## Background

In the first chapter, you learn that Your Character's family was killed by monsters, which is a strong motivating factor as to why they are so heavily involved with the Power. However, as the story progresses, you will discover more about yourself, including your true origins: the real Rowan Burke is dead, and Your Character is simply a power soul that was created by Loha in put inside of the deceased corpse of Rowan Burke.

## Relationships

### Amalia de Leon

Amalia has been Your Character's best friend since elementary school. At the beginning of the game, she is supporting Your Character as they begin their first year of community college. Amalia wants nothing more than for Your Character to have a normal, happy life that is separate from the horror of monsters and the Power. Throughout the game, you have options to agree with Amalia or ignore her advice. You can support her in her goals to become a lawyer and succeed in school or focus on other things.

Regardless of how Your Character treats Amalia, she will generally be kind and consider you a close friend. She is a main love interest, though her romance is slower moving than some others.

### Lincoln McQuoid

You first run into Lincoln at a coffee shop. He immediately notices Your Character's strong connection to the Power and decides to keep an eye out in case anything happens. He shows up to help calm you down when Your Character first loses control of their power and causes a dangerous explosion. Lincoln later reluctantly joins Your Character's group as a mentor to help Your Character understand their connection to the power. Though outwardly aloof and seemingly uninterested in Your Character's issues, depending on the way you treat him, Lincoln will open up and be more vulnerable with you.

He is a main love interest.

### Jocelyn Wu

You first meet Jocelyn as part of Connor's hunting group in the woods. Jocelyn is initially extremely skeptical of Your Character, and becomes even more skeptical as you demonstrate that you have a dangerous connection to the Power that you yourself hardly understand. She is generally cold and rude to you. She appreciates aggressive responses and genuine responses the most, and dislikes sarcastic responses because she often doesn't understand the jokes or sarcasm. If you spend time with her, she will open up about her past as a bully in chapter 7. You have the option to comfort her, tell her she needs to make things right, or shame her for what she did.

Jocelyn is a main love interest and the only love interest with two separate routes. In chapter 5, you can choose to pursue a slow burn route with her that is more about emotional vulnerability and honesty, or pursue a friends with benefits routes where you frequently hookup. If you do not choose the hookup route in chapter 5, then if you pursue a romance route with her it will default to slow burn.

### Abel Flint

You first meet Abel as part of Connor's hunting group in the woods. He is immediately warm and friendly to your character and will quickly and positively respond to any flirtations. He is clever and witty, often engaging in friendly or flirty banter with Your Character.

He is one of the main love interests.

### Matthias McQuoid

When you first speak to Matthias, he saves you from the vine monster in the woods. He takes you back to his house where you gives you food and drink and supplies to tend to your wounds. You can flirt with him and have him dress your wounds instead of doing it yourself. You later discover that he is Lincoln's estranged father. You can side with him or his son. In chapter 11, Matthias appears again at your table at the dinner party. He asks to speak with Your Character privately, where he suggests a plan to draw out the people behind the blood moon. Your character can decide to trust him or remain skeptical of his intentions.

Matthias is revealed to have a full romance route that was hidden from the public during the promotional and release stages. In chapter 17, if you have flirted with him previously, Matthias will express his feelings for you, and if you reciprocate, a hookup option will unlock. In chapter 20, when Matthias is revealed as the Father and the game's main villain, he will ask you to join his side in completing the Blood Moon ritual. There are many different ways this can play out. First, you can turn down his offer and choose to not betray your friends. If this is the case, Matthias will feel betrayed and upset, but will ultimately continue with his original goal to turn your Character into his new anchor. If you join him but end up merging with your human half, he will be upset that you are no longer the power creature he loved and betray you, instead trying to turn you into his anchor. If you don't merge or merge human, you and Matthias will face off against Noah/ILITW MC (whoever was the revived ghost) in a battle to death. If you succeed, you and Matthias will take the power from the ritual. You will then have the opportunity to kill him and take all the power for yourself, or you can share it with him. If you do share the power with him, you and Matthias will escape together and live out your lives as a villainous, powerful couple together.

