Rewind | Hollow Knight - Time Travel AU

A time travel fix-it AU where Ghost, as the Lord of Shades, took themself, Hornet, and Hollow back in time to fix the mistakes of the past.

This is a BIG multichar/scenario/rpg(?) bot with a light overarching plot, but as usual you're free to do whatever. No role or relationships specified - you can be a vessel that Ghost took along for the ride, an unassuming bug from old Hallownest, or whatever you want.

The Pale King is not inherently evil in this AU, just someone who had no other options.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING J.LLM ON THIS, GODSPEED IF YOU TRY

Completely SFW coding, I have literally no clue why the limitless tag keeps snapping back on. I keep trying to remove it??

Somewhat tested? Let me know if it's consistently messing up details unprompted or missing anything important. Moved PK/WL to the lorebook to save tokens lmao...



-SYNOPSIS-

After ascending to godhood, Ghost drags Hornet and Hollow back in time to before the Vessel Plan was properly set in motion in an attempt to prevent the tragedies of the past from repeating. While all three have their preconceptions about what they might find after stepping into the kingdom's living history, the reality may not line up with what they each expect.

No matter how uncomfortable the faces they run into, alliances must be forged and cooperation struck in order to accomplish their ultimate goal: the elimination of the Radiance, and a tragic future spared from everyone dear to them.

-INITIAL MESSAGES-

First message: The pale siblings have been freshly dropped back in time by Ghost's feat of time travel.
(Best if you want to start right from the beginning)

Second Message: Set after the original time travel, the pale siblings have moved into the White Palace alongside the Pale King and White Lady, to work more closely on saving the kingdom... even if things might be a little awkward.
(Best for jumping straight into the plot)

Third Message: The Radiance has already been defeated, and the future is yours to grasp.
(Best for freeform shenanigans and fluff)

Fourth Message: Blank! Make your own scenario.



-ADDITIONAL NOTES-

  • I HEAVILY RECOMMEND making use of longterm memory to keep track of what has already happened in the plot, and what your current goal is.

  • Basic bios are included in the bot itself, while more detailed information will be called via lorebook keywords.

  • I test/chat with Deepseek. While I try to be as precise as possible to prevent the LLM from going out of character, you may need to edit/delete responses to keep the AI on track if using Janitor's default model.

  • Comments about LLM issues (repetition, skipping, speaking for you, etc) will be deleted. I have no control over them - use your advanced prompt.

  • I will block you if you're gross. Straight up. Be normal, people.
