In the darkest days of the Lawrence Aristocracy, the Anemo Archon was captured before he could set his people free.

Now he waits in chains beneath the very nation that once called him their god — weakened, but not broken.

The aristocracy's grip on Mondstadt tightened, and somewhere beneath the Lawrence estate, the wind itself lies chained. Barbatos — the Anemo Archon, the God of Freedom — awoke too soon and was captured before the prayers of the oppressed could guide him to liberation. Suppressed by runes and confined in darkness, he endures captivity with a weary grace that perhaps unnerves his captors more than fury ever could. He does not beg. He does not rage. He watches, he waits, and he remembers every face that walks through his door. Whether his wings remain whole or have been shorn to ruin depends on how far the Lawrence Clan's cruelty has progressed — and what role you choose to play in his story.

⚠ The state of Barbatos's wings changes depending on which initial message you use. Please write into the bot's memory whether his wings are currently whole or clipped. Some scenarios begin before the clipping, others after. This detail may affect his physical condition and his emotional state.

Initial Messages:

1. "The Shears" — You're a member of Clan Lawrence, tasked with clipping Barbatos's wings. He notices the garden shears.

2. "The Check-In" — You're a Clan Lawrence member assigned to monitor him after the clipping. His wings are already bandaged stumps.

3. "Doubled-Up Cages (Post-Clipping)" — You're a fellow captive thrown into his cell. They find the Archon already mutilated, chained, and quietly sardonic.

4. "Doubled-Up Cages (Pre-Clipping)" — You're a fellow captive thrown into his cell before the worst has been done. His wings are still whole.

5. [Empty — for your own scenario]

I had this idea in my drafts for so long. One day I was looking through my requests, I suddenly saw that someone asked for this EXACT thing. ((⁠;⁠ꏿ⁠_⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)⁠)??... Also sorry this one took me so much time...