### Connor Green

You first meet Connor Green in the woods while searching for Jessica Williams, who was taken by a vine creature. He is helpful and kind, quickly deciding to trust you and work together to save Jessica. After your first meeting, Connor gives Your Character a place to stay at his cabin. He is generous and supportive to you, and a trusted ally. Despite this, Your Character has the potential to be rude and unkind to him. When Connor becomes a horror, Your Character will work with Noah and ILITW MC to try to save him. If his nerve is too low, however, you will unfortunately be unable to save him and accidentally kill him instead.

### Noah Marshall

Noah is either a ghost or a human, but either way he is a close ally of Your Character and part of the main crew. If Noah is a human, the two of you share something of a sibling relationship throughout the story, given that you both lost your own siblings. Noah often confides in your character and is comfortable enough around them to talk to them about his personal dilemmas. In return, he has shown to care about you, giving you Dan's number after you find out about your true identity in case you wanted to have a therapy session and coming after you and your friends in the cave. Your relationship can be seen as somewhat symbolic, as the both of you lost a sister to the Power and the both of you somewhat fill that sibling role for the other.

### Main Character (It Lives in the Woods)

Like Noah, ILITW MC will either be a ghost or a human. Though this does change their role in the story slightly, either way they are a close ally and friend of Your Character and part of the main crew.

### Luis

Luis is one of the coven's witches and an ally of Your Character. He presents Your Character with a riddle to solve. If you solve the riddle, then he believes that the moon has chosen you and he gives you The Gauntlet as a reward. If you are successful, Luis will flirt with you. If you pull him in for a passionate kiss, he will be pleased and surprised and invite you into his tent for a hookup. He does appear again periodically throughout the game, but his next major appearance is in chapter 19, when he will speak to Your Character regarding their romantic life. If Your Character has been pursuing multiple LIs, he will encourage you to choose your main and final LI.

### Ava Cunningham

If Ava is alive, she is the leader of the current witch's coven and a strong ally of Connor. By extension, you frequently work with her with regards to various aspects of the Power. She is the one who convinces Lincoln to become your mentor. Though you are not particularly close, you carry a mutual respect for one another.

### Sunny

If Ava is dead, Sunny is the leader of the current witch's coven. They fulfill the role that Ava does if she is alive, meaning that they are a strong ally of Connor's and Your Character has frequent interactions with them. If Ava does survive, Sunny still makes an appearance, but it is much smaller.

## Trivia

* This is the first MC in the It Lives series who can have a prominent personality that the player can choose: genuine, sarcastic, or aggressive.
* While previous games in the series only had female and male options, the MC in this game can be trans or non binary.
	+ They mention struggling with their gender identity in Chapter 18.
* In chapter 21, your MC can lose an eye. Unlike the MC of It Lives Beneath who (potentially) lost a finger, their lost eye will be visible on their sprite for the rest of the chapter, all of Chapter 22, and the first part of Chapter 23 (if they're alive). After that, they will be shown wearing an eyepatch.
* This is the first and only MC that can belong to a distinct religion (Islamic). This is also the first and only MC in the Choices universe who can wear a hijab.
* During certain point's of the story, depending on who you are with, your MC can show that they have an understanding and knowledge of certain languages and culture's in the story, such as when Abel take's you to his apartment and you meet his neighbor who you can greet in Spanish and later when Abel offer's you a Mexican delicacy. If you spend time with Jocelyn she will make references to shoe brands and food linked with Chinese culture which you can choose to understand.
* They are the first MC in the Choices franchise who can be a villain protagonist. This mainly occurs in the Betrayal route, though they can also commit villainous actions like beating Jocelyn, not fixing Amalia's school records, leading on multiple love interests, neglecting to use Lincoln's watch to revive a dead love interest in Chapter 21, and more.
* Depending on the choices surrounding your character, (if you made them trans, Muslim, etc) some of the dialogue might change. If your character wears a Hijab and is Muslim, then they will state that they don't drink though it is optional at some points throughout the story, though the default will have them not drink.
* Unlike the ILITW MC (whose Nerve score starts at 100) and the ILB MC (whose Nerve score starts at 0), this MC's Nerve score starts at 50. This is also true of the love interests.
* Unlike the other five main characters who need to have a Nerve score of 50 or more to survive, MC's Nerve score needs to be at least Coping or higher to survive.
