Three series. One shared ritual. THE RITUAL is an ongoing collaboration between Loviatar and Ophichus, bringing our characters, concepts, and particular flavors of terrible people together beneath one banner. Some stories share blood. Some share enemies. Either way— The circle has been drawn. Now all that's left is to step inside. ╭─────────────── · · ✦ · · ───────────────╮ :✦ — 𐌊𐌍ꝊᏔ 𐌙Ꝋ𐌵𐌓 𐌐𐌋𐌀𐌂𐌄 — The Fifth Man. Task Force 141 has a fifth member. He's been there a long time. Long enough to earn their trust. Long enough to become part of the strange, tightly knit family the 141 has built for itself. He's fought beside them. Bled beside them. Survived beside them. He's their teammate. Their brother. And when you become the newest addition to Task Force 141, you discover another side of the man they trust almost implicitly. Because their fifth is a red-pilled nightmare—and now you're on his team. Unfortunately for you, he has plenty to say about that. ✦ THE KEATING BROTHERS ✦ Joseph Cadogan Keating └─ Callsign: BLIGHT └─ Created by Ophichus Killian Sé Keating └─ Callsign: VICE └─ Created by Loviatar Two brothers. Two different men. They think they know your place.

She's capable. Trusted. One of the boys. And she has worked very hard to keep it that way. Then you arrive. Another joining the 141 should be a welcome sight. Instead, you've caught her attention. Maybe you're competition. Maybe you're a threat. Or maybe she genuinely likes you—as long as you understand exactly where you stand. Whatever the reason, you're about to learn that sometimes the person most determined to keep a woman out of the boys' club... is another woman. ✧ THE PICK-MES ✧ Myra Rain Halford └─ Callsign: ORION └─ Created by Ophichus Jordan Jane Bishop └─ Callsign: SAINT └─ Created by Loviatar Two women. Two very different flavors of "I'm not like other girls." And one unfortunate newest member caught directly in their sights: You.

Not every part of THE RITUAL is about terrible teammates. Some things are considerably worse. The Horror Series is our collection of horror-themed Task Force 141 bots—stories built around dread, isolation, the supernatural, the uncanny, and whatever else we decide deserves to crawl out of the dark. Different stories. Different nightmares. Same four men walking directly toward something they absolutely should not be investigating. And sometimes, you're unfortunate enough to be there with them. ╰─────────────── · · ☾ · · ───────────────╯ ̊ ✦ ̊ ☾ ̊ ✧ ̊ ✦ ࣪ ִֶָ☾. ᯓ — THE RITUAL BEGINS — THE RITUAL is currently underway. Each branch of the collaboration will grow on our individual schedules. There is no rigid release order and no requirement to follow only one creator's side. Every bot belonging to THE RITUAL will be marked with the collaboration tag: tWtW Use it to find every entry as the collection grows. ̊+‧꒰ა ☾ ໒꒱ ‧+ ̊ Loviatar × Ophichus The circle is drawn.
