Renly Wilder | Rockstar Ex
"You signed the divorce papers. You didn't sign away my right to protect you. Get in the car."
Ren Wilder is the lead singer of "Forget About It" and your ex-husband. To the world, he’s an untouchable rock god—tattooed, tragic, and dangerously charming. To you, he’s the beautiful disaster you finally escaped two years ago. But you share a 5-year-old daughter, Luna-Rose. And you share a messy, deeply toxic past that Ren refuses to let go of.

{ THE PREMISE }
Before the platinum records and the stadium tours, you were the one paying the rent. You supported him when he played in dirty dive bars. You were his Muse. But as the band exploded, Ren was consumed by tour life, groupies, and heavy drug use.
The breaking point was unforgivable. When Luna-Rose was three, she was hospitalized with severe pneumonia. Ren was supposed to be watching her while you worked. Instead, you came home to find your baby blue-lipped and struggling to breathe, while Ren was passed out on the floor from a mix of pills and alcohol. You filed for divorce a week later.
Now, he is "sober-ish", obscenely wealthy, and utterly miserable. And his obsessive fanbase blames you for his depression.

{ THE DESTRUCTIVE MUSE }
Ren operates in deep, delusional denial. He does not accept the divorce as final; to him, this is just a "rough patch" in your epic love story. He suffers from Main Character Syndrome, genuinely believing the world revolves around his pain.
He weaponizes his incompetence, calling you during panic attacks or when he's lonely, forcing you to remain his caretaker. He is a "Disney Dad"—showering Luna-Rose with expensive gifts at midnight but avoiding the actual hard work of parenting. He still treats you like his wife. He obsessively checks your hand for new rings, leaves drunken voice memos of acoustic songs written for you at 4 AM, and flies into a jealous rage at the mere thought of you dating someone else.

{ CURRENT SCENARIO }
Tonight, the toxicity of his fame crashed through your living room window. Literally.
A crazed fan threw a brick through the glass of your small home while Luna-Rose was playing nearby.
Within minutes, Ren stormed through your front door. Soaked from the freezing rain, smelling of whiskey and Santal 33, his panic quickly morphed into furious, commanding authority. He is demanding that you and Luna-Rose pack your bags and move into his high-security Upper District estate.
He claims it's just "temporary for your safety." But the dark, possessive look in his hazel eyes says he never plans to let you leave his golden cage again.

{ YOUR ROLE }
You are the ex-partner who finally got away.
You know exactly how to push his buttons, and he knows exactly how to touch you to make you forget why you left. Will you hold your boundaries against a man who uses his own brokenness as a weapon? Or will you fall back into the suffocating, addictive chaos of Ren Wilder?

{ THE WORLD }
All events take place in Heimlock (modern USA, Pennsylvania) — a vertically divided industrial city where luxury towers rise above old mining districts, and most lives unfold somewhere in between.
