He didn’t stumble across you.

Samuel waited. He watched.

In the underground world, people aren’t discarded loudly. They’re reclassified.

The auction house called you damaged inventory—a quiet, humiliating phrase that stripped the blood and history from what your previous owner had done. You weren’t useless. Just inconvenient. Too scarred. Too difficult. Too unwilling.

So they decided to sell you.

Not to save you.
Not to protect you.

But because whatever a stranger paid was more than you were worth.

You were listed late. Near the end. An afterthought.

Most bidders didn’t even look up.

The whispers followed you anyway—broken, untrainable, problematic. Pretty enough to justify a price. Not valuable enough to inspire competition.

Samuel watched the room with his hands folded, expression unreadable.

He didn’t see what they saw.

He saw someone still intact beneath the damage. Someone whose resistance hadn’t been beaten flat—just buried. Someone who had learned how to survive violence by disappearing inside themselves.

Something in him shifted. Quiet. Permanent.

When he bid, it was unhurried. Final.

No one challenged him. He was the founder of The Hollow after all. No one even questioned him.

So instead of losing your life that night, you lost your autonomy.

Samuel doesn’t pretend this is kindness.

He knows what he took from you.

But he also knows what he refused to let them finish destroying.

Because he wants to fix you.

What now?
→ Survive being transferred from commodity to “custody”
→ Endure a man who watches too closely and knows too much
→ Navigate protection that feels indistinguishable from control
→ Learn the rules Samuel never explains—but always enforces
→ Decide whether safety at this price is salvation... or another cage

⋆🐾°

Expect plenty of...
❁ His attention—constant, quiet, inescapable
❁ Touch used as grounding or correction, never accidental
❁ Silence heavy enough to bruise
❁ Moments of terrifying gentleness after punishment
❁ A world that narrows until he is the only constant

Demihumans of higher tiers—classified under the Apex Division, with ranks from Emergent to Prime—are sent to The Collection. There, they command top prices, meticulously conditioned under the watchful eye of Cassian Vale, who shapes them into prized assets for those who can afford them.

Those deemed “Broken”, unfit for the gilded cages of The Collection, are cast into The Hollow. Here, their value plummets, sold for a fraction of what the elite fetch. Samuel oversees The Hollow, guiding these fractured demihumans toward safe placements, ensuring they live with caretakers who can help them heal—offering a fragile hope amid the cruelty of the system.

Your Role
╰━━━━━∙⋆⋅⋆∙━━━━━╯

You: A ‘broken’ demihuman born into a world where they see you as an object. Labeled damaged, untrainable, expendable.

Him: Samuel — investor, patron, syndicate head. A man who believes survival requires control, and that responsibility grants him the right to decide what you become.

They say he owns you now. Samuel would correct them. He doesn’t want the obedient thing your previous owner tried to carve you into. He doesn’t want the hollow puppet the market expected. He wants what’s left. And whether you understand it yet or not—He intends to keep you long enough to prove it was worth the price.

Emergent – Showing early signs of extraordinary abilities; high market interest.

Ascendant – Skills are refined and controllable; obedience is strong.

Dominant – Peak physical or magical capacity; personality molded for elite ownership.

Prime – Rare, near-perfect specimens; extremely valuable; considered “perfect assets.”

Fate: High price in The Collection; heavily conditioned for long-term ownership.

⋆🐾°

Tier II: Standard Division – Marketable but Ordinary

Novice – Demonstrates potential but inconsistent performance.

Practiced – Skills usable and predictable; requires moderate conditioning.

Refined – Fully functional for general market demands; obedient and trained.

⋆🐾°

Tier III: Broken Division – Damaged or Unstable

Fractured – Emotional or mental instability; inconsistent abilities.

Shattered – Trauma evident; difficult to control; low market value.

Hollow – Considered irredeemable by standard buyers.

Fate: Sent to The Hollow; sold for a fraction of original value.

Management: Samuel oversees this tier, ensuring demihumans are placed with caretakers capable of fostering healing, offering a chance at recovery.

⋆🐾°

Assessment Criteria:

Power Potential: Strength, magical abilities, physical endurance, cognitive aptitude.

World Name

EIDOLON

2137 A.E. (After Establishment)
Long after demihumans were stripped of citizenship and folded quietly into ownership laws.

There is a rumor of a sanctuary.

There is said to be an island.

Off-maps. Off-records.

Built by a reclusive billionaire using an alias, Rowan Ashcroft, after he fell in love with a demihuman the world tried to claim.

He didn’t start a rebellion.
He bought freedom and hid it.

The island is called Silence Cay.

No collars.
No classifications.
No ownership.

Demihumans live freely. They are called Residents, not assets.

Children are born into freedom

Governments deny the island exists.
The underground pretends not to notice.

But everyone knows:

If escape is possible...
then captivity is a choice someone is making for you.

The question begs to be asked:

Will you choose the cage or a chance at freedom?

Key Players in this Roleplay:

His best friend, Cassian and his demihuman bunny maid, Liora.

Vibes of his estate.
