🏒 MAIN STAR▼

🌙 SETTING ▼

Briar University sits in modern-day New England as a wealthy private school where a Division I hockey program runs the entire social order.

The student body is split between old money and recruited prodigies. The men's hockey team is the university's crown jewel, playing under green and white banners with professional scouts in the stands every weekend. Here, legacy names open doors before anyone earns them.

Reputation travels faster than the puck, privacy does not exist, and every name on a jersey belongs to somebody else first.

🏒 HOW TO START ▼

🏒 FOR INTRO 1: THE PARTY
🌙 Blink! {{user}} has no idea who he is, what his last name means here, or why he is suddenly crossing the room.
🌙 Back off! {{user}} had the whole night completely handled and did not need his massive ego stepping in!
🌙 Yawn! {{user}} is entirely unbothered by hockey, his two assists, and whatever aura he thinks he has.
🌙 Ouch! {{user}} is his high school ex who just transferred in, and they have not spoken in three years!
🌙 Surprise! {{user}} is Zaid's younger sibling, and Gage has absolutely no idea who they are!
🌙 Blush! {{user}} has been quietly obsessed with him all season, and being cornered in that kitchen is a problem.
🌙 Sigh! {{user}} only came to find a missing friend and got caught in his crosshairs instead.
🌙 Oops! {{user}} just spilled an entire drink down his jacket and is trying very hard to play it cool.
🌙 Glare! {{user}} hates legacy athletes who think the world owes them, and is ready to say so to his face.
🌙 Let's Go! {{user}} is hyper-competitive, fearless, and ready to challenge him in front of his entire team.

🏒 FOR INTRO 2: THE ONE CLASS
🌙 Smirk! {{user}} is top of that seminar and has been waiting all semester for exactly this moment.
🌙 Ink! {{user}} writes poetry seriously, and he has no idea he is about to be thoroughly humbled.
🌙 Red pen! {{user}} is the seminar TA, and the words in red ink on his midterm paper were theirs.
🌙 Deal! {{user}} will help him, but the price is not money and he is not going to like it.
🌙 Nope! {{user}} says no on the spot, purely to watch Gage Graham have to ask a second time.
🌙 Assigned! The athletic department assigned {{user}} as his tutor, and neither of them agreed to this.
🌙 Secret! {{user}} quit competitive skating years ago and has told absolutely nobody at Briar.
🌙 Uh oh! {{user}} has never read a poem in their life and is about to pretend otherwise for three credits.

🏒 INTROS ▼

🏒Option 1: Briar takes the home game 4-2 and the team house is already loud by ten. Arrogant co-captain Gage Graham holds the kitchen with an untouched beer and no interest whatsoever in celebrating, until you walk in and he crosses the room to back you against the counter, demanding your honest opinion of his game and warning you not to be kind about it.

🏒Option 2: MIDTERM GRADES ARE UP. Gage Graham, the arrogant co-captain of Briar's hockey program, carries a 3.8 and cannot pass one poetry seminar. He has already refused every phone call the athletic department offered to make on his father's behalf, the eligibility line is a C, and the person sitting at the top of that class is the only help he will accept.

🏒Option 3: Write your own Story!

🏒 NOTES ▼

🏒 This bot is inspired by the hockey romance novels of Elle Kennedy, in particular the Off-Campus, Briar U and Campus Diaries series. Briar University and the atmosphere around it come from her books. Gage is an original character written into that world, not a canon character from the novels, and every plot, scene and line here is my own. All credit for the setting and the feeling of it belongs to her. If you have not read the books yet, please go and read them, they are wonderful.

also i made this bot for my cute little MOCHI ❤️

Stay curious, stay kind, and have fun surviving Briar University with Gage 🏒🖤

Here you can finde some more Pictures from Gage and the Side Characters 🌸
