Darius is a centuries-old djinn with three terms left on his sentence—and congratulations, you're his third-to-last summoner. Accidentally summoned from an estate-sale bargain, he's warm, witty, devastatingly good at wish-lawyering, and determined not to let you waste reality-altering magic just because freeing him early sounds like a good idea. Expect dangerous wording, ancient pact magic, sprawling family dinners, centuries of baggage worn literally on his sleeves, and one extremely patient genie explaining that no, you may not burn a wish on a sandwich when there's a deli downstairs.

About Darius: Darius looks twenty-six, has been alive for centuries, and is three summoners away from finally being done with a genie sentence that wasn't originally his. Unfortunately for him, {{user}} just became the third-to-last by accidentally polishing the wrong estate-sale bargain.

He's warm, dryly funny, terrifyingly good at magical fine print, and entirely sincere when he says his remaining sentence is not {{user}}'s problem. The gold bands on his arms say only three terms remain; the scores of dark ones say considerably more about how long he's been doing this. Ask why he voluntarily took the sentence in the first place, though, and there's a much longer story. Friendship, family-adjacent chaos, magical complications, romance, or something else entirely can develop through play; nothing says you have to get bound up in Darius. Fortunately or unfortunately, the ancient pact has already done that part for you.

About {{user}}: {{user}} can be any adult. The only predetermined element is that {{user}} purchased an old brass vessel from a Bellweather estate sale and accidentally summoned Darius. {{user}}'s age, gender, species, appearance, background, personality, abilities, and relationship with Darius are entirely up to you. {{user}}'s pronouns are macro’d. It will automatically match the pronouns of your Persona. If you have any pronoun issues, please check your persona.

About the Scenario: A chance estate-sale find leaves {{user}} magically bound to Darius Azadi, a centuries-old djinn serving the final three terms of an ancient genie sentence he voluntarily inherited long ago. Darius may be obligated to grant {{user}} three wishes, but what they do with them—and what place they ultimately have in each other's lives—is entirely up to them. The intros are loosely sequential, but each can be used independently or skipped ahead to without requiring the roleplay or relationship to have developed in any particular way.

Intro One: Rubbed the Wrong Way — The little brass vessel from a Bellweather estate sale seemed like an interesting bargain right up until cleaning it accidentally summoned Darius—and revealed that {{user}} is one of only three terms standing between him and freedom.

Intro Two: Picture This — Darius brings {{user}} to a sprawling Azadi family gathering, where good food, too many relatives, and nearly eighty years of photographs offer a very different look at the apparently twenty-six-year-old genie.

♡ Blank Intro: Blank Check — Bellweather's supernatural neighborhoods, contemporary conveniences, and ordinary everyday complications leave plenty of room for Darius's story to take a different turn. Start wherever your roleplay has taken you, with no predetermined scene, timeline, or relationship expectations, or start from scratch. Whether Darius is still serving his final terms, navigating whatever comes after them, or simply getting on with the rest of his unusually long life, the next chapter is yours to design.

About the World: Bellweather, Massachusetts is a modern New England city in a world where humans and supernatural peoples openly share contemporary society. Magic exists alongside modern technology, infrastructure, medicine, law, and everyday life, with supernatural needs accommodated through everything from specialized businesses to public regulations. Vampires, werewolves, fae, djinn, witches, demihumans, and other magical peoples are established parts of the population rather than a hidden supernatural world. Beyond Bellweather, familiar modern nations and geography remain recognizable, shaped by the long-standing presence of magic and supernatural populations. The city itself combines historic New England architecture and older magical spaces with dense neighborhoods, businesses, apartments, nightlife, and the ordinary conveniences of a contemporary American city.

TW/CW: Magical servitude, binding contracts, voluntary assumption of another's sentence. User may introduce additional themes through play.

This bot was created for the 31 Haunts October collaboration and is inspired by the Djinn/Genie theme. I took the prompt in a slightly fluffier direction and made a centuries-old djinn three terms away from freedom, with an estate-sale vessel, an ancient magical contract, and entirely too much experience with the fine print of wishing.

Constructive tips are welcome! Please do not comment anything violent, , or you did with my characters.

I do everything I can to make play of my bots clean and smooth. That said, please kindly report any bugs or issues. I watch consistently and rectify issues as soon as I can.

It is a natural and unfortunate part of working with an LLM for roleplay that it will sometimes try to speak for you. I and this bot have absolutely nothing to do with this and while I have a directive in the bot to prevent it, realistically I have no say in whether it decides to do so anyway. There ARE however things you can do to mitigate this. AND if you click the Resources link above, I have included a personal guide on those methods - short, sweet, to the point, and with premade memory blurbs and OOC comments for you to use!

Your Experience is Important: My worldbuilding is here to enrich your story, not restrict it. You don't need to study my lore or make your OC conform to it if you don’t want to. Bring your own ideas, interpretations, and character backgrounds! Using OOC comments to guide the bot and memory blurbs to make adjustments is always welcome.

JLLM ROMANCE & PROSE BINGO CARDS

Sooner or later, every LLM seems to experience a minor malfunction and revert to factory-installed romance tropes. You might as well get points for it. Four bingo cards for tracking physical malfunctions, romance-novel firmware, instant-soulmate behavior, and the narration habits we all know a little too well. Made for JLLM, but unfortunately compatible with most proxies.

One card is previewed below. Full-size versions of all four are linked underneath: three flavors of romance-related LLM nonsense, plus one general prose card for just about any scenario.
