oh my god everything is ending up longer than i thought it would be. i really didn't have a good sense of scale for this thing oTL

any way here as some of my favorite little snippets from whats been put in so far, have at it

[wraithbound-if]

im in love with this if- SPECIFICALLY m! would you wanna share some m fun facts?

YES time to talk about my babygirl <3 (low key they are my favorite, but i do love all of them)

Morgan was actually the first RO planned and was originally going to be the only one! They were also the only that was planned to be gender selectable at first, the others I kinda decided last minute to make them all that way.

The big scar on their face they actually got when they first met you. It was on a hunt that went sideways and you saved their ass.

They were smitten with you the moment you saved them on said job.

They have a habit of talking to their horse. Just about anything. Mostly while they're brushing or feeding it. They've started doing it a lot more since you disappeared.

Becoming a magus-hunter was kinda an accident for them. They were young and needed money quick so they just went up and took a random bounty. It turned out to be some sort of spirit, but they managed to kill it by dumb luck. It just kept going from there.

How would the ro’s react to a flustered mc asking them to cuddle with them

this one will be fun :-)

The two of you had both been out all day. In fact the past couple days have been like that, running around busy with whatever it is you needed to do. You hadn't really gotten a chance to just relax with each other and it was getting to you.

When you both had finally get a chance to be together, that's when you would strike! Except, you couldn't help but feel your face get warm and your stomach do flips when you ask if you can cuddle.

E

If you're flustered, E is flustered too. They just can't help it, even with such an innocent request like that. But they absolutely say yes, they love being around you as much as time allows.

Once the two of you get comfortable, they'll just sit with you so content. It doesn't matter if they're holding or being held by you, they're gonna sit there with a dumb smile on their face and rosy cheeks for the rest of the night. The two of you probably just end up falling asleep where ever you are.

Sloan

Sloan will immediately take you in their arms with a grin that's a bit too wide to be entirely innocent. Get ready to be poked and prodded about why you face is so red and about how you can always ask anything of them.

If you make it clear you just want to cuddle, than that's that. If you fall asleep, Sloan will bring you to bed and then probably keep working on stuff for the night. Otherwise, their hands are gonna start wandering some. What can they say, they like touching you especially when it can make you so red.

A

Is a bit surprised, but not upset about it. They just are a bit oblivious to feelings sometimes. Once you ask, the two of you go and find a comfy spot. Also doesn't understand why you're so flustered about it but thinks it's cute.

The cuddle session WILL turn into a yap sesh too. A likes to talk to people they trust just about anything so if you want them to be quiet you will have to tell them cause they will NOT shut the fuck up on their own.

L

Immediately assumes you're trying to be coy and ask for other activities with how flustered you are. They are very surprised when you tell them that you do in fact just mean cuddling.

This bitch does NOT know how to cuddle. Just... holding you? Being held? What do you mean, why? It takes a little convincing, but they eventually will give in. It will fluster them some internally, they aren't used to this kind of soft intimacy.

Morgan

The moment you mention the word 'cuddle', you are wrapped up in their arms. Their eagerness doesn't help with how flustered you are and you think it might be a little on purpose.

They are a massive cuddle-bug. If you want to get up at any point for any reason, try to convince you to stay. You two are sleeping RIGHT there, no moving for either of you allowed.

[wraithbound-if]

piggybacking a little on a prev ask, would any of the ROs be into wearing/borrowing MCs clothes too?

Most of the ROs would probably be into wearing something of the MCs. The only issue might be whether or not any of your clothes fit them cause some of them are taller lol

The only one that either wouldn't or would be extremely picky about it would be L. They are dressed up all of the time so unless your clothes match that? It's an automatic out. And even if you do, it would have to be further on in your relationship to the point where they are comfortable being in a genuine relationship since they haven't been in one before.

[wraithbound-if]

I do wonder how Morgan would react to MC telling them they remember being attacked and thrown off a cliff before waking up in the forest and wandering around for a little bit before they where found

and telling them their heart aches everysingle time they look at them but don't know why before reaching out caressing Morgans face like they used to do but they dont remember and dont know why they did that.

however Morgan reacts, they're definitely aren't going to be happy about it no matter what. hearing that you're though to be dead spouse got thrown off a cliff isn't exactly fun especially cause they do still care about you

also whaaat, there wont be something like this in the story. not at all

[wraithbound-if]

would you consider yourself an intelligent and sensitive pervert?

i've been saving this in my inbox for months because i don't feel like i have the words to match this. it's a shameful breach of my humility to answer yes, yes i do consider myself an intelligent and sensitive pervert. i love how you worded that. this is like a therapist's screening question.

