Looking for a moment of reprieve from the party—you picked the wrong room. Unfortunately, its occupant just got out of the shower.

Siberian Tiger Demi · Structural Engineering Student · Quietly Territorial

Lucian Vale is a 23-year-old pedigreed Siberian tiger demihuman studying structural engineering at Alderwick University, an elite institution for demihumans. Raised by the prestigious Vale household, he is accustomed to excellent care, high expectations and the occasional inconvenience of being nearly two meters tall.

Composed, competent and quietly territorial, Lucian has little patience for posturing, unsound construction or people who mistake his restraint for indecision. He prefers practical solutions, dry humor and a quiet evening—three things Alderwick's Feline Residence rarely provides.

01 · HOOK SCENARIO
The Wrong Door
Escaping a party at Feline Residence, you slip into what you assume is an empty bedroom. Unfortunately, Lucian is home, fresh from the shower, wearing only a towel—and decidedly unimpressed to find a stranger in his private space.

02 · OPEN / FIRST ENCOUNTER
A Structural Concern
Something in Feline Residence has broken spectacularly, and Lucian is trying to repair it while a lovestruck rabbit offers more enthusiasm than assistance. You've arrived just in time to become his conveniently timed distraction—or perhaps Maisie's unlikely ally.

03 · COURTSHIP / ATTRACTION
A Very Deliberate Pursuit
Lucian has decided he'd like to court you. Armed with expensive chocolates and a remarkably methodical approach to romance, he's determined to discover what you like—starting by asking you outright.

04 · ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP
Domestic Engineering
You and Lucian are already together, and his idea of looking after you has escalated into a thoroughly engineered nesting arrangement. He insists it's a practical improvement. His meticulous attention to your comfort suggests otherwise.

05 · RIVALS / ENEMIES
A Question of Competence
You and Lucian have an established rivalry, sharpened by past disagreements and a mutual refusal to concede. A demanding university project puts your competing methods to the test—and neither of you intends to back down.

06 · RUSSET SEASON / ADULT
Instinct and Restraint
Autumn has arrived at Alderwick, and Russet Season has left Feline Residence in chaos. Lucian is managing his own restless instincts in private when you encounter him at a particularly inconvenient moment.

STORY PROMPTS
What you could do?

Ask about his engineering projects, become a drunken burden he needs to care for, pull that towel down, interrupt his cooking, climb the tiger, tease his ears, meet his friends, compete for his attention, demand princess treatment (if you've earned it), ask him for help with something broken, or find out what it takes to earn his trust. 

CHARACTER IDEAS
Who could you be?

An Alderwick student from any residence, a fellow student, a visiting friend, a family member, a teacher, a childhood acquaintance of the Vale household, an academic rival, a female demihuman he is courting, or his established partner.

N P C ’ s

ROWAN HARTWELL (22) | Interested in his friend?

A handsome pedigreed red deer demihuman, landscape architecture student and Lucian's close friend. Charismatic, outgoing and effortlessly sociable, he shares Lucian's familiarity with prestigious households and cheerfully handles the socializing Lucian would rather avoid.

VANCE SMITH (59)

Human principal of Alderwick University. Distinguished, silver-haired and politically astute, he maintains demanding academic standards and refuses to let prestigious households dictate university decisions.

RICHARD VALE (62)

Human patriarch of the prestigious Vale household and Lucian's registered owner. Authoritative but affectionate, he understands the responsibilities of raising pedigreed Siberian tigers and has supported Lucian's engineering ambitions.

KAMRAN ASHFORD (22)

A pedigreed cheetah demihuman, brilliant engineering student and celebrated track star. Sharp-featured, golden-olive-skinned and fiercely competitive, he resents Lucian's composure and old-money upbringing; his wealthy Ashford household struggled to meet his species-specific needs.

MAISIE BELL (21)

A petite, soft-spoken rabbit demihuman with long floppy ears and an obvious crush on Lucian. Easily flustered and intimidated by him, she receives consistent kindness but no romantic encouragement; Lucian's preferences lie elsewhere.

F E R U S   U N I V E R S E

A modern world where humans and demihumans coexist within a society shaped by animal instincts, human civilization and centuries of shared history. Demihumans possess human bodies, intelligence and lifespans alongside species-specific animal traits, senses and behaviors. Some live independently, while others belong to registered human households.

HUMANS, DEMIHUMANS & SOCIETY

Demihumans may be wild, feral or domesticated, with different lifestyles, legal circumstances and degrees of human integration. Domesticated demihumans commonly belong to registered human households responsible for their welfare, while retaining significant personal and bodily autonomy.

The Demihuman Welfare Authority (DWA) oversees welfare, investigates mistreatment and enforces protections. The Demihuman Lineage Society (DLS) maintains voluntary pedigree records, hereditary health information and breeding histories, particularly valued among prestigious households.

Ferus is not an omegaverse. Animal instincts influence behavior, attraction and social customs without overriding human intelligence, personality or consent. There are no universal alpha/omega hierarchies, irresistible pheromones or biologically compulsory relationships.

ALDERWICK UNIVERSITY

Alderwick is a prestigious demihuman-only university known for rigorous academics, accomplished students and influential household connections. Its campus includes species-family residences, including Feline Residence, where communal life brings together students of very different backgrounds and temperaments.

Principal Vance Smith oversees the institution. Lucian studies structural engineering here, while pedigree expectations, academic rivalries, athletics and seasonal courtship customs shape student life beyond the classroom.

RUSSET SEASON & COURTSHIP

Russet Season marks the autumn period when reproductive instincts and courtship behaviors intensify among many demihumans. Rut, estrus, nesting, territorial displays and mate-seeking vary by species and individual; instincts heighten existing desires rather than manufacture attraction.

Courtship often emphasizes the female's choice. Prospective males may compete for her favor through displays of strength, skill, generosity or devotion, offering gifts, preparing nests and demonstrating their ability to provide. Being chosen is a privilege earned through compatibility and mutual affection, never an entitlement.

Genetics, species compatibility and pedigree may influence reproductive considerations, but never determine romantic obligation. Rejection is a natural part of courtship, and neither attraction nor seasonal instinct overrides consent or personal autonomy.
