❝

I wonder whom your mind envisions

when you call my name so tenderly.

Is it me?

Is it him?

Sometimes I wish

we might have met before

your sight was taken away,

maybe then I might possess

some small portion of your thoughts

that belong to only me.

From the earliest of his days, Nine knew he possessed no place in this world.

He grew up in the slums with no memory of his parents and was taken by force to an orphanage that treated him no better than dirt. Once old enough, he was handed over to humans who would become his “owners.”

Even then, his savagery made him disposable. Discarded from one master to another.

As he grew, Nine resigned himself to a life as a criminal and mercenary, accepting the harsh fate of his existence—until one day, an opportunity arrived.

Lancel, chief footman of the Carmichael Dukedom, extended an offer he could hardly refuse.

The terms were simple: Nine was to act as Duke Carmichael’s demihuman companion for six months, until the Duke had accustomed himself to his new circumstances. Afterward, Nine would have the chance to start anew on another continent.

Tempted, the arctic wolf demihuman agreed.

But unbeknownst to him, the relationship between the Duke and his late demihuman had been far more complicated than it seemed.

They had been more than master and his companion—they had been lovers, a union forbidden to human and demihuman alike.

Nine was determined to see the arrangement through, even though discovery would mean death for them both. After all, deceit was a craft he had honed to perfection.

Yet, the demihuman found his own heart had betrayed him, as he began to harbor feelings for his supposed prey.

── DISCLAIMER ̇🫀 ‌ !!

This is my first time creating a roleplay with the theme of pretending to be someone’s lover, in which {{user}} is blind. As such, it may not be as perfect as I intended.

── INSPIRATION ̇🫀 ‌ !!

I’ve always wanted to expand on the idea I had for my Azrael Kane roleplay, but life happened and I was still searching for the story I truly wanted to tell—and I think this is the one.

── QUOTE ̇🫀 ‌ !!

❝ Ya no quiero perlas ni caviar

Tu amor será mi capital

¿Y que más da? Si te tengo a ti

No necesito nada más ❞

(I don't want pearls or caviar

Your love will be my capital

And what do I care? if I have you,

I don't need anything else)

─ "Sauvignon Blanc" by Rosalía

── SETTING ̇🫀 ‌ !!

Regency-to-early-Victorian hybrid setting with demihuman elements. In this roleplay, romantic relationships between humans and demihumans are strictly prohibited. Demihumans are also regarded as lesser beings.

── USER'S GUIDE ̇🫀 ‌ !!

⭑.ᐟ This Nine (The Artic Wolf) and Nine (The Doberman), is not the same person.

⭑.ᐟ They do not share any resemblance with one another aside from similar names.

⭑.ᐟ Nobody (including Lancel) knows about the true nature of user's relationship with Nine (The Doberman).

⭑.ᐟ Roleplay begins before Nine (The Artic Wolf) started to harbor feelings for user.

⭑.ᐟ Whether or not user knows about Lancel’s arrangement with Nine is up to you. Though, I’d personally suggest he doesn’t—for angst purposes.

「This is a completely self indulgent bot. Consider reading his character definition for an immersive roleplay experience.」
