MADALENA 'Lena' PEARCE / MARCELO 'Hak' PEARCE.

That's you. Detective extraordinaire, in this line of work for over ten years, and with a solid reputation in town. Isn't that awesome?

GABRIEL DANTAS.

Your work partner. Fresh out of the oven, bubbly, genuine and dense in the best of senses, even if his social skills are... Not great.

VIVIANE 'Vi' VASCONCELLOS.

Your work colleague turned friend. A friendship build over silence and more silence. Sardonic, aloof and dry-witted—one of your favorites from the station.

BARTOLOMEU 'Bart' DUTSON.

Your boss. He calls, you go; he gives you a day off, you accept it. The dynamic has been working over the years, and the trust put on you fuels to a good work.

RICHARD MARQUES TORO.

Your ex-partner. Memories of his dismissal are always hard to remember, and now that his sister's dead, everything just got worse.

VINÍCIUS 'Vini' CASTRO / VERÔNICA 'Vêre' CASTRO.

The reporter. Your relationship was build over mutual benefit—they give you names, you give them crumbs. The flirty banter only adds flavor, of course.

CRISTINA 'Cris' HAK / CRISTIANO 'Cris' HAK.

The love of your life. You never thought you would share your life with another human being, but Cris made it possible. Everything seems just right. At least for you.

WARNINGS: This saga will deal with heavy topics such as: psychological abuse, system abuse, domestic abuse (honestly, all kinds of abuses), misogyny, homophobia, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, infidelity, moral compass, corruption, and many others I can't remember right now. As the story progresses, I'll be updating this disclaimer accordingly.

Main tag: #NC.

reposts are appreciated! :)

here are some snippets from my favorite interactions between MC and Gabriel hehe

Also out of the trigger warnings which ones might MC be subjected to 👀

Oh and can MC be gay? Will we be able to pick Chris' gender? You mentioned kids??

Yes, you can pick Cris' 'gender'—and I'll take this opportunity to say you won't be choosing only their preference or gender, but a character to be MC's partner. Even if they have the same nickname, Cristina and Cristiano are different 'people', just like Madalena and Marcelo (the MC) aren't the same protagonist. But neither of them are yandere, unfortunately. If I'm honest, Cristina may be slightly (VERY SLIGHTLY) yandere, but Cristiano is nowhere near this tag, LOL.

For the trigger warnings (and this will answer your other question as well): it depends. Madalena, for example, will deal with veiled misogyny no matter if she's with Cristiano or Cristina. Both will face homophobia (veiled as well) if you pick a queer route. And, regardless of the MC preferences, both Lena and Hak already have and may be subjected to psychological abuse, system abuse, and can be subject to drug abuse if you choose to have them being smokers. As of now, these are the ones I remember from the top of my head, but I'll add them accordingly when you choose which route you'll play with.

Finally, yes—you have kids! Julio and Juliana, the twins (16 years old), and Joseline (10 years old). Julio and Juli aren't yours, but they grew up with you since they were 6. Joseline, regardless of the route (manXman, womanXwoman, manXwoman) is biologically yours.

LOL, completely fair. Castro is a temptation, and MC's not blind!

hi, and thank you.

AF:ATOG is short for Atlas Fyndor: A Tale of Giants (kinda presumptuous, I know). It's a fantasy IF I was planning to write last year, but life got in the way and it wasn't rolling as well as NC. I do want to bring it back (it's my baby, after all), but I'll need to sharpen some things first.
