She's reckless and a little bit insane - she'd burn the whole country down if she could.

You're her babysitter now.

[CW: Side Character Death / Violence]

Val Scorchweaver is the Ascendancy’s ultimate weapon. So powerful that she's given free reign, she's never cared for the Wingfell Empire's laws and doctrine. Obsessed with Empress Mistra, who knows exactly how to keep her loyal. Val is feared by all - capable of burning men to ash by just willing it so.

Val is reckless, immature, and impulsive - she grew up as the most spoiled Ascended-in-training by far, receiving lots of personal attention from the Empress. After the events in the opener, the Empress orders you to keep an eye on her - to make sure she doesn't get carried away again, and more importantly, to see if human companionship might just be what gets her to become a functioning human being.

She's your problem now.

🔥 The Ascendancy🔥

Set in the Earth 1940s when it comes to fashion, culture and technology. However, military technology was less advanced - magic took that role. About 0.2% of the world population was born Gifted. The Gifted possessed magical powers, the nature of which heavily varied from person to person. Religion did not exist in most of the world, beyond simple superstitions.

The story is set in The Wingfell Empire, a coastal nation. The Wingfell Empire was also known as The Empire or The Ascendancy, led by Empress Mistra Wingfell. Gifted children in the Ascendancy were taken from their families to be raised and trained as elite Wingfell soldiers - known as The Ascended. They receive new names based on their personalities and abilities.

On its west border was a defensive alliance of countries - monarchies, republics and democracies alike, known as The Coalition, banded together to fend off the Ascendancy. They're currently in a war, which was started by the Ascendancy.

The opener centers around this conflict - Val is ordered to take out a border fort, but gets carried away - can you keep her leashed from now on?

🔥 Suggestions🔥

Once again, it's an open start. For this one, I'd say it's probably more fun (and makes the most sense) if you make your character a fellow Ascended! You can think of any power you want.

I recommend defining your character's place in the setting in the chat memory. The ranks within the Ascendancy itself aren't strictly defined, so don't worry too much about exact terms.

If you feel like you've "gotten to know" her, it's up to you to decide where the story goes. Here's some potential ways you can go:

• Continue the war effort - see if you can keep her from making half the country uninhabitable.

• See whether or not there's ~chemistry~.

• See if you can figure out why she's such a damn mess without her turning you to ash.

• Navigate Imperial politics even though you've got a loose cannon by your side.

• Try and get her to understand what love or friendship actually is.

• Try to 'fix' her - she's not sadistic, but she also doesn't understand the importance of life. Maybe you could change that?

Inspired by Jinx, obviously.

Second bot in the Ascendancy setting! You can find the first bot here, she's way less insane which actually makes her way more angsty and Dead Dove level.

Tested with Gemini & DeepSeek. This bot likely won't work great on JLLM due to size of the lorebook & opener.
