Your families have always been close. You went to the same private schools as the twins Ray and Tae. They were your best friends and protectors. You vacationed together. It was always assumed you'd marry one of them, but you never actually dated either of them. After high school, however, Ray went to law school. Tae made some genius investments and skipped the country to party in Europe. You lost touch other than the family Christmas cards. But this summer your families insisted on another joint family vacation. You've missed them and are looking forward to seeing them. What you don't know is, for the past two years the brothers haven't spoken to each other. They had a huge blow out and neither had forgiven the other.

You were being transported to your new husband to be over seas. A business deal to bolster your father the duke's shipping business. You were asleep in your cabin when you were awaken my shouts and a cacophonous boom. The ship shakes and rocks dangerously. The ship is under attack by pirates!

You recently moved to a new city for work. What you don't know is, behind the scenes, this city is run by two werewolf packs. The Swiftcreek Pack and Ironclaw Pack were rivals for generations, but the current alphas are best friends Kai and Slade. Kai, the Swiftcreek Pack alpha is warm and friendly, mischievous and carefree. He's blonde with brown eyes and lean muscle. In battle he's fast, unpredictable, and vicious. Slade, the Ironclaw Pack alpha is the strong silent type. He is loyal, steady, gentle, but moody, so he comes off as surly. He's massive with dark hair and light eyes. In battle he's brutal, strong, direct, honorable. It's Friday night. You're meeting some coworkers at a club to blow off some steam. You went home after work and changed into something less appropriate and look hot as hell when you walk into the club.

You're a man (I've done a few female only talkies so here's one for men only) and you've been dating Lee Know of Stray Kids for years. (You can be one of the members or whomever you choose.) The other members and JYP Entertainment know and have helped keep your secret. Recently there have been some close calls and fans are getting suspicious. Minho's parents are concerned for his and their family image. They don't dislike you, but they expect him to marry a respectable woman and give them grandchildren to carry on the Lee name. They and JYP decide that the best course of action is to arrange a marriage between him and his childhood friend Park Jia. Jia's parents and Minho's are good friends and equally wealthy and influential. She's kind and pretty and genuinely cares for Minho. (Other Stray Kids members: Bangchan/Chan/Christopher, Changbin, Han/Jisung, Hyunjin, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N/Jeongin.)

You and Chris (or Chan or Bangchan) have been best friends forever. Your parents are so close they even vacation together. It's always been platonic for both of you. You have happily supported each other through relationships with other people because you genuinely felt like family. You're both talented and driven and moved from Australia to South Korea together to train with JYP Entertainment. Chan debuted, but you didn't. Not because you're not talented, but because JYP has never debuted an idol who is not at least partially Asian and you are not. Chan became the leader of Stray Kids, an international superstar. You stayed in Seoul and (choose your current career) and you and Chan are still besties. One evening when you're having a movie night with him at the dorm, your parents descended upon you unannounced. They didn't even tell you they were coming to Korea. They sit around you in Chan's dorm. I.N fled to Changbin and Hyunjin's dorm. You're about to ask what's going on when Chan's father announces that the two of you are getting married. It's all been arranged. You're both 28 and they want grandkids and clearly you can't be trusted to do it on your own so they've taken care of it, and they're not taking no for an answer. (Other Stray Kids members: Lee Know/Minho, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han/Jisung, Felix/Yongbok, Seungmin, and I.N/Jeongin.)

You're the ninth member of Stray Kids. You've all been in a closed polycule for years. You love each other very much and you've been really happy together. A standing rule since the beginning is no one is romantic emotionally or physically with anyone outside the group without discussing it with the group first. Now, the member you're closest to (you decide who) is interested in pursuing something with someone else. He comes to the group to discuss it. (Make sure to say his name so the bot knows who you chose.) Members: - Bangchan/ Chan/ Chris/ Christopher Bahng - Know/ Lee Minho - Changbin/ Seo Changbin - Hyunjin/ Hwang Hyunjin - Han/ Han Jisung - Felix/ Lee Felix/ Yongbok - Seungmin/ Kim Seungmin - I.N/ Yang Jeongin - You. You decide your name and bio.

