DEMO (TBA)

GENRE: slice of life, humourous, romance, superhero

Seven years ago, you had uprooted your life after graduating and made a big move — away from everything and everyone you knew — to settle in the quiet city of Assay together with your partner. Things hadn't been easy, but the two of you made it work together. Not too long ago, everything had seemed to be coming together on the grand stage of life.

Until you had woken up one day with superpowers.

Contrary to popular belief, obtaining superpowers did not magically make everything better — in fact, it had made things worse. After multiple setbacks, your life is starting to feel more like a sitcom whose audience has packed up and gone home. One out of five stars. Would not recommend. And the only one still left watching is you.

Still, life goes on in your tiny studio apartment. Start a full time job again, strike up relationships with new co-workers and neighbours, and beat up a villain or two to keep the city safe. Oh, and perhaps find some love along the way too.

Will you be able to do it all, hero?

⚠️ content warnings: some violence, optional explicit scenes and the author's godawful sense of humour

craft both your mc's civilian identity and vigilante persona

choose from 1 of 5 superpowers — animal shapeshifting, electricity, persuasion, future sight, invisibility — all of which come with their own unique and exclusive scenes

fight a whole host of different villains and criminals to keep the city of Assay safe! — or not, and watch how public perception of you changes

keep your identity secret from the various parties trying to unmask you

build relationships with the neighbours living with you at Ivy Apartments or remain a recluse

kindle a romance with four romance options — your hard-headed police ex, an aloof and sardonic doctor, the easily flustered colleague or your new next door neighbour

and most importantly... pay your rent on time

Ronan Foster [m/f] — 34

The life of a vigilante comes with its fair share of scrapes and bruises and broken bones. Although their bedside manner has much room for improvement, there is no one better for mending your injuries than the "Good" Doctor — a loner surgeon with the Midas hands who's willing to keep your identity a secret. As long as you can cough up, of course. Now, if only they would be willing to lower those exorbitant medical fees, just a little...

Li Lin [m/f] — 24

The tenant who has just moved into the apartment beside yours. Well mannered and mildly reclusive, you don't know much about them aside from these facts: that they are studying to be a software engineer, they moved to Assay to take care of their grandparents, and they make a mean bowl of chilli oil wontons. Still, with the way that every appliance in their apartment seems intent on breaking down at the most inopportune moments, it seems like you'll have no choice but to help your new neighbour out...

Hayden/Hayley Dayvis [m/f] — 31

A sharp, hard-headed police lieutenant who is determined to rein in the chaos happening in Assay City — and that includes bringing a certain spandex-ed vigilante to justice. Unfortunate, considering that they were also once your best friend, college sweetheart and life partner all rolled into one. But all that changed two years ago with a messy separation worthy of a TS hit song. It almost feels as though they can't stand the very sight of you now. Can that spark between the two of you be rekindled once again?

Scott/Stelle Barnes [m/f] — 33

Your colleague at your newest job whom you share desks with. Easily flustered but cheerful and warm-hearted, S is quick to make you feel welcome in the office. While they're an ordinary office worker with an ordinary 9 to 5 job, their admiration for your vigilante identity is just a little over the top. With you regularly running from your computer to take extended "bathroom breaks", will S catch on to your real identity?

Spoilers! 🤐😬 But your MC can choose to be afflicted not just by her mother's parenting but also at Aunt Zinnia's.

Heya, my question pertains to UB's abilities! Obviously they each have a facet of vampiric power that they are particularly better at than the rest of the team. A's strength, N's healing, F's speed, M's pheromones. I am curious, however, how each member of UB ranks in each ability after the #1! Like A is the strongest, but who is the second strongest, third, etc. F is is the fastest, but who is the second fastest, etc., etc.

Ohhhh! Good question!

Second physically strongest would probably be N, and that's more an age thing. The older a vampire is the more powerful overall they become.

Second healing would be F, they do have more magic, I guess is the best word, in their blood, so that helps.

Second in speed would be M, bonus of not being as solid in bulk as A or long-limbed as N, hehe!

Seconds in pheromones would be...oh, this is a bit more complicated to answer than you might expect for reasons.

Thank you so much for the interesting ask! :)

Spoilers if you haven't read the demo:

But ....

"Oh, go suck on an egg, Agate." Beryl crossed her arms. "I didn't do anything I wasn't allowed to, I just moved one of my subjects to the town. Uh, what was it called again? Locktree or something like that."

Is literally the best thing I have read in a while. I laughed so much.

I forgot how Beryl is my absolute FAVORITE!!!! ♥️

I am so glad you liked Beryl! She was actually supposed to be super serious when I first created her, but I really leaned into that younger sister vibe, especially with how immature the gods can be in lore. I just thought it would be cute for Beryl to keep her sibling on their toes.

There are now saved slots, so you are able to save your progress, and I have changed that you will now not have a set personality, but now you are going to be building your personality, which will affect certain situations. Please, if you find any mistakes in coding or grammar, please message me via Tumblr to fix the problem. I want to make this the best possible interactive fiction and story that I can, so I will be very grateful for your help.

Yes, it will be brought up, and they will act differently towards you (some more than others) if you romance the other; however, you can still flirt with both, just be warned that they might not take that kindly.
