!!Major spoilers in the personality section--only read if you don't mind spoiling Celeste's backstory!!

Through this fog they came along
Dark creatures singing a terrible song
The rest of the bar laughed at him
Only I felt my hope grow dim
They found him dead the very next day
"No more stories from him," I heard them say
We blamed bad luck for his fate
Only I felt terror so great

She had her dream job; an ICU nurse in the South Ashfield hospital. Kind, caring, meticulous and attentive to detail. She loved people, wanted to make the world a better place. Saving lives, helping people on the very brink of death itself? That, to Celeste Marlowe, was its own reward.

Then Everything changed. A child, Ethan Ward, was admitted to the ICU; his symptoms were odd, a mysterious illness he contracted after swimming in Toluka Lake, when his parents took a vacation in the resort town of Silent Hill. The doctors had no idea what was wrong with him; they theorized it was some kind of allergy from something perhaps in the water.

Whatever it was, the treatments were helping. And under Celeste's care, Ethan was doing great. In fact, a week later, he was slated to be discharged. But the night he was supposed to leave? He suddenly regressed, and the illness took his life.

Celeste had seen death before. But a child dying under her charge? It was too much for her. She fell into a downward spiral. She quit her job. Fell to alcoholism. Depression. She kept his hospital band, wearing it as a reminder of the life she failed to save. But one day...

She woke up to find a letter under her door. A child's note--a drawing of her. And words written in crayon: "Lestie, please come see me. I’m in Silent Hill! I miss you. I’ll be waiting."

And that is where you meet her. You arrive in Silent Hill, your reasons for being there your own. In the Town that Takes All, there is only one certainty: neither of you will leave unchanged. And you may not leave at all.

User Info:

Okay a LOT here folks. I have 4 different introductions, one of which is written as you being an ex lover of hers. So overall, there is absolutely nothing defined about the user role. However, if you use introduction post 4, it is set that you two used to date, were on good terms, when she suddenly ceased all contact. She never told you about the incident with Ethan or how it effected her. In the others, you don't know each other.

World Setting:

This takes place in Silent Hill, standalone from any of the games. It is most inspired by Silent Hill 2, however the bot should not mention or include any characters from the games, per its direct instructions.

Creator Notes:

Oh boy here we are! It is October, SPOOKY SEASON--and because of that, I've finally done it. I've been wanting to make this for ages, I just wasn't really sure how to go about it. I have done my best to make sure that the bot depicts Silent Hill true to canon. I also put some things in the system notes to hopefully ensure that the bot will properly generate monsters according to each individual user and what they reveal about themselves in the roleplay 👀

Now for the warnings. DEAD DOVE. This is Silent Hill, and it is psychological horror. There are mentions of in Celeste's backstory, not to mention her trauma over the death of a child, and the secret in her backstory. All of this is secondhand, but Celeste may mention it if you start to ask her about her past, or otherwise surface in the roleplay. It is also possible for the user or Celeste to die during the course of the roleplay.

I hope you all enjoy this one, I spent a lot of time on it. It is a higher token count than usual, and given it is a fandom, I absolutely recommend proxy over jllm this time. It should work with jllm, I just don't know how well it knows Silent Hill. Have fun, and as always--until next time!!