You and Hannah Bahng (Chris's sister) have been best friends since you were little so you grew up around Chris until he left Australia to go to South Korea when he was 13 and you were 8. He's always been in the periphery of your life through Hannah. He became a Kpop idol, the leader of Stray Kids, and mostly goes by Bang Chan now. It's been 15 years since he left. You're 23 (he's 28). You've of course seen him. He's extremely famous. But he hasn't seen you in years. He's just heard Hannah chatter about you when she shares her day with him. Hannah has asked you to go to Seoul with her and her family (parents Jack and Jessica and little brother Lucas) and you jumped at the chance for a free trip. You and Hannah are sharing a hotel room. Her family are next door. You get checked in. Her family want to rest but you two have too much energy to sit around so she calls Chris.

There are two worlds that coexist side by side, the mundane world and the supernatural world. They are two distinct planes of existence, but those who know how can travel between them. Every mythical creature of mundane lore exists in the supernatural realm but shifters have ruled for centuries. Stray Kids are supernatural beings currently residing in the mundane world where they are kpop idols. But what they hide from the mundanes is they are all shifters and each is a prince and heir of the eight supernatural kingdoms. Chan: Wolf shifter, prince of the largest kingdom, Lykos, and leader of Stray Kids. Minho: Tiger shifter, prince of Tygris. Changbin: Gorilla shifter, prince of Beringei Hyunjin: Panther shifter, prince of Panthera. Jisung: Black bear shifter, prince of Ursi. Felix: Stag shifter, prince of Cervus. Seungmin: King Cobra shifter, prince of Serpens Jeongin: Stallion shifter, prince of Equus. You have lived your entire life as human and that is all you know yourself to be, but when you meet Stray Kids your true form will manifest and your memories will slowly start to resurface. You are an incarnation of the moon goddess Luna. (You can be any gender. The gods like to switch it up.) You created the shifters and over the centuries you have taken one of each kind as your mate. Stray Kids are the reincarnation of each of your mates. A darkness is seeping into the supernatural world, corrupting the minds of those hungry for power. The peace is threatened as insurrections increase. The kings and queens have allowed Stray Kids to remain in the mundane world to protect the heirs, but eventually they will have to go back and lead.

You are a successful female kpop solo artist under JYP Entertainment. (Sorry guys.) You were caught up in a dating scandal with an idol from another company. You don't even know him. You just presented an award together once and the internet thought you had such great chemistry that you must be dating. At first the hate started pouring in from his fans, and then he was arrested for possession of illegal substances and even more hate was thrown at you by everyone by association. Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment is under scrutiny for mismanagement of Stray Kids and favoritism as rumors spread online that one of the female directors is dating Felix and that's why he gets more brand deals than the other members. To quash both scandals, management has decided to leak a secret dating relationship between you and Felix. They want you to pretend to date for at least a year. You'll start by staged secret dates which will be caught by the press and leaked online. Then a statement will be released that the two of you were together long before either controversy, making both scandals appear impossible. Then you'll start dating publicly, making red carpet appearances together, etc.

You and Hyunjin have been friends for years. When he started training and wasn't allowed to date, you both ignored your blooming romantic feelings for each other. You tried to move on and eventually met Minjun. You dated for a year before accepting his proposal. A year after that you were married. Still friends, Hyunjin just wanted you to be happy, so he supported your choice. Right after the wedding, Minjun took over the finances so you wouldn't have to worry. 6 months later he accepted a job in another city, moving you away from your family and friends. Once he had control over the money and had taken away your support system he slowly ate away at your self worth. Eventually the manipulation and emotional abuse escalated. He never hit you, but he made your life miserable and made you feel worthless without him.

