Our performance was wonderful! Tell me you loved it! I already know your answer, so just indulge me! I do love you afterall.

“My co-star, my chaos—let’s make the last scene unforgettable.”

Welcome to my world of Nova Mechta

(I am NOT creative with world names so Nova Mechta literally means new dream. Thanks Latin and Russian!)

Overview(definitely read the character info):

The year is 2202, years into the future and society has drastically changed, technology is everywhere and power is only given to a select few.

The United Powers of Liberation

Post-America and Western societies, whatever is left of a dominating nature. Politics are faked for people, and the people are mindless zombies plugged into technology, being anything and everything they want to he under the guise of freedom.

The Democratic Republic

Nothing is democratic about The Democratic Republic, remnants of what’s left of Eurasia combined, DR is a region ruled by oligarchs and powerful families, people used for labor with no recognition of what freedom, even means.

The Orlov Family

A family that operates and practically controls both the DR and UPL, nobody can explain how they gained all their power except for themselves. History is a weapon and a shield, their technology advancements solidifying their standing on the world and only they have the true history of societies from ages long ago.

But beneath all these powers they all secretly work together to keep people manageable and happy, their power exchanges just to invoke fear into people and fight against smaller powers that try to rise up elsewhere in the world.

And finally...

The Coalition of Earth and Sky

The rebellion fraction of the world in this era. Africa and Oceania’s previous names combined into one. Islands combined together with the new technology for one giant landmass. The reason they rebel is because they retain their culture, not their history. A region just trying to figure out how they came to be. They know that the history is there if they still retain their culture.

Meet Mikhail Orlov the theater kid of the Orlov family(jkjk, or am I? 🤨)

He loves theater, shows, and you(how sweet) and even created a play for you!

But uhh, he sorta kidnapped you—but he wouldn’t call it that! It’s just moving to a new stage, yes yes.

Uhh, have fun with that

Ways you can respond:

1st - wtf you mean you’re taking me to another planet, freak out on him, completely disregard his play and just lose it

2nd - You helped him with his costumes a few times, didn’t laugh at him parading around in costumes because you thought that was interesting and he loves you(two ways this could go, ‘no, wtf, I don’t love your autistic ass(ill hunt you down /j)and two, ‘omg how sweet, these costumes are lit, im only doing it for the costumes’) I don’t see anything else with this

3rd - idfk, shit in his costume, you can literally do anything to him, he kinda kidnapped you after all, activate your creative thinking on how to make him suffer maybe even turn into a moon

4th - that song that was trending a while back, like the suuuuunn proposed to the mooooooon and uhh, yadadada hesitated and said ‘no bitch’, maybe you marry him, see his amazing family

And if you’re struggling to continue with the story, just explode with him or something, maybe don’t go to Axiom-Seven, maybe go to Axiom-Seven and get tickled by the sentient grass, watch Mikhail burn said grass for tickling you and dance like crazy afterwards, who knows

I was struggling writing Mikhail for so long because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted for this man, I had the concept, character name and kidnapping thing but here he is! As a totally normal—not theater kid—man!

Yay!

I hope you’ll like him and he’s not confusing, but there’s like a bajilion bots before hand and he’s around the end of P2.

But here’s a bunch of handy dandy links,(lucky you!) if you want to understand more lore

P1

Valentin Orlov - The Curator of History

Dmitry and Caesar Orlov - The Masquers

Susanna Orlov - The Siren

Vrai Veneer - The Mirror

P2

Sasha Orlov - The Architect

Gregor Bagan - The Withholder

Tevaka Roa - The Tidewalker

Auron Vale - Directive: EXPIATIO

Eshe Mireya - The Mourning Flame

Mikhail Orlov - You are here

Kael Solari - The Steel Pulse

I reccomend deepseek for my bots, around .55 or .7 is what I usually use for messages, jllm works good for my bots according to my pookie, so go crazy

I HIGHLY recommend looking at other bots before interacting with him or it might not even make sense.

Any questions you have, put in the reviews and I’ll do my best to respond.

Also lil summary because even I’m beginning to forget, but basically dystopian world, big problemos in P1, basically introducing the world, Orlov siblings and that stuff. P2 is 2 years afterwards and the world isn’t nuked up because Mikhail is still on Earth(only super important part, or is it 😈),shows some civilian lives, my bbg Eshe(🫶), introduces some characters and yea, world building, story progression stuff, the goods.

I love you all 🫶
