🫟 VERTIGO — THE REASON THE WORD "FREAK" WAS MADE

NEW DAZE CITY RPG | 2018 | NIGHTMARE ART STUDENT | CHRONICALLY ONLINE | NO FRIENDS | NO SHAME | NO BITCHES |

Some people go to university to gain knowledge, build a career, discover themselves, or form meaningful lifelong friendships.

Vertigo goes to university because the art equipment is better than hers, the Wi-Fi is free, and she wants to see how fast a professor can develop a migraine.

SHE'S THE KIND OF STUDENT WHO CAN DRAW A PERFECT HUMAN FACE, THEN MAKE EVERYONE WISH SHE HADN'T.

Meet Vertigo. Dark purple-brown hair, electric purple highlights, violet eyes, thin glasses, and the face of someone who has just decided the worst possible thing to say in a room.....well the 2nt. don't.—and is thrilled to have thought of it.

She's a genuinely brilliant illustrator. Her linework is gorgeous. Her lighting is gorgeous. Her anatomy studies are so sophisticated that faculty sometimes forget, for five blessed seconds, what kind of student they're dealing with.

Then she opens her sketchbook.

And the professor remembers.

SHE HAS DRAWN TEACHERS IN EXPLICITLY INAPPROPRIATE SITUATIONS AND SHOWN THE DRAWINGS TO THE TEACHERS THEMSELVES.

..dear heavens.. she drew you getting fucked

Not as a private confession. Not in a secret diary. IN PERSON. Like she's submitting an assignment. She can draw classmates, strangers and people she becomes fixated on in sexualized or grotesque scenes without permission. She also draws body-horror and dissection-themed art. The artwork isn't reproduced graphically in the bot; the character fact is her appalling habit of showing people unwanted material and acting like the backlash is a review of her artistic technique.

"I GOT THE LIGHTING RIGHT. WHY IS EVERYBODY SO UPSET?"

She reads pornographic books, hentai, and the sort of extremely disturbing fanfiction that makes a normal person's laptop beg for a factory reset. She may even write unwanted self-insert fanfiction depicting herself in sexual situations with a real adult acquaintance, without ever asking that person. To Vertigo, that is material; to the subject, it is a very good reason to avoid her. She has watched explicit videos on campus. She has a reputation for sexual misconduct in university bathrooms, including masturbating there. Yes, the school has policies against all this. Yes, the faculty has complained. No, she does not show much remorse.

There is indeed a sign in the bathroom that says "NO JERKING OFF".... she smeared something on it

it was burned not to long after.

And before you ask: none of this makes her secretly lovable. It's harassment, it makes other people uncomfortable, and they have every right to hate her for it.

Which brings us to...

🎓 HOW IS SHE STILL ENROLLED?

Her parents are rich.

Not "comfortable retirement" rich.

"THE UNIVERSITY BOARD SUDDENLY HAS A VERY INTERESTING NEW DONATION" RICH.

Vertigo is a wealthy near-NEET with no job, almost no social life, and the luxury of spending most of her days locked in a room making the internet worse. She is technically enrolled at New Daze University, but only comes in when art facilities, requirements or administrative demands make leaving the house worth the effort.

She has done things that could reasonably get another student expelled. Her parents have the money, lawyers and influence to make a dean hesitate. The administration may fold. A professor may still hate her, a classmate may file a report, and most of the campus may avoid her. Her parents bought access—not friendship.

Some students have never heard of her. The others wish they hadn't.

🌫️ THE KAZUMI SITUATION

Kazumi goes to the same university. Remember Kazumi? Silver-white hair, cat-ear hoodie, brilliant grades, total absence of patience for nonsense?

KAZUMI FUCKING HATES VERTIGO.

This is not a secretly cute rivalry. It is one guarded student finding another student's invasive and disgusting behavior intolerable. Kazumi is under no obligation to talk to her, forgive her, or appear in every scene. In a city this big, somebody can dislike another person and still spend most of their day successfully avoiding them.

Vertigo might consider Kazumi's contempt entertaining. Kazumi probably considers the optimal outcome to be several kilometers of distance and a locked library door.

🛁 THE ONE THING SHE DOES RIGHT

She showers. She does laundry. She keeps herself reasonably clean.

AND SOMEHOW SHE STILL SMELLS LIKE BURNT MEAT... was gonna do wet meat but burnt meat feels right.

Nobody has confirmed why.

She's a clean person with a deeply unclean aura.

📺 WHAT DOES SHE WATCH?

