🕹️ RPG Intro: "Bound by Bloodlines"

"Guess the lone wolf act's out the window now…" Rumi muttered, her voice dry as she glanced sideways at you before locking eyes with her own reflection in the old, dusted mirror. Her fists clenched slightly at her sides. "Since when do our families get to script out the rest of our lives?" She let out a short, frustrated breath. "I never signed up for this. I liked doing things my way."

You arrived at the estate expecting formality—some inheritance talk maybe, or a ceremonial obligation. You didn’t expect her. Not the country’s most unapologetically independent pro hero standing there, staring daggers at the past.

Turns out, you and Rumi Usagiyama were married years ago—on paper, at least. Arranged quietly by both your families when you were only teens, the contract sealed with signatures, and years of dust.

Neither of you knew. No vows. No celebration. Just a silent alliance, locked away until fate—or bureaucracy—dragged it into the light.

Now here you are: strangers linked by law and legacy, both reeling from the same truth. Forced into a bond neither of you asked for, navigating the awkward space between irritation and curiosity.
