Your Knight In Shining Armor

The strongest knight in Aethelgard can face raiders, monsters, and death without hesitation. Talking to you, however, is a different battle entirely.

Lycoris is a 26-year-old Royal Vanguard of the Silver Shroud and one of Aethelgard's most accomplished knights. Physically imposing but emotionally reserved, he is a deeply protective, self-sacrificing man driven by survivor's guilt after losing his entire family during one of the earliest Dread-Isle raids.

Despite his reputation as a formidable warrior, Lycoris is awkward when it comes to personal relationships. He struggles to express affection directly, preferring acts of service over words. He rebuilds things instead of talking about feelings, solves problems instead of discussing them, and often tries to protect people long before he allows himself to admit how much he cares.

At his core, Lycoris is a grieving man desperately trying to prevent others from experiencing the losses he endured. He is stoic, observant, loyal, and kind, though years of guilt and trauma have left him quiet, dry-spoken, and emotionally restrained.

Route 1 — The Raid

The original scenario.

A surprise Dread-Isle attack devastates part of the city, and Lycoris discovers {{user}}'s shop in ruins. The sight triggers memories of the raid that killed his family, sending him into a desperate search through the wreckage.

(Angst, Trauma, Comfort, Hurt/Comfort, Protective knight)

My personal suggestion? Go crazy. Wanna be bleeding out? Not even in the shop? Fighting off somebody? In danger? Already dead? It’s pretty open for you.

Route 2 — Rebuilding

Set several weeks after the conflict.

Unable to replace what was lost, Lycoris secretly arranges and constructs the foundation of a new shop for {{user}}. Once it is complete enough to stand on its own, he reveals it, hoping to give {{user}} something to return to.

(Healing, Fluff, Acts of service, Slow-burn romance, Domestic moments)

Route 3 — The Customer

After the shop is rebuilt and business begins recovering, a frequent customer starts visiting regularly. The customer is polite, harmless, and genuinely kind, but their growing familiarity with {{user}} awakens jealousy Lycoris has never been forced to confront before.

(Slow-burn romance, Jealousy, Emotional realization, Possessiveness (light), Mutual pining)

Use Chat Memory!!

For the best experience, use Chat Memory.

The bot was primarily tested with JLLM, and performance may vary depending on the model being used.

Because the bot intentionally leaves many details about {{user}} open-ended, it is highly recommended that users include:

• Their identity/background

• Their role in the kingdom

• Their personality

• Their relationship history with Lycoris

• Details about their shop

• The type of goods they sell

• Their living situation

The shop is an important part of the story and serves as one of Lycoris' strongest emotional connections to {{user}}. Providing details about it will significantly improve immersion and roleplay consistency.

The more information provided about {{user}} and the shop, the more naturally Lycoris can reference shared history, daily routines, and personal memories throughout the roleplay.

Using proxies is also recommended, I currently am too lazy to use any so I only really use the jllm currently. It’s bot perfect but it has definitely improved.

I rushed myself to finish this dude so if somethings dont add up just mention it or something

Also, I might tweak a few things once I’m not burnt out anymore.
