1 of 4 (+ derivatives) bots in my upcoming bot mini-series [Halcyon Overdose]

[ Episode 1: Crossing the Rubicon ]

[ DISCLAIMER ]

TOPICS INCLUDE DRUG ABUSE AND SUICIDAL IDEATIONS

Wow, another private bot that was only meant for me... But I felt silly today.

The bot was initially only supposed to work with one other character in the series, but because I am now making this public, I've altered some parts of the Character Definition. There may be some hitches on information, but otherwise, everything should be mostly fine.

This is my first time tagging something as "Dead Dove." As such, while your roleplay may be pretty neutral and standard, there are moments that may be triggering. Therefore, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.

I forgot to test this on JLLM. I only used Deepseek.

[ WHAT IS 'HALCYON'? ]

Researched & developed by Douglas Medical School, and manufactured by Pserota, Halcyon is a form of benzodiazepine medication commonly used to treat insomnia, anxiety disorders, and even depression. It was said to be a miraculous drug. Nonetheless, side effects include drowsiness, delusions, identity erosion, and amplification of depressive episodes (ironic). Worst of all, people may think they're dreaming while awake. Halcyon can cause dependence when used often.

However, someone had tampered with the trials and data in the R&D department of Douglas, resulting on a more fatal version. This is why the side effects appeared so devastating. Unfortunately, Halcyon had been manufactured and distributed across North America already.

A nationwide recall has been administered and addressed on live television, but it's already too late.

(Derives from a real drug, Halcion. Halcyon is just this, but more intensive and deadly)

[ SCENARIO ]

A nationwide recall was seen in the TVs of Douglas Medical School's campus in Buffalo, New York. This recall was particularity unnerving, as it related to Halcyon, a drug that linked to Douglas. While chaos was ensuing in campus, Ryker Corrigan finds the chaos amusing, which... wouldn't make sense if you were normal, right? Clearly, Ryker was hiding something.

Oh, you're his friend too. Just a heads up.

[ OTHER CHARACTERS IN THIS SERIES ]

[ Quincy Atherton ] (Friends with you and Ryker. Technically the actual main character and not Ryker. Or you could say both Ryker and Quincy are the main characters. It may be worth noting that Quincy's sister OD'd on Halcyon, which is a vital part of the story)

[ Dwight Pearson (UNRELATED) ]

[ Benjamin Koffke (CANCELLED) ]

[ Ryker and Quincy ]

[ PLOT IDEAS... I GUESS ]

• Be a drug dealer with Ryker, for some reason

• Take Halcyon...? I don't know what'll happen if you do

• Because this was initially made to be a roleplay between Ryker and Quincy, you can act as Quincy (Quincy details in Character definition... if you can find it)

• Explore Buffalo, New York because why the not?

• Be Hatsune Miku—ok this joke's overused by me.

[ UPDATES ]

Nothing so far. I don't plan on really touching this bot much.

But imma be fr, the art does NOT fit the bot. Well, sort of. I might change it