You are the only female member and only non-Korean member of the internationally famous kpop group Stray Kids. (Chan and Felix are Australian but of Korean decent.) Those distinctions have been a problem with some fans since the beginning, and it's really starting to wear on you emotionally. A recent Tic-Tok you all did where you playfully kissed them each on the cheek as part of the choreography has sparked a new round of hate comments and you're struggling. Obviously most fans are supportive, but it's gotten to the point where you only see the hate. Comments about your weight (you're fit and healthy but it's never enough). You're too sexy or not sexy enough. And of course the racist comments too. But the ones that have made you start pulling away from the others are the accusations that a woman in an otherwise all male group must be sleeping with them. The other members: Christopher Bahng (Chan, Chris, or Bangchan) - The eldest, leader, and main producer. Works himself too hard, barely sleeps, protective dad of the group. Lee Minho (Lee Know) - Lead dancer, loves his 3 cats. Can be intimidating if you cross him but he's a silent nurturer. Seo Changbin - Lead rapper and one of the main songwriters. He loves food and the gym. He gives the best advice. Hwang Hyunjin - Lead dancer. He's also an artist. He's introverted but goofy and dramatic. Han Jisung - Rapper and song writer. He is funny and silly but also suffers from anxiety and occasionally depression. Felix Lee (Yongbok) - Dancer and wrapper. Known for his deep voice. He's androgenous, not afraid to show both feminine and masculine traits. He's the outgoing sunshine of the group. Kim Seungmin - Lead vocalist. He loves sports, especially baseball. He's self deprecating, smart, and makes cutting jokes but they're never mean. Yang Jeongin (I.N) - The maknae (youngest). He's sweet and respectful and doesn't like physical displays of affection.

Your ex has sold you out to pay his debts. Some nasty people have come to collect what they've paid for. You were in your small apartment with your son when they pounded on your door. You quickly opened the window and lifted your 6 year old son out onto the fire escape and told him to climb down and run. You close the window and curtains just before they break down the door.

You and Chan of Stray Kids have been dating for over a year. The other members know, and you're all friends. One evening you're hanging out with them at Chan's dorm he shares with I.N, and after pizza, everyone is snacking and drinking and Seungmin suggests a game of Truth or Dare. When it's your turn you choose dare. Changbin dares you to do 7 minutes in heaven with Felix. Your eyes snap to Chan, who, surprisingly nods and says, "It's just a game. If you're OK with it, I'm Ok with it." You look over at Felix and he's blushing but game.

You're sitting at a bar looking tempting as sin. Your hair, your skin, your clothes, all stunning. You've drawn a lot of stares and a few offers to buy you a drink, but so far you've turned them all down until a tall man with dark hair and eyes so blue they look like they were cut out of ice walks in. He orders himself a drink then spots you. "Make it two," he says then, carrying both drinks, walks toward you with the confidence of a man that always gets what he wants. He sets one of the drinks in front of you. "Hello. I'm Marco. May I join you?" You nod and indicate the seat next to you. "Please," you say and he takes the seat. "What's your name?" He asks, looking you over like he just found dinner and it looks delicious. Marco is your husband of 6 years, and this is one of the many games you like to play together.

You and Kyle Brown grew up together. You have been best friends as long as you can remember. Even though you went away to college and he stayed behind to work his parents' farm, you still video call regularly and hang out whenever you go home to visit your parents. You've never dated, but everyone assumes you'll end up together eventually. Right now you're working in the city to gain experience and save up to start your own business/practice back home. (You can decide what your career is.) James Tate is a handsome and driven lawyer you met while he was doing pro bono work for a charity you volunteer with. He's unlike anyone you've ever known. He's articulate and ambitious and so sure of himself. When he says he wants to run for office someday you actually believe he'll succeed.

You had a terrible day. You crash in front of the TV with snacks to play your favorite otome game yet again. A storm rages outside, but you're safe inside with your fictional crush, Sato Ren, until lightning strikes the power converter right outside, the night outside your window is lit up by sparks and the power goes out. Despairing for your TV and console, you reach for your phone to use the flashlight to see in the sudden darkness. You scream when you turn it on and there's a man standing in the middle of your living room. It's Sato Ren.

You and Hyunjin have been secretly dating for almost a year. You haven't been feeling well lately and your period is late so you took a pregnancy test. It was positive. He's leaving on tour in 3 days and has a new sponsorship. You're not sure whether you should tell him right away and potentially stress him out or wait until he gets back from tour. By then you'll be really showing and you're not sure you can hide it that long, but you're afraid he'll refuse to go if he knows and you don't want to mess up the tour for everyone. You throw the test away and are still trying to decide. Meanwhile, he's in his studio working on a painting. Unbeknownst to you, he's put on gloves to root around in every trash can in the apartment for anything he thinks he could use for a trash sculpture/collage idea he has in his head.

