This is my first WIP, and technically this is a rewrite but it will be the last unless I have a late night epiphany about this WIP being able to become something greater. However thats besides the point, time to share what I love.

False Ancestry:
You are the child prodigy, the star of the town, the next in line to be captain of the football team. However, that is no longer the case. You have been suspended from the game for the remainder of the school year due to an incident involving a former school teacher.
You have to deal with the consequences of your actions, that isn't all that is happening in your little town. The queen bee of the school, who has been missing for the last three weeks, has been found and returned home. It's your responsibility to help her rehabilitation, for better or for worse, as one of her childhood friends.
Maybe this would have been the start of a sweet love story and change between the two of you, the troubled star and the amnesia queen. But life has different plans for you. A monster is waiting in the woods, stalking and hunting down residents of Blackwood.
Following a very unfortunate series of events, you are truly awakened to the world around you, which is filled with monsters and things that are no longer human. Do you have what it takes to save the people closest to you and retain your humanity?
You have seven days until prom arrives to make your decision, seven days to overcome your past, seven days to decide your future path. As a monster or as a human.
Meet the Romance Options:
Irene North
The Queen bee of the school, vice captain of the cheerleading squad, president of the student council, and the daughter of one of the richest people in town. She is also technically your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. Her parents and yours are the people behind the townβs economy, which affords her a certain level of untouchability that she exploits to her benefit.
Irwin North
The king of the school, vice captain of the football team, president of the student council, and the son of one of the richest people in town. He can also be considered your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. His parents and yours are the people behind the townβs economy, which affords him a certain level of untouchability that he exploits to his benefit.
Rachael Von Liechtenstein.
Vice captain of the cheerleader team, overall great friend despite everything. She is a bit weird with how she acts sometimes, you wonder how much of her is the real her and how much is an act.
Skye White
Nerd, weeb, and, surprisingly, the captain of the volleyball team. President of the school anime club as its only member, not for lack of trying to get people interested. She is one of your childhood friends and the one that you are closest to, is your best friend despite her odd behavior.
John/Jane Healthcliff
A victim of fate, that is the best way to describe John or Jane; they have been beaten down by life from the day they were born. Being born intersex created a division in their life with their parents. Their father couldnβt take the stigma of such a child and buried himself in work, while their mother couldnβt accept it and chose to only view them as a girl. This is only their home life, as their social life is a lot worse, as they get bullied for being different, for being feminine, even if they present themselves as a boy. However, you and the others donβt care about this, because they have and always will be your friend.
Ryan Ashford
The most annoying yet charming guy you know, Ashford, for all intents and purposes, is a clown that marches to the beat of his own drum. Which for some reason, works out in his favour every step of the way, and that makes him the best captain that you could ask for. He is the main reason that you gave football a second chance, and the main reason why you havenβt been expelled yet, besides Irene.
Charlotte Jenkins
Misguided? Thatβs the best way you can describe CJ, you canβt blame her too much, as she actively tries to be better than her family, but she is somehow still a bit tone deaf with half of the things that she says. She is that one friend who says something unintentionally horrible with a dumb smile on her face, she reminds you of someone you knew sometimes.
Sigismund Saint
The new transfer student, you havenβt personally met him, but word travels fast around the school. He is the archetype of transfer students in movies, cold, quiet, and distant from everyone, but the first two descriptions of him could be because heβs rumored to be mute. The one thing that is constantly mentioned besides his muteness, is his sheer arrogance despite being unable to speak. All bite, no bark. As they say.

FAQ:
Why is the MC African American?
I wanted to tell a story involving a Black MC and several themes in the story are based on that fact.
Why do the F!MC and M!MC have differences?
Simply put, Itβs because of how Irene/Irwin operate in the story, Irwin wouldnβt be a cheerleader, and Irene wouldnβt be on the football team. But I also canβt have the player be on the same team as Ir, so they had to be split.
What supernatural elements will be present in the story and when?
Currently, I only have the vampire and werewolf routes planned, plus a human route, and this is unlikely to change. The supernatural elements will not make an appearance until chapter 1, the prologue is to set up the human elements and the framework of the MCs life before it got derailed.
Why is the MC so violent?
The Main character is violent and more prone to violence, because thatβs part of the story I want to tell and has overarching implications throughout the narrative.
Rewrites and changes.
The story is subject to change due to the fact that I come up with better ideas for the story, it has been rewritten before, changes have been added, and will continue to be added. But I will try to stop adding retroactive changes, and all changes will not affect the previous updates.
When I finish the story, I plan to do one final rewrite before I submit it to hosted games.
Additional stuff.
This will be subject to change, depending on what repeat questions I receive, but that is all for now.

