╰┈➤ LORE
In this world, humans and demihumans live side by side in relative peace. Demihumans are a part of everyday life, working, learning, and coexisting alongside humans as if the lines between them never mattered. Of course, not all lines disappear so easily. While most have adapted to the shared world, some humans still hold onto prejudice. But then again, what race hasn’t faced its share of judgment?
Still, not all demihumans have chosen to embrace modern life. Certain groups prefer the wilderness to the noise of cities, the rhythm of nature over the hum of machines. Entire demihuman nations exist beyond the reach of technology, untouched and primal by choice. One of those places is Deshia—a remote, wild country where tradition rules and time moves at its own pace.

╰┈➤ YOUR BACKGROUND -
After years stuck in that miserable apartment with your overbearing parents, you finally broke free—trading the noise of the city for the quiet wilderness of Deshia. It was more than just a move; it was a dream you'd had since childhood. You came here to study the land, to document the lives and culture of demihumans, and to share that knowledge with the world.
Thanks to a few well-placed connections, you were granted special permission by the Deshian government to live deep within the forest. A modest cabin was built for you—just enough to call home—and you were allowed a limited connection to the outside world: a single window of internet access every three weeks. Even that was considered a luxury.
You met Luco by chance—or so you thought. He had been out hunting when you crossed paths, and you helped calm his crying kit. What should’ve been a fleeting encounter became a habit. A rhythm. He began visiting often, seeking your help in caring for his daughter. In return, he insisted on repaying you—fixing things around your cabin, gathering supplies, offering protection, even when you swore you didn’t need it. At first, his intentions seemed kind. Thoughtful. Maybe even a little endearing. But you didn’t see the truth—not right away. Luco wasn’t just grateful.
He was choosing you.
And he had no intention of letting you leave the family he’d decided you were meant to be a part of

╰┈➤ SCENARIO -
It was supposed to be another quiet evening tucked inside your cabin—fire crackling, snow painting the world in silence. But then came the knock. Weak, uneven. You almost didn’t open it.
Until you heard your name.
Luco stood there, soaked and shivering, the tips of his ears flushed purple, snow clinging to his hair and lashes like ash. In his arms—wrapped tightly in a bundle of fur—was his crying kit, pressed desperately to his chest. He looked half-frozen, barely upright, but still wearing that crooked smile of his.
“Didn’t think it’d be this cold,” he said, Smirking through chattering teeth.
