SNEZHNAYA
CHAPTER VII · 7.0–7.2 SANDBOX

This is not a single-character bot.

This bot functions as a full Snezhnaya sandbox covering the events, characters, factions, locations, projects, and major lore of Chapter VII — Versions 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2.

You choose who you are, where the story begins, how closely canon should be followed, and whether the original storyline survives your involvement at all.

VERSION 7.2 · HOUR OF RUIN

The Nails of Retribution awaken. The Holy Soil spreads across Teyvat, and Snezhnaya calls the seven nations together. Investigate eastern Snezhnaya, the Temple of Space, the Trials of Usurpation, and the terrible secret waiting in Celestia.

Your story can begin before the disaster, during the crisis, or after the revelation of the 42-day ultimatum.

Heavy spoilers for Chapter VII Acts V–VI.
New and expanded: Novokitezhgrad, Wingspan Peak, Old Kitezhgrad, Vesna's frontline, Danica's assignments, Mitya, Valeriy, Noy Tysyatsky, Alice, Nicole, Esoptron, Nukvah, the seven nations, and the unresolved Celestia conflict.

Your Role

{{user}} has no predetermined role, gender, appearance, personality, allegiance, abilities, or relationships.

You may enter the story as an original character, a civilian, researcher, Fatui operative, Harbinger, Veche official, soldier, foreign diplomat, Khaenri'ahn survivor, Abyss-affiliated figure, or anything else you want.

You may also completely replace an existing canon character.

Character Replacement

If you replace a canon character, the replacement is complete.

The original character will no longer exist separately in the active storyline. Their relevant position in the plot, history, relationships, responsibilities, access, and canon events are reassigned to you.

However, you do not automatically inherit their gender, appearance, name, personality, morality, sexuality, mannerisms, or behavior.

For example:

//replace Pierro

Pierro and Eftirvit will no longer exist separately. You may occupy their narrative position in Khaenri'ahn history and the Fatui while remaining entirely yourself.

Choose Your Canon

STRICT
Canon proceeds as closely to the original storyline as possible until your actions actually change it.

FLEXIBLE
Canon remains the foundation, but characters, relationships, casualties, discoveries, and future events may naturally develop differently.

DIVERGENT
Once the story begins, future canon is no longer protected. The world develops entirely from the consequences of your choices.

The bot will not force the original storyline back into place after you change it.

Where Can You Start?

Anywhere.

Before the events of Version 7.0.
During Project Stuzha.
Inside the Korolevskiy Theater.
During Project Mistilteinn.
During the Seals of Life operation.
Before Hroptatyr's notebook is opened.
During the final confrontation with Ronova.
Immediately after Version 7.1.
During the Hour of Ruin and the seven-nation summit.
During the Trials of Usurpation.
At the gateway to Celestia.
During the 42-day ultimatum after Version 7.2.
On the troubled railway to Novokitezhgrad.
With Vesna on the Belovodye front.
During the six-key investigation of the Temple of Space.
At the multinational summit in Zapolyarny Palace.

In the Throne of Gods before Nukvah.
Five hundred years earlier in Khaenri'ah.
Or inside a completely custom AU.

Quick Start Examples

I replace Pierro. Start immediately before the vote concerning Hroptatyr's notebook. Canon mode: Flexible.

I'm an original character working in the Armory Palace. Start during Project Mistilteinn.

I replace Tartaglia. Keep canon intact until the Korolevskiy Theater, then let events diverge naturally.

Start after Ronova's defeat. I'm an ordinary civilian in Snezhnograd and I personally know none of the Harbingers.

Start five hundred years ago at the Universitas Magistrorum. I replace Eftirvit/Pierro completely.

Important Notes

Heavy spoilers for Snezhnaya Chapter VII, Versions 7.0–7.2, including the Celestia revelations.

The bot is designed to preserve individual character knowledge. Information written in its database is not automatically known by every NPC.

Characters have independent motives and may disagree with you, refuse you, lie, investigate, cooperate, betray, or change their plans according to the situation.

The bot does not automatically make characters romantically interested in {{user}}.

Deaths, injuries, political changes, destroyed locations, exposed secrets, altered relationships, character replacements, and other major consequences are intended to persist across the roleplay.

If you change the cause of a future canon event, that event may change completely or never happen.

Canon & AU Note

This sandbox was built around the Snezhnaya storyline of Genshin Impact Chapter VII, Versions 7.0–7.2.

I tried to preserve the characters, chronology, political structure, projects, relationships, and major lore as accurately as possible while still allowing the storyline to be changed freely through roleplay.

Because the purpose of this bot is sandbox roleplay, canon may intentionally diverge depending on your choices.

The post-7.2 endpoint is an unresolved 42-day countdown, not a completed victory. Future version 7.3 events are not predetermined. Version 7.2 ends with an unresolved confrontation and in-world countdown. The lore database includes detailed chronological Act V and VI plot stages and distinct character roles, but no future Version 7.3 outcome is assumed. If new official information contradicts this edition, the bot may be updated.

There is no “correct” protagonist here.

You can save Snezhnaya.
Destroy its plans.
Replace one of the people who shaped its history.
Stand completely outside the main conflict.
Or start from canon and see how long it survives you.
