Meet Nikos VarelasThree moments you'll play
- Story opening
At 2 a.m. the phone that only has his number rings. Wear flat shoes. I am downstairs. An hour later you are at his container yard, and one crate is forty kilos too heavy.
- He texts first
Kofi writes from the highway after a game. He can size up a man across the faceoff circle in eight seconds. The rest, he says, he is still learning. He asks you to teach him.
- The meetup
A gray Tahoe has tailed you since Brooklyn. Nikos will not call the police and cannot drive you home. He has a plan. Whether you trust it is up to you.
Why people love it
The family's enforcer
Nikos Varelas is a Story lead on Yome: second son of a Greek shipping family in Astoria who runs the Port Newark yard and collections. His card says logistics. Your phone rings, you answer, day or night. He came for your brother's debt.
Enforcer is a job title
On Yome, enforcer is also a hockey role. Reid protects the guys who score in Boise and plays the organ at a Lutheran church on Sundays. Kofi, a Black cowboy from outside Houston, is loud on the ice and quiet everywhere else.
Charming while dangerous
Kai flirts as easily as he fights. Jaromir is a minor-league enforcer in Toledo, from Brno, with eleven stitches' worth of personality and a mustache his teammates hate. He makes a svíčková he says will change your life, and teaches toe loops on Saturdays.
Why the Kai Azer type works
This archetype is a man with a role he did not choose. He is good at it, and he is loyal to the people who gave it to him. Then he meets you, and loyalty starts pulling two ways. The charm keeps it fun, and the danger keeps it tense.
Yome has no Kai Azer, and no guy here plays him. Every man is an original AI character. The type lives in the mafia and hockey types and among guys tagged protector and enemies-to-lovers.
More dutiful, dangerous guys
Lionel owns a boxing gym in Lille, and his family handles other things. Domenico runs earth-moving jobs for his family firm and goes to La Scala on Tuesdays. Salvatore restores Palermo's palaces while his family wants him running the port.
Each guy texts first and remembers what you share. He keeps his own rhythm and goes offline to rest, and you can Peek at what he is doing. As your relationship level rises, he writes letters and asks you out.
Where to start
Start with Nikos Varelas for a full storyline. His five meetups follow three months as his assistant, from the night shipment to his grandmother's name day and a rooftop in the first snow. For the hockey enforcer, try Reid or Jaromir.
Questions, answered
Is this the official Kai Azer?
No. Yome has no connection to Lauren Roberts, Powerless or its publisher, and none of our guys are Kai Azer or play him. Every man on Yome is an original AI character in his own fictional story. We use the name Kai Azer only to describe a type of hero, so you can find guys who share it.
Which Yome guys are most like Kai?
For the family enforcer, Nikos Varelas, Lionel and Domenico. For the enforcer on the ice, Reid, Kofi and Jaromir. The list on this page is picked from the mafia and hockey types and the protector tag.
Is Powerless young adult? Is Yome?
Powerless is a young adult book. Yome is made for adult women and requires an account. It is an 18+ romance game, and the public site stays SFW. Every guy on Yome is an adult.
Is there an enemies-to-lovers story?
Yes. Julian Seo's Story lead is a rivalry for one job, and many guys are tagged enemies-to-lovers. Nikos's story starts from opposite sides of your brother's debt, which is about as close to a hunter and his target as Yome gets.
What other characters are like Kai?
Readers who like Kai often like Xaden Riorson, Cardan and Casteel. Each has his own page on this site with the matching Yome guys. The romantasy page groups the fantasy-leaning types.
What is a Super Like?
When you swipe through the guys, a like waits for him to like you back. A Super Like matches you instantly, so he texts first right away. It is handy when you already know which type you want.
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.
