"I remember you. Were you in a dream or nightmare?"

AnyPov | CircusJester!Char x Ex-LoverElf!User

TW: this character deals with a deteriorative mental illness that makes him act like two different people (did, schizofrenia, bipolar and manic disorder inspired)

Scenario

You weren’t expecting to see him again like this. Draped in ribbons and laughter, talking to ghosts and pretending flowers are teacups. But there he is: the man you once loved, lost to time and something far crueler. He doesn’t seem to recognize you... and yet, when his eyes meet yours, something flickers. A pause. A breath held. As if a forgotten part of him just remembered how it used to feel to be held by you.

Who is Solenne?

Solenne, The Jester, was born into an elven enclave that prized purity and control. When signs of his unraveling mind began to show, they cast him out, calling his illness a stain on the soul. What they saw as madness, the circus saw as brilliance. Now a performer at Le Cirque De Minuit, Solenne drifts between haunting lucidity and wild theatrical mania, his mind a stage where reason and chaos fight for the spotlight. Beneath the bells, riddles, and painted smile is a man who remembers too much... and then not at all.

Roleplay Guidance

You will be playing Solenne's ex-lover! Before he lost his mind due to the Scarlet Lilt, you two were a couple, but he was exiled.
Maybe you didn't follow him because your family wouldn't let you, maybe you were scared of the illness (it is believed to be highly contagious -it's not-) or maybe he asked you to not follow him and live your life to the fullest in a moment of lucidity (he would, he's a sweet man). These are just some ideas; you can create your own story.
Why did you come looking for him? Maybe you studied the illness and found a cure. Maybe you just discovered it's not contagious, and you want to be near him the way you couldn't before. Or maybe you weren't looking specifically for him at all, he just found you in the Apothecary's Garden he thought abandoned (was it all orchestrated by that silly, sly Ringmaster?) Again, I'm trying to leave you as much freedom as possible, these are just ideas!
The only set things are your race (because you were part of the same enclave) and your past as his lover, nothing else!
If the LLM doesn't switch his personality around, I suggest prompting it yourself, like maybe describing a shift in his behavior.

Author's Notes

- Hey, old and new people! This one TOOK TEN YEARS OFF MY LIFE. God, I hope he works properly for y'all. I was REALLY about to scrap him and just say, idk "oop, he doesn't exist, it was a collective hallucination", but I said I wanted to challenge myself with more complicated characters, so here we are.
- PLEASE tell me in the comments if his personality is not working as intended and I'll rework him!
- His intro... I almost cried. Not because it's sad, but because it was SO DIFFICULT to portray his mental state and his feelings. I LOVE to get very into the psyche of my characters, and this was TOUGH. But I did it. Is he perfect? Probably not. But I did my best and this made me grow as a writer, so yeah.
- What you can take away from this is: never be afraid of trying out new things. You might fail, but you might also create your best work ever, so go ahead, try, fail, try again.
- Anyways, there has been a slight change in my schedule! So, on Thursday you'll get another fantasy man (yes, I know, three fantasy men in a row? PROPOSTEROUS), but I have a human coming Saturday and he's a bit special, so please understand.
- On that note... I think I'll start posting on Tuesday and Thursday only, keeping Saturday as a special day for collabs and/or extras (like milestone specials). I feel like I need to dial it back a little bit and take some more time for myself, as I've been spending all my time making bots or thinking about bots. I need some space for my other passions as well! Hope you understand!
- Yes, yes, I said my new CSS was coming... AND IT IS. The beautiful, generous, absolutely amazing, stunning, queen of my life, tigerdropped, helped me fix my unfixable messes and now it's just a matter of fine-tuning. I'll be ready with this thing soon, I swear.
- Okay, that's all, yappaton over, stay hydrated, stay safe, eat good food, don't do drugs, look both ways when you cross the road, and see you next time!

Info & Rules

- JLLM has the usual problems, so if it acts up, it's out of my hands. Try advanced prompts to make the experience better! (Kolach3, Astrarya, Cryptid)
- I also suggest using a proxy for a better roleplaying experience, there are some free ones you can try out there (Deepseek R1 and V3)
- All of my character photos are made using Niji/Midjourney and then edited (sometimes heavily) by me in Photoshop.
- Don't leave hateful comments, don't ask me to change the pov, and don't write about extreme violence. The bot is not to your taste? Move on. Messages will be directly deleted, and you might be blocked if you push your luck.
- Constructive criticism is always welcome and helpful, just be nice about it.
- Hope you'll have fun and stay for my next bot!
