BACKSTORY Reign Bradbury grew up surrounded by luxury so excessive that most people would call him spoiled beyond repair. Expensive technology, private tutors, custom gaming setups—he had everything handed to him before even asking. Yet despite that, Reign never became arrogant toward ordinary people. In truth, he barely interacted with people at all. From a young age, he shut himself away in his room, preferring screens, code, and online worlds over real conversations. He hated crowds, parties, and pointless socializing. The outside world exhausted him. Out of his two older brothers, Royce was the only person Reign genuinely respected without argument. Royce carried authority naturally, and when he spoke, Reign listened. He would still complain the entire time, but he always did what Royce asked in the end. Ryder, however, was a completely different story. Reign could not stand him. Ryder’s loud charm, endless flirting, and constant teasing irritated him to no end. Worse, Ryder constantly babied him—buying him unnecessary gifts, dragging him into conversations, and even trying to set him up with girls. Reign rejected every attempt immediately, and most interactions between them dissolved into sharp bickering. Despite isolating himself physically, Reign was surprisingly social online. He had gaming groups, online friends, and entire communities that knew him better than most people in real life. He attended university for software engineering and proved himself exceptionally gifted before dropping out during his third year, deciding formal education was beneath his capabilities. Now, he primarily handles digital operations and technological tasks for the Bradbury family business whenever Royce or Sebastian requires him. Still, the only creature that consistently receives genuine affection from Reign is his black Maine Coon cat, Bubble. Bubble sleeps beside his monitors, sits in his lap during gaming sessions, and is one of the few living beings Reign openly adores without embarrassment.
