THE CHILD OF MISFORTUNE. There is something tragic about Victor/ia Alvarez— like an abandoned house that weeps for its former inhabitants. Something unusual, unburnt and unseen. You don't know whether it is the hardness in their gaze that has accumulated over the years that gave it away or the bitterness for everything in the tone of their voice everytime they speak.

Victor/ia Alvarez has only ever known one home— grief & rage. What are they without this rage that tethers them? No one and nothing to call their own apart from this grief. Victor/ia Alvarez holds onto their misery like a mother that cradles her dead child. They refuse to let her leave. It's theirs to own.

ROMANCING VICTOR/IA : They find your kindness revolting. It feels like nails prickling their insides, maggots feeding on their feeble skin. It makes their stomach churn, makes the hair at the back of their neck rise in alarm. Their chest feels too tight and by the lord, how it burns.

They despise it. Take it away. They don't want it. (They don't think they deserve it.)

Victor/ia Alvarez has been deprived of love so long that when it is finally being served to them in a sliver platter, they suddenly feel like they have forgotten the art of eating. Each bite overwhelms them to the bone and they can't stomach the taste of it.

Your name is like acid on their tongue. So terribly bitter. It's disgusting. Gut wrenching. Terrifying.

They don't know whether to swallow or spit it out.

What have you done?

PERSONALITY : They have an awful personality— that's what the tabloids say. While their methods may not always be appreciated, they at least get the job done. They are calm, reserved, composed. Their is little that can throw them off— Vic seems to have the solution for everything. Pulling strings is what they are good at. A control freak. They don't like letting go of the reigns. It makes them... antsy. Standoffish and closed off, they like to keep their circle small. Notorious in the industry for their... indulgences.

APPEARANCE : Albino. Pale complexion. Bright blue eyes. White hair, chopped just above their shoulders, almost always tied in a low ponytail with few strands of their hair framing their face. 5'7. Svelte frame. Wears cat eyes sunglasses. Signature look : a white shirt, underneath an emerald suit with a dark, oversized trench coat of a similar shade draped over their shoulders and matching high waisted pants. Wears a thick gold chain around their neck and multiple gold rings. Sometimes carries around a cane with its handle in the shape of a snake's head in gold because they think it looks 'classy'.

hello! what’s the ROs mbti type?

kai d'melio : ISTJ

shiron hill : ENTP

victor/ia alvarez : INTJ

alexis sinclair : ENFP

river fox : ISFP

arlo kent : INFP

[sipthegossip-if]

will we be able to be mainly oblivious to romantic advances but still further the romance route?

That's possible buuuuut only with Alexis. (And Arlo (somewhat)) They have a special romance route (which will be included in their character profile) "Idiots in love" where basically everyone but the mc and alex are aware of their feelings lol. Its a comical trope I have always loved in sitcoms aha.

other ros like Kai, river and vic would mistake mc's obliviousness for disinterest, so it wouldn't work out. Shay would find it cute in the beginning but get bored later.

[sipthegossip-if]

Hello 👋 I was wondering, will there be hobbies or skills that the MC can have in the story? Or were they always focused primarily on acting?

I didn't consider it in the beginning but it doesn't sound like a bad idea! I suppose, I will do a poll after releasing the prologue. If a good chunk of the audience feels interested then I'll make sure to offer the choice! Till then, if you have any suggestions feel free to send them in!

[sipthegossip-if]

Well, I hope that we can have MC who has no problem with a loud admitting if someone is their type 😉

Why, of course, i could never deprive you of the pleasure that comes from being shameless, nonnie.

Kai is combusting 24/7 for/because of the mc. I refuse to believe you can beat them, nonnie.

[sipthegossip-if]

I vaguely remember an anon asking for snippets of my current favourite scenes in the demo. Writing characters being pathetic is my favourite pastime. And dating rumours make me salivate.

Sandre Dyson is my mc btw lol and angie (she/he/they) is gender selectable.

what personality would vic be most into? 🤔

Vic is not into any kind of MC more than the other though their reaction differs based on how you choose to approach them. They are more apprehensive to romance bold MCs because of their own traumas and such. They are a control freak— a bold and dominant mc makes them feel out of their depth/element. They are more comfortable with shy and submissive mcs because they are easier to, well, exercise control over. Hell, even brats are fine to them. Just dominant people...scare them, I suppose? They don't want anyone to have power over them. So. If you want a easier romance then shy and submissive is the way. Vic is more rougher when it comes to sex and softer during romantic interactions. Sweet MCs also make it hard for them to dislike you. Bold MCs get to see a more vulnerable side of Vic but that also means they hate your guts for making them feel on edge lol. Almost like a tsundere, i guess? They are a trembling mess if you make them bottom you and get annoyed when flirted with lol.

[sipthegossip-if]

Why is Arlo so fascinated by MC? There are others stars, that Alexis for example

Obviously, it's because Arlo has superior taste. Only a person not in their right mind would pick someone else over the MC.

[sipthegossip-if]

How does Kai deal with charming MC who flirts with them all the time?

By having a panik attack.

“two faced little bitch” has me CACKLING 🤣🤣‼️‼️‼️

you won't be cackling like this when you finally realise why i wrote what I wrote (ominous)

With the way you describe Pre-Established Affair Route Shay it makes them seem like someone whose walked through a desert for several days and has finally stumbled upon a source of water (MC).

The need they have to just reach out and... touch. Taste. Devour. I was adamant about going the non-affair route, but I might have to try this one out based on your description alone.

Non affair shay is just straight up desperate lmfao. Constantly holding their breath whenever the mc is around, hyper aware of everything happening all of a sudden, overthinking every little interaction, can't even compliment the mc like they used to anymore because they are sure they'll say something that sounds awfully like a confession. Has long given up to be even annoyed at that fact anymore lol.

"TO THE MOON AND BACK."

... Is this about astronauts? 😁 🚀🌖

Ahh! No, so sorry to disappoint! Ahaha. I am not smart enough for science fiction. </3

To the moon and back is just a phrase often used to express the extent of someone's love and affection for another. It implies that their love is immense and boundless, essentially saying that the distance between the Earth and the moon (and back) represents the amount of love and care Person A has for Person B.

Since mc has signed up for an angsty romance drama, I thought it fit! :)
