What Do You Do When You Start To Fall In Love With Someone You Shouldnt?

What do you do when you start to fall in love with someone you shouldn’t?

Being a divorce lawyer in Hollywood, you’d think that you would have seen it all. After all, you have covered some of the biggest divorces in the last decade. From the multi-million dollar dynasty that was the Mercier Family to the scandal that surrounded the affair of Trevor and Jaime Reynolds.

You’ve truly seen it all, even with the ever changing entity that was Hollywood. But, through all of that, you maintained your one golden rule: never get involved with clients.

To fall in love with a client would end with disastrous results that could destroy the very business you’ve strived to grow. It’s something you’d never even think about doing.

Until the Blackwood Family entered your life.

Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, sexuality, gender (male, female, and non-binary), hobbies, some decorations within your house, and portions of your past.

There will be 4 ROs within the game. From the Patriarch and Matriarch of the Blackwood Family to your business partner and the bodyguard. (Gabriel and Anastasia Blackwood are inspired by Gomez and Morticia Addams.)

Can you fight the connection you feel with one, or both, of the Blackwood’s? Or is it just a futile attempt to stop fate? (Yes, there will be a LT with them… if you decide to do so.)

Or will you be able to go down the safer routes of your business partner or the loyal bodyguard.

This game is meant to be a fun adventure for you all. It will have angsty moments, but it’s not meant to be a super dark story. It is rated 18+ though.

Gabriel Blackwood [M]

One of the biggest names when it comes to the business world; Gabriel Blackwood, while oddly eccentric, is known far and wide for his generosity when it comes to his vast fortune. It’s for this very reason that you’re not surprised that he’s more than willing to give his soon-to-be ex-wife almost half of his estate. He’s not one you could ever pin down into one category, but you know your time with him going forward will be more than interesting.

Anastasia Blackwood [F]

A soft spoken woman that’s rarely ever had to raise her voice to be heard. After all, many who share the same room with her have a hard time shifting their focus to anyone else. Having made a name for herself within Hollywood on the silver screen, from quite a young age, Anastasia has been taking a break from the hectic day-to-day life of being an A-List Actress. Now that her pending divorce has become public, and the paparazzi have come flocking in once more, Anastasia’s cool stoicism has never been harder to penetrate. Will you be able to soothe her wounded heart?

Peyton Lewis [M/F]

Your business partner and closest friend within the world. Having them by your side, in all of their flirtatious glory, has always been like a safe haven for you after a tiring day. You know that all you would have to do is walk across the hall and into their office; where they’d stop whatever they were doing to make sure you were okay. With everything that’s going on, with yourself and the Blackwood Family, you’re going to need them now more than ever. And maybe along the way you’ll discover something that’s always been there.

Morgan Reese [M/F]

The Head of Security for the Blackwood Estate. They’re a person that sticks by you whenever you visit to make sure that everything goes smoothly. Though you also think it’s because they don’t trust you at all. You don’t know the story behind their relationship with the Blackwood Family, but you can definitely see that it’s caused them to be unwaveringly loyal. Maybe, given time, you’ll get a glimpse at that loyalty as you learn more about them.

"Aren't we all just broken people trying to live by?"

A second chance is about character growth and trying to change for the better.

Your family is one of the richest families in the world. More specifically, your family used to be one of the richest families in the world. Despite your parents' neglect, you were loved, pampered, and given everything you wanted as a child, thanks to your siblings, lover, friends, and caregivers. You have never experienced hardship or the consequences of your actions, so when your family suddenly falls apart, you are shocked, panicked, and at a loss. So when another rich family offers you the chance to get back to your old life again, you can't bring yourself to refuse, so you go with them abroad, abandoning all those people who cared for you and loved you just like the selfish and ungrateful brat you are. I suppose there is such a thing as too much love. Just as they promised, you got your old life back. You were, once again, that adored and envied person. You had a new lover, new friends, a bright future, and multiple opportunities. Years have passed; you are now working for your so-called adopted family's company, and your next project is in your hometown, a place filled with memories, unfinished business, familiar people, and signs of your fall. Now you must face the consequences of your actions, and this time there's no escape.

𓄿 SETTING

The story takes place within Iyrus, a fictional empire that’s been inspired by the works of other great fantasy nations. 

Your character was born within the prosperous borders of Iyrus, at least you believe you were, and it’s a place where magic is as common as swordplay. Within this land, anyone can prosper as long as they’re willing to make the proper sacrifices. 

𓄿 STORY

With a past that’s muddled, almost non-existent, your character finds themselves in a search for who they used to be. With only flashes of memories, that truly only come at night, it’s a task that almost seems impossible. All you do know? You have to find The Āeksion, known as the Honor Guard in the common tongue, the fabled heroes of all of Iyrus. The problem? No one has seen them in over four years.

Will you be able to uncover your past while you fight for your future?

𓄿 CHARACTER CREATION

At the beginning of Flight of the Raven, you’ll have the opportunity to customize your character’s name, gender, sexual orientation, and some basic facets of who they are. You will also be able to customize your hair color, hair texture, hair length, eye color, skin color, and height.

For the personality, there are multiple characteristics that can be obtained to help shape who your character is as a person within the world of Iyrus. Depending on which get locked in on, further along in the game, they could very well shift how your character reacts within scenes later on. Please be aware that some portions of the personality of the character are set in stone, i.e. this isn’t a villain origin story.

𓄿 LOVE INTERESTS

The Romantic Options, or Love Interests, will be determined by your own character's preferences. Note: If you prefer both men and women, the Love Interests will be randomized. There will be a total of Four Love Interests: The Captain, The Healer, The Rogue, and The Mage. Each one will hopefully offer something unique to your gameplay.

Kal/Kiera Yusmin [M/F] The Enemy:

Coming from a royal family and being the commander of the opposing army, K isn’t afraid of war. They lead the opposing army to your doorstep, shouting commands to kill everyone no matter who they are. Coming from a ruthless family, it’s not a shock they’re just as ruthless.

But when you come face-to-face, you notice a sad expression beneath their stoic exterior. They hesitate when they swing their weapon down on a family, and that’s when you know they have no control.

Will you be able to break them of that control or will it be a dark path for you both?

“And all the things I wish I said, I finally said.”

Appearance: Crystal blue mixes with brown skin, marred with a deep, jagged scar on their left cheek. A reminder of a battle lost. Wavy, auburn hair is cut right above Kiera’s shoulders, while Kal’s hair is to his ears. They both have a muscular build, years of training and on the battlefield showing. Kal stands at 5′8″ and Kiera stands at 5′10″.

Vy Ghian [M/F] The Protector:

Your protector, bodyguard, knight in (actual) shining armor. They are always at your side, waiting outside every door. They’ve been by you ever since they were recruited by your father, protecting you when you couldn’t protect yourself. They vowed to never leave, to always be there when you took up the throne.

However, there’s something lurking beneath their faithful persona. Something dark, painful. Something that threatens to take them down whenever they get close to the edge.

Will you be there for them when they need it most like they have been for you or will you leave them in their time of need?

“Can you love me even when I have sinned so greatly?”

Appearance: Ashen blonde hair rests on lithe shoulders, a violet eye hidden behind an eyepatch against pale skin. A small tattoo stains their neck, a story behind the mark. Silver piercings hang on to their ears, a cross hanging around their throat. Female Vy stands at 5′6″ while Male Vy stands at 6′0″.