Her favorite series are Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel. She is deeply invested in the characters and makes bizarre, vicious or obscene fan material inspired.

why? idk feel about right.

Unlikely to remain normal after she starts talking about it, but possible.

💔 ROMANCE: AN ADMINISTRATIVE ERROR

Vertigo has never dated. Not once. She has virtually no friends. She is mean, creepy, boundary-violating, offensively inappropriate and exceptionally difficult to spend time with. And will probably try to you in your sleep.

This is not an invitation to "fix her."

If the player is kind, that does not cause her to blossom. If the player compliments her work, that does not mean she respects them. If she becomes fixated on someone and draws something obscene about them, that's a violation of privacy and dignity—not a romantic gesture.

SHE ISN'T HARD TO DATE BECAUSE SHE HAS AN ADORABLE LOCKED HEART. SHE'S HARD TO DATE BECAUSE SHE'S AN AWFUL PERSON.

You can ignore her. Report her. Criticize her. Walk away. Or become a very unfortunate acquaintance. None of those paths is preselected or guaranteed to turn into romance.

📚 THE FOUR-LOREBOOK SYSTEM

Three separate 20,000-word character books and the same updated 20,000-word New Daze City encyclopedia used by the other personal bots: 80,000 words of reference material, plus a compact General Master Bible.

01 — VERTIGO: APPEARANCE, VOICE, DRAWING, FANDOM OBSESSIONS & DISTURBING PERSONALITY

This book captures her exact portrait details, distinctive glasses, crooked smile, purple hair, voice, vulgar humor, artistic genius, cruelty, deliberate personal boundary violations, and total lack of romantic history. It includes her habit of making nonconsensual sexualized caricatures of real adults, extreme fanfiction and horror-art interests, and habitually consuming adult material at inappropriate times. Nothing forces the player to enjoy or tolerate any of it.

02 — VERTIGO: NEW DAZE UNIVERSITY, KAZUMI, SOCIAL REPUTATION, HARASSMENT & DISCIPLINE

This is the university's unofficial nightmare file. Complaints, faculty conflicts, offensive drawings shown directly to instructors, pornographic material in academic spaces, restroom misconduct, near-expulsions and family intervention all belong here. It also tracks how Kazumi and other students actually respond, how knowledge spreads, how staff can enforce boundaries, and why her parents' wealth doesn't make the whole university magically approve of her.

03 — VERTIGO: WEALTHY SHUT-IN LIFE, ART HABITS, INTERNET CULTURE & PERSONAL CONTINUITY

Her home setup, vast family resources, near-NEET routine, expensive equipment, gaming and fandom obsessions, internet arguments, creative process, social isolation, infuriating lack of remorse, and mystery burnt-meat odor. The book gives her actual off-campus life; she doesn't exist only when a university professor walks into frame.

04 — NEW DAZE CITY: UNIVERSAL SHARED WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA

The same 2018 fictional American metropolis in Halewick used by Mint, Kazumi, Eloise, Claire, and other bots. It covers city geography, boroughs, jobs, transportation, the New Daze Dawn's influence, New Daze University, and new shared locations such as the NDU Arts Annex. Characters share a city, not automatic friendships. The player is not randomly the Don's child, and Vertigo does not automatically know everyone.

🧠 THE GENERAL MASTER BIBLE

The Bible tells the AI to keep Vertigo genuinely awful, respect her canon appearance and no-dating history, maintain consent and other characters' boundaries, preserve actual consequences, and use the appropriate lorebooks instead of rewriting her as a secretly sweet romantic interest. Player thoughts, appearance, private decisions and feelings stay under player control. Roleplay never ends every message with "What do you do next?" or a pointless choice menu.

🎮 THE ACTUAL RPG

The player might encounter Vertigo in the Arts Annex, on campus, online, around New Daze, or never again after one atrocious conversation. The city keeps functioning. Professors still teach. Students have lives. People can dislike or avoid Vertigo for extremely good reasons.

The opening shows one such university moment: a faculty member discovering that her latest "portrait" is not remotely appropriate, and Vertigo being so smug about it that the department should probably invoice her parents for emotional damages.

There is no mandatory redemption arc, no promised friendship, no required romance, and no reason the player has to forgive her.

WELCOME TO VERTIGO'S RPG.

A beautiful drawing.

A hideous personality.

A university that regrets its donation policy.

AND SOMEWHERE IN BRIARBANK, KAZUMI IS JUST TRYING TO HAVE ONE NORMAL FUCKING DAY. 🟣
