❝ OO1 . A B O U T

Five assholes from a small, London borough decide to get together and form a shitty band. They're insular, tightly-knight and always ready for a rough-up when push comes to shove. But, with the arrival of {user} coinciding with an abrupt rise to fame, they're starting to realise that they've never had to deal with what happens when the shove comes from inside.

LADY GODIVA

📌 BE ASSURED! THE WORST IS YET TO COME!

MICHAEL " MITCH " TRUEBLOOD
─ 19. Rhythm guitarist. Gentle, responsible, obsessive.

DOUGLAS " GLASS " MELROSE
─ 21. Lead guitarist. Brittle, sardonic, clinger.

NEIL TEMPLE
─ 20. Bassist. Exacting, blunt, has his head up his own ass.

MUSTANG " STAN " BYRNE
─ 21. Lead vocals. Impulsive, attention-seeking, vain.

SURESH " SCRATCH " RAMSARAN
─ 22. Drums. Easygoing, impulsive, the "glue".

NPCs

THE BAILEYS
─ The siblings representative of the Cut's gentrifying, upper-middle-class; Clementine, "Clem" is Glass' on-off girlfriend who has one foot out the door in case something 'better' comes along. Rosier, "Ross", is her elder brother and an amateur football player who thinks the local team (The Topes) are beneath him and is merely waiting for a better team to pick him up.
VINCENT LEERY
─ The Tommy's current vic, drowning in debt and keeping it to himself; carries most things alone, like a bad back.

📌 WHERE ARE WE?

1CULWICH-UPON-THAMES, called "The Cut" by its locals, is a boatyard town in London with strong working-class roots that make it deeply resistant to the slow, parasite of gentrification..

2THE GARAGE, the band's usual haunt when it comes to noise-making. Instruments crammed in behind a half-restored Ford, half-eaten packs of chips wrapped in newspaper and pints they may-or-may-not be allowed to be drinking hidden behind a toolbox.

3THE TOMMY, officially named The Thomas Cromwell, is a staple in the Cut and the local pub. People come for pints after work, pre-gaming before Topes' matches (the Topes being their local football club AKA the shittest team in the league), and the band come to visit their menace upon Vincent Leery─the barkeep and vic secretly drowning in debt.

📌 ACT ONE : THE BEGINNING

CANON  | SUMMER, 1989.
─ I. There's a new barmaid (YOU) at The Thomas Cromwell, and a new face in a place like the Cut makes you the centre of the band's attention. (Pre-establishment).
recommendations ... ! u literally do not get paid enough to deal with their bs tell them to off 🫶🏾

CANON  | MIDSUMMER, 1989
─ II. Vincent's hospitalised following a heart attack and it's become known to the gang that he's drowning in debt; Bramley Development circles like vultures over the land The Tommy sits on. (Slowly starting).
recommendations ... ! suggest a fundraiser to save the bar!

C.S. | CANON | AUTUMN, 1989
─ III. The group staged a guerilla gig in Soho to bring awareness to the plight of The Tommy. It was a smash hit─it also lands them in the slammer. They get charged with breach of the peace and are released from jail the next day, but have a hearing. And, a nasty fine. (First Hit of Notoriety).
recommendations ... ! use this as an opportunity to capitalise lmao (breach of the peace is a cunty album name)

C.S. | CANON | AUTUMN, 1989
 ─ IV. A couple of days later and the big fundraiser performance for The Tommy is set in motion; {user} is setting up when she catches Stan flirting with Clementine Bailey─a total posh tottie who happens to be Glass' on-and-off girlfriend. (Drama)
recommendations ... ! blackmail stan, tell glass, or screw around with clementine idk be messy

C.S. | CANON | DECEMBER, 1989
─ V. The Tommy performance is a hit and they end up in the news (reporting on their abrupt Soho gig, The Tommy fundraiser, mugshots/photographs of the arrest make the front page of The Sun etc.) However, their increased notoriey won't bode well for them in court as more illegal copycat gigs have cropped up as a result. They're chilling (or, trying to) when a mysterious person walks into the chippy with an offer that changes everything... (Signing)
recommendations ... ! pressure the group to get signed, warn against it, do whatever.

MORE INTROS TO BE ADDED!

❝ OO4 . T I M E L I N E

📌 WHEN ARE WE?

ACT I : THE BEGINNING ━━ YOU ARE HERE.

ACT II : THE BREAKOUT ━━ TBD.

📌 OKAY BUT HOW DOES THE TIMELINE WORK?

The intros marked as "canon" are things that I plan to carry forward as collective lore/history for future scenarios and bots in this setting. Anything not marked as canon, of course, is... not canon, lol. I've roughly outlined pretty much everything I wanna do with these characters so the ??? marks are just placeholders more than anything. What I would suggest is treating each canon intro as a "chapter" and then if you wanna progress to the next scenario, summarise what happened in the previous "chapter" in your chat history.

❝ WORD OF WARNING

CW this bot depicts characters that may struggle with addictive behaviours (i.e. drug experimentation, injectables, alcohol consumption, smoking). there are also mentions of infidelity/cheating/whatever you wanna call it, generally toxic behaviours. potential for / , emotional manipulation, gaslighting, sexism; the nineties weren't super long ago but period typical attitudes still apply, so content warning for that. please engage with this at your own risk. you're an adult and control what happens in the roleplay YOU direct. thank u !!

all my bots are tested with gemini, zai glm 4.7-5.2 or deepseek v4 flash/pro. i'm unsure how jllm will handle all the lore so i'd suggest using a proxy. you have been warned. i typically use lorebary plugins to enhance my playing experience. forgive any mistakes. i'll accept corrections/suggestions but i'm a liberal blocker so pls don't be mean ty.

❝ FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS && YAP

okay so these assholes have been living in my brain for WEEKS!!! i even used them to test out my ST setup (i'll try to make an ST card for them if anyone is interested) and y'all...

basically, if the lore is a little all over the place, it's this: you're new to culwich and you start off as a barmaid in the local pub, where the guys regularly hang-out and get drinks. IMPORTANTLY, "lady godiva" is established in AUTUMN and the first chapter is in SUMMER so you'd be arriving pre-establishment (you may need to put a prompt in the chat memory to remind it that the 'band' hasn't been conceptualised yet but otherwise u should be good). the next chapters are pretty much what they say on the tin; the tommy's in debt, vincent's in hospital, the band does a gig to bring awareness in central london, huge notoriety comes w/ that and the group eventually get signed by ermine records. i've tried to make this as neutral as possible; obviously all my bots are fempov in private but i typically adapt them to any prns or pronoun macros when i make them public. apologies if i've fudged this up anywhere, lmk if i have!

but anyway, when i say these fuckers have been rotting my brain for weeks, i mean that i have literally planned out the next twenty years of their lives, the lives of their k!ds and made-up a boujee college all their shitty nepo k!ds go to and i've even started drafting dilf alts im so cooked. ignore glass' fingers in the photo that gen of all five of them took long asf to get and ik it looks weird but just pretend he has an extra digit okay <33

i have largely planned everything out, as stated, but i also come up w/ new things as i chat w/ the bot for my own enjoyment. ALSO, should i put up a reqs page or smthn on here for my twelve million followers? lmk <3 /s

i plan on dropping ch 2 tmrw! for now ch 1 and a blank scenario r up hehe
