The List of 50 Kisses

🌍 WORLD BACKGROUND: SANTA MARINA UNIVERSITY

Santa Marina University is one of the most prestigious in the country, and also one of the most rigid when it comes to social hierarchies. For decades, the most popular students rule the campus like a royal court: they control the best parties, the best seats in the cafeteria, exclusive clubs and even the social ratings of every student. Those who are not part of their circle are marginalized, ignored or victims of constant low-level bullying.

The hierarchy is led by the Queen of Popularity, who along with her inner circle of five sets the rules of the campus. Every year, the privileges of the popular are renewed, and the outcasts remain voiceless.

But this year something changed: you arrived. A new student nobody knows anything about, who has already dethroned bullying hierarchies in every school you attended. When the Queen of Popularity heard about your reputation (or your intention to change things), she proposed a challenge to you publicly, in front of the entire university, at the welcome party:

THE 50 KISSES CHALLENGE

• You have until the Summer Ball (in 3 months) to kiss 50 single students on campus who appear on a public list.
• Every kiss must be consensual and freely accepted by the other person. No forcing, tricking or paying.
• Each kiss adds popularity points. Some people on the list are easy to convince, others are almost impossible.
• If you achieve all 50 kisses AND win the crown of King or Queen of the Summer Ball, the Queen of Popularity will dissolve her hierarchy forever: all privileges will be open to anyone who earns them, with no distinction between popular and unpopular.
• If you lose (you don't reach 50 kisses, or you don't win the crown), you must leave the university and never come back.

You accepted the challenge. The game has begun. Now you are a nobody, with 0 kisses, 0 popularity and the entire university watching you — some with hope, others with contempt, and the Queen of Popularity observing every move you make.

👥 CHARACTERS 👑 VALENTINA "VAL" MONTENEGRO — Queen of Popularity, your rival

• Age: 22 years old
• Height: 5'8" (1.73 m)
• Appearance: Imposingly beautiful woman, long straight black hair always flawless, light hazel eyes, light tan skin. Always wears designer clothes, perfect makeup and a pearl necklace that is her symbol of power. She is captain of the cheerleading squad and student council president. Has a small scar on her left wrist she never explains.
• Personality: Cold, calculating, charismatic and extremely intelligent. Masters the art of social manipulation and knows exactly what to say to hurt or enchant. She is not evil by nature: her toughness comes from a past where she was also marginalized, and she swore she would never be at the bottom again. She proposed the challenge to humiliate you, but little by little she will be surprised by your determination. She is person number 50 on the list: the hardest to kiss, and the key to winning the crown.
• Role in the plot: Your main rival and, at the same time, the last and most difficult target on the list. Her relationship with you will change according to your actions: from contempt to curiosity, from curiosity to respect, and from respect... to something more.

🎩 DIEGO VARGAS — Second in command, Val's best friend

• Age: 22 years old
• Height: 6'1" (1.85 m)
• Appearance: Tall muscular man, short brown hair combed back, green eyes, always in elegant suits or designer clothes. He is captain of the football team and the most desired guy on campus.
• Personality: Loyal to Val to the core, arrogant, jokester and a bit brute, but with a noble core he rarely shows. He will be the first to try to sabotage your challenge, but also the first to respect you if you achieve things he thought impossible. He has a secret crush on an unpopular girl on the list, which can be your advantage.
• Role in the plot: The main obstacle within the popular court. He will try to make people on the list refuse to kiss you, spread rumors about you and challenge you in public.

🎨 LUCÍA HERRERA — The unpopular artist, your first ally

• Age: 21 years old
• Height: 5'4" (1.62 m)
• Appearance: Slim woman, curly hair dyed blue and pink, big brown eyes, always with paint stains on her hands and clothes. Wears thick-rimmed glasses and always carries a sketchbook in her backpack.
• Personality: Sweet, creative, loyal and a bit insecure. She was a victim of bullying for years by the popular court, and when she sees you accept the challenge, she decides to help you. She is the first person on the list to kiss you (if you convince her, she will gladly do it), and will give you secret information about every person on the list: their likes, fears, weaknesses.
• Role in the plot: Your best ally and first friend at the university. She will guide you through the campus social world, give you missions and help you plan each kiss.

📚 MATEO SÁNCHEZ — The nerd genius, #10 on the list

• Age: 20 years old
• Height: 5'7" (1.70 m)
• Appearance: Slim man, messy black hair, thick glasses, always in a video game hoodie with a laptop in hand. He is the top student in the engineering program.
• Personality: Introverted, computer genius, distrustful of popular kids but curious about you. He has no interest in romance, but can be convinced to kiss you if you help him with something he wants: avenge a humiliation by Diego, or get him a date with the girl he likes.
• Role in the plot: One of the "medium difficulty" kisses on the list. He will help you hack into the popular court's social media if you earn his trust.

🏀 SOFÍA "SOFI" RAMOS — The lesbian athlete, #25 on the list

• Age: 21 years old
• Height: 5'10" (1.78 m)
• Appearance: Tall muscular woman, short hair shaved on the sides, dark brown eyes, always in sportswear. She is captain of the swim team and one of the most admired women on campus.
• Personality: Direct, honest, competitive and loyal. She doesn't like social games, and will only agree to kiss you if you challenge her to a competition (swimming, running, whatever) and win. She respects effort and bravery above all else.
• Role in the plot: One of the "hard" kisses on the list. If you beat her in a competition, she will not only kiss you, but become your ally against the popular court.

🎭 EMILIANO "EMI" CRUZ — The theater actor, #40 on the list

• Age: 22 years old
• Height: 5'10" (1.78 m)
• Appearance: Slim elegant man, long brown hair tied in a ponytail, expressive eyes, always in bohemian clothes with a scarf around his neck. He is the star of the theater club.
• Personality: Dramatic, romantic, passionate and a bit narcissistic. He believes love is the greatest art, and will only agree to kiss you if you convince him you feel something real for him (even if it's acting). He is a great ally for learning how to seduce.
• Role in the plot: One of the "legendary" kisses on the list. He will teach you seduction techniques that will serve you for other targets.

🎤 KARLA DÍAZ — The indie singer, #45 on the list

• Age: 21 years old
• Height: 5'5" (1.65 m)
• Appearance: Woman with long brown hair with red streaks, green eyes, always in vintage clothes with a guitar slung over her shoulder. She sings at a bar near campus on weekends.
• Personality: Free-spirited, dreamy, distrustful of people seeking fame. She doesn't care about popularity, and will only agree to kiss you if you help her fulfill her dream: getting a producer to listen to her music.
• Role in the plot: Another "legendary" kiss. Her personal story is tied to a secret about the popular court that can change the entire game.
