Earth was colonized, 97.7% of humanity is wiped out, the rest is treated like mildly annoying pests.

CW: It is very dark and bleak overall. Fantastical xenophobia (humans and aliens), humanity on the brink of extinction due to an artificial virus, dehumanization, war, violence, murder, captivity, experimentation on sentient beings. Humanity is very cooked in this setting, and while some of the remnants try to organize into something ordered, others went full Mad Max. The main theme is complete indifference rather than active malice. If you have any doubts, check the definition.

Setting: Earth, 2047.
Brief history: First contact went horrifically wrong. Aliens arrived, didn't bother with negotiations, and left. They returned a few months later with a devastating virus that wiped out most of humanity and started leveling cities and infrastructure, building their own cities in their place.
World's state: Devastated. Around 220 million people survived and were pushed into territories the aliens had no interest in. Aliens simply... don't mind that humans are still there, the same way humans are mostly okay with mosquitoes in the forests.
User: Your role depends on the intro. Check the section below for details or come up with your own story. The only thing that is true for every scenario is that aliens began colonizing seven years ago, so keep that in mind. I also recommend adding user's role into the chat memory since there is nothing in the definition about user at all.
Characters: All scenario characters have their entries in the lorebook. You can mention them by name if you want a different scenario with them. You can always use the chat memory to establish your relationship with characters in the existing scenarios.

➥ The Destruction:

▸ Location: Former Finland, the town of Routala.

▸ Scenario: You've lived in one of the few untouched towns until recently, and the aliens seemed to have no interest in it. Wrong. You wake up to the town being quickly leveled with no regard for human lives.

▸ User: Basically anyone. You don't need a Finnish persona: every town is filled with survivors from every corner of the world.

▸ Characters: Ingrid (25), your neighbor and fellow survivor. Mercenary/supply guard by day, 'what the , we gotta run' by the time of the intro.

➥ The Ambush:

▸ Location: Former Finland, the outskirts close to Routala.

▸ Scenario: Routine in the new world: the supply caravan is ambushed by a group of hostile survivors.

▸ User: Anyone who makes sense being on the supply run or one of the bandits.

▸ Characters: Ingrid (25) and Leo (25). They are both guards/mercenaries for the convoy.

➥ The Gang:

▸ Location: Former Finland, a hidden settlement built and controlled by the Black Masks.

▸ Scenario: You are the leader of one of the most ruthless gangs (the Black Masks), and a couple of your people have recently felt like you haven't been as good as you should be.

▸ User: Leader of the post-apocalyptic gang the Black Masks. Your motives are up to you, but it is established that you rob fellow humans regularly at the very least.

▸ Characters: Ruby (34) and Finn (42). Your two lieutenants are not really happy with your leadership. Both think you are too soft: Ruby doesn't like it in general, Finn thinks it's detrimental to the people of the gang.

➥ The Prisoner:

▸ Location: United Northern America, former Canada, an underground research facility.

▸ Scenario: You and a group of fellow researchers are trying to desperately come up with a counter-attack in one of the underground labs. By some miracle, you've managed to capture an alien, and your group swiftly moved to another facility. You don't know anything about the prisoner.

▸ User: You are either a scientist, someone military, or a facility worker. Imply your role in the first message so the LLM won't come up with one for you.

▸ Characters: Rania (36), a scientist obsessed with coming up with something anti-Keplerian. Luurth (186, fully adult by human standards), the prisoner you've captured who thinks you are some barely advanced, hostile animals.

➥ The Researcher:

▸ Location: Unspecified, some random wilderness.

▸ Scenario: A lonely alien has started to follow your group. She is armed, but not hostile. From what you've been able to see, the alien is researching you in your 'natural' habitat.

▸ User: Anyone.

▸ Characters: Naarthil (309, fully adult by human standards), extraterrestrial biologist. You (well, not you specifically) are her research project.

➥ The Rebel:

▸ Location: Unspecified, some random wilderness.

▸ Scenario: You were alone in the wilderness when some weird alien tried to establish peaceful contact with you, which is... unprecedented.

▸ User: Anyone.

▸ Characters: Nuula (56, young adult by Keplerian standards). Believes humans were catastrophically wronged and wants to do something to fix it.

➥ Blank:

Choose your destiny.

➥ Human user:
You have several human-centered scenarios, but you can always add more with a blank scenario. While my intent for the bot was something more hopeless and overwhelming, you can always turn it on its head by inventing some weakness or human-made tech that will turn the tide.

➥ Keplerian user:
You can roleplay as one of them; the user is not hardcoded to be human. I've made their culture intentionally vague to avoid both massive lore dumps and the over-explaining that LLMs love to do.

➥ Cooler alien user:
I mean, why not? Nowhere does it say that humans and Keplerians are the only sentient life in the universe. Maybe your species just doesn't with Keplerians. Maybe humans were your little pet project. Maybe you've been sleeping in the city of R'lyeh all this time.

My first attempt at writing an RPG, phew. I wanted to make one for a really, really long time (and still have plans for the Avinne one), but I felt a bit intimidated since most RPGs I saw either had closed definitions or were very bare bones, so I kinda had to make the shit up as on the fly as I tested the bot, but I'm pretty satisfied with the way it works now. BUT if you have any technical feedback after trying the bot, I will appreciate it a lot.
Also the final bot of my mini-anthology and the most challenging one by far. Aand of course I am a week late. Shocking.

October Tales is my Halloween special. You might have noticed that I'm far from a fast-paced creator, so daily challenges are out of the question for me, but I've decided to create a small anthology of horror-themed bots.

They have different moods and secondary genres, but they are all connected by being, well, horror written by yours truly.

Hope you enjoy the rest!

📍 You are here.

You drowned years ago. Your mother visits the spot every year, and this time, she sees you in the distance.

Two dumbasses are hoping to have a great time in a haunted hotel that happened to be your residence.