Wolf fox and a coyote
I kept mixing up the three IFs so I draw them all together. Top Wolf set free, left Wulfebound and the last is Coyote. All can be found on CogDemo.
They smile innocently. "May I have your name?"
You stare. All fae know better than to answer to that.
They chuckle. "If anything, your expression was a much better trade."
Name: Yvaine/Ywain de Castela.
Heritage: Human.Β
Pronouns: Gender Selectable. (She/Her or He/Him)
Title: Prince/ss of the Kingdom of Castela.Β
Aliases: The Envoy, The Human in Gold.
Dynamic: Alliance of Convenience, Us Against the World, Safe Harbor.
Personality: Calm, analytical, observant and gentle.
Likes: Copper, Amber, Spiced Herbal Tea, Hard Candy, Snakes.
Dislikes: Gold, White Lilies.
α―½ Overview.
Most humans arrive in Elphame terrified.
Y arrived smiling.
They came into court adorned in gifts of gold. But those golden chains were never meant as honors.
When crisis struck the human realm, the panicked castelians offered up their most pristine royal as a fae exchange for fortune and prosperity.
But Y had other plans.
It would have been easy to take their kindness for naivety, but humanity had already taught them how to survive amongst vipers.Β Y just doesn't believe it requires you to become one.
They sit now among the fae in deep discussions, their fate suspended by the disappearance of the Peregrine.
And despite their circumstances, the human royal keeps finding excuses to meet with you. Their eyes sparkle whenever you're around, and the smile they wear for diplomacy begins to look a little more genuine.
α―½ Facts.
Mischievous and Dry: Y hides a sharp and surprisingly dark sense of humor. They have an unfortunate habit of making jokes that happen either when everyone else is too tense to laugh, or are so deadpan they fly over people's heads.
The Coveted Crown: They are, in fact, not the crown prince/ss. Y has said before that the role comes along with a congratulatory tart full of "nightshade" berries as a gift.
The Shadow: They didn't come to court completely alone. And from somewhere nearby, their ever-watchful guard is probably already judging you.
A Friend to Serpents: They used to have a pet snake and seem oddly fond of the animal, though they avoid discussing what happened to it.
I know I said I was going dark. But the situation with @thistimeitsdifferent--if has got me heated.
So here's how to spot GenAI in writing:
YOU CAN'T RELIABLY SPOT LLM USAGE.
The em-dash, en-dash and ellipses have been in use ever since their respective inventions. Crack open a novel from anytime before 2020, and you're bound to encounter any combination of the three.
The rule of three is human nature. Think about it. Damn near every fairytale involving the acquisition of something is in threes. There's the three-act structure. Trilogies. Trilogies of trilogies. I could go on.
Repetition of certain phrases: everyone has a pet phrase or two. Non-writers included.
Constant similes is something GenAI got from fanfiction where the authors are, by and large, amateurs and hobbyists who haven't quite gotten the hang of when a description is more effective without a simile than with.
Starting a sentence or paragraph with question? Well, that's just what people do. Continuing this with another question? You guessed it, still something that humans do. Is it annoying when it gets overused? You bet. It's still not a reliable indicator of LLM usage.
'It's not X, it's Y' is something English speakers have been doing for ages. The fact that people get witch hunted over this has made several authors in the writer spaces I lurk in completely change their language and the voice they chose just to avoid being accused of LLM usage.
But Siri! What ifβ
Nope. Not even having multiples of these is a reliable indicator. Some people just write like this, and LLMs generate text based on these people's writing.
But their English sounds so weird!
Did it ever occur to you that some people's first language isn't English? Eller er det noget, man mΓ₯ske er lidt for amerikansk til at overveje?
But I just know this person used it!
Do you, though? Who's to say an author you really like doesn't use GenAI? Scepticism is good, but scepticism without the critical thinking skills to apply it is as bad as taking everything at face value.
So what can I do, then?
Stop reading. Block the author if you must.
Don't go into their DMs or askbox or email or whatever other means of direct communication with the author to accuse them.
At best you're right and they'll own up to usage and quit.
At worst you're spitting in the face of an author metaphorically killing themselves to write, who might just have certain pet phrases, who just happens to have a favourite set of punctuation, who loves to use the rule of three because human nature dictates that three is pleasing.
At worst you're killing someone's passion and making them quit working on something that would have become brilliant with time and practice and effort.
At worst you're being xenophobicβunintentionally or otherwise.
And since this is the IF scene, consider this, too:
Writing is lonely and difficult and some people struggle to find writer's groups they mesh well with. Consider that IF writers are doing this largely for FREE. Consider that word count inflation has gotten so absolutely INSANE that IF authors are expected to drop 12 novels' worth of words into ONE SINGULAR piece of media.
And then consider if sending in that accusation really is worth spending your limited time on this planet.
Ai is destroying the planet? What about wars? Ai isnβt that fucking important. This whole topic isnβt even important. Theyβre stealing ur writing? Who fucking cares, millions of ppl are displaced rn bc of wars. Ai is the least of our problems. Point blank.
Whataboutism, the favourite go-to of AI bros who know they have no real argument in favour of GenAI.

