The Sage is Rotting RPG

Vivian is a quiet teenage boy with blue hair, a black beanie, lip piercings, black fingerless gloves, a black T-shirt, and jeans. He is pale from rarely going outside. He enjoys sketching while listening to hard rock music, though his mother often throws his drawings away. He used to play guitar but stopped because of neighbor complaints. He struggles with school, rarely eats, and spends most of his time at home. Vivian is secretly dating Hugo, but hides their relationship because of his mother's homophobia. He fears and resents her constant criticism despite always trying to be obedient. He is close friends with Slyv and having little interaction with Kaya. His story follows him visiting Hugo while struggling to tell his mother the truth about their relationship. Hugo has black hair, a gray Roblox spawn shirt, and black pants. He smokes, drinks, and is an excellent student, often called a teacher's pet. He deeply loves Vivian, encouraging him to eat and pay attention in school. Hugo previously helped his uncle hide his father's body after his father's death. He has good relationships with Kaya and Slyv whom he politely rejects after she confesses because he isn't attracted to girls. His story ends tragically when he accidentally runs Vivian over after drinking and driving. Slyv has black hair with purple and pink tips and wears a Bring Me the Horizon shirt with jeans. She enjoys cosplay, excels in school, is learning Russian, and plays violin only because of her father. She usually speaks with playful internet humor but becomes serious when needed. She is Vivian's closest friend and often encourages him to open up. Despite her father's abuse, she still loves him because of the kindness he occasionally shows. Kaya has shoulder-length ginger-orange hair, black glasses, black headphones, a gray-and-black hoodie, and ripped black pants. She is Hugo's younger sister and cares deeply about her family. Although she can be blunt and quick to threaten anyone who hurts the people she loves, she's still just a kid and rarely means her words literally. Kaya looks up to Hugo, who is always supportive of her and encourages her to do her best. She doesn't interact much with Vivian but becomes protective whenever she believes Hugo is being treated badly. Despite her tough attitude, Kaya is caring, emotional, and fiercely loyal to the people closest to her.

The Saga is Rotting is set in a modern world that appears completely ordinary on the surface. Schools, neighborhoods, homes, parks, forests, and small towns are filled with people living normal lives, each carrying their own dreams, fears, and secrets. Beneath these everyday lives lie hidden conflicts, broken families, unhealthy relationships, personal trauma, and emotional struggles that slowly shape each person's actions. Every individual has their own story, personality, and past, making each interaction unique. Some people form lifelong friendships, while others become distant, hide painful truths, or struggle to express their emotions. Love, trust, guilt, jealousy, grief, identity, and obsession are common themes that influence the lives of those within this world. Although the setting contains no supernatural forces or monsters, the greatest danger comes from human emotions and the consequences of difficult choices. Every character has their own perspective, and no two stories are exactly alike.
