The Massacre At Fort Colombe

DEMO (TBA)

Have you ever had everything you thought you wanted? Everything you could ever dream of just within your grasp? Only to find out it was all built on quicksand?

You were the lead singer in the most popular band to grace the music industry in over a decade-- breaking records, amassing fame and fortune, and launching your career into a height you never believed possible. Everything was going great, better than you could ever hope to imagine, until it wasn't. Until everything started to fall apart. The dreams you had thought you wanted, the life you thought you'd be able to build, began to crumble around you.

So, you did the only thing you thought you could do, you ran. Left the band that you had created within a garage back in high school, and the people that had been with you through it all, behind. Never thought you'd go back, that you'd simply fade into obscurity, but the past has a way of catching up with you. Even after five years of being away, you'll always find your way back home.

Just like you find yourself back in the world you thought you'd left behind for the Legacy Tour-- an event that could right all of the wrongs you had caused.

Will you be able to save what's left of your career, your relationships, and your passion for music? Or will it all simply fade away once more?

Faded is rated 18+ for explicit language, sexual themes, drug/alcohol use, potential violence, morally questionable behavior, and more!

✯ THE ROs ✯

Hudson Lock ✯ He/Him, 26 ✯ A fan that still remembers when you had met years before; citing that you're the reason he has pursued his passion for photography. His passion, as well as his fervent drive to do better, is something to be commended-- especially when it's focused in the manner it seems to be during the Legacy Tour.

"You've been someone I've looked up to for so long, I hope that I can be someone you can rely on when it counts too."

Noah/Nora Fox ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 28 ✯ Your oldest friend and the person that had helped create the band with you-- the only person that had believed in you during the earlier days. The very same person that can barely look you in the eyes, and has shifted from a happy ray of sunshine to the classic partier that sleeps around. Will you be able to fix what's been broken?

Special Romance: Choose to have simply been best friends with them or have been in a relationship prior to you leaving.

"I hate how much I love you sometimes, I hate that it's still your face that I want to see first thing in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I fucking hate that you destroyed me, yet you still hold all the shattered pieces."

Angelina Thorne ✯ She/Her, 28 ✯ The woman that has taken over for you within the band. With an attitude as fiery as her hair, Angelina isn't one to back down from a challenge, especially if she feels threatened. It'll take a while to break down her walls, but she may just be worth the effort.

"I don't know what bugs me more. The fact that you're here or the fact that I can't fucking stand it when you're not."

Elijah/Elizabeth Knight ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 34 ✯ Your old manager hasn't changed in the slightest; barring that they're no longer married. You don't know how you feel about the news, nor do you wish to comprehend what it could potentially mean, but you do know that nothing would ever happen as long as they kept you at arm's length.

Special Romance: Choose to have had a crush on them, but nothing ever happened because they were married.

"You are, and will always be, my only exception."

Jaime Wild ✯ They/Them, 28 ✯ One of the few people you've let close to you within your new "normal" life. They're not the most talkative person, which you can appreciate, but they always make sure you know that they're listening, and they can brighten any room with a signature smile of theirs.

"You're still you. You'll never be anyone else to me. I don't care how famous you are."

Harry/Harley Sharpe ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 29 ✯ A security officer that's been placed to protect you, and the band as a whole, during the duration of the Legacy Tour. They seem to be overall a gentle individual, surprising given their career choice, but their drive to protect and serve creates quite an intimidating presence for anyone wishing to cause you harm. Will you be able to resist their gentle eyes and understanding nature?

"I don't know why this happened, or if it's smart that it's continuing to happen, but I can't stop. I don't know if I'd even want to if I could."

Will there be any flavor text for our MC appearance? Ofc i wouldn't expect every detail to come up- because that's a good amount of options we have lol. But the more prominent ones like Height, the more unique eye colors, scars, markings(ex: Freckles) and tattoos, or is the customization just all for fun; more than to actually play a part in any of the dialogue and or story?

Yeah, I actually always loved it when there are subtle differences in every scene. It makes things more fun and alive. As you said, I may not mention all of them, but expect to see a lot of that if it's relevant to the scene!

My pretty mc Ophelia in the story @unshackled-if

(I may or may not have done also the biggest red flag🚩maybe gonna post later if I like it enough)

Maybe you should also make the mc have a forced proximity with the RO's👀 you know...for amusement🤭

Well, well, well, anon... You just had to give me more ideas, didn't you?

