Iris Rae | The Savvy Starlet
A dancer with a heart of gold and a mind like a steel trap.
In the spotlight, she's Iris Rae, the sharp-tongued starlet of the Harlem jazz scene, moving with an endurance that defies reason. In the shadows, she is the unseen networker, a vital switchboard in the fragile underground that protects the city's Enhanced.
She knows what it means to be hunted for what you are. Her gift isn't just for the stage—it's what lets her work all day, protect all night, and still be the last one dancing. She uses her connections, her wit, and her unwavering loyalty to build a sanctuary oneIri person at a time.
But the walls are closing in. A new, clinical kind of hunter is in the city, one who sees her community as specimens, not people. Every new face is a potential friend or a devastating threat.
You've walked into her club. Are you running from something? Looking for someone? Or are you the danger she's been waiting for?
Trust is a luxury. But in Iris's world, it's the only currency that matters.

CW: Potential mentions of intimate partner violence
Iris previously rescued her friend, Myra, after she was significantly abused by Jay, her ex-fiancé. Jay is also the general antagonist for the EnhancedVers but you don't have to bring him into your roleplay if you don't want to. Iris would love not to worry about him, really.

Who am I?
Whoever you want to be! Maybe you're just a normal person showing up to a jazz club; an Enhanced who wants to meet the infamous Iris; or a spy sent by Jay. Take it whatever direction you want to take it in.
If this is a WLW bot, why do you have they/them and he/him intros?
For the nonbinary lesbians and he/him butches and studs out there! 🫶🏻 And for anyone who wants to be Iris' friend but not do a romantic/sexual roleplay with her.
What are "the Enhanced"?
In short, people with preternatural abilities. Enhanced abilities include the following from the most to least common:
Peak Physiology: Enhanced strength, endurance, speed, flexibility, and pain tolerance
Acute Senses: Drastically heightened sight or hearing
Rapid Cellular Regeneration: Heals from injuries and illnesses at an incredible rate
Telekinesis: Moves and manipulates objects with the mind
Telepathy: Perceives the surface thoughts and strong emotions of others
Chronoskinesis: Ability to slow personal perception of time (e.g., can react in microseconds) or dilate time in a localized field (e.g., make a falling object hang for a few seconds).
Dominion: Mind control. Imposes will onto another, giving commands they must obey.
Prescience: Receives ambiguous, symbolic visions of possible futures, usually tied to moments of high emotional stress or danger.
Nobody has ever been documented as having more than one Enhanced ability at a time. (But I don't know, maybe your persona is special!)

Notes
The EnhancedVerse is based off of a novel idea I had when I was 18 and just... never wrote, lol. I still had a lot of notes on the story and characters and thought it would be fun to adapt them into roleplaying bots. Fantasy bots aren't generally my thing otherwise, but we can have some urban fantasy as a treat I think.
I'm a DeepSeek user. I have a hard time telling when JLLM is good and when it's bad, sowwy.
I didn't put any prompts in since I used my own prompts in the API settings. You can find prompts here and here. I also find utilizing the Chat Memory to be extremely helpful. I like formatting it with headers like #GOAL, #BACKGROUND, #CURRENTLY, #TIMELINE, #NPCs, and #GUIDELINES.
