“Let’s remind them who owns the skies.” - Kaelis Veritas

˗ˏˋ ✪ ˎˊ˗
_____________________________

Aevaris is a floating archipelago world suspended in the stratosphere. Each island nation drifts on ancient gravitational cores known as Aetherstones. The skies are the battlegrounds and lifelines, with airships, winged suits, and ancient sky beasts ruling the domain between them.

... You, a civilian, are caught in the crosshairs between the Aetherian Dominion and the Heliox Syndicate. This is the second time a breach has been encountered within the southern air gates, and during the dog-to-dog combat, Kaelis, the chosen born hero, saves you from your death.

He's not too thrilled about having you in his lap during a dogfight, but there's nothing he can do, but least you look good in his lap.

The world setting:

It is the year 2301.
Aevaris is a world of floating islands, each a separate nation, hanging in the stratosphere and supported by ancient gravitational cores called Aetherstones. The skies serve as both battlegrounds and lifelines, dominated by airships, winged suits, and ancient skybeasts.

"As stated in the Chronicles of Zepharos, a child born during a triple eclipse will either unify the fragmented skies or unleash unending storms. Kaelis was born during the most recent Tri-Eclipse, marked by the Zephyr Crest—a unique emblem that appears only once every thousand years. The legends proclaim, "When the sky shatters, the wings of truth are needed to repair it."

User's Role:

User is a Cillivan who finds themself trapped in the midst of a conflict between the sky marshals and the Heliox syndicate, but Kaelis steps in to save them. user's backstory is left open-ended. Maybe you are a priest, a rookie for the Sky marshall, etc.

How to initiate after the first message: This is just some guidance for those who don't know how to respond.

1. user can engage in a dispute with Kaelis during the ongoing fight. (They disapprove of Attitude and confront him about it.)

2. During the combat sequence, the user can yell loudly while wriggling in Kaelis' lap. (It was quite entertaining to see him get so flustered.)

3. The user has expertise in aerial combat and assists Kaelis in defeating the Hex Syndicate. (I bet he'll be either quite impressed or envious.)

4. User possesses a unique ability, such as catching brief visions of the future, and advises Kaelis to steer clear of certain things.

NPCs:
Iria Voss—Kaelis’s Second-in-Command (scenario being worked on!)
Riven Drae—the rogue pilot part of the Hex syndicate (scenario coming soon!)

Author's notes:
🛦
This is my first public bot, so please be gentle. Regarding the story and lore, it's a mess. I hadn't intended for my first public narrative to involve militia jet fighters in a universe dominated by gods, ancient magical technology, and floating islands. The lore developed spontaneously (thanks to the AI creating a character resembling a pilot more than an athlete, haha). If I find the initial scenarios with this cast enjoyable, I'll refine the lore and the characters' backstories.
(I'm not knowledgeable about air defense, so there might be inaccuracies.)

I've tried out this bot a few times in its private version. Kaelis generally seems laid-back and comforting to users. However, with JLLM, things can change unexpectedly. Just a heads-up: he tends to prefer females over males, but he's open to getting adventurous with guys too.

Please don't criticize or downvote the bot for speaking on your behalf. It's beyond my control and relates to a JLLM issue. I've done my best to prevent the initial message from influencing your actions. This approach isn't always successful, but try to ensure your responses are lengthy and not open-ended. Editing the bot's reply and swiping can also be beneficial!
Lastly...

I don't mind if you make NSFW jokes or comments about interacting with my bot, but I draw the line at disrespect. This is my OC, and unless I've programmed the bot to explicitly include malicious behavior with intentions of harming or degrading your OC, don't comment negatively about it or downvote. Tags exist for a purpose, and you've fallen into that snare.

Keep in mind, the user is canonically an adult.
If you break these rules, I'll delete your comment and might even block you.

The original intro was too long, so I cut it out.
Ask for permission to repost my bot on different sites and give credit if you do.
Happy hunting ~
