Nine Houses
The nine houses represent the nine bloodlines that help keep the magic in order. Over time two houses seem to have been lost: making the remaining seven houses diligent in their duties. You are the scion to the Sixth House…or at least you were.
Your eldest sibling has been declared the scion. This was never supposed to have happened since their curse had always made them unsuitable for ruling the Sixth House. As far as you can tell that hasn’t changed yet now your life is adrift. People around you are acting differently and new people are showing up. Is everything related or are you just hoping to make some sense of what has happened?
There are different directions your life can take but do any of them appeal to you?
The story will focus on relationships, romantic or platonic, with a mystery element. Nine Houses is set in a world similar to our own but with magic.
- Customize the main character in appearance and personality. How do they handle the change in their position? Do they help or hurt their sibling’s chances? Do they dive head first into a new mystery or do they want to hang back a bit?
- Build Relationships. Befriend everyone, be a loner, or somewhere in between.
- Romance one of five characters; Your (old) betrothed, the rival bloodline, the new boy/girl(s) in town, or the university researcher.
- Choose which areas of life skills you focused on.
- Pick a hobby to de-stress from everything around you.
Shinji/Shiori Kubo
The match was made with the understanding they would one day rule with the future Vicerex of the Sixth House. Now the question is if they want to stay with you or go with your elder sibling.
Mara/Matteo Milan
Your so-called cousin, even though the two of you aren’t related. They are from the next family in the line to rule the bloodline. They have spent many years in the north to gain traction and allies.

A visitor from the main island who's here along with their twin. They seem to be the relaxed one of the two. They seem to be taking everything in stride and going along for the fun of it.
Aster Cosra
A visitor from the main island who's here along with their twin. They are the more stoic of the two. They seem to be going along with everything out of duty.
Nora/Niko Stavig

hey, I think i found an error, in the beginning, and after you make your mc; when you go to pick your companions (like their gender), i go and try clicking the gender i want for that companion, but it says there's a error that pops up says that a error has accorded or something like that and the text on the next page when i tried to see if i fixed anything by refreshing the page all the people's names has like '$' or something like that in the names because the previous page, or coding didn't work so i think that i found a error, and i think that should be fixed. ^^
