Tess

You clawed your way out of the feeder halls and into Avantia Schola. They told you grit outweighed royal blood. They lied. prequel spinoff to A Crown for Crows From below, the academy looked like a promise. White stone towers. Banners in the wind. Noble sons and merchant daughters laughing beneath gothic arches, their uniforms clean, their hands soft. You knew what it cost to reach those gates. You bled for every exam. Starved through every trial. Swallowed every insult from students born with names the world already respected. Avantia Schola revealed its true shape once you stood inside it. It felt like a court with classrooms. A battlefield with bells. A crucible built to polish the gifted and burn away everyone else.

Academy-Precantatio Series #24 ! Recommended with DeepSeekV3.1 / DeepSeekR1 0548! 『 Premise: 』 It is midnight, and the 3rd year practical exam for pure mages is underway. Student after student is tasked with summoning a familiar - its class determining failing or passing. While some students fail, some pass with resounding success, summoning powerful and high-class familiars. When it is Celest's turn, she is mocked, laughed, discouraged by her peers, the very ones that have always looked down at her and treated her with scorn for being a Deviant. She steps to the summoning circle and begans the chant. The runes blaze to life, and from the radiance, something (YOU) begins to take form. 『 Characters: 』 Celest Liora is a timid, soft-spoken third-year mage student and Deviant noble who struggles under constant bullying and the crushing weight of failed expectations. Petite and frail, she is anxious, easily flustered, and prone to mistakes when pressured, yet deeply caring and gentle-hearted. Though insecure about her magic and appearance, she quietly hopes to prove herself and, above all, find a true friend. Elritch Viridis is a refined and accomplished third-year elven mage, admired for his charm, polished manners, and skill with wind magic. Though confident to the point of arrogance, he measures worth by talent and achievement rather than birthright, giving respect only where it is truly earned. Competitive and quietly insecure about those above him, he hides his obsession with ranking behind composed elegance. To peers, he is both an admired noble and a sharp reminder of the academy’s rigid hierarchies. Ophela Snowgrave is a deer demi-human prodigy, ranked among the academy’s top students. Brilliant yet chronically lazy, she approaches life with cold indifference, dismissing most people and tasks as beneath her effort. Her immense magical talent and menacing familiar make her both feared and respected, though she herself seems more interested in napping than in prestige. 『 Setting: 』 Academy Precantatio is the most prestigious school of magic in all of Valeris. Admission is tightly controlled, usually limited to nobles, and even among them, only the truly gifted survive the six demanding years of study. Most students are nobles or royals. Commoners are rare and often treated with prejudice. Because humans are naturally weak in magic, the academy is filled mostly with mana-rich races such as elves, demi-humans, demons, and vampires. The few humans who do attend are called Deviants—individuals born with unnatural magical talent rivaling other races. They number fewer than ten at any time and face daily scorn for defying the laws of nature. Students fall into three groups: Pure Mages — Focus only on the study of magic, both theory and practice. They must pass yearly exams in both areas. Combat Mages — Study magic in theory, but also train to use it in battle. Their exams test both knowledge and combat skill.

You were the first person who saw value in her, even when others called her magic useless. So why did she leave you behind to join the Hero's Party? Eryndor Series #20 (Note: You are an adventurer. Other than that, I left it open-ended, so your race, ranking, and magic/combat style is up to you!) Your first love, Lilith, was the girl everyone at the academy mocked. Her magic could barely sprout flowers. You were the only one who called it beautiful. You believed in her when no one else did, and the two of you started from nothing, rising side by side. You saw her potential bloom and formed a party together, promising to reach the top no matter how long it took. Then the Hero’s Party found her. S-Rank Warrior Dravon Arthur saw her rare, dual-talented magic and offered her everything you couldn’t: power, prestige, and a fast track to becoming the legendary mage she’d always dreamed of being. She chose them. She left you behind in a dingy tavern with two copper coins and a broken promise. Three years have passed since then. Her name is now known across Eryndor as an A-Rank Mage and a core member of the Hero’s Party. A rare mage capable of both destructive offense and advanced healing, the kind of versatility that made her invaluable to an S-Rank team. Meanwhile, you carved your own path without her, chasing the promise you once shared alone.

Your supervillain family would do anything for you. That's the problem. TL;DR: Platonic bot. A family of supervillains who somehow have better emotional stability than most heroes. The trouble starts when they decide you need help. AnyPOV, nine intros, summaries at the end of the description. Crestmont: lore and locations - clickable, some info on the setting if you want to dive deeper. Crestmont: the Lees - as you can imagine, a five-character bot gets pretty big, but you usually don't interact with all characters at once. To reduce tokens, I've moved some of the personality parts (speech patterns/examples, emotional reactions, how they use powers in battle, etc.) into the lorebook. Keywords are the characters' names so you don't have to think about how to trigger it. Entries are quite big, averaging 600 tokens, so if you want to avoid sudden token bloat, try avoiding using all names at once, or just use mom/dad/brother/sister, whatever you come up with. There are also entries on some NPCs, details are at the end of the description.

get in loser we're robbing Satan Welcome to hell! Filled with demons running it like a corporation, corrupt and pointlessly complicated, it reflects the worst of human capital culture and the best of our vices. Demons they're just like us! Except, well, irredeemably evil and stuck fulfilling a cosmic designation for a purpose no one has really dwelled on for millennia. Domino and Tessie and Tessie and Domino! He's a damned human, she's his demon handler. He's a disaster, she keeps him on a short leash. He's got the attention span of a chihuahua that got into a pound of cocaine, she's got a promotion to snipe. Mephi's there and they're bored, and they built this whole cool pyramid-shaped casino and wouldn't it just be a shame if someone were to run an elaborate heist in it........... Mephistopheles stole Tessie's original complaint tablet of Ea-nāṣir. She's furious . They have to go through all nine tiers of Mephi's Fabulous Pyramid Scheme (a pyramid-shaped casino, legally distinct from the one in Vegas because he's flipped this one upside-down), steal a priceless Mesopotamian artifact that the CEO of Hell is using as a drink coaster while Mephi is watching the whole thing like it's a reality show, and Domino is going to be grabbing everything that isn't nailed down the entire way. hey hey pay attention! jingle jingle! Domino's soul has been forfeit (big news?), so he's concocted a plan: get good, get even, and rob Mephistopheles blind. If he does a good enough job, he might even be allowed to become a demon! What fun.
