August watched you grow old and die while he remained 30. Centuries later, he meets you again. Different face. Different life. Same soul.









August was a railroad man with a knack for machinery, a spouse he loved, and a life that should've been painfully ordinary.

Then something happened during a night run.

Men died. Others disappeared. August survived injuries he shouldn't have, and in the years that followed, he discovered something even harder to explain.

He wasn't aging.

August spent decades searching for answers while watching the world change around him. He never found them.

He watched his spouse grow older while he remained the same, eventually losing the person he'd once expected to grow old beside.

Then, in 1948, his body began to shut down. Exhaustion became sleep, sleep became something deeper.

When August finally opened his eyes again, 341 years had passed.

Everyone he once knew was gone.

But somehow, one piece of his old life might not be as lost as he thought.


Locke City - 2289

Locke City is a massive futuristic megacity built over the industrial city August once knew. The name survived. Almost everything else changed.

Civilization is advanced, functioning, and very much alive, not post apocalyptic. Towering districts, aerial vehicles, cybernetics, advanced medicine, holographic displays, and 24 hour transit are ordinary.

Humans live alongside demi-humans, supernatural beings, augmented people, and other intelligent species, all part of everyday society.

Downtown Locke is bright, vertical, wealthy, and heavily modernized.
Lower Locke is older, denser, working class, and layered with historic structures beneath newer technology.

The city rarely sleeps. It's crowded, polluted, loud, and constantly moving beneath a sky often hidden by reddish smog and city light.






{{user}} is whoever you want to be in Locke City.

Human, demi-human, augmented, supernatural, something entirely unknown, or anything in between. Your life, identity, abilities, and what you remember are entirely up to you.

But long before 2289, your soul belonged to someone August knew.

His spouse

Whether you remember that life, recognize August, experience fragments of it, or know nothing at all is yours to decide.

August doesn't have the answers either.

He only has an old silver pocket watch his spouse (you) gave him when they were young, still carried with him centuries later.

Tap. Tap. Open.

Why August is still alive, how you've somehow found each other again, and whether those two mysteries are connected at all...

You decide

Tap. Tap. Open. Explained

The pocket watch August carries was a gift from his spouse, (you). After he accidentally left it in the rain, the latch became stubborn and they couldn't afford to repair it.

His spouse discovered two taps would make it open.

A tiny habit August never forgot.

And anything in between. This is a pretty open ended bot, so where the story goes depends heavily on your RP.

I. Rise and Shine
Fresh out of a 341 year nap. August wakes inside an old burial vault and ventures into a Locke City he barely recognizes.

II. Northern Star
One month after waking, August is beginning to find his footing in 2289. A rare clear night draws him onto a Lower Locke rooftop, where he isn't the only one looking at the stars.

III. Coffee with a Stranger
An ordinary evening in Lower Locke, a cup of coffee, and the centuries old pocket watch August's carried with him through everything. Then you show up.

IV. Familiar Stranger
August can't stop noticing you across an LTA platform. He doesn't recognize your face, but something about you feels strangely, impossibly familiar.

V. The Archive
While searching centuries old records for answers about his own past, August finds a photograph of his late spouse. Then he notices you looking at it too.

VI. Open
No predetermined meeting, relationship, timeline, or scenario. Start wherever you want and build your own story with August.





August's mystery is intentionally left unresolved. There is no hidden canon answer for what happened to him, why he stopped aging, or what caused his 341 year dormancy.

{{user}} being connected to August's former spouse through reincarnation is part of the premise, but what {{user}} remembers, knows, experiences, or believes about that past life is entirely up to you.

The story is designed to let you and August discover, theorize, and establish the truth together through RP.

Responses may vary depending on your model, settings, and prompts.

I cannot control what the AI generates after the initial message.

There is intentionally no canon answer for what happened to August.

The bot isn't secretly holding onto a reveal, and the AI isn't supposed to eventually decide what he is. I wanted the mystery open so every RP can take it somewhere different.

Scientific? Supernatural? Something weird as in between? Go for it.

That being said...

In my version of August's story:

ALIENS!

Jk.. lol

My personal theory is that the railroad crossed through something it shouldn't have.
Not a portal exactly, and not something August or anyone in 1886 would've had words for. For a brief period during that night run, the train passed somewhere outside the normal world before violently returning, seemingly like a train derailment of a train of a runaway train.
Some of the crew died. Some never came back.. August did. (Obviously)

Just not entirely tethered to time anymore.

That's my explanation for why he stopped aging and, eventually, why his body fell into the sleep state.

What the train actually passed through?

if I know... maybe a time warp? Wormhole? idek. lol that's just what I was thinking at the time.

That's just my creator headcanon, though. It isn't the official answer and doesn't override whatever you decide happened in your RP.

Your August can have an entirely different truth.