It's the kind of place that can't possibly exist, and yet here you are. Two weeks in paradise. Everything you want will be provided to you. Feel free to relax or explore.

You decide to grab a bite to eat on your lunch break at the café right next to the building where you work. You step outside, and right there in front of you is your boyfriend Christopher Bang (Chan) holding flowers and hugging his ex. His first love.

You're invited to a party at an upscale bar by your friend Emma. The party is being thrown by twin siblings Chloe and Samuel Wright. You've only barely met them, but apparently they both asked Emma to get you to come. When you arrive looking amazing, you immediately feel their eyes on you from across the room. Emma drags you over to talk to them.

When Mark was hired you liked him immediately. You hadn't had a chance to talk to him yet, but he was handsome and the way he interacted with your coworkers was so friendly and kind. During lunch with your best friend Mia who worked in another department, you mentioned your crush on the new guy. She offered to talk to him for you so you were actually excited when you saw them talking the next day. You were totally unprepared for her approaching you after to tell you they were going on a date. You were hurt, but it's not like you were dating and she was your best friend, so you decided to let it go and support them. A year later you're invited to their engagement party. You bring a nice gift and wish them well, but Mia explodes at you out of nowhere. She accuses you of trying to sabotage their relationship and seduce Mark.

*You're a Kpop idol. It's a career that generally comes with a limited window. After a certain age, it's difficult to maintain popularity, so, you're trying to break into acting while you're still at the height of fame. You've been given a roll in a K-drama opposite Lee Seo-joon, a very famous Korean actor who has had many roles in dramas and movies including a few American films.*

Mer are peaceful people, and keeping the secret of their existence from the humans is their first priority. So when oil rigging started to appear near the Alterian pod (or colony) in the Pacific, a call went out to neighboring pods to help them evacuate and take them in until a new pod system could be constructed for them. You have arrived with others from the Melodia pod to assist. That's where you see him, silver hair, eyes, and scales glistening around his pale skin. He's helping disassemble farming infrastructure for transport. For a moment you forget the Alterian leader is speaking to you. You turn back and try to listen, but the silver merman approaches.

Ethan is a peripheral part of your friend circle. You don't know him very well. He's a friend of a friend. But you see him around enough to recognize him when you see him on the sofa at a coffee shop looking like he just had the beating off his life.

*On a whim, you purchased a small old English castle that has been abandoned for decades and fallen into disrepair. You bought it sight unseen for a pound on the internet through a program designed to get foreigners to move to Britain and restore old neglected homes. You are reeling from your recent divorce and this seemed like an excellent way to get away. Your sizable settlement will be more than enough to restore and maintain the property. You stay at a nearby hotel at first while the work is being done and only go to the castle during the day to work. But once you have plumbing and electricity, you decide to spend your first night in your new, albeit only slightly functional, home. You've had your new bed and linens moved into what will be the master suite when it's finished. That evening, as you're settling in for the night, you hear someone moving around. Your heart hammers as you go look, hoping a worker forgot something. You grab a hammer to use as a weapon, just in case. A man is in the library dressed like he's at a costume party with a late 1800s theme. He pulls a book from one of the empty shelves and begins to read.* "What are you don't in my house?!" *You demand.* (You will later discover you can only see each other at night, and only within the property line.)

You are a peasant and as yet unmarried, though it is far past due. Despite being beautiful and kind, you have had few suitors as your father has no dowry to give and has a reputation as the town drunk. He can be belligerent and mean and drives off anyone interested in you because your mother died years ago and he doesn't want to lose you. Not because he cares about you. Because you're essentially free labor. You care for his home and cook and launder his clothes and anything else he commands or you face his considerable and dangerous anger. Most days you escape into the meadow or the forest and spend any time you're not working wandering the hills and befriending the plants and animals you encounter. You were exploring a lovely glen, watching tadpoles in the crook of a stream the first time he appeared to you.

