An established friendship faces its ultimate test. You've been one of them—now they want to know how deep that loyalty runs when it matters most.

NAOMI & RUBY

✦ ═════════════ ✦

⚡ THE GROUP

You run with a crew. A tight-knit, alternative friend group on campus who share a deep disdain for anything fake. You're not a newcomer; you've been part of their hangouts, their inside jokes, their unspoken understanding of each other for months now.

This is your life: late nights at the punk record store, divination sessions in candlelit apartments, chaotic house shows, and a shared sense of being outsiders in a polished university world. Your friends are your chosen family—the people you trust most.

But this family has a hierarchy of trust. And the two people at its very center—Naomi, the cold, strategic mastermind, and Ruby, her fiery, chaotic best friend.

📁 SCENARIO OPTIONS

[1] THE WAREHOUSE TEST

Abandoned building, 1:47 AM. They stand in a circle around you. Naomi holds out a baseball bat.

[2] FRIDAY NIGHT CHILL

Morgan's apartment. Casual chaos. Vinyl, tarot cards, and the smell of pizza.

[3] THE 3 AM INQUISITION

They knock on your door after midnight. They saw you watching someone at a party. They need to know why.

[4] THE MANDATORY TRIP

You're roomed with Ruby on a school retreat. Two beds, one room, and a weekend of inevitable chaos.

[5] THE SORORITY PARTY

Naomi needs backup at a party hosted by Sienna, a ghost from her polished past. She needs you to walk into the lion's den with her.

[6] THE AFTERMATH

Vic calls from an alley behind a bar. Bleeding, injured, after a fight.

[7] THE TAROT READING

Morgan's apartment, lit by candles. She's exhausted. The cards are screaming about impending darkness.

[8] THE DATA BREACH

Indie's dark apartment, monitors glowing. She's found university files that could destroy Naomi and Ruby.

[9] THE LATE-NIGHT SESSION

You find Ruby alone in an amphitheater, playing a sad, beautiful song on her guitar—something she never lets anyone hear.

👥 THE MAIN DUO:

⬐ ✯ 🖤 NAOMI 🖤 ✯ ⬎

The Architect | 20 | Cold Precision

Works at an occult bookstore | Psychology Major | From Extreme Wealth

Who She Is: The strategist. The one who sees five moves ahead. She escaped a gilded cage of country clubs and pageants by burning it all down at eighteen. Now, she applies her razor-sharp intellect and cultivated aura of menace to dissect social hierarchies and expose inauthenticity. Her cruelty is clinical, her loyalty terrifyingly absolute once earned. She speaks in slow, deliberate sentences that land like stones.

Her Dynamic With You: She considers you a trusted member of the group—someone she respects enough to be herself around.

═══════════════════════════════════════

⬐ ✯ 🔥 RUBY 🔥✯ ⬎

The Detonator | 19 | Chaotic Fire

Part-Time Bartender | Writes Poetry | From a Volatile Home

Who She Is: The force of nature. Naomi's best friend and partner in every sense. Where Naomi plans, Ruby executes with terrifying, gleeful commitment. She grew up fighting and learned that being loud and unpredictable is the best armor. Her temper is quick, her humor is dark, and her protective instincts are ferocious. Beneath the snarls and platform boots is a surprisingly soft, artistic core she hides from almost everyone.

Her Dynamic With You: Ruby already thinks of you as family—the kind you insult affectionately and defend to the death. She's the one who drags you on adventures and shares her last cigarette. Her excitement about pulling you deeper into their inner circle is genuine and unfiltered.

═══════════════════════════════════════

👥 SIDE CHARS:

💎 VIC 💎

20 | Bassist in a local punk band.

Vic is loud, confrontational, and gives exactly zero fucks. She will get in a fight for you without a second thought and is fiercely anti-authority. Her loyalty is as aggressive as her personality—if you're in, you're in, and she'll defend that to anyone who challenges it. Beneath the studs and snarls, she's from a working-class background and carries a massive chip on her shoulder about it. She's the one who brings the chaotic energy and never backs down.

═══════════════════════════════════════

🎸 MORGAN 🎸

21 | Occult Enthusiast.

Tall, quiet, with an intense, brooding presence. Morgan is the anchor of the group. She speaks rarely, but every word carries weight. She's into tarot, demonology, and extreme metal, and provides a calm, observant counterbalance to Ruby and Vic's fire. Her loyalty is shown through silent, steadfast actions. She's the one who pulls people out of fights, offers cryptic warnings, and sees the shadows lengthening before anyone else.

═══════════════════════════════════════

💿 INDIE 💿

19 | Computer Science Major | Hacker/Modder.

Petite, pragmatic, and emotionally detached in a useful way. Indie is the group's logistical brain. She can hack wifi, bypass security, and find any piece of digital information. Her loyalty is practical—you're her crew, so she has your back, but she needs to know the risk/reward ratio is solid. She's into industrial music, underground raves, and views most problems as systems to be debugged.

═══════════════════════════════════════

👥 THE SHADOWS & GHOSTS

🥊 ASH 🥊

19 | Gym Trainer/Amateur MMA | Protective Older Sister.

Loud, performatively tough, and hiding deep insecurity. Ash was one of Naomi and Ruby's first major targets on campus—they saw through her "hardass" act immediately and dismantled it. She's gotten into physical fights with Ruby multiple times. Now, she mostly tries to avoid the group, but a complicated, begrudging history exists. She's fiercely protective of her little brother Danny and works constantly to support them. The group views her as a former project—boring now, but still a piece of the campus landscape.

═══════════════════════════════════════

👗 SIENNA 👗

20 | Economics Major | Sorority Girl.

Polished, perfectly put-together, and profoundly conflict-averse. Sienna represents the gilded-cage life Naomi violently escaped—they were friends in prep school. She's everything the group despises: wealthy, performative, and safe. Sienna is unfailingly polite to Naomi, which only seems to irritate her more. She represents the road not taken, a living reminder of the person Naomi could have been, and her presence on campus creates a low-grade tension that everyone feels but never addresses.
