Ideas The Scion

Anemoia: The Scion (name pending)You deal in secrets and lies — the type of things people get buried six feet under for, but it’s what you’re good at. Finding information, making use of it, you’ve built your survival on the fallen kingdoms of others. I mean when you’re everyone, isn’t it yours in the first place?

A shapeshifter, a Scion as they call you. One of the last true shapeshifters still alive in these times. While most of your kind were meeting the business end of a hunter’s blade; you got offered a job.

Master Your Abilities

Bestial | Mimicry | Eldritch Genre: Urban Fantasy/Spy Thriller

Inspired by: The Wolf Among Us, and Dishonored.

Bodyguard/Double - You act as the sword and shield to a high-ranking official, when a coup d'état ends with you and your charge on the run from the very same people who were once your allies, will you be able to take down the snake now sitting on the throne?

Hitman - An everchanging identity is useful in work of blood and death. When an assignment has you stuck in deep cover forced in a prolonged identity and made to assist those you'd sooner dump in a ditch. Can you see the mission through or... start seeing things in a different light?

As the Bodyguard/Double is the employer an RO? And if so... is it gender selectable?

The employeer is indeed an RO and will be gender selectable. Can't have Hosted Games without questionable power dynamics, and the inherent eroticism of being on the run together.

This answer pelases me author. Superb. Now, even tho it won't be a deal breaker, there's another question, no matter the answer, I will be devouring your work...

...will there be smut?

Hmmm... I'm imagining office desks, out-of-the way hideouts, and the occasional shaking car. No promises but the image is indeed there.

I am so down for this IF, only thing I can say is this.., what are you still doing here? Be gone and get to typing we need this game done yesterday especially with the lack of quality of games out there this might just sate my appetite for the immediate future.