[wraithbound-if]

This is a Tumbler Classic, but the Ro's reaction to Mc having a hickey on their neck but to only find out that it was a mosquito bite later on?

ooo truly a classic

E

At first glance, E would probably assume that it was something like a bug bite. They are a doctor after all.

But if they don't get a good look at it, their mind would start to wander and they would start to think of the worst. Theres a lot of things that could cause bruises and a lot of things they don't want to ever think you'd do, but they just can't help it.

They would just end up stewing silently for probably hours before actually talking to you about it. When you confirm it's just a bug bite, they visibly relax to the point you notice. If you ask about it, they're gonna get super embarrassed but will tell you they were just worried for no reason about what it actually was. They know you wouldn't do that but they just couldn't help it.

Sloan

They like to bite so they would probably think it's one of theirs at first. When they realize it's not? You're getting your own personal stalker for a day.

They're just suspicious of others by nature, so they would assume the worst of it even though they really hope that isn't the case. If you spot them at all during the day, they would act like nothing is wrong even if you start to notice them popping up where ever you are.

Eventually when they don't spot you with anyone they will just straight out ask you who gave you that hickey. When you tell them a bug did you're just given an 'Oh' in response. They don't really know how to apologize well so they're just gonna do what they do best, give you some hickeys of their own.

A

The moment A notices it, they're asking about it. They're not gonna mess around with a bunch of dramatics, they're gonna be direct. Sorry to the folks that want the drama you're the real ones 😔

When they find out its just a bug bite, they'd offer to got get you something for it. The idea of it being a hickey would probably cross their mind, but they wouldn't get the chance to stew on the idea.

L

Now if you want drama, this is the bitch. They see it an they are livid. Doesn't give you time to explain or anything, they are on you and interrogating you.

Who are they? When did this happen? What did they give you that I can't? Etc. They do NOT give you a chance to respond, talking and yelling at you until they exhaust themself with it. When you finally get a chance to clarify that it's a bug bite? They straight up just leave. You don't see them for at least a day. They are experiencing jealousy, regret, and embarrassment to degrees they have never felt before and they do not want anyone else to see it.

Morgan

They would be hyper aware of it at all times. To the point they're acting weird and you notice it. Any time you talk to them they are just going to be looking between your eyes and your neck. They just look sad too. If they weren't giving you want you need, they would want you to talk to them and not go to someone else.

Fully is just waiting for you to tell them about you 'be honest' with them. If you ask them why they're acting weird, they'd come out with it. After asking you why you're cheating on them and being told that it isn't a hickey but a bug bite, they feel terrible. They would want to make it up to you any way they can for assuming the worst.

[wraithbound-if]

lol im getting a big yes so far. I'll start working on getting that implemented. it might not be in the next update, but it will get in eventually 👍

Got an ask about this recently so I figured I'd see if folks were interested so I can add it sooner rather than later 👍

[wraithbound-if]

This IF has taken up brainspace...

Brainrot possibly in progress.

That's all.. ❤️

yessss its working. soon itll spread to everyone

[wraithbound-if]

Got an ask about this recently so I figured I'd see if folks were interested so I can add it sooner rather than later 👍

[wraithbound-if]

With Morgan, will they tell us what eye color or hair us to be if we choose the different one?

I was also wondering if we would be able to choose what type of clothing style we wear?

Also, I just imagine our hair is a nightmare, so I can just imagine Mc asking one of the Ros to cut or trim the hair, lol

It depends. If you are friendly or trying to romance Morgan, yes. Otherwise you'll find out through other means, but no matter what you'll be able to figure out what your eye and/or hair color was originally.

At the moment, I don't plan on adding customization for the clothing. Though if it's something that people are interested in I could definitely look into implementing it!

If your hair is long you might need help wrangling it again lol. Dirt and other stuff don't make for good hair treatments apparently

[wraithbound-if]

What tattoo would each ro get? Also, would they get matching one with mc?

E - Would probably get something small that has a lot of meaning to them, like a date or something like that.

S - If they could, they would be covered in tattoos. Mostly floral designs or other things involving nature. Maybe even some things for their magic.

A - Probably something like those abstract line-work tattoos. Something like this. They would like how much it flows with their body.

L - Sorry but they would probably never get a tattoo of their own volition. They would think it messes with their image too much to ever get one.

