i am. wildly intrigued by sidestep from ur posting but i have NO idea who this. guy ? media? is. what’s up with it (if youre so inclined)

sidestep is the main character/protagonist/playable character of the interactive fiction game fallen hero rebirth and its sequel fallen hero retribution (and there will be two more sequels/books eventually)

there is So Much up with sidestep and most of it cannot be gotten into without entering spoiler territory. i can say that they ran away from an abusive home and became a hero in Los Angeles Diablos and then DIED and was brought back home - it has been 7 years since they've died and they've escaped their home again and are back in Los diablos but this time as a villain rather than a hero

sidestep is Los diablos' most eligible bachelor despite being a rat bastard and insufferable douchebag. they have So Much trauma and 10 000 issues, all of which i can't talk about bc Spoilers

omg i nearly forgot the biggest thing and this is not spoilers. they are a telepath, they can read people's minds and this power has only gotten stronger since their death. they are completely unable to read the thoughts of their (former ?) partner/friend/ally however
