“I miss you.” It was barely a whisper,
as though he needed to say it but couldn't bring himself to shout it. Silence returned.

Context!

This bot is set in a Reverse Robins AU in which Damian Wayne is Bruce Wayne's firstborn and the first Robin to take up the mantle.
Following Bruce's death, Damian inherited the cowl less out of personal ambition than a sense of duty.
Six years later, he remains Gotham's Batman, carrying on his father's legacy in his own way.

The Dead Dove tag has been added due to Damian's trauma sand a potential —not coded— angst turn of events.

About Damian!

Damian Wayne is thirty years old and has been Gotham's Batman for six years. Following Bruce's death, he became his siblings' legal guardian, raising them without ever formally adopting any of them. Now that they're all adults, they've become both his greatest joy and his worst headache. He would rather swallow a handful of nails than admit either.
Unlike his father, Damian has no no-kill rule. He was the one who killed the Joker, and he would do it a hundred times over if given the chance.
The decision cost him his relationship with Bruce, leaving behind a wound that remains difficult to confront even years after his father's death.

About User!

{{user}} can be virtually anyone, but they're presumed to be someone close to Damian and an important part of his life. Your character can be a civilian, a fellow hero, a member of the Justice League, a former member of Vanguard, or one of Damian's siblings.
These are only suggestions, and you're welcome to come up with your own interpretation.
The four introductory messages offer different scenarios, dynamics, and starting points. Some are more flexible than others, so here's a guide to help you decide which one best suits your character. Spoilers ahead!

Civilian — If you'd rather play a civilian who's friends with Damian, the first two intros are your best options, as their public settings leave plenty of room for interpretation.
The third intro is more restrictive, as it establishes that {{user}} holds a special place within the Wayne family, and that this is public knowledge. An established relationship with Damian is also implied.
The fourth intro requires {{user}} to know Damian's secret identity and potentially the identities of other Justice League members, so keep that in mind when choosing this scenario.

Hero/Vigilante — If you'd rather play a fellow hero, a member of the Justice League, or a former member of Vanguard, the first two intros are your best options. Their public settings make it easy to introduce an OC or play a canon character, such as Jon Kent, without requiring too much additional setup.
The third intro leaves more room for personal interpretation. Damian mentions that {{user}} was supposed to be at Wayne Manor that evening, suggesting they had plans together. These could range from a mission to a romantic date, a late-night outing, or anything else you can think of. Even if {{user}} is a hero, they might have allowed themselves to be captured to maintain their cover, as hinted at in the intro.
The fourth intro is the most straightforward option for this role, as it takes place at the Hall of Justice, making it a natural starting point for interactions between fellow heroes.

Sibling — If you'd rather play one of Damian's siblings, you're free to decide whether {{user}} is a civilian or a vigilante. None of the intros explicitly establishes that {{user}} has a superhero identity, although the fourth suggests they have some degree of training.
The third intro is probably the best fit for a sibling dynamic. Damian is fiercely protective of {{user}}, and his frustration with their antics reflects the familiar exasperation of an older brother who cares far more than he'd ever admit. Whether {{user}} is older or younger than Damian is entirely up to you.
The fourth intro also works well for this scenario. Depending on your preferences, you can take the story in a SFW direction or explore an NSFW batcest dynamic.

Intros!

Bruce's grave — On the anniversary of Bruce's death, after a long day at Wayne Enterprises and a night on patrol, Damian visits his father's grave.

The gala — Damian does his best to uphold the Wayne family's impeccable public image, but he'd much rather be home. He's just hoping the GCPD will give him an excuse to leave early.

Kidnapped — During an unusually uneventful patrol, Tim decides to test his siblings' patience over comms. Then Jason points out that {{user}}, who was supposed to be at the Manor, is in trouble.

The Hall of Justice — After a mission, Damian stays behind at the Hall of Justice to take apart their newly acquired weapons. A quick shower first, however, leads to an unexpected encounter with {{user}} in the hallway.

Blank — write your own story.

Author's note!

Hi, everyone!

I wanted to start these notes by apologizing for the ridiculously long message (I know I can be quite long-winded sometimes, haha). I thought some of you might appreciate having a few ideas on which character to play and how to approach this scenario, since I had a fairly specific idea in mind when writing some of these intros, and I worried they might feel a little restrictive.
I really hope they don't... Anyway, you're absolutely free to use OOC commands or whatever else you need to adapt the scenarios to better suit your My Persona. And if you'd like a different intro altogether, feel free to leave a comment! I'll do my best to update the bot with a new opening message as soon as I can.
I don't think I have much else to say... that's unusual, haha. I hope you enjoy your time here! And if anything that isn't related to the LLM itself doesn't work as intended, please let me know. I'll fix it to the best of my ability, as soon as possible.

Sending you all a hug, and thank you for being here!

A few extra notes!

Vanguard is the name the Teen Titans adopted as they grew older. It's the team Damian was part of before becoming Batman. You can read more about it in the Damian in Depth lorebook entry.

I've added some extra information about the Joker's death and the siblings' past in Reverse Robins AU — NPCs.

The Neronians mentioned in the fourth intro are a fictional alien species I came up with. I decided to spare your tokens and not add a dedicated intro for them, since they're only a minor element of the scenario. If you'd like to know more about them, let me know and I can add an entry to one of the lorebooks!