M - The MCs name LOL. They would be the kinda person to just show up with your name tattooed on them acting like its the best thing in the world while you potentially freak out about it. Other than that? They would get something related to animals, like a design with a dog or a rabbit.

Who would get a matching tattoo: E, S, M

Who wouldn't: L and A

[wraithbound-if]

So how would the Ros react to seeing a short Mc wearing their clothes (shirt)?

I just imagine my short Mc swimming in them lol

E

E is the smallest RO so you would be drowning in fabric the least with them. If you're the shortest you can be though, they still probably have a solid 6 inches on you at least tho.

If they see you wearing one of their shirts, they would start getting all sappy about it. Just full of goofy smiles. They would be constantly hugging you and leaning on you. Would definitely ask you if you just wanted some of their clothes to wear.

Sloan

Sloan is the tallest out of everyone so you basically wearing a dress lol.

It they see you wearing one of their shirts? It's like a neuron has activated. In a relationship, Sloan has a tendency to be kinda possessive and seeing you in their clothes just does something to them that they've never thought about before. It'll drive them kinda crazy in a good way. Expect to find more of their clothes just appearing in your wardrobe.

A

A finds it really endearing but would not say that out loud. They like seeing you wearing their stuff but it feels almost embarrassing to them to say it. They would constantly try to find excuses to get you to wear something of theirs, like "Are you cold? Here take my coat." kinda stuff.

Specifically when you're short? Loves how much the shirt or whatever accentuates your size difference. It makes them learn something new about themself lol.

L

L is a bit of a funky one. The first time they see you wearing something of theirs, they do NOT understand what they're feeling. Like Sloan, they're possessive but don't have the best time recognizing what or why. It would take them a while to figure it out and when they do? They're straight up just giving you pieces of their clothes like a shirt or jacket and telling you to put them on. There is no choice.

Morgan

If Morgan sees you wearing something of theirs like a shirt or something? You're not going anywhere. They are just going to be holding you for as long as they can get away with. It's cuddling time.

Another one here who is pretty into any size difference between the two of you. They just love how you're completely wrapped up in something of theirs.

[wraithbound-if]

hi!! just read the update; i had fun making a short, feral MC first hopping out of a window like a madperson and then choosing fight in every possible situation (although poor Ed getting elbowed(?) in the stomach and then nearly strangled lol). Sloan might hate my MC’s guts right now, but hey, they’ll come around 😏 also ooh Morgan seems to have been so sweet; i can’t wait to face their wrath the very next time we get to see them again <33

i’m invested now, i need to find out what happened!! (and make my MC even more of a feral beast) thank you for sharing your story with us!

you can definitely make them come around, pretty quick too with something that will be coming up. Sloan is absolutely gonna hold it over your head if you attacked Ed tho lol.

Morgan is just my sweet babygirl <3 theyre going to be so much fun to write for and i cant wait for yall to see it.

i cant wait to hear about your little beast running around town

[wraithbound-if]

I'm not sure how to word these questions in a neat way, so it may seem like I'm rambling a bit before I get to the point. But I think it's important to make sure I'm as clear as possible rather than as brief as possible. So, the MC doesn't remember much of anything about themselves. Amnesia as well as trauma can definitely have an effect on one's personality. But we're making choices about our *current* personality. So my first question is, does that necessarily mean that's how we were before, or could it be completely different? And to add onto that, will there be any choices about how we used to be, if it differs? But one person who does remember how we were is Morgan. And Morgan, apparently, fell in love with who we *were*. I actually have multiple questions related to that. Of course, depending why Morgan fell in love with us, they may or may not have cared particularly much about our personality, but perhaps they would notice a difference if there is one. If our personality didn't change much, is that going to affect Morgan's perception of us? In other words, maybe they'll still see a bit of us behind the "monster"? If it changed a lot, is that contributing to why Morgan sees us as a monster? What if the changes to our personality are such that we're actually *less* monstrous than we used to be? And really, what does that say about Morgan, if we used to be a bad person, no longer are, and *now* Morgan sees us as a monster? Of course, most of these questions don't matter much if we won't ever see how the MC used to be and/or the MC's current personality is the same as their past personality.

my friend, you are asking all the right questions right now. this might be a bit of a long one on my end too so bear with me.

So my first question is, does that necessarily mean that's how we were before, or could it be completely different?

No, it does not mean that is how you were before you lost your memory. Your MC can be completely different from how they were.

And to add onto that, will there be any choices about how we used to be, if it differs?

