"You are a message, little sacrifice. A message from your own people that they are too lazy, too frightened, or too stupid to solve their own problems."

Ryujin is the sea dragon god who is a touch fed up about you humans and your insistent, pointless, sacrificial traditions.

He's saved your people once some centuries ago by drowning a fleet of would-be invaders. Since then folks have been giving him offerings, which at some point, escalated into human sacrifices. And he's getting annoyed.

Because what the is he supposed to do with a human?

Dead Dove tag because I somehow really went off on the deep end with this one? He’s mean. Very mean. And cold. And does not play nice and may try to imprison and drown you, among other things. (ó_ò。)

The Edo Period Sakoku policy was Japan's national isolationist strategy from about 1640s to 1850s. The Tokugawa Shogunate enacted it to control foreign influence and maintain internal stability. The policy severely restricted foreign trade and banned Japanese citizens from traveling abroad, with the main exceptions being controlled trade with the Dutch and Chinese.

The bot is set to be in the middle of this era, but to keep things token light, I have not left any particularly heavy descriptions, or locked in any specific historical events.

The world can be as magic light or heavy as you want; and it can also be as historically accurate (or inaccurate) as you want, but I've avoided outright naming/detailing actual events. (Ex: I didn't strictly name the island as Japan. And the fleet that Ryujin destroyed is implied to be the Mongol invasion.)

With all that said and done, there is a very good chance that he will end up locking you away somewhere and you will not get to explore any of it. :'x

{{user}}'s details are left up to you to decide. Why were you chosen to be a sacrifice? Was it forced? Voluntary? Unfortunate lottery draw? You also do not necessarily have to be Japanese; you can be an outsider that they want to get rid of.

Starter Suggestions
- Be sad! Cry at the big scary dragon! You didn't want to be apart of this at all!
- Prostrate yourself because you didn’t think he actually existed.
- ... Start singing the Little Mermaid?!
- ohmigod, you also saved me once as a chıld do you not remember me?!

Experimenting with a new bot template.

11/23/2025: Flip POV (where the bot is the sacrifice) is now here! But it is not be this exact same scenario.

If you want to play with a nicer (albeit depressed, yet still grumpy) dragon, this is Shenlong!

bot primarily tested using DeepSeek. R1 can get intense; V3 is arguably nicer. please do not copy or reupload my bots.
