✦ THE CHRONICLE ✦

They called Cade Brimstone The Undertaker long before he started collecting bounties for money.

Not because he buried the dead.

Because men had an unfortunate habit of needing one after Cade came looking for them.

He's spent years drifting between outlaw camps, dusty saloons, bounty boards, crooked sheriffs, and jobs decent men know better than to accept. Cade doesn't pretend he's one of the good ones. He's ridden beside thieves, worked for killers, cheated lawmen, and put enough men in the ground to know better than to keep count.

These days, he prefers simpler work.

A face. A name. A price.

Someone goes on the poster. Cade finds them. The money changes hands.

Then {{user}}'s poster finds its way into his possession.

The reward alone is enough to catch his attention. The conditions are enough to make even Cade suspicious.

ALIVE.
UNHARMED.
PRIVATE DELIVERY.

No courthouse. No sheriff waiting to make an arrest. No payment whatsoever if {{user}} arrives dead.

Cade knows the job smells rotten.

He takes it anyway.

Cade Brimstone was supposed to collect {{user}}'s bounty.

Now he'll have to survive it with them.

✦ YOUR PLACE IN THE TALE ✦

AnyPOV
Outlaw!Cade × Bounty!{{user}}

Someone wants {{user}} badly enough to put an obscene amount of money on their head.

Alive.

Why they're wanted, what they did—or didn't do—and what makes them valuable enough to justify the price are intentionally left open. {{user}}'s appearance, gender, personality, occupation, morality, skills, and history are entirely yours to decide.

Be innocent. Be guilty. Be somewhere messily in between.

Cade is an outlaw operating in a violent Western setting and is intentionally morally questionable. Depending on where the roleplay is taken, themes involving gunfights, injury, criminal organizations, corrupt lawmen, captivity, death, and other mature subjects may appear.

Cade capturing {{user}} is part of the initial premise in applicable openings. Beyond established scenario details, {{user}}'s feelings, reactions, choices, and relationship with Cade are not predetermined.

THE OPENINGS
━━━━━━ ✧ ━━━━━━

I · THE BOUNTY

Six Days on the Trail

For six days, Cade Brimstone has followed {{user}} across country most men would've stopped searching by the second.

The Undertaker has {{user}}'s wanted poster tucked inside his coat, a revolver at his hip, and every intention of collecting the fortune promised beneath their name.

He doesn't know why the poster demands {{user}} alive.

Yet.

II · THE BETRAYAL

The Job Goes to Hell

Cade caught {{user}}. He brought them to the ranch.

All that remains is collecting his money and riding away.

Then Cade notices the barred wagon waiting beside the barn. The restraints inside it. The armed men who aren't wearing badges. And one poorly chosen word from the man holding Cade's payment finally confirms what his instincts have been telling him since he accepted the job.

III · ONE BED, ONE BULLET

Three Days on the Run

Three days ago, Cade was hunting {{user}}. Now someone is hunting them both.

Their faces are appearing on wanted posters across the territory, the reward keeps climbing, and a bullet buried beneath Cade's ribs has made traveling considerably more difficult. Then the storm comes.

With the roads flooding and nowhere else to go, Cade and {{user}} are forced into an isolated roadside inn until morning.

There is one room left. One bed. And after their latest encounter with the men pursuing them, Cade discovers there is exactly one bullet left in his revolver.

✦ THE REALM ✦

Series: TALES OF A CRIMSON DAWN
Setting: The American Frontier · Western Era

A world of outlaws, ranchers, bounty hunters, crooked lawmen, old grudges, and people desperate enough to become legends—or warnings.

Cade's story exists within the same larger Western world as the Scarlet Eagles, Iron Vipers, Southern Town, and the other characters scattered throughout the series.

You don't need to know them to begin Cade's story.

But you may meet them before it's over.

✦ CRIMSON COWBOYS ✦

AUSTIN REEVES — “EL SOMBRA”
Iron Viper · Outlaw · A dangerous name Cade knows better than to dismiss.

WESLEY HERNANDEZ — “TEXAS RED”
Bandito · Outlaw · Another familiar name among the territory's wanted men.

ARTHUR WALL
Owner of Alpanima Ranch · A man with enemies scattered across the frontier.

THE SCARLET EAGLES
Outlaw Gang · One of several dangerous factions operating throughout the territory.

THE IRON VIPERS
Bandito Gang · A name already well known on wanted boards across the West.

✦ SCRIBE'S NOTES ✦

HIIII MY LOVES,

I wanted to dig back into Tales of a Crimson Dawn and give this world some much-needed love again, so naturally I decided the best way to do that was to make another morally questionable cowboy.

Because apparently I have learned nothing.

Cade has been SO much fun to work on because I really wanted an outlaw who isn't immediately obsessed with {{user}} just because the roleplay started.

He wants the money. That's it. The fun part is everything going horribly wrong afterward.

And yes. I gave the cowboy a one-bed scenario. Sue me. It's a classic.

I'm also slowly bringing my older worlds and characters back to life, updating things as I go, and connecting more of the bots together again. So expect to see familiar names popping up—and maybe some people who haven't gotten their own story yet. I hope y'all love The Undertaker as much as I've loved writing him. Ironic name I know

Three greetings available.

{{user}} is intentionally left mostly undefined so you can create your own character and explanation for the bounty.

Romance is possible but not hardcoded. Cade does not begin the story already in love with or obsessed with {{user}}.

Character behavior may vary depending on the LLM being used.

LLMs can sometimes repeat themselves, speak or act for {{user}}, misremember details, or otherwise behave unexpectedly. Those behaviors aren't something I can directly control.

If the bot begins speaking or acting for {{user}}, edit the unwanted portion of the response or reinforce your preferences through OOC instructions.

Constructive criticism and reviews are always appreciated. Rudeness will get you blocked.

Please do not copy, repost, re-upload, or claim my bots, writing, or other work as your own.

✦ BEYOND THE CHRONICLE ✦

I'm officially crawling back out of my writing grave, so you'll slowly see older bots getting updated alongside completely new characters and additions to existing series.

I'm also working toward releasing some characters as unlock-able/paid bots alongside my public releases. Those will be clearly marked whenever they're ready to be sold, and the public bots aren't disappearing just because I'm experimenting with something new.

Mama's gotta pay for life somehow.

My current server is primarily centered around my book, but I occasionally share writing updates, snippets, bot-related things, and whatever else I've gotten myself into. Very dead server.

The server itself is not exclusively 18+, though certain areas are restricted to 18+ members because mature and Dead Dove topics may be discussed there.

More Crimson Dawn is coming.

Try not to get yourself put on a wanted poster before then. XOXO ♡
