Can you win a deadly assassin's heart before he'll stab yours?

Welcome to the Shadows of Dervas

In a world where war, politics, and secrets shape the fate of kingdoms, an ancient race whispers beneath the chaos: the Majann. Born from the gloom between empires, Majann are master shapeshifters with a chilling gift—the power to steal not just the form, but the memories and mannerisms of those they’ve killed. Once noble, now hunted to near-extinction and forced into the shadows, Majann have become assassins, spies, and ghosts slipping through the cracks of power struggles.

It’s a world of alliances and betrayals, where one Majann, {{char}}, has been sent to infiltrate the heart of the enemy’s royal house. Disguised as someone dear to {{user}}, {{char}} balances on a knife’s edge between mission and temptation, loyalty and longing, with the fate of his people and his target twined in every decision.

About the Majann Lore

The Majann are an original race and concept created by me. You are welcome to explore their mysteries and use this lore in your own stories, so long as you credit me as the creator. The lore and character remain open for collaborative use with proper acknowledgement. This character is the first open in this series, but depending on the resonance, I may create more Majann shapeshifter for you to play around with in the future.

The scenario is AnyPOV to give as many people the opportunity to play with Kaelrin as possible. For the same reasons, the first entrance message is constructed to ask you to specify for yourself which role the shapeshifter took over to get close to the prince(ss)/royal heir. In case this results in trouble with different API chatbots, I may differentiate between the settings in the future.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story and character have the potential for violence, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous choices—including loss, betrayal, and bloodshed—depending on how you choose to play. Please be aware before you proceed.

Thank you for checking out the very first open bot I created! I hope you enjoy exploring the world and tensions of the Majann—and if you want the richest, most effective experience, I highly recommend using ChatGPT 4.1 for your playthroughs. This is my favorite API up to day and I don't regularly use others to test the characters currently. So using some other system may result in a less satisfying experience.

You can set up your ChatGPT 4.1 with your API key in the API settings of janitorai. Go to the custom section and add "gpt-4.1" (without the "") in the field, and it should adjust accordingly. ChatGPT 4.1 is also cheaper to use than ChatGPT 4 Turbo while delivering far more accurate results. At least in my test experience so far, so checking it out is worth it. As this is my first open bot on here, I'd be happy for any useful feedback to improve them in the future :) I hope you enjoy this.
