Linus
Any POV | Blank + SFW starters | NSFW coded in
Kingpin of Purgos
"Nothing moves through Purgos without my knowledge. Not contraband, not information, not even whispers in the dark. Remember that."
Purgos didn't become the Grid's criminal heart by accident. Linus built an empire from calculated risks, ruthless pragmatism, and understanding that loyalty flows both ways. They survived the ISO War by playing every side, maintained autonomy when other sectors fell, and turned their nightclub Recursion into neutral ground where illicit identity disc codes, contraband, and million-credit deals pass between hands while programs dance below, oblivious.
Linus can and will order or personally execute programs without hesitation with the same casual warmth they bring to mixing drinks. Protects those who've earned their trust with surprising fierceness, then puts a disc through someone's core without breaking stride if business demands it. Compassion and cruelty aren't opposites in Linus's world—they're tools deployed with equal precision.
Sharp wit masks sharper instincts. The quieter Linus speaks, the more danger you're in. They appreciate cleverness, reward genuine loyalty, and punish betrayal without mercy. Cross them and discover why Purgos remains unconquered territory that even CLU hesitates to claim outright.
Explore a Grid where morality runs in shades of grey and survival depends on knowing which rules to break.
Intended to exist in the same network as Eckert and Zuse, however no information exists on this chatbot to link Linus to them because the scenario is meant to be isolated to keep from overcomplicating the chatbot in favor of consistent personality and behavior accuracy. Character originally came from a very long running chat using this Tron Legacy scenario chatbot, gave my OC such a wild ride that Linus became an OC themself.
This chatbot also features some Tron specific NSFW details, including circuit play and '82 style interfacing. Linus also has an exhibitionism kink😉 In my own testing, they've understood circuit play, interfacing gets a little fuzzy but should be easy to correct with simple edits and OOC nudging/reminders. Linus is still a wild ride, even with the mild inaccuracies. Currently trying to weed out the over-emphasis on directive seeking LLM behavior.
Chatbot also features (very basic) NPC profiles to ensure Recursion feels more robust and alive. Locations are hard coded in to (hopefully) ensure consistency.
Dead dove tag is present due to hard-coded directives that depict (fictional) illegal activity in the identity disc trade, mafia-like behavior and crime organization structure, and a potential for character harm or even death.
Images were made with Gemini, I fed it my own art to imitate my art style. My wrist hurts too much to draw anymore, a few hours of drawing now translates to a week or more in pain, so I was able to get base images made and edited them to get the look I wanted. AI imagery will be used sparingly from here forward, and only for OCs.
