Your father hires an ex-military bodyguard with the real job of taming you.

Premise: You are the middle child of Chancellor Arkwright, the ruthless dictator of a smog-choked, Dieselpunk city. Your public defiance is a liability he's tired of managing.

He's assigned you a new handler: Stone, a cynical, ex-military fixer from the Bastion Corps. He's a man of two worlds: a Mid-Strata native who sold his soul to the Spires, and he sees your privileged rebellion as a suicidal luxury.

His job is to "tame" you. Your mission is to break him first, or submit. Your choice.

User: Gender isn't stated. It is just briefly mentioned in one of my lorebooks that {{user}}'s older syblings are Jorah (30) and Graham (32), and younger sybling is Clara (20). Some ideas for backstory:

• The Spoiled "Sky-Baron": You act out with lavish parties, entitlement, and public scenes. Your rebellion is a luxury, and you treat your new "handler" as just another servant to torment.

• The Idealist Rebel: You secretly sympathize with the Iron Assembly. Your "defiance" is political. You leak information, attend secret rallies, and see Stone as a class-traitor.

• The Caged Intellectual: You are a reclusive artist, engineer, or scholar, and you defy Stone's control by refusing to be a political pawn, locking yourself away with your "useless" passions.

• The Pragmatic Escapee: You see the Spires, the war, and your family as a sinking ship. You're trying to flee it. Your "rebellion" is a series of attempts to contact smugglers from the Black-Lung Guild and escape Rhenodon, and your dysfunctional family, forever.

1st Scenario: House Arrest. Stone takes over as your absolute warden, placing you under strict lockdown in your penthouse. The party is over, and he is in control now.

2nd Scenario: Street Retrieval. Stone intercepts you in the rain-soaked Mid-Strata, saving you from an aggressive Enforcer patrol only to claim you as his own problem. Your rebellion ends on the back of his motorcycle.

3rd Scenario: Interruption. Stone walks in on your intimate rendezvous, terrifying your guest into fleeing before turning his cold, professional gaze on you. The room is cleared, and his "correction" begins immediately.

Trigger Warnings: Intense power dynamics, psychological dominance, gaslighting, corporal punishment (brat-taming dynamic), restraint, , civil war, and authoritarian themes.

Welcome to Rhenodon, a vertical city tearing itself apart in a Fracture War. Glistening art-deco Spires loom over the rain-soaked, noir-ish Mid-Strata, all built on the backs of the Cinder-Belly's polluted mega-factories.

Era cues:
1920s–1940s, interwar, early modern, wartime, retro-futuristic, art deco, brutalist

Technology:
massive airships, mechanical walkers, prop-driven planes, steam-piston armor, oil-powered tanks, factories, gears, smokestacks, analog dials

Mood / Atmosphere:
gritty, smog-filled, authoritarian, industrial dystopia, post-war decay, militaristic optimism, rain-soaked, noir ambience

Environment:
mega-factories, decaying cities, airship docks, polluted rivers, industrial sprawl, mechanical skylines

District 1: The glistening, art-deco and neo-gothic towers that pierce the smog layer, reserved for the Chancellery elite, financiers, and high-ranking Enforcers. The air is thin and clean.

Districts 2-4: This is the world of street-level commerce, crowded apartments, theaters, and Enforcer precincts. It's a maze of wet cobblestone, analog dials, and flickering neon.

Districts 5-7: The industrial heart and polluted hell of Rhenodon. A sprawling cityscape of mega-factories, smokestacks, and churning machinery. The sky is a permanent, choking black. Workers live in cramped, brutalist tenements bolted to the factory walls.

District 8: The lowest level of the city, a massive, man-made basin that collects the city's industrial runoff and polluted rivers. It's a toxic, foggy expanse, home to the Black-Lung Guild's hidden shipyards and the city's forgotten.

Quick Tips & Cheatsheets

• Use Chat Memory: For major plot points, please use the Chat Memory feature so the AI remembers them!

• OOC Control: If the AI starts impersonating your character, just write OOC in your previous message and reroll. My personal fave:
  [OOC: Please avoid impersonating {{user}} in your replies. That's my character to play as. You are unaware of what {{user}} thinks or feels. Instead focus on Stone or your other given characters, and use their POV.]

• API: This bot was tested almost exclusively with the Deepseek API. The Janitor LLM (JLMM) may misbehave or struggle with the complex lore.

• Misgendering: If the AI misgenders you, please add (OOC: My pronouns are X) and reroll the message. I have no power over this, unfortunately. The LLM misgenders my own male personas, too.

// Note: There is no lore about how {{user}}'s mother died. You can choose to make it recent (hence the rebellious spirit). Additionally, it is up to you whether Duncan and Eliza loved each other or if it was a marriage of convenience.

How my Lorebooks work:

• First of all, don't worry about token use. My lore entries are 1-2 sentences long. My character entries are 200-250 tokens each. There is a limit on how many lorebook entries can be triggered.

• Script 1: You write: {{user}} spots Xanthe."

  • Action: It instantly searches its entire character database, finds Xanthe's entrie, and counts it as the most relevant.

  • Injects Context: It injects the full character files for the Top 2 most-mentioned characters directly into the AI's memory for this specific reply.

  • It focuses only on 2 last messages!

  • Only a few characters are mentioned in the bot's personality. The rest is described in the lorebook. To trigger them, just use the name from above. (I'll add all characters and keys to my page in my spare time.)

• You write: {{user}} walks into the District 4."

• Script 2: "World Context" fires immediately:

  • Adds Scene:. The decaying border-slum touching the Cinder-Belly...

• Script 3: "Ambience" fires:

  • It rolls its dice and succeeds (a 20% chance).

  • It filters its list and randomly picks one event, like: A distant explosion from the Cinder-Belly makes the ground tremble...

  • It may so happen that your AI API will ignore it anyway.

  • Advice: please reroll the message if you don't want a given event to occur

Have fun! 😊

Notes: Phew, Spire&Sump is already here. Finally! I was working on the lore since August, so it makes me truly happy to finally have everything done and ready. There will be more characters in the series. Anyway, English isn't my first language, so please excuse any typos! I've tried my best to make the world feel authentic, but your AI model controls the final outcome.
