All RO Profiles
Angelina Lecrone (she/her)
You've know her since the first grade, and have been inseperable ever since. She's rich, moody, and strong-willed, which makes her an expert at bossing you around.
She has long, slightly wavy dark brown hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. She's 6'2" ft tall.
romanceable by women.
Harrison Lee (he/him)
Your bestfriend's boyfriend, known to most as the school's star quarterback. Many are intimidated by his large stature, before he tells his first stupid joke and they realize he wouldn't hurt a fly--not unless it's in the way of his touchdown.
He has tan skin, curly, dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. He's 6 ft tall.
romanceable by any gender.
Elizabeth (he/him)
A contractor of the Hounds, an influential and secretive organization of vampires. He is just as secretive as an individual, prefering to keep most forms of expression to a minimum.
He has brown skin, dark brown eyes, and short, coily black hair with a white streak in the front. He stands at 5'8".
romanceable by any gender.
Kitty (she/her)
Kitty is among the elite members of the Hounds. Self-assured and cunning, charming and dangerous in equal measure, she is not one to underestimate.
She has brown skin, black eyes, and short, wavy black hair. She is 5'3".
romanceable by any gender.
??? (??/???)
A secret ;)
from top to bottom, left to right: Elizabeth, Harrison, Kitty, Angelina
****You don't have to publish this one*** but: re the "grudge" idea where you can't forgive Angel for turning you. It has so many small narrative interactions that are interesting to consider for a female MC. Like shes a closeted/traumatized lesbian in a heteronormative relationship who initially has issues with the player being lesbian, which in the real world usually carries the context of being scared that the player would prey on her or be interested in her, where she preys on the player instead. Also from my reading I have the strong suspicion she was assaulted by her maker as well, which is then also turned on its head by making her the one who "assaults" you later that night - consensually or not. Also its so interesting to consider how this is going to affect the player, who can have a deep deep trust in Angel or even players who dont like Angel and are angry they ditched them it was a deeply violating act in a situation where they thought they were safe - Angel also thought she was safe with both Harry and MC at the party as well which is how women feel IRL at bars with friends and why so many people don't understand how people slip something in their drink with their friends there. So many small narrative choices that reflect larger issues and turn them (haha) on their head. I just wonder if this is how you intended for the scene to be read or not? Is there anything you meant to be relayed as well that you think I missed during my initial reading?
I'm so glad that you engaged with the text enough to find all these connections, especially because I wrote it, and didn't think of most them myself 😭
That being said, it doesn't mean that your reading is in conflict with my intent. It fits with my explorations of control and hypocrisy when it comes to Angelina as an individual and in her relationship with MC. The part you mentioned about the fear of being preyed upon contrasting Angelina's preying on MC, is a good thing to notice, and as the game goes on you might notice a certain pattern or sort of irony regarding Angelina's fears and her actions.
I hesitate to say much about my intentions, but I think your reading fits well with my intentions overall. I loved hearing your thoughts, so thanks for sending 'em in!! <3
I can't say much right now because I am overwhelmed by how much I enjoyed playing but I loved it so much. Your writing is superb.
This means a lot to me, thank you! At first I was nervous about publishing a game like this because I felt there were so many better writers in this community and that I wasn't up to par, so I appreciate it.
I'm dyslexic and the font you use is very legible to me. Do you have its name anywhere? I want to try to override my browser's font to be that. Hopefully it'll help when reading choicescript games on PC.
I'm glad! The default font is called Ovo, so if you didn't change anything in the settings, it should be that one! I got it here from google fonts.
However, there are four font options, so if that isn't it, you can see which font is selected in the settings. They all have their official names.
…i might be too petty but id never forgive someone for turning me into a vampire and getting me in trouble, can that sort of grudge play out in the game?
hehehee yes it can >:)
MC's relationship with Angelina is planned to possibly get real bad :)
Y'all are out here obsessing over Angelina while I'm hopelessly down bad for Harrison. 😩 Am I the only one?? If so, that's perfectly fine with me… more Harry for me. 🤭💛
You're definitely not alone, just a little outnumbered lol!
I'm sure this is a case of read and find out but I can't wait to see Angels reaction to my gay ass male MC turning up on her doorstep, in his bowtie with some flowers, asking for permission to court H.
Seriously how much of an 'ally' will she be in that situation? It'd be extremely weird for anyone. Can't wait to see the most dysfunctional love triangle/polycule in the world with MC and H bonking away and MC and Angel then off out to hunt for blood, or whatever they have going on.
lmao that's so funny, she'd feel like his dad.
I don't think anyone has asked about going after Harrison in a way that is more courteous to Angelina. You might be the first, which is really funny to me 😭 😭 I'll say, it is possible to wait before making serious moves on Harrison, out of loyalty to your friend or whatever. It's kinda like a more yearnful route.
Glad your excited for the comeback of the Harry-MC-Angel trio, it's going to be lots of fun... 😈
Is it canon that MC never dated then? Or at least never had anything serious before
They could've dated, but nothing serious in college so far, and nothing serious in highschool except potentially during their sophmore and/or senior years. MC has had little luck romantically overall, but whether they had any serious relationships or dating experience will be up to the player.
I'm trying really hard to give the other ROs the attention they deserve but Angelina keeps infecting my mind 😔 why is she so perfect? I love girl-best-friends-who-are-definitely-more-than-that-but-something-big-needs-to-happen-to-make-them-adress-it. I know her route will be very angsty and I'm not sure I'm prepared but bring it on! Also, how would you rank the ROs in terms of slow burn? I hope Kitty will be faster because I need a girl tending to my wounds left by Angelina coldness 😿
Fastest to slowest burn is generally:
Kitty > Harrison > Angelina = Elizabeth
I can't tell yet whether Angelina or Elizabeth will happen slower. I'm leaning towards Elizabeth being the slowest, but they both are the least open to romance.
Boy I could only imagine how Angelina would feel if a female MC who had dated a bunch of other girls and she would kiss them right in front of her. (rip her poor little lesbian heart)
lmao luckily for her, mc is too much of a loser to pull that many girls 😢
Wait so is Angie in the closet or does she know and is keeping Harrison as a lavender boyfriend to avoid homophobia?
Kinda feel bad for Harrison for being lead on in the latter case (unless he's in on it too and consents to it)
She is, at least to some degree, sincere in her belief in her own heterosexuality. I know this leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but I'd like to be vague for confidentiality reasons...
You'll get a better understanding of Angelina's relationship with Harrison as time goes on, but regardless of her view of her sexuality, she could still be leading him on :/ (not saying it is or isn't happening--not trying to spoil their arc) There does seem to be a gap of affection between them, and that's definitely sad.
I feel like Angelina and MC definitely kissed as "practice" when they were younger but Angel said it "didn't count" because they were both girls. And now she pretends she doesn't even remember it (she absolutely does)
yeahhh I could see that 😅
She might even be more likely to, if mc brought it up, talk about how she felt nothing (lie) and joke about it being her straight awakening (lie)
Saw the ask that said which fictional characters do the ros relate to. LOL’d when it said Angel relates to Jennifer; it’s so on point, that’s exactly who I was thinking of when I read her description. Guess that means I gotta be the Needy in that relationship ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, I don’t make the rules. Anyway great demo looking forward to more!!
lol that'd make a good bff halloween costume for Angel and MC. Angelina would be down for it, even if MC isn't a girl.
I still haven't decided about nicknames, but it's feeling likely. If I add 'em then yeah you'll be able to pick her nickname. Probably in chapter two or three.
