Meet Kazuo Sakuragi!

Kazuo Sakuragi [RO] - The Loyal - Lycan

Age: 30 [ 6’2”(188cm)|Black hair |Black eyes ]

Note: I couldn’t edit it correctly but his hair should be chin length, and his face covered with some old scars.

Kazuo was once a happy and loyal member of his small village, where he lived with his wife and daughter. He was known for his kindness and generosity, always willing to lend a helping hand around the village.

One fateful night, a vicious lycan attacked Kazuo's village, killing his wife, daughter, and all the villagers. Kazuo fought valiantly, but in the end, he was bitten by the lycan and left for dead. As he lay there, crying and screaming in agony, he felt his body changing, turning him into a lycan like the one that killed his loved ones.

Filled with anger and sorrow, he tried to look for the lycan for revenge, but his new identity that he still couldn’t control scared him into remaining in the village for months.

One day, the protagonist was tasked with hunting a wild lycan in the area, and they stumbled upon Kazuo in his lycan form. Despite Kazuo's ferocity, the protagonist felt a deep sense of sadness and compassion for him. Seeing the pain in Kazuo's eyes, they helped him adapt to his new life as a lycan.

Kazuo became fiercely loyal and protective of the protagonist, admiring and respecting them for their bravery and skills. Filled with respect, he joined the ancient order of the warriors, fighting alongside the protagonist. He promised himself to someday find the lycan that destroyed his life and kill it with his own hands.

Physical Appearance:

In his human form, Kazuo has a powerful and imposing presence. He stands at 6'2" and has a muscular build that reflects his physical strength and endurance. His body and face are covered in scars, new and old, some of which are still healing.

Despite his rugged appearance, Kazuo's face is sharp and defined, and his expression is always stoic and serious. He has black eyes that seem to see right through you. His hair is jet black and chin-length, often disheveled, giving him a slightly wild look. His skin is warm beige with a hint of tan from training in the sun.

As a lycan, Kazuo's appearance changes drastically. He becomes larger and more muscular, with thick black fur covering his body. His eyes become a bright shade of yellow, and his teeth and claws become razor-sharp.

DEMO (TBA) — September 10th

Aurelian Academy, the pinnacle of evolution within the supernatural world; the first landmark to be erected after the Dark Ages— the time where supernatural races still lived within the shadows of the mortal world.

You’ve been prepared to go for your entire life— all one hundred years of it. Being the youngest child of a ruling vampire clan didn’t give you much choice in the matter. Going to Aurelian meant taking the next big step in your immortal life; finding your mate. While also honing your skills that will later help your people.

Will you be able to prove yourself to your parents? To your siblings? Will you be able to uncover the mysteries that surround the ancient school?

Or will everything vanish as the midnight sun approaches?

Create your character. Customize your name, potential nickname, gender, sexuality, appearance, hobbies, and powers. (Note: The MC is a Vampire and is 100 Years Old.)

Choose from 3 Classes that your character has honed— Charmer, Shadow-Kin, or Warrior.

How does your character feel about humans? Are they simply ants that you don’t bother with? Potential allies? An intriguing conundrum?

Do you enjoy the modern world? Or do you miss the simplicity of the past?

Romance 1 of 8 potential romances. (With possible additions of polymances later on.)

Explore Aurelian Academy and uncover the secrets that litter the ancient halls. Just make sure you don’t miss class while doing so.

Koda Kingston [He/Him] — Bear-Shifter — He’s a mass of muscle and warmth, eyes filled with good humor and overall joy. Might not have a lot going on upstairs, but he’s definitely got the spirit. [Male MCs Only]

Scarlett Voltaire [She/Her] — Vampire — Cold as ice, ruthless to any that oppose her, with a flair of heated contempt at the people who annoy her, Scarlett is the middle child to the oldest ruling family within the vampiric race. [Female MCs Only]

Cyrus/Cyra Aurelia [He/Him or She/Her] — Phoenix — Heir to the Eclipse Throne; they’re the eldest child of House Aurelia, Founders of Aurelian Academy. They’re the pinnacle of what an heir should be: dutiful, strong-willed, and loyal above all else.

Quinn Grant [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — An individual that’s been whispered about within the halls of your home; a prospected mate in the event that both your warring nations wish to unite. Now that you’re meeting them, you may be able to see if that’ll ever become a reality.

Caden Randall [He/Him or She/Her] — Phantom — Appearing on a random night five years before, they’re not exactly what someone comes to expect when thinking about a phantom: scared of their own shadow, fretful, and a complete neat freak. They’re tasked with ensuring your stay at Aurelian Academy goes smoothly.

Sloane Addams [He/Him or She/Her] — Wolf-Shifter — A wolf-shifter without a pack, disgraced in the deepest way possible, they don’t seem to be that overjoyed at the prospect of attending Aurelian Academy, but that doesn’t mean they’re not set on proving themself and finding a pack once more.

Blake Herrera [He/Him or She/Her] — Vampire-Hybrid — Your best friend (and potential FWB). With a flirtatious air, a rebellious spirit, and an affinity at finding trouble, they’re a vampire that takes a bit to get used to.

Reginald/Regina Presley [He/Him or She/Her] — Human — A scholarship student to Aurelian Academy; the first of many that may be attending. With a thirst for knowledge, along with a devil-may-care attitude, they’ll try their best to fit in. Of course, that’s easier said than done. As they’re the first human to ever be admitted as a student.

Hey there!

as some of you already noticed, the laidback/intimidating and independent/collaborative stats have been overhauled from the game. don't be alarmed; it was a decision on my part. i've decided to get rid of them because i didn't feel like they added much to the story in terms of flavour text and also, doing this gives me space to focus on enhancing the other stats.

as always, i truly truly hope you enjoy. a smaller update will be coming in the following weeks with tweaks to the relationships stats (and any other bugs found in this chapter). if you find any, feel free to report them in my ask box or email them to me at evertides@gmail.com. all my love <;33
