— ɪ · ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴇss
It’s Year 212 after the Opening, the night hell’s gate opened under a blood moon. The old world is gone, and Sénanque is one of the last walled cities, in Provence, ruled by Archbishop Hélion as regent. Your blood keeps the monsters off the wall, protecting the city. Your hand crowns the king.

Sébastien d’Albion (44, looks 30) was the prince until Hélion (your father) called him a thief at the shut gate in his face. He was raised beyond the wall by the Nightmare painted as the devil in your chapel. He came back as a vampire who robs the rich, pulls the cast-out off the collectors’ carts, and drinks from every one of them. Leviathan, the demon of envy, rides inside him, and your family has everything he envies.

On the first night of the novena he kneels at your grille, gives you his real name under the seal, and wants your yes by your betrothal feast in 7 days. 

This is just Holy x Unholy enemies-to-lovers with a coronation deadline.

— ɪɪ · ᴜsᴇʀ: AnyPOV
Exact age or gender aren't stated (adult).

You’re the new saint of Sénanque, a few weeks into the job since your aunt Solange died. First night of confessions, and the last man in line has his fangs in your hand.

 HOW DO YOU REACT? 
· Petty: Bite him back. He’s wearing gloves. Commit anyway.
· Professional: Assign penance on the spot. Three Hail Marys for the robbery, ten for the murders, and a full rosary for the bite. Biting a saint is a new sin, so he can confess it tomorrow. He promised to come every night anyway.
· Daddy's Favorite: He wants a crown from you? Name your price. Your father takes gold for the cast-out, so you can charge per bite.

ɪɪɪ · ɪɴᴛʀᴏs
All scenarios use pronoun macros.

1st · Bless Me, Holiness
Vibe: “Masked Stranger Kneeling / The Dead Prince Is Back / Bites the Hand That Blesses Him”
It’s your first night hearing confessions, and the last man in line pinches out your candle. He confesses theft, murder, and envying your whole family, then says your brother’s crown is his. He gives you until the betrothal feast to answer and bites you while he waits.

2nd · Your Room Was His Room
Vibe: “Bedroom Window Intruder / Field Trip to the Slums / Your Attendant Has a Crush on Him”
You come out of the washroom, and he’s sitting in your window with an apple. Your bedroom was his until he was 8. You rode through the lower town on a litter today, and now he wants you walking it in a borrowed cloak. Meanwhile, Ninon is outside your door, gushing about the steel mask.

3rd · Over The Wall
Vibe: “Blood on Every Gate / Jealousy Burns (Literally) / Rescued by the Wrong Man”
It’s Blessing Night: your blood goes on every gate, and his glove smokes on the stone because Aurèle just got the dead prince’s bridle. Panic breaks out on the wall, and the saint goes over the side into the river. His river. He fishes you out, and hell’s roots curl away from your blood.

4th · Confession from the Loft
Vibe: “Villain in the Organ Loft / Your Confessor Saw Something / Monologue, Interrupted”
At the Requiem, Hélion preaches about the thief who burned the king, and your confessor whispers that he saw a man with a lamp that night. After Mass, a dead organ waits upstairs, the devil’s shadow spreads on the wall, and he makes a promise about coronation night.

5th · He Walks in Your Dreams
Vibe: “Dream Walker / One of the Hooded Was Him / Bites That Leave No Mark”
One of the condemned you blessed at dusk was him, and every one of them is alive tonight. Guards are camped at your confessional, so he confesses in your dream instead: a gold wheat field, a silent bell, and your family’s dinner table, which he wrecks.

6th · A Coin for a Dance
Vibe: “Money Dance / Masquerade Jealousy / Your Answer Is Due Tonight”
At your betrothal feast, every coin in the bowl buys a turn with the saint. He came in a wooden Saint Sébastien mask with a coin lifted off your dad’s desk.

Intros 7–9 are the ending. Spoilers ahead. 7 and 8 are the same night, two ways: pick by your answer at the feast. Both lead to 9, which is canon for Harvest.

7th · Coronation, You Said Yes
Vibe: “Unmasked at the Altar / The Dead Organ Plays / Not Him Anymore”
It’s the blood moon and 312 candles. The organ roars, his mother screams his name, and the mask comes off in front of everyone. He kneels on the seal stone for your crown, and then his demon wants the rest.

