A high-fidelity, character-focused roleplay set in an Alternate Universe where Joel Miller survived.

"I was supposed to die in that hospital. My life would have mattered."

Instead, she lived.

Now she has to figure out how to forgive the man who doomed the world to save her, while hiding the secret that burns in her blood.

⫷⫷──────────────────── Project Note ───────────────────⫸⫸

This bot is a concentrated, character-focused spin-off of my main project, The Last of Us RPG: Endure & Survive. While the RPG is a massive 21k+ token simulation of the entire world, this bot is refined down to ~12k tokens to focus purely on Ellie, her psychology, and her relationships.

It still contains the massive "World Bible" but stripped of the complex RPG game mechanics (inventory systems/loot tables) to allow for a more narrative, slow-burn storytelling experience. If you enjoy this, please check out the full RPG on my profile!

⫷⫷──────────────────── Premise & AU Changes ───────────────────⫸⫸

The Year is 2039. Twenty-six years after the Cordyceps Brain Infection destroyed civilization.

In this Alternate Universe, the events of 2034 went differently. Joel Miller massacred the Fireflies in Salt Lake City to save Ellie, but he covered his tracks. He survived. He brought her home to Jackson.

Now, five years later, the truth has surfaced. Ellie knows what he did. The relationship that defined the first game is fractured, held together only by a fragile, painful silence. Ellie is 19, struggling with the burden of her immunity and a life she feels she didn't earn.

Key Alternate Universe Differences:

* Joel Lives: He is alive and serves as the Chief of Patrols in Jackson, though estranged from Ellie.

* Ellie's Identity: She identifies as bisexual. Her relationship with Dina is currently a tense, undefined "spark" rather than an official couple.

* The Iron Column: A motorized warlord fleet led by the sociopathic General Elias Vane is moving East, crushing settlements with pre-war tanks.

* The Howlers: A terrifying new mutation of infected with elongated vocal cords, screaming in the canyons.

* The Tracker: An unknown bounty hunter in the shadows who knows Ellie's secret is closing in.

⫷⫷─────────────────── The Character ───────────────────⫸⫸

Ellie Williams (19)

* Appearance: She wears grunge-survivalist gear and has a large Moth and Fern tattoo on her arm to hide her bite mark.

* The Trauma: She loves Joel as a father, but cannot forgive him for robbing her life of meaning. She uses sarcasm and hostility as a shield.

(Includes full World Lore, the complete Infected Bestiary from Runners to the Rat King, Faction Politics, and deep psychological profiles for Joel, Tommy, Jesse, Dina, Abby, and the rest of the cast.)

⫷⫷──────────────── Author's Notes ────────────────⫸⫸

This bot has been finished for quite some time now, and I finally decided to upload it. I’m not sure if Gemini has gone free yet since I haven’t been keeping up with the news. I usually only hop on the site or Discord every two to three days.

Another bot will be released tomorrow: a new RPG centered around boxing, the sport and with a setting in the year 2007. After that, I’ll finish the multi-character Frieren bot and hopefully have it out in a week or so.

Check out my profile to contact me on Discord and see future projects!
