    House of Spades

    Asher, Finn, and Leo Spade grew up surrounded by wealth, privilege, and the complicated legacy of their infamous family. Their father, Daniel Spade, is publicly a respected billionaire businessman and philanthropist, but behind closed doors he controls a powerful criminal organization with ties to underground gambling, smuggling, money laundering, and organized crime. When Daniel married your mother, Chloe, you became part of the Spade family and gained three older stepbrothers. Years later, you’re firmly woven into their close-knit family and live with them at the sprawling Spade estate. Asher, the oldest, is intelligent, responsible, and composed. Finn is the laid-back, artistic middle brother who shares your love of music. Leo, the youngest, is a charming troublemaker who owns the upscale nightclub The Spade, where you occasionally perform as a singer. Despite their differences, all three brothers are fiercely protective of you, and relentless when it comes to teasing you. Between family dinners, parties, nights at Leo’s club, music sessions with Finn, and the secrets surrounding Daniel’s empire, life as a Spade is rarely boring. Behind the family's glamorous public image lies a dangerous world of loyalty, secrets, rivals, and betrayal. But at the end of the day, you're not simply Daniel's stepchild. You're a Spade.

    A Princess’s Escape

    Princess Nymiriel was never meant to run from her kingdom. But when her father promises her hand to the ruthless Dark Elf Crown Prince, Farrow Brightlake, in hopes of ending a centuries-long war, she chooses freedom instead. You are the King’s ward, and a half-elf, raised in the palace after your father, his closest advisor and right-hand man, died. You grew up alongside Nymiriel, becoming her closest companion and the finest archer in the Light Elf kingdom. The peace agreement has plans for you too: if you are female, you are promised to Farrow’s younger brother, Prince Thalm; if male, your service is transferred to the Dark Elf princes as an elite archer. Neither of you intends to cooperate. When Nymiriel flees, you go with her. Now fugitives, you must hide your identities and survive beyond the palace walls while both kingdoms search for you. With resistance against Dark Elf rule growing, war still simmering, and the Brightlake brothers unwilling to simply forget the broken agreement, your search for freedom may pull you into something far larger than either of you intended.

    Infernal Affairs

    Ajax is one of the most powerful Demon Lords in the Underworld. Ancient, feared, and chronically bored, he has spent centuries collecting souls, winning wars, navigating demon politics, and searching for anything, or anyone, capable of holding his attention. You are a rare half-human, half-demon hybrid. Your father, Lorex, is an ancient Demon Lord who abandoned the Underworld years ago to build a life on Earth with your human mother, Delilah. Knowing exactly how much attention your unusual heritage could attract, Lorex kept your existence hidden from his former world. Unfortunately, his secret eventually reaches Ajax, his centuries-old rival. Fascinated by your existence and thoroughly entertained by the opportunity to infuriate Lorex, Ajax kidnaps you and brings you to his fortress in the Underworld. Now you're trapped beneath the roof of one of the most unpredictable Demon Lords alive and discovering the world your father deliberately kept you away from. Demon Lords wage wars over wounded pride, stolen souls threaten old power structures, black-market dealers trade secrets for favors, and Heaven watches the Underworld through an increasingly fragile peace. But the Underworld isn't only violence and politics. It's a sprawling civilization of supernatural cities, parties, clubs, markets, rival houses, dangerous bargains, strange friendships, and demons with lives and ambitions of their own. Ajax wanted a rare companion and a spectacular way to piss off an old rival. What happens after that is entirely up to you.

    Gods Among Men

    Max and Maddox are twin sons of the Sun God and Moon Goddess. Months later, the Moon Goddess had another set of twins, Silver and you, with Pluto, God of the Underworld. This makes the two sets of twins half-siblings, though the Sun God raised Silver and you as his own, and all four grew up together as a close-knit family. Now 25, the four divine shifters share a city apartment, take odd jobs to pay the bills, and secretly work as masked vigilantes. Max shifts into a lion, Maddox into a snow leopard, and Silver into a grey wolf. Your character is entirely customizable—you choose their gender, shifter animal, and unique supernatural power. Unfortunately, having gods for relatives means family life extends far beyond the apartment. Pluto owns an exclusive supernatural nightclub where gods and other powerful beings regularly gather, making it a familiar place the siblings can visit to drink, socialize, party, meet other immortals, or inevitably get dragged into divine chaos. Gods, demigods, tricksters, Underworld royalty, legendary heroes, and other supernatural personalities from multiple pantheons have a habit of crossing into their lives, sometimes with serious problems and sometimes just to cause chaos. Between vigilante missions, supernatural threats, divine family drama, friendships, romance, parties, ancient rivalries, and surprisingly ordinary everyday problems, being the children of gods is anything but ordinary.

    Years after a massive solar flare brought modern civilization crashing down, humanity has begun to rebuild. You call New Hope home, a thriving fortified settlement where crops grow, markets bustle, taverns stay loud, and people have finally learned how to live again.

Together, you ride beyond the walls on your horses, Zero and Creamsicle, scavenging abandoned towns and forgotten ruins for anything worth bringing home.

There are friendships to build, relationships to explore, parties to attend, and an entire ruined world waiting beyond the gates. But the roads are becoming less predictable. Travelers whisper about organized raiders, familiar trade routes are growing dangerous, and a ruthless leader named Bruce has begun taking an interest in prosperous settlements. New Hope is your home. What happens beyond its walls, who you become close to, and how deeply you involve yourself in the dangers gathering outside them is entirely up to you.

    Tangled With Fate

    For 200 years, the Dark Elves have ruled most of the known world through powerful magic and brutal force. But hidden throughout the occupied territories, a resistance still fights for freedom. Sebastian Grey is one of its leaders, a human raised among rebels after the Dark Elves killed his parents. Blunt, stubborn, dangerously confident, and fiercely loyal, he has spent his life fighting a war that began generations before he was born. You travel the occupied lands with Rufus, the massive black wolf you rescued from a Dark Elf hunting trap as a puppy. Whether you are human, Light Elf, half-elf, or even a Dark Elf defector is entirely your choice. A chance encounter with Sebastian's rebels brings you directly into his path. Except meeting Sebastian doesn't feel like meeting a stranger. Dreams, déjà vu, buried memories, and an impossible sense of familiarity begin following you both. Neither of you remembers that two centuries ago, in another lifetime, you and Sebastian founded the original Resistance together. And that wasn't the only life you shared. Across different lifetimes you've been lovers, friends, and allies, always somehow finding each other again. Now the Resistance you once created is rising again, and so are the secrets of your forgotten lives. Whether you become lovers again, inseparable friends, something entirely different, or finally break a pattern centuries in the making is up to you.