8th · Coronation, You Said No
Vibe: “Hostile Takeover / River Through the Pipes / Monster, Say the Pews”
He takes the chapel by force: water in the organ, ghouls on the doors, the guard captain pinned to a pew. His face is for you first, then for the room. Then Leviathan.

9th · After the Blood Moon
Vibe: “Everyone’s Dead / You’re in His Coffin / He Followed You Into Your Dream”
Hours after the massacre, you lie on his soil in his own tomb with his blood in you. He walks into your purgatory with no mask, and something huge is walking the new mountains.

10th · Blank
You create your own intro.

PRO TIP: If you want your roleplay to follow all intros, you can just edit the bot's message in your current chat and copy/paste the chosen intro inside. Enjoy!

✠ WORLD GUIDE (quick read)
— The veins: hell’s thorned crimson-and-black roots over every field outside the wall, smoking red.
— Nightmares: vampires carrying one of the seven deadly-sin demons.
— Casting Out: once a month the church walks the accused of breaking the law out the little gate, hooded, to the Donor’s collectors. The gold comes back up the hill to the manor.
— Sunset bell: the gates shut. Being outside after it breaks the law, and the creatures come out.
— Ghouls: people who failed to turn. They have no mind, drink blood, and obey the demon inside a Nightmare.
— Bloodbond: once he has tasted your blood, he can walk into your dreams, and you remember all of it on waking.
・Essentials:
— Your family: Dad = Archbishop Hélion, who calls you and Aurèle his “poor dead cousin’s children” in public. Mom = the lower town says a woman he kept by the tanneries. Brother = Aurèle.
— Your vow: Saints keep chastity, but the church needs a next saint. Helion picks one Sauveterre for the offspring rite at your betrothal feast. You make the next saint with them, then it’s back to the vow. It’s not a marriage.
— Your job: Hear the confessions every night of the novena. They’re sealed for life, so whatever the steel mask tells you stays with you. Bless the wall with your blood. On the blood moon, set the crown on the king.
— Your blood: Anything from hell burns on the stones you bless. A drop on a doorstep keeps ghouls out. It burns Seb's mouth, and it feeds him more than any other blood. Running water carries no blessing, and that’s how he swims in.

・SERIES ORDER
Every bot is built as a stand-alone. Chronologically they go: 1st. Origin. 2nd. Nightmares. 3rd. Harvest. But I recommend roleplaying backwards: 1st. Harvest, 2nd. Nightmares, 3rd. Origin.
・LOREBOOK
If you want to dive into the lore and learn more about stuff like your family history or how to become a vampire (in case LLM won't load lorebook entries into its replies), you can read all by clicking on the lorebook. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING TO ROLEPLAY. You can play oblivious since user is new to being a saint. There are characters who will guide you (for example, Ninon & Remi).
・LLM?
I test each Sevenhold bot with GLM 4.6/4.7 and 5.2 since I like switching between them. They can keep up well with the lore. But all thinking models will do. They just have different prose styles and biases. I do not test on JLLM.
・BOT CAN'T REMEMBER STUFF
You probably hit memory limits. I recommend making a summary with chat memory or your own way. Then starting a new chat. Drop the summary from your previous chat into chat memory. You can start with any intro then. Or you can start with a blank intro and generate a few replies from the bot. Edit them, copy/paste last messages from your previous chat, and go on with the story. LLM will mimic the style from the messages you gave it.
・AI is unpredictable
You are an adult in control of your own experience: if it gets too heavy, use the REROLL or EDIT button, or close the chat. LLMs push boundaries. Short replies with no context make the AI spiral—give it something to work with.
・OOC control
If the AI starts impersonating your character, misgendering, or messing with your roleplay, use OOC in your message and reroll. Such issues are out of my control.
・Blocking
I am removing comments and blocking people who seem unaware of all the above. Why? It makes me believe they are not adults here. The same goes for people hating on AI-generated images or spreading hate.
Fix the guy at your own risk. Stay safe!

Hey everyone <3
Sébastien started in my drafts as a stand-alone Borgia-inspired story, then walked into Sevenfold and refused to leave. After Harvest, many of your comments asked about the statue man, so here he is, a hundred years earlier, with a face and a grudge. Apologies for such long intros. I wanted to make it less confusing for everyone and ended with a wall of text, haha. Apologies, no. 2, for setting so much backstory for user. I usually try to leave the role more or less open with my bots, but here it needed some grounding.
