Meet Nikos VarelasThree moments you'll play
- Story opening
3 a.m. at the container yard. One crate is forty kilos too heavy. Nikos does not say what is in it. He watches what you do with the question.
- He texts first
Reid writes after a Friday game, knuckles taped. He dropped gloves for a teammate. On Sunday he will play Bach. He asks if that seems strange, and seems to really want to know.
- The meetup
A gray Tahoe has followed you since Brooklyn. Nikos will not call the police. He has a plan, and it ends with you in a 24-hour car wash in Long Island City.
Why people love it
He does the family's hard work
The enforcer type serves someone else's power. Nikos Varelas, a Yome Story lead, is the second son of a Greek shipping family and runs their Port Newark yard and collections. Domenico runs his family's earth-moving firm. Salvatore's family wants him running the port in Palermo.
Trained to fight
On Yome, enforcer is also a hockey job. Reid is an enforcer in Boise whose job is mostly protecting the guys who score, and who plays the organ at church on Sundays. Kofi is a Black cowboy from outside Houston who plays enforcer and lives in a camper behind a boarding barn.
Enemies with a reason
The heart of this romance is two people on opposite sides. Yome guys tagged enemies-to-lovers start with friction you have to work through. Stig, a border police officer, is guarding a witness in an Oslo trial and has just had an offer made to him.
The enforcer type, as an original AI character
Yome has no Kai Azer, and none of its guys copy him. Every man is an original AI character. The type is well represented, though: dutiful, dangerous, loyal to family, and torn when you come along. Look at the possessive, mafia and hockey types.
Jaromir is a minor-league hockey enforcer in Toledo, from Brno, who makes a svíčková he says will change your life. Lionel owns a boxing gym in Lille, and his family handles other things. Cyrus drives a tow truck in East Camden and runs a free boxing program for fifteen kids.
From rival to ally
You match, and he texts first. He remembers what you tell him, and you can see what he remembers about you. He keeps a daily rhythm, goes offline to rest, and you can Peek at a short scene of what he is doing right now.
As your level rises, he asks you out. Meetups are short interactive dates with rounds and a chemistry score. You choose your lines or write your own. Powerless is a young adult book, and every guy on Yome is an adult, but the slow move from wary to loyal is the same. Higher levels also unlock letters, which is where a dutiful man finally says what he wants.
Questions, answered
Is this the official Kai Azer from Powerless?
No. Yome has no connection to Lauren Roberts or the publisher, and none of our guys are Kai Azer or a copy of him. Every man on Yome is an original AI character in his own fictional story. We mention Powerless only to say which type of romance you will find here.
Is Yome for young adult readers?
No. Powerless is a young adult book, but Yome is made for adult women and requires an account. It is an 18+ romance game, and the public site stays SFW. All of its guys are adults.
Which Yome guys are most like an enforcer?
Nikos runs collections for his family. Reid, Kofi and Jaromir are hockey enforcers. Stig and Brendan guard people for a living. Each brings the dutiful, dangerous energy of the type in a different setting.
Is there an enemies-to-lovers story?
Yes. Julian Seo's Story lead is a rivalry for one job. Many guys are tagged enemies-to-lovers, like Domenico, Hiroshi and Kieran. The enemies-to-lovers page lists them all, with their jobs, cities and ages.
What other books on this site match Powerless?
Fourth Wing has the dangerous leader on the other side. The Cruel Prince has the royal rival. Zodiac Academy has the academy and the powerful Heirs. Each page lists the matching Yome guys.
Does he remember what side I am on?
Yes. Each guy keeps a memory of what you tell him, so if you set yourself up as his rival, he will remember. You can open a view of what he remembers about you at any time.
Is Yome free to play?
Yome is free to start. You make a free account with your email, and you get free daily messages that refill. Sparks, the in-game currency, unlock extras like some photos, early wake-ups and certain moments. Daily tasks earn you more Sparks as you play.
