customise your mc! from your appearance to your gender to your family relations and academic background!

chose which age bracket you fall into! are you graduating at 16 as a certified genius? did you have to retake the year, ending high school as a 19—year—old? or do you fall somewhere in between?

choose your familial background! will you create a fully customised family or with you go with one i've sprinkled in for flavor text?

+so far i have three planned backgrounds──american born and bred; afrikaans immigrants; and not—so—recently moved from canada! you are not restricted to these choices. they're just options that give you a bit of flavour text!

choose your feelings on travel! do you have an aversion of public transport? does flying give you the heebie-jeebies? do you have experience in cross-country or would you rather die than walk another step?

romance one (or more.. or none!) of eight love interests! are you romantically inclined? are you in touch with your feelings? could you be non-committal? do you fall hard and fast and with everyone? get attached to everyone or leave them all in deep waters.

+with an aroace route, eight solo routes ad three variants of poly routes you have a plethora of choice! poly routes include a triad (a/o), a vee (n/o) and a polycule (a/b/m/n)!

choose a special interest! are you into marine life? do you like history and historical artifacts? are you a bit of a polyglot? are you good at parkour?

find a hidden treasure! decide if you want to sell it for profit or simply split the money you'd get as a finders fee. or──do you take hush money and leave it to the gold hunters on your trail?

endure deadly and dangerous situations! or don't, not everyone knows their limits after all...

suffer through water based puns or bathe in water based metaphors!!

pictures aren't true representations of character visuals, none of them are mine──all found on pinterest.

Levi──your younger brother!

freshly turned 16, a bit of a tech nerd, got himself into two part time jobs and bought his own gaming PC, his gamer tag is Leviathan and you never let him forget it! he's not exactly shy, but compared to your sister he's definitely the quiet one. he floats on the surface of water, occasionally kicking out bursts of energy and easygoing wisdom that leaves your family stunned as he retreats back to his man cave of a bedroom──he may be the youngest but he's also the tallest, standing taller than even your father (and still growing). easygoing, smart, introverted, blunt.

Ellery──your older sister!

born on the day before your birthday, Ellery's the early twenties to your late teens. after taking her gap year times three she's ready to get into college and has been preparing for months now. she's a tiny ball of chaotic energy at the big age of 22 and has always, always, encouraged you to go with your gut.──easily the shortest of your family, you often joke she gave all her height to her siblings. energetic, creative, loyal, scattered.

Tanya──your mother!

working as a travel writer, Tanya has travelled pretty much all of her adult life! your 47 year old mother is somehow the perfect blend of your siblings—she's creative and energetic like Ellery while also being contemplative and thought provoking like Levi. she's committed and rooted as well as not compromising who she is to her core. Tanya has always wanted to support her family and was blessed to be able to do so without sacrificing her love of adventure... it's probably where you (may) get it from.──only just taller than Ellery she's still quite short. Supportive, busy, caring, semi-absent, accommodating, emotional.

Waylon──your father!

working as an art historian, Waylon hasn't had the most stable job in the world. when he landed his job at the high–end art museum you were 8 years old. he gives your life stability, finally finding a place to move to and stay there he became the backbone of your family. similarly to your mother he seems to be a combination of your siblings, he's calm and collected like Levi and always has your back like Ellery.──having only just been overtaken in height by your brother, he's easily one of the tallest in your family. stability, loyal, introverted, detail–oriented, secret keeper, logical.

Lillian──your niece!

a little ball of joy at only 6 years old. she's quite easily the most loved of the family, quite possibly due to the chubbiness of her cheeks or the dimples she shows off when she smiles. she absolutely adores you and always wants to hear your stories... you wonder if you'll ever make it back to tell her this one.

Maurice──your father's brother!

Lillian's single-parent father recently out of a divorce with his menace of a partner. He's had to pick up more jobs just to pay the bills and keep Lilli safe and cared for, especially when he refuses to take money from your parents. your family took it upon yourselves to step up and support him with Lillian, which really wasn't a chore to do. you just want to help.

Miss Patricia──your rival treasure hunter!

the real enemy on your treasure hunt. armed with a sharp and cutting smile and a shotgun Miss Patricia is not someone you ever want to come up against... except when you uncover a new piece of information she didn't have before you now you're a threat to her fortune.

Raphael&Tane──patricia's 'henchmen'!

big. burly. mean. scary. men... you could take them! or... outrun them? one is never far from the other so don't get cocky if you only come across one of them... you may just have fallen into their trap!

I'll do my best to give options regarding family closeness and reactions but for the most part it'll be set in stone that you come from a loving, if not chaotically busy, family with little strained relationships.

You can definitely decide how much you like or dislike Miss Patricia and The Guys™️