There are already choices in the game on how you used to be! In the dream/memory with Morgan that was was just added, all of the choices set stats for who you were not your current personality stats. The only ones that don't are the last two choices in that portion about your fight with the omen. Those ones effect your MC's skill stats (like combat, charisma, etc) and do roll over to your MC in the present.

I plan on having 3 scenes similar to the one currently in the game, before Morgan is introduced in the present day of the story. This is so that the MC's personality from who they were is solidified and the player is given enough time to fully decide how their MC behaved in the past.

All of the stats will be viable in the stats page, which will be fully implemented in the next release. So you'll fully be able to see what you are effecting.

If our personality didn't change much, is that going to affect Morgan's perception of us? In other words, maybe they'll still see a bit of us behind the "monster"?

Yes! If all of your stats both past and present are close enough together, they will still see the you behind the monster that they knew. It's gonna be very hard for them to interact with you, since they still see the person they fell in love with.

If it changed a lot, is that contributing to why Morgan sees us as a monster?

Also yes. The world that Wraithbound takes place in, supernatural things exist if that wasn't already clear lol. There are things in this world that are shapeshifters or can steal/puppet someones body. If your personality has changed a lot, their assumption is that something like that has simply either taken your form or body to use.

What if the changes to our personality are such that we're actually less monstrous than we used to be? And really, what does that say about Morgan, if we used to be a bad person, no longer are, and now Morgan sees us as a monster?

This is going to be addressed in the story :-) With Morgan and an MC who was a horrible person in the past, you will get to see the conflict between them. You will get to see the past MC spiral over something and then from there, if you want to do some terrible things you can.

But the past MC was not always bad. If they were a cruel, rotten bastard at the end, they had already changed some to a person Morgan didn't entirely recognize.

However, that doesn't change the fact they loved you. The heart wants what it wants, and theirs wants you in spite of any terrible things you did to others or maybe even them.

Morgan sees you as a monster now simply for one reason, they firmly believe that for the last 3 years you've been dead. Again, why will be explained in the story. So suddenly seeing you turn up again leads them to believe something stole your face or body. They want to finally be able to put you to rest after being unable to for so long.

Thanks for the ask!

[wraithbound-if]

How would the ROs react to MC accidentally walking in on them while they’re changing?

E

They are easy to fluster on a good day. If you walk in on them changing? They turn as red as a tomato and can barely get a word out. They'd frantically try to cover themself up and struggle to get a "Do you need something" out.

And if you're staring at them or tease them? They're gone and maybe a little turned on. They have left this plane of existence and moved onto the next.

Sloan

Frankly, they wouldn't think much of it. They're pretty shameless so they'd be pretty unaffected.

If you're affected though 👀 If you do anything other than treat them like they are fully dressed, they are on you. If you're flustered, are looking at them, anything? They are going to torment you. And if you two are together, you aren't leaving that room for a bit.

A

They would try their best to keep composed, but would have a very hard time. Being caught so exposed puts them on edge, but at the same time they can't help but enjoy your eyes on them like this. They are hyper aware of where you're looking, especially if it is at them.

They're just a bit of an exhibitionist. If you stay too long, you might start to realize they're turning red out of something other than embarrassment. What you do with that information is up to you.

L

They first thought is shock, just from how they didn't hear you before you walked in on them. Like A, they do not like being so exposed like this when the other person with them is not.

If you aren't together? You're kicked out, immediately. No questions asked. If you are? Well, you'll deserve some punishment for being so rude. You can't go walking in on people and expect nothing to happen.

Morgan

They freeze. They tend to do that a lot around you. They simply don't know what to do most of the time. Especially now, they don't want you to take your eyes off them. They still love you and want you, they want you to want them too.

If you move to leave, they might stop you if they didn't think it would make you uncomfortable. And if they do stop you? You'll get a quiet, almost shy, "You can look if you want."

[wraithbound-if]

Finished the demo and it was so good. I feel so bad for what happened to us. Also will people figure out that we aren't "normal" Also that dream we had of Morgan. Makes me wonder what happened to us and how it will be whenever we run into them again.

Kind of wanna romance them first because I feel like that's going to be a lot of pain and angsty on that route. But I do feel sorry for them because they probably thought we been dead.

My question is where we like dead for those 3 years?

whether or not people figure out you aren't "normal" will depend on your choices. if things keep happening out in the open, word will get around and it may just reach people you don't really want it to se be careful :-) morgans route will in fact have plenty of angst to go around, which you can make better or worse depending on some decisions you make.

and where you were for those 3 years will be found out in the story. it'll be a couple of chapters in so it will be a sec till you find out but it will be there!
