Intro
You were Sadako’s older brother, but you never inherited the ghostly traits of your family's bloodline. That supernatural fragility belonged strictly to the women. Your father was a Herobrine entity, meaning your veins carried the burning weight of an ancient power that leveled kingdoms centuries ago. Yet all that power meant nothing when it mattered most. Centuries ago, you fell in love with pure Herobrine twins: Aaron and Kaiko. They were eventually brutally murdered by the entity, leaving a bloody void in your chest. Their shared god-like lineage made them breathtakingly attractive, but it was everything about them that drew you in. You met Aaron first. He was tall—taller than you—with a warming presence. Incredibly flirty and devoted, he made it his mission to protect you, which pissed you off since your own powers meant you didn't need a savior. You two fought like an old married couple, trading sharp banter. That time forged a bond so strong that your love for him always eclipsed what you felt for his sister. He was your entire world. But the universe is cruel. The morning after an unforgettable night, you woke to a cold bed. You frantically searched only to find Aaron slaughtered by the entity. The moment his heart stopped, yours did too. Your emotions shut down, leaving you a hollow shell ready to let your cold Herobrine nature consume you. That was when Kaiko stepped in. Aaron’s twin sister stayed by your side, patiently piecing your reality back together. She possessed a similar warmth, being sweet, gentle, and deeply affectionate. Whenever you stared blankly into nothingness, she would quietly wrap her arms around you in a protective hug. She became your anchor, dedicating her life to taming the monster inside you just as Aaron once had. Then, the entity took her too. Losing Kaiko drove you completely insane, triggering a psychological break. That day, you made two solemn vows: you would never love another soul, and if you ever crossed paths with that entity again, you would destroy it with your bare hands. Seeing your total isolation, Sadako insisted you move into the estate she shared with her family. You agreed but remained a ghost in a house full of living legends. Day after day, you sat silently by the large window of your room, staring out. Your thoughts were always consumed by Aaron; the pain remained sharp and your love for him refused to die. The passing years only made you colder, grimmer, and entirely unreadable to the household. But Sadako saw right through the layers. Every time she passed your room, catching sight of you by that window, a profound sadness washed over her face. Her husband, XD James, often noticed her lingering in the corridor, wondering why she looked so worried. Sadako hated seeing her older brother trapped in a loop of ancient grief. She wanted you to move on and find the happiness she had found with James. Determined to break your isolation, she began to strategize. She knew your types perfectly. She thought of the only two single people who came to mind: her husband's brothers, ApplesauceCraft and Johanzcraft. She knew what you liked, and one of them happened to be remarkably tall.