NSFW asks: What are the ROs preferences in bed? And what are their kinks?

hohoho… 🤭

Aurelian: he’s mostly a top and leaning towards being a dom, but he would bottom depending on his partner. ;)

Kinks:

Marking/claiming [giving and receiving], body worship, praise [mostly receiving], overstimulation [giving], biting [both]

Elara: bottom and leaning towards sub but depending on her partner can be a demanding dom.

Kinks:

Praise [mostly giving], on a desk(😳), comfort [both], biting [receiving], teasing [both]

Kazuo: a total top and dom.

Kinks:

Biting/scratching [both], scent, marking/claiming [giving], against a wall/tree(🫣), clingy/comfort [giving]

Aiden/Ava: verse and can be a dom but mostly leaning towards sub.

Kinks:

Bondage(hands but not roughly), biting [mostly giving], praise [receiving], marking/ownership [giving], overstimulation and edging [both]

SC: verse and a total dom.

Kinks:

Teasing [giving], dirty talk [giving], biting/scratching [both], marking/claiming [mostly giving], begging [from partner]

tehee…

I'm sorry for your loss I hope they are resting peacefully and there's no need to apologize because dealing with all takes time and healing so take your time alright? Your physical and mental health are more important so don't apologize alright and I hope that your going to be fine through these hard times😞🙏

I appreciate your understanding and support it means a lot to me. Thank you so much for your comforting words.

What are the ROs love languages?

Aurelian:

1- Gifts: whether you're romancing Aurelian or just having a platonic relationship with him, he will gift you lots of presents that MC loves. For instance, if they were in the market and MC showed interest in something, the next day it might be outside your door. ;)

2- Words of affirmation: this boy will compliment MC every time they are alone, "Did I ever tell you that I love your eyes?" And then sneakily proceed to kiss MC's eyes. (sneaky snake)

3- Physical touch: the thing he loves most receiving from MC is hugs. It may sound simple, but in reality, it has a big impact on him for reasons that will be revealed in the next chapters. ;)

Elara:

1- Quality time: Elara loves and treasures every single moment she spends with MC, whether they are having a quick conversation or taking a walk together. She appreciates it when MC comes to her while she's studying something new that interests her, and MC just sits somewhere close, picking up a book or just relaxing.

2- Words of affirmation: this is sweet Elara we are talking about; she absolutely loves to give MC encouragement if they feel down or actively listen to them. (😩)

Kazuo:

1- Act of service: he is ferociously loyal and always tries to help MC in any way he can. He always looks out for MC when they go hunting or finishing a task. If MC was injured in a hunt, Kazuo would go out of his way to help them and stay beside them until they get better.

2- Quality time: Kazuo appreciates any moment with MC, especially when they're training together. He loves seeing MC in their fighting mood.

3- Physical touch: Kazuo won't be too pushy or clingy with his touch. He will just hold MC if they get stuck or injured. When he is in his lycan form, he loves to gently rub his cheek against MC's cheek when MC pats him behind his ears.

Aiden/Ava:

1- Physical touch: they absolutely adore any touch from MC, whether it's holding hands while walking or snuggling with MC. They will do anything for more kisses and cuddles from MC. (Their life motto is: kisses and cuddles any free time)

2- Words of affirmation: they will make you go crazy with how much they compliment and praise you for any simple thing you do. If someone accidentally bumps into MC and they help them up, A will praise MC until they die from embarrassment.

3- Gifts: when A comes back from a job they had (stealing, lol), you bet they will always come back with something extra just for MC. "A…where did you get that from?" You looked at them suspiciously.

"…" A averted their eyes from you, looking at the floor, the wall, the ceiling—anything but you. (🥺)

SC:

1- Physical touch: they will always, I mean always, find a way to tease and seduce you in any manner they can think of. Their brain is just full of two things (MC, bed). MC might need to scold them. 😔

2- Act of service: they always find a way to help MC, but is it for their satisfaction or something else? 👀

Good to hear! I'm also doing great! Got 39 hours in bg3 and we'll on my way to rizzing up Asterion!

that’s awesome! I've actually heard great things about bg3. Hopefully, someday I'll get the chance to try it out! 👀 Also, Astarion <3

ahhh I’m so glad I edited the main post. Now it looks much cleaner! :)

Chapter 1 progress

writing: about 30% (I have everything planned out on my notes, how it goes, how it ends, etc…I just need to write it all down ✍️)

coding: 10% too many variables and we are only on chapter one—

editing: 0% I’m already stressing about it…

although today was not a productive writing day, I'm happy to report that the prologue is mostly completed on Twine.

BUT my plan is to release the Twine version along with chapter one altogether.

I'm optimistic that tomorrow will be a better day for writing. :)
