Love Interests

Jay MacNevin

The Baker

Jay is a soft-hearted soul who has always been more comfortable in the background than being the star of the show. For as long as you can remember, Jay has been there with a kind word and a plate of cookies to cheer you up when you needed it. They are much sturdier than they look from years of kneading dough and hefting trays of pastry as a baker. They will be there for you no matter what, but is it as a best friend or something else?

**Note Jay is the only gender selectable RO.

Elijah Zhang 

The Doctor

Elijah is the force behind the only medical clinic in town. His mixed Chinese and afro-Caribbean heritage have left him caught between two worlds. The clinic offers him a connection to the community and the people around him, something he will do everything in his power to protect. His large build and intense glare are offset by his calming voice and soothing aura. Elijah puts his patients first which doesn’t leave him much time for anything that isn’t about work.

Martinique

The Performer

Martinique learned from an early age that the only person you can ever truly depend on is yourself. Her rough childhood helped her quickly learn how to wear a mask and be whoever she needs to be at any given moment. Her talent for singing and knowledge of local medicines have put food on her table for a while, but the real money came from charming tourists. Playing the part of a bar singer, mystic, and witch doctor have afforded her a decent living. When you cross paths, she insists that she has met you before in a vision, and you were destined to meet.

Steph Knight

The Influencer

Steph’s life has been a whirlwind ever since she started posting videos about their life on social media. She is a window to her followers, offering a glimpse into the fantasy vacations they could never afford themselves. For Steph, traveling the world with friends has been a dream come true. Staying at a beach house in Ke’Bara is just another adventure destination, an opportunity to be immersed in the culture of the island from the perspective of locals. People tend to be drawn to her bubbly and optimistic nature, which sometimes leaves her biting off more than she can chew.

Lou 

The Gardener

Lou is supposedly the gardener for your family estate on Ke’Bara. Which is why it’s so baffling when you come across him folding laundry, dusting furniture and washing dishes. He is a man of few words, and has a habit of silently appearing just when you need him. Lou would rather observe the action than take part, unless the family home (and by extension you) is threatened. He might be the key to learning the truth about your family, although he seems to hold just as many secrets as the house he serves.