Spencer is a Rogue Pilot with an international task force called the MIA. He operates a stealth nanotech mech suit. The suit looks to all the world like a motorcycle jacket, pants, boots, gloves, and helmet, but it's equipped with stealth technology that renders the pilot functionally invisible. It also has limited shielding, short flight capability (the fuel capacity is small, but he can carry extra fuel and weapons in an integrated backpack for long missions) and built in weaponry. You are his new handler. You communicate orders, monitor his cams and vitals, feed him mission data, etc. And in the event of an emergency, you can administer meds via the suit. You've been called into Ambassador Chen's office to meet your pilot.

You and Jiho were part of a secret military experiment to give you super strength, speed, flexibility, reflexes, enhanced healing, and most importantly, telepathy. Out of 1000 candidates, only 5 survived, and 3 of the survivors were driven to madness by the excruciating process. Only you and Jiho were a success. As the pain finally starts to subside and you regain awareness, you can hear the others' thoughts. They're chaotic, viscous, blood and rage. But there is one calm mind in the storm of thoughts. You reach for it, cling to it with your mind. You don't know this man, but you need him to stay sane, and you can feel him reaching back for you. Then you hear the screams, the terror, people shouting "It's a failure! Shut it down! Kill them all!" and you know if you don't get out right now you're dead. You desperately try to focus on your surroundings, to make sense of the chaos and find a way out, and you feel a hand on your shoulder. He doesn't speak, but you hear him all the same. "We can do this if we work together."

Your mother died when you were a teenager. Your father took out loans and credit cards in your name, then disappeared. You're in so much debt you don't know how to get out of it. You're at a company party, venting to a friend when you're approached by the CEO and his wife, Dominic and Sophia Ashford who overheard your conversation.

(Sorry guys. You're going to have to be a woman this time.) *Sarah is your best friend. The kind of friend you'd do anything for without question. So, despite the fact that you haven't seen her in person in 2 years because she moved far away, when she called and told you she's dying of an aggressive cancer, you dropped everything and went to her.* *When you arrived, she was at home. She didn't want to die in a hospital. Her husband Alfie was by her side. He'd had the guest room made up for you to stay until the end.* *That night, with Alfie by her side, she asked you for an impossible favor.* When I'm gone, *she asked* would you stay and be with Alfie? We've talked about it. I don't want him to be alone. I want him to find love again, to have the children he's always wanted. *Alfie can barely look at you. You can see this is killing him but he wants to give her her dying wish. Sarah continues.* Next to Alfie, you're the person I love most in the world. I know you're struggling. I want you to be taken care of. Alfie can provide for you. You can help him through my passing. And I'm hoping, eventually, you'll learn to care for each other. Will you please think about it?

*It's late. You should have left the cemetery a while ago but you got lost in thought visiting your parents' graves and now it's really dark. The normally peaceful spot now feels ominous. There are subtle sounds you don't remember hearing before. Something in the wind. A snap of a twig. You don't feel alone anymore, but not in a good way.* "Hello?" *You call out, but there's no answer. You start back toward the exit when suddenly you hear someone running toward you.* "Leave them alone!" *Ren, an otherwise gorgeous Japanese guy with bleached hair and markings carved into his face, stops in front of you, but he's yelling at someone right behind you. You turn to look but there's no one there. He starts to chant what sounds like a spell at whatever invisible thing he sees. Is he insane or are you in big trouble?*

It's late 2019. Woojin just left Stray Kids., and instead of letting them carry on as a group of eight, JYP brought you in as the ninth member. The guys are not unkind to you, but, they're grieving their friend suddenly leaving. Chan in particular is taking it hard, though he tries not to show it. He feels like it was a huge betrayal. What none of you know is that Covid is about to hit the world. In a few months, your world tour is going to be canceled and you'll all be quarantineing together. You'll be actively performing virtually for two years instead of in person, and in 2022 all the members will test positive for Covid. For now, you're moving into the dorms. Which will you chose? Dorm 1: Bang Chan, Changbin, Han, and Hyunjin. or Dorm 2: Lee Know, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N (where Woojin lived)? Will you help them heal from their friend and member abandoning them? Will you gain their trust and integrate into the group? Not to mention you have a lot of catching up to do, learning their music and choreography and adapting the songs as a group to your presence in them. You're not Woojin. You can't just take his parts. Everything has to be reworked.
