattainable — Valentine starred opposite you as your onscreen partner throughout ICARIS’ second trilogy of music videos. Paparazzi shots, matching items of clothing, and bashful denials have made for one of the most popular love affairs in the entertainment industry — too bad it was all fabricated. Behind their carefully constructed image lies a desperation for something incredibly ordinary. With their career newly revitalized and a beloved, highly public relationship now in the spotlight, would they still be willing to risk everything for what might have been?
Character Introduction.
Quiet, distant, and carefully avoidant — Tatum was your childhood friend, the person you first dreamed big with. You were supposed to stand on stage together, side by side, taking on the world as a pair, believing in a future built on the certainty that absolutely nothing would come between the two of you. Unfortunately, a few months into training, they were cut from the lineup and sent back home. Communication had slowed over time, but every trip back home reignited your relationship. Or so you thought. Today, they want nothing to do with you… except in a twist of fate (and partly their doing), their ten year old niece is now a die-hard fan of ICARIS. They really should have thrown all those albums away.
Character Introduction.
Devan Tiwari
The abrasive troublemaker, always kept on a metaphorical leash. Devan was infamous for speaking their mind without restraint, even when it came at the expense of the group’s reputation. But beneath all the noise and chaos, there is a gentle side of them most refused to acknowledge: fiercely protective of the members, and deeply committed to the safety and happiness of each one. They have stepped away from the spotlight since disbandment, choosing to spend their time managing an establishment for homeless youth.
Character Introduction.
Angel Matisse
The visual of ICARIS — the pretty face, the one plastered all over covers of magazines. Angel was often dismissed for lacking skill, but you’ve seen how fiercely driven they were to improve. Publicly, they appeared icy and unreadable, the very picture of elegance and class but privately, there was warmth, humor, and unbreakable loyalty to the group. Today, they are an award-winning actor, married to their childhood best friend, and raising two children. Time has softened their edges, replacing empty confidence with quiet self-assurance, but their words remain as sharp and direct as they were years ago.
Character Introduction.
Cloud Rattanakorn
Cloud is the kind of person people often described as “comfortable” — never too loud, never too sharp, never too popular. The public liked them for being the steady calm in the middle of ICARIS’ chaos. Accompanying that calm was an unyielding will to keep the group together. Cloud was often the one to step in, to soften the jagged edges of their members before they cut each other. Away from the spotlight, they now spend their days running their family’s restaurant, content to stay in the quiet presence of people they know would never abandon them.
Character Introduction.
Hoshino Mitsuki
The beacon of hope, the source of laughter, the sunbeam after curtain call. Mitsuki was an amalgamation of all of the older members’ personalities — a perfect mixture of each one’s best traits and their most human flaws. Mitsuki had a uniquely unbreakable bond with each of the members, and the fans, acting as a constant presence of warmth and reassurance — someone to lean on just as they had leaned on others. Among both the members and the fans, they has always been one clear agreement: Mitsuki is to be remembered as the warmth they all tried to protect. Nothing less.

Hey y’all, sorry for no posts today, semester 2 just started and I am overwhelmed with work already!!
But I have a RedactedASMR lore question for y’all, does anyone know if the Elementals and Energetics are bound to the Sun or the Moon? Same with D(a)emons, are they bound to Sun or Moon?
I’ve been rewatching the Solstice videos and I realized the only sun/moon bound mentions were of the Werevolves and Vamps being Moonbound, meaning their powers peak around Dec 21st, and Freelancers being “freebound” where their powers fluctuate through the day on both solstices.
Kinda wanna know in case I start a solstice fic,,, but, I’m just curious in general.
The au @queen-of-ice101 wrote for me has given me an excuse to draw something I have wanted to draw for a long time. A LONG time!! RHEN AND DAMEON AS CHILDREN!!! BEIN FRIENDS!!!! Before all the tragedy, when they can be just innocent and happy and explore Aveyond together AND MAKE FLOWER CROWNS!!!!
They do all those things anyway but I really like drawing babies. And c'mon, they make such cute babies!! Look at their little faces!!! I want to squish their cheeks. Asagldfajr!!!!
