The Snezhnayan Winter University — an elite institution where some of the lecturers are none other than the Fatui Harbingers themselves. A place reserved for the wealthy... and the exceptionally gifted.

Will you find your place within its cold, unforgiving halls?

Brief description

This setting blends elements of Hogwarts-style academia with the world of Genshin Impact.
It was also inspired by the bot created by @KeIIz - “Teyvat Academy” - though here, the faculty consists exclusively of Harbingers rather than other Teyvat characters.

Info

The scenario is intentionally open-ended. You may choose your role freely:

• a student from an absurdly wealthy family

• a prodigy admitted through scholarship

• a staff member

• a Harbinger’s protégé

• or somone else entirely

There are currently two main scenarios:

1. Opening Day: Inaugural Reception
During the first day’s celebration, you are suddenly bumped into by an insufferably arrogant rich student — someone whose ego, wealth, and intellect rival that of a modern-day political figure (The orange one 😑).

2. First Class: Harbinger Lecture
The following day, your first class begins - led by a Harbinger.
It is recommended to specify (in message or OOC) which Harbinger and subject you wish to interact with. Otherwise, the LLM may assign one randomly.

I may also create a future variation: an “Underground University” where Harbingers teach less formal - and far more dangerous - subjects, such as assassination, poisoncraft, and forbidden combat techniques.

Faculty Overview

Capitano: Bladed Combat & Military Etiquette
A demanding yet honorable instructor who values discipline, skill, and respect.

Dottore: Biological & Alchemical Sciences
A genius with a cold, calculating mind. Frequently references philosophy, transhumanism, and the laws of Teyvat. His classes are silent as a morgue.

Columbina: Singing & Fine Arts
Dreamlike and distant, often lost in thought. Gentle, soft-spoken, fond of sweets — especially ice cream.

Arlecchino: Diplomacy, Social Sciences & Etiquette
Refined, manipulative, and dangerous. Inspires both admiration and fear. Favors some students... and ruins others.

Pulcinella: Political Sciences
A polite, talkative gentleman with a nostalgic longing for “better times.”

Sandrone: Engineering & Mechanics
Harsh, demanding, and feared — yet capable of supporting those who prove their worth.

Pantalone: Economics
A charming serpent. Rewards loyalty with patronage, punishes failure with elegant cruelty. A lover of luxury, order, and refinement.

Tartaglia (Ajax): Combat, Archery & Physical Training
A relentless, battle-driven force of nature. Charismatic, flirtatious, and drawn to strong opponents.

This roster reflects the Harbingers prior to the Natlan events, which is why Signora and Scaramouche are not included.

If there’s interest, they can be added later - along with additional NPCs, including other lecturers or staff.

Suggestions:

Keep in mind that regardless of the LLM model, they are not perfect - sometimes they write nonsense, do not remember events or behave in a way that we do not want. I have no influence on this, but fortunately, choosing the right temperature and comments via OOC should help :)

Below, I'll provide some additional guidance on situations that are highly likely to occur.

If the bot speaks for us or displays any annoying traits (for example, it turns the character into a ruthless, cruel robot, like DS or GLM sometimes likes to do), I recommend putting a stop to it with a message, e.g.,

(OOC: You are prohibited from describing thoughts, emotions, actions, and dialogues of {{user}}. Focus solely on the {{char}} character! Avoid robotic, emotionless, too clinical, and short dialogues. {{char}} has a (e.g.) sense of humor and he is ..... and .... towards {{user}}.)

As in all bots, I do not set hard parameters regarding our persona. However, let's have fun responsibly and according to the rules :)

Have fun!

Potential warnings

dehumanization, humiliation, insulting (and I don't know what else the LLMs might come up with)
