An alien with sketchy morals wants her boyfriend to love her.
A human boy schemes to get his parents back from death.
A mutant tries to figure out where her heart lies with her childhood friend.
An illusionist struggles with his motivations behind becoming a hero.
Four stories. Four people. A chance to understand them all.
GAMEPLAY.
There's no central plot that connects the four of them together-- rather, this is a peering into the worlds of two couples. Players choose one of four characters, each with their own unique route and perspective of their relationships with their significant other. With their choices, they can choose to build a relationship or utterly destroy it with all the implied consequences.
Set in a world where humans with superhuman abilities are called Naturals and their constant battle for the Earth against the invading alien species, the Naians.
CAST.
Kitten Pink. The daughter of King Khaos, an alien dictator set on conquering the earth, Kitten doesn't quite endorse her father's war mongering, but... as the product of Naian society, she doesn't find a problem with it either. In the eyes of her people, if Earth successfully defeats them, then it is clear they deserve to keep their lands. Otherwise....
Despite being prone to violence and having no qualms about destroying human livelihoods, she enjoys her time on the earth because of its natural beauty and fauna. Favorite color: Pink. As the successor of the Naian Empire, she acts with impunity and deliberately ignores human conventions to get her way.
“Everything you do is cute. Especially the way you say I can’t threaten your boss or your friends or your customers. I guess I find it kind of charming in your little human way.”
James Zhang. Victim of 'wrong place, wrong time' syndrome, James catches the eye of Kitten during a battle and by some mystery ends up agreeing to date her-- after a relentless pursuit on her end for an undisclosed amount of time. He's a rather normal guy who works in a pastry shop, supporting his younger sister Mei after their parents passed away in an unfortunate accident. Seems nice if a little emotionally exhausted but he's suspiciously casual about his dating partner. May have his own agenda.
“So, I’m really your boyfriend, huh… Well, I guess that’s fine. Can you at least stop bringing those weird guns when you visit me at work? It scares the regulars.”
Carmelita Brown. Translocator Natural in training. Code name: Dragon. She can create portals when she concentrates as a form of teleportation, but it seems to only manifest in extreme stress. Her powers right now are most useful for pocket space (the ability to displace objects in pocket dimensions so that only the user can retrieve them), as well as teleporting objects.
It's rumored that because her best friend is an illusionist her appearance is some kind of disguise and that actually, very few people know what she really looks like and why she’s called "Dragon." While the rumor is another matter altogether, one thing is certain; she does have a close relationship with Ricardo-- which may or may not be a problem. She likes him, but every since she started to date him, things have changed... and she doesn't quite know how to handle it. At least, she can concentrate on hero work... if Ricardo isn't around, anyway.
“A real hero is strong, brave, kind and cool. Everyday, I think I’m closer to becoming one.”
Ricardo Fernandez. Illusionist Natural in training. Code name: Glamour. He (and Dragon) are actually not training for conventional hero-work. Their missions are more along the lines of intrigue-- in other words, super-spies. He dislikes hero work, the World Protection Program, and the way heroes are treated and has no interest in protecting people or other high ideals.
In spite of that, he takes his illusions and honing his skills very seriously, mostly for Carmelita's benefit. Though he is serious with her, he does have a tendency for subtle, even playful flair and being overly cynical. He grew up with Carmelita and knows her better than anyone. His powers manifested after hers.
“Glamour? Ha. Tags are nothing but a bunch of fancy nicknames meant to make a person seem like more than they are."

Final Comments:
1. What do you think of the concept?
2. Which character appeals most to you (either in appearance or personality)?
3. Does it bother you that you won't get as much backstory of the large scale world they live in?
4. Any questions or commentary?
