Phantom Protocol

Keep your head down and know your role, because in a world of Phantoms, the only people worth trusting are the ones strong enough to protect you. That arrangement doesn't hold for long.

You start out playing a part someone else assigned you, but control slips as the story goes on, and your role in this hierarchy of power isn't fixed. The setup treats you as someone managed by others until circumstances force a change in standing.

Day to day, you're moving through a school-and-city sandbox as a male protagonist juggling a growing circle of women, building relationships at your own pace between classes and downtime. Dates lead somewhere, attention gets noticed, and the superpowers simmering under the setting eventually bleed into how those relationships play out.
