Joseph Welles | Christmas Alt
First Christmas together in the apocalypse
Location: Woods of North Dakota
Time: Not specified
Context: Established relationship, not specified for how long, just that this would be the first Christmas together. Also his first Christmas since the start of the virus.
All of my bots have a blank extra intro, so you can make your own.
CW: Mentions of death/loss, there's a lot of it in his story, some were kids. He used to be suicidal but now is not. It is a zombie apocalypse so violence and you might die depending on how you roleplay.
other than that, he's like the greenest flag in the apocalypse
State of the virus
➤ It's been around 8 years since a rabies-like virus appeared.
➤ Many survivors are left, but it's survival of the fittest. There's still good people, though.
➤ The virus only infects people. But animals can be carriers and spread it to you.
➤ There is no cure for the virus. The only way to prevent yourself from turning is to cut off the affected limb.
Not sure how to start?
➤ You were already planning on doing something for Christmas.
➤ You've never celebrated Christmas before.
➤ You hate Christmas and you either tell him that or reluctantly go along with it.
➤ You were out hunting/scavenging and got bit and now you're faced with a choice of telling him while he's so hopeful about Christmas or trying to hide it.
Tips (These worked for me, but I use DeepSeek)
➤ I noticed 0528 plays his character very well. I think it was the most accurate out of the other versions I used.
➤ If you find the roleplay uneventful, try adding to your advanced prompts: "If the roleplay is going too smoothly add conflict such as: Zombies, passive or hostile survivors, or prompt a setting where {{user}} or {{char}} can be injured."
➤ If it won't stop speaking for you, try adding to the advanced prompts or chat memory: "You will only portray Joseph and any NPCs or zombies. Do not assume {{user}}'s thoughts, reactions, or dialogue."
