RO Facts

No theme here. Just some things about people.

Bernhard was very heavy as a boy, but skating so much helped him build muscle. His parents were proud but ensured he knew their love for him was unconditional.

Dallas ties his shoes really tightly. It's a habit because of how tightly he ties his skates.

V has a pet dander allergy and an Axolotl named Mephistopheles.

A is restless and it can be hard for them to relax. They like to sleep with a weighted blanket.

Your mother was a siren, your father a human. Disconnected from the supernatural world, you grew up in sunny California with your parents teaching you how to juggle your secrets and the truth. Then, at thirteen, your mother died.

In Deeper Tides is a Disenchanted spin-off interactive fiction story that takes place on the sunny coast of California (and the oceans that surround it).

In the aftermath of losing your mother, your father encourages you to reconnect with the family she left behind. At 24, you finally take to the ocean, only to receive a chilly greeting in response.

As you struggle to get closer with your mother’s family and heritage, you get swept up in the aftermath of a whirlwind assassination plot. The leaders of your family’s pod are dead, and you’re stuck in the middle of an ages old rivalry that could tear the sea apart.

• Create your character. Customize gender (full customization, including trans MCs), pronouns, and appearance.

• Story based over stat based.

• Romance any of the seven romance options (details below, profiles coming soon).

• Decide how you cope with your family and pod, and choose which side (or none) in a centuries old rivalry.

Rune Flores, he/him or she/her, a siren. The heir of your family’s pod, whose parents were just assassinated.

Llyr/Llyra Silvia, he/him or she/her, a siren. The young leader of the pod rivaling your family’s, incriminated in the plot to kill Rune’s parents.

Talya Silvia, she/her, a siren. The younger Silvia sibling, and by far the most dangerous of the two. She’ll protect her family at all costs.

Malak ‘Mal’ Faris, they/them, a siren. An elite guard tasked with protecting Rune in the aftermath of unrest following the assassination.

Aster Solis, he/him, a siren. The spy of the Silvia family accused of the murders and set for execution.

Yan Liang, he/him or she/her, a human. A marine biology major working down by the docks. They’ve seen more than they should’ve, and the consequences might be dire.

Haakon, he/him, an unknown. A creature from the depths of the ocean that wants to save others because he couldn’t save his family.

Body Language Descriptions

-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.

Anxiety/Nervousness

She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, her fingers tugging nervously at the fabric as she struggled to find the right words.

They bit their lower lip.

He looked away, unable to meet her gaze, a clear indication of his guilt.

She absentmindedly rubbed her neck.

He chewed his nails, a nervous habit that he couldn't seem to quit.

They rubbed their hands together nervously.

He tightened his jaw.

She felt beads of sweat forming on her brow, betraying her calm facade as her heart raced.

Frustration/Impatience

Their fists clenched at their sides.

He tapped his fingers rhythmically against the table, a clear sign of impatience as he waited for her to finish.

He rolled his eyes, the gesture full of exasperation as he dismissed her words.

She let out a heavy sigh, the sound heavy with resignation as she faced the inevitable.

He threw his hands up in defeat.

Curiosity

He leaned forward in his chair, eager to hear more, his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

She raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical as she questioned his intentions.

She tilted her head slightly.

He watched intently, his eyes wide with wonder as he took in every detail of her story.

Confidence/Assertiveness

He stood tall with his shoulders back, projecting confidence even in the face of uncertainty.

They sat on the edge of their seat.

She gestured wildly, her hands moving animatedly as she tried to express her excitement.

He stood with his hands on his hips, exuding an air of authority and control over the situation.

They held their chin up high, projecting self-assurance even in the face of adversity.

Defensiveness/Resignation

He crossed his arms over his chest, a defensive posture that spoke volumes about his discomfort.

He braced himself against the wall, a protective stance.

She folded her hands in her lap, a sign of restraint as she fought the urge to speak.

They shrank back slightly, their shoulders hunching as if trying to make themselves smaller in the face of criticism.

He held his breath momentarily, steeling himself for the inevitable conflict he sensed was coming.

She covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by the situation as she tried to block out the world.

Thoughtfulness/Concentration

She furrowed her brow in concentration, her mind clearly racing as she tried to solve the problem at hand.

She nodded slowly, processing the information, her expression thoughtful and contemplative.

He stared blankly into space, lost in thought as he processed what had just been revealed.

He drummed his fingers on the table, the rhythmic sound a sign of his deep contemplation.

She tapped her foot lightly, her mind racing.

Eagerness/Excitement

He paced back and forth, his restless energy manifesting in the constant movement as he considered his options.

She bent forward, her elbows resting on her knees, a sign of intimacy and engagement in the conversation.

She swayed slightly from side to side, a subconscious display of her nervous energy as she waited for the verdict.

He bounced on his toes, his excitement palpable.

She jumped up and down, a spontaneous display of her joy that couldn’t be contained.

ANGST and them being sexy lol and maybe some cute tropes

I literally can't wait for little MC to see Arthur again. So excited to find out what the conversations will be when little MC gets home~

With what has just happened to the MC and the trauma that they endured, I was wondering if they are going to have the option to be kind of wary or fearful of Orcs going forward and in the future? I was thinking of Corden(we haven't met yet, but I am looking forward to him), and how MC would interact with him if they had this fear. I was imagining the MC that rubs/scratches at their scar as a form of anxious stimming, as if trying to rub away the scar/trauma that occurred. I was thinking of how it's going to be for an MC that is wary/fearful of him at first and then ends up healing a little and falling for him. It's sweet and has a little bit of angst in my mind.

If an MC does that when they're around Corden or other Orcs does he put two and two together? Or would he when he eventually sees MCs scar?

Oh you read my mind of course MC is going to be traumatized by everything that happened with Uilan.

And of course that will have an impact on their relationship with Corden.

as for the scar, as I said before, I think you'll be able to hide it or not, whether it stays as it is or is hidden behind a tattoo, for that matter.

since it's personal I want to let MC decide if they want to discuss what happened when they were 7 with their future ro.

and that includes Arthur, who may be there once you get home. MC doesn't have to tell him what happened in the renegade camp.

Are you okay with NSFW asks? Do you have any rules about it?

From scouring other IF blogs, I should've expected that this would be asked eventually lmfao

I've thought about it for a bit, and while I'm not opposed to NSFW asks generally, there are some areas where I'm at a bit of a loss (very kinky kinks, and other stuff similar?). Personally, I don't know what to make of those kinds of asks, and I don't know where I draw the line exactly.

Typically, soft NSFW asks should be alright, as those are the main ones I've seen be asked and I'm fine with. Just know that I'm probably less inclined to answer if the ask is too intense for me, but there's no judgement if you ask it anyway. Since nothing is set in stone, I will let you know if something is beyond what I want/am comfortable with!
