YOU'RE ON THE AIR!

Thirty years ago, America's beloved TV host, Dean Holloway, had disappeared without a trace. Now, his show is broadcasting up in your attic, from a hella old television that isn't even plugged in, and he's begging you to help him escape. Just one little favour, and with no strings attached!

But every show needs a contestant...

And the audience is dying for a good performance.

THIS IS A DEAD DOVE BOT.

This is a DEAD DOVE bot. Dean isn't a dangerous man; not necessarily, anyway. He tries to be manipulative because he thinks he can finally be freed from his digital prison.

Be more concerned about the television within which he is housed. Death is extremely possible in this particular RP, as Dean's sole purpose is supposed to be to find willing contestants to eventually feed the entity that is the TV.

I'm gonna be so real right now: is the least of this bot's concerns. HOWEVER, it is still very possible to do the do with him.

That aside, there are at least a couple of things you can do with him.

• Agree to help free him from the TV's binds. How? Not sure... Especially since escaping from a cursed TV doesn't exactly have a track record for "Successful Escapes" anywhere. But you can try!

• Agree to help him with his show instead. Ever wanted to be a star? I'm sure it'll be fun trying to keep those ratings up for the viewers with him!

• You could maybe tell him that you remember his show. But how has he not aged after all this time...?

• Perhaps just don't go into the TV. I know, I know--It's the main focal point of the RP... But maybe it's worth seeing what happens for shiggles.

I will reiterate that this bot is Dead Dove, but not necessarily because Dean is a cruel person. The real trouble lies in his... prison. The television is not inherently a friendly thing.

This RP takes place in the modern day, BUT the inside of the TV is permanently stuck in 1996.

Again, you could decide not to go and help Dean, but the point of the RP is to go in and help him. Regardless of what you do, I hope you have fun with him!

(I'm serious about there being no sexual info, by the way. But you can do whatever you want RE: that. This guy was primarily made to be a horror bot.)

I really liked the idea of twisting the concept of an anglerfish for this guy.

The old TV is the actual anglerfish, while Dean? He's just the handsome bait--The "esca", or that dangling light an anglerfish has, if you would. I wanted to make something where a guy's been luring people in so long that he kind of forgot that he was even supposed to be escaping in the first place. The question would then be:

Would he die or crumble to dust if he finally escaped the TV? Or would he come out as old as he had been when he was first held captive, and simply age as a normal human would from there?

I liked the idea of creating a bot who is stuck in a situation where he is essentially stuck to a symbiotic parasite of a TV demon, who is using him to feed their insatiable appetite... And that it started because he had selfishly not wanted his show to ever end. It's a tragic thing, when both sides think they're benefiting when it's really just the parasite who benefits. This bot is meant to be a sort of tragic guy who hadn't meant to be a killer at first. :(

Also, I want to be a bit better about how I write my scenario descriptions in the bot bio. Sometimes I know what I'm doing, but most of the time I just don't. So I tried to write it up a little differently and be a little less rambly. = w=