Hello. This is about us removing Pussy Trauma's IF intro post from our blog due to the author's usage of GenAi in her character profiles.
Even after repeated clarifications, we have been receiving asks sent in bad faith, filled with name-calling and no intention of understanding our point. Pure vitriol.
This is unacceptable.
Please understand that our team isn't a group of people finding joy in all this hate and harrasment that has been spread around. We never asked for this. We only wish to stand by our values.
We are human beings, capable of mistakes but also capable of good change. People change over time and so do we.
In the future, any hateful asks sent to us (about this or any other topic) will not be entertained in the slightest, deleted and the user who sent them will be blocked without warning.
We also ask the community to refrain from sending hate to LG, the author of Pussy Trauma. We do not condone it and never wished for it to happen. We apologize for taking so long to address this.
Every person has their own opinion about this matter, and it's your personal choice to support something or not. The answer is not to send hate to the side that disagrees with you, just don't interact with it.
Our blog is not forcing people to pick our side, so please don't believe that we are actively targeting certain people and trying to push them out of the community.
"And the blood seeps into your tongue like a wretched secret, staining your teeth with sin. It tastes glorious, utterly addictive, a delicacy that reminds you of a flower in burgeoning."
"This, child of mine, is rebirth. Yours."
"You. You've brought death to our doorstep."
In this dark interactive game, you play as a vampire maker with volatile and out of control progeny posing as your lovely family.
One day, a letter from your mistress and sire, Madam Sei Kamimura, arrives in the mail, compelling you to leave the gritty Lower East of San Hugo for the exuberant neighborhood of Tillybeth, where strange residents regard you with suspicion and jealousy.
Upon arriving at Madam Kamimura's residence, the Montrose Manor, you end up discovering her dead body; your mistress has been slain while you traveled to her.
Now, you find yourself having to occupy her seat at the elusive Cult of Croesus, who promises you a lifetime of lavishness, if only you follow their rules and do their bidding.
It should be an easy "yes", however, life in Montrose Manor is plagued by dreams and visions of your former mistress.
Madam Sei Kamimura knew something which cost her many things, including her life. As you unravel her dark secrets, following the clues she cleverly left you, will you manage not to succumb to the darkness, both within and from the outside?
THADDEUS/THADDEA LEAL (m/f) is the alluring leader of the Cult of Croesus and a prideful, snobbish individual who never seems to be satisfied with anything. You, more than anyone, is always the main subject of their ire. Why? The reason is key to comprehend this infuriating specimen. [RO]
GALAHAD VALE (m/f) is the first person you ever turned and your self-proclaimed most loyal follower. Diligent but overprotective, Galahad seeks your approval in all things and wishes to destroy all who seek to slander your name. Out of their sense of loyalty to you or something else, you cannot discern. [RO, w: yandere archetype.]
VICTOR/INE GUNNER (m/f) is one of the residents of Tillybeth and was once a close, personal friend of Madam Kamimura. If you try to remember hard enough, you can catch glimpses of them in the depths of your mind. Observant but charming to a degree, Gunner harbors secrets of their own, secrets they would rather take to the grave. [RO]
LIBERCAGE counts with mentions of gore, body horror, dubious consent, explicit sexual content, unhealthy relationship dynamics, and more that will be updated accordingly. Player discretion is advised. Better suited for 18+ audience.
so it seems like the romance routes are gender locked now? which ROs are romanceable by which genders?
They are gender locked due to the RO in questions sexuality, its a sacrifice that I am willing to make for the player's sexuality to be more than just a check.
Ryan and Jessica can only be romanced by female characters.
Rachael and John can only be romanced by male characters.
Irwin, Irene, Skye, Sigismund can be romanced by everyone.
Here are their sexualities:
Rachael and Ryan (Ashford) are straight
Irene and Irwin are player sexual
Skye and Sigismund are bisexual
Jessica and John are Gay.
So I want some feedback on the new stuff I am adding, mostly the new UI and some other changes that you will see. So that brings me to the question. Do you guys want a small 5k sneak peek, or let me stew in uncertainty until the full release?
I am lazy, so your sexuality is important and it will affect a lot of stuff. When it comes to picking romance options, the sexuality of the character in question will take priority. Basically if you are a lesbian then technically Ashford's romance path is open to you since you are a woman, but he won't make any advances and his dialog will be different.
Also, I have to fucking recode the entire game from the ground up. May the lord have mercy on my soul.

And a warning to those who actually cared, I am cutting the football and cheerleader content. Mainly because I want to diversify and explore how the different cliques function. It's better to have the MC being an "outsider", you can still determine your reputation and place in the hierarchy of the school. But I am basing it off your choices in the flashback instead of just being the star quarterback.
Sorry for failing on my basic promise of wish fulfillment, I just want to isolate the MC a bit more than what was possible with the previous content.
I will be frank here, I planned to kill off John and Jessica for Angst, and character development. It was to highlight the player character's inability to save people, but I am in a good mood today.
So after going back and forth thinking about it, I will make it so that Jessica and John are ROs now, Yippe. But they still can die if you don't lock in to save them.
I do plan on making both of them homosexuals, so if you were a guy and wanted to date Jessica, too damn bad.
