I picked Buddha on one because it tickled me to imagine Buddha secretly living life as an agent undercover as a bartender.

Though, if I may suggest, maybe some Asian or South American might be cool. Deities not Greek, Egyptian, or Norse tend to not get much play if I’m honest.

Very true! Which is why I’m asking, since I only know about Greek gods and a handful of Egyptian ones. Can’t really add all the deities, as much as I’d like to go overboard with this game.

Ah, I see! Sorry, it’s a bit late here. :sweat_smile:

Well, other people could probably come up with better suggestions because the only ones I can think of, other than Buddha, are Sun Wukong (who is not a deity despite being uber strong and immortal) and Tolkien gods!

but will there be a unique response for having Leem as my code name? :thinking:

I could see a few Norse deities as bartenders.

Freyr sounds like the chillest of guys, and he’d make a great bartender along with Baldr. Thor might get angry and kill the customers though.

I was thinking of a different one, but the first two you mentioned would be good too.

Personally, I’m kind of sad Dionysus wasn’t an option and didn’t have a line. Being the literal god of wine, it feels like he’d be a fitting alias for an undercover bartender :stuck_out_tongue:

This is ages late, but you are right and I was a fool for not including that by default :V

So I went back to double check my word count and I apprently have 47.3K words instead of the 46K I thought I had. This is why I’m gonna major in English and not math :Y

I hope the tattoos and eye color come into play if there’s a romance scene down the line.

Does the 47.3k include coding? That would skew the game word count if you were only counting those.

They 100% do. Literally, the only reason I made wrist tattoos separate from hands was so I can include a certain romance scene, have an exchange I had with @anon86661845 when I was deciding if I should add them or not:

And yes, like I said on the first post it includes code. There is… a lot of variation in this game.

That’s funny, because my character got a wrist and collarbone tattoo…

Actually, the reason I thought about it is because they had their tattoos covered and were wearing contacts for disguise reasons. And one of the big things in a spy romance is revealing things about your alias/true identity. I feel like that could make a very dramatic romance moment.

cries (and nonsensical gibberish to fill up the letter requirement) Thank you

Edit: turns out I don’t need the gibberish after all IM SCREAMING ABOUT THE WRIST TATTOO KISS THING OH MY GOSH I customized my MC to have a temp neck tattoo, please please please cute neck kisses? ticklish neck kisses? RO hiding/nuzzling their face in the MC’s neck-shoulder juncture out of embarrassment and/or affection? I’m dying I might just add a wrist tattoo for that scene
