Unshackled-if - Unshackled

All im saying, it'd be better to start off fully with twine. Down the line, you might switch over from cs to twine and it'd be hassle trying to send over those variables from there to over there

Yeah, that thing that I was afraid of because I always had in mind to eventually make my game into twine. It might not compare, but I know the struggle of changing from one code source to another with past projects I did for college, and I really don’t want to stress over it when I could continue writing chapters.

Could we get an option to select multiple skin markings/scars/tattoos?

Sure! I just need to change the radio buttons to checkboxes. It should be easy!

Soul Collector [RO] - The Helper [F,M or NB]

"I am the possession that you cannot shake, the demon that dwells within. Your soul is mine, and I will never let go." Who are they? Why did they help you? Can you trust them?

💘 HEART W/ ARROW - what traits do they look for in a relationship? do they believe in love at first sight?

So I kind of merged the two questions together:

Aurelian: from a young age, Aurelian was shaped by his parents troubled marriage, which left him feeling disillusioned and resentful towards love.

As the heir to the throne, he was fully dedicated to his duties and responsibilities, leaving little room for thoughts of love and romance.

In fact, he struggled to distinguish between his desire for control and his genuine feelings of love for the things and people he cared about. So that made Aurelian have a complex relationship with the concept of love, and struggles to recognize it when he encounters it.

Elara: despite prioritizing her studies and interests, Elara always remained hopeful that she will find the one.

Growing up with books and studying, she never found much time for romantic relationships, but deep down she yearns for a deep and meaningful connection with someone who shares her love of knowledge.

She dreams of finding someone who can keep up with her intellectually and who will challenge her to be her best self.

Whenever she meets someone who shows even the slightest interest in her passions, she eagerly seizes the opportunity to befriend them.

While she may not believe in love at first sight per se, she is open to the possibility of experiencing a powerful and immediate connection with someone special.

Kazuo: for Kazuo, love is not something that can be rushed or taken lightly. He prefers to take his time to really get to know someone and build a connection based on shared values, interests, and experiences. He is someone who approaches love with patience, care and a deep sense of respect for the other person.

In his eyes, finding love is not about physical attraction. It’s about finding someone who truly cares about him and shares his values and passions.

And Kazuo will go to great lengths to protect and support the people he loves, even if it means putting his own wellbeing at risk.

Aiden/Ava: since they were young, they have always been prone to “puppy love”— that instant crush on someone who helped them up after a fall or made them laugh. But while their feelings may come quickly, they don’t take love lightly.

They have a natural tendency to befriend people and have formed many close relationships throughout their life.

But even as they enjoy these connections, A still hold out hope that there is someone out there who will love and care for them in a way that no one else ever has.

SC:

“Love at first sight? No, it was a possession beyond mortal comprehension, a binding of our souls in a union of passion and desire.”

…

Looks cool, but what do you mean redemption? From what I can tell the Mc was betrayed by his king and comrades through no fault of his own. Do you mean redeeming the order or something like that?

You're right. The term "redemption" can refer to making up past mistakes or wrongdoing. But in the context of the story, the redemption the MC is after involves seeking justice(or other methods 👀) over the order and the betrayal they have experienced.

Maybe I could've worded it out better? What do you think? 🤔

Thank you for checking out my wip! <3
