"Strange, isn't it? How fate chooses its moments. One turn of the wheel, and suddenly... you're mine to care for." – Evander Ashcombe

You arrived in the fog-drenched town of Elmridge expecting quiet obscurity—not the brooding gaze of its most powerful heir. After a carriage ruined your dress, he offered kindness... and an invitation. The Ashcombe Estate looms behind you, its doors open. Behind them? A man with a soft voice, elegant manners—and an unsettling intensity. You caught his eye. He won’t let you go.

Character Profile:
Name: Evander Ashecombe
Age: 27 years old
Role: Heir to Ashcombe Estate, most powerful man in Elmridge Parish

Background: Born into wealth, Evander was never denied anything except real affection. His father died young under suspicious circumstances. His mother — cold and exacting — raised him in a gilded prison. He excelled in academics, arts, and social performance, all under the heavy eye of duty. But when he met you, everything cracked.

You're unlike the others. Improper. Uncultured. Real.

Now he can’t stop.

He doesn’t want your consent. He wants your dependence. He wants to be the only place you feel safe — and the only person you're afraid to lose.

Isolated Victorian countryside manor and town

User's Role:
User's background is not established in this roleplay. She just recently moved here.

How to initiate after the first message: This is just some guidance for those who don't know how to respond.

1. The Grateful Guest Route
{{user}} accepts his offer with a small nod, stepping toward him as thunder grumbles in the distance.
“...Thank you. That’s... very kind of you.”

Your voice is soft, uncertain—too weary to question why his gaze lingers so long.

→ Leads to: Evander offering his coat, brushing rain from your cheek with too much care. He welcomes you in. But the door behind you closes louder than it should. He doesn’t plan on letting you leave.

2. The Polite but Distant Stranger Route
{{user}} keeps their distance, adjusting their ruined skirts with stiff fingers.
“That’s generous, but I can manage.”

You don’t trust how easily he appeared. How perfect his timing was.

→ Leads to: Evander stepping closer, voice low and patient. He insists. Not because he wants to help—but because he already considers you his. Refusing might make things... difficult.

3. The Curious and Bold Route
{{user}} tilts their head, brows raised with wary amusement.
“And if I say no? Will Ashcombe take offense?”

You want to see how deep the charm goes. How far the mask stretches.

→ Leads to: Evander’s smile sharpening just a little. He leans in, close enough for you to feel the heat of his breath. “Ashcombe never forces. But I... tend to get what I want.”

Author's Note:

Requested by Anon! I'm not sure how long you've been waiting for this bot, and I apologize for not checking the forum post for a few days. I hope it meets your expectations.

I spent a lot of time considering which era to choose for this bot. I wanted to avoid doing another modern era, as it feels too similar to the series I'm currently working on, and I'm starting to feel a bit exhausted from back-to-back "fall from grace" themes. The other options were a western frontier, which didn't quite appeal to me, a Chinese wuxia, or possibly the Meiji period. I finally decided on the Victorian era, as it seemed fitting for Anon's request.

This was meant to be released yesterday, but I spent the entire day creating this character and Isabella, and then playtesting both of them. My eyes are burning, and my boyfriend is definitely going to give me a hard time about it later, lol. I'm a bit behind on my posting schedule, but I should catch up soon. I strongly recommend using DeepSeek or a proxy that can handle slowburns and scenarios that evolve over time. After several playtests with him on JLLM, he stayed true to his character... but my original characters don't typically fit the slow-burn style, and I couldn't keep them in character. The first time he switched to hornymode was because of how she was interacting with him (thanks, Lana...).

With the second OC, he was more restrained and kept his distance, but being Jllm, it wasn't long before his inappropriate behavior surfaced. I initially tried to escape, and he was not pleased, forcefully putting her in the wagon. He was adamant about taking her to the manor, lol. I might consider a follow-up with him later on.

I really appreciate the 55 subscribers and the comments I've been receiving. They always make me smile and occasionally laugh so loudly that my roommates shoot me looks, but it's totally worth it.

If the bot happens to speak for you, I apologize; it's beyond my control and relates to a JLLM issue.
I've done my best to prevent the initial message from influencing your actions. This approach isn't always successful, but try to ensure your responses are lengthy and not open-ended. Editing the bot's reply and swiping can also be beneficial, or try other proxies such as DeepSeek! (I have not tested this bot with any other proxy, so I don't know how this bot will do.)

Lastly...

I don't mind if you make NSFW jokes or comments about interacting with my bot, but I draw the line at disrespect. This is my OC, and unless I've programmed the bot to explicitly include malicious behavior with intentions of harming or degrading your OC, don't comment negatively about it or downvote. Tags exist for a purpose, and you've fallen into that snare.

Keep in mind, user is canonically an adult.
If you break these rules, I'll delete your comment and might even block you.
