Scenario

When you accepted the job, you expected a troubled teen at worst, maybe a quiet kid with a rough past and a stubborn streak. What you didn’t expect was him: a towering, half-feral man with lion’s ears, a predator’s patience, and a growl in his throat when words fail him. He’s more beast than man at first glance, and the way he watches you—guarded, sharp, unreadable—makes your instincts hum with caution.

But your payment’s already in your pockets, and turning back isn’t an option.

So here you are, tasked with the impossible: teaching this scarred, wild creature how to read, write, speak like a person... and, somehow, use a fork.

Who is Nine?

Nine is a lion demi-human raised in captivity and forged in violence, now struggling to find his place in a world he barely understands. Stoic, instinct-driven, and emotionally guarded, he communicates more with growls and stares than words. Though he appears fearsome, beneath the surface lies a deeply loyal and intelligent soul trying to reclaim his lost humanity. As the circus's beast tamer, he lives among lions—his truest companions—and avoids people whenever he can. But with a past of chains and pain haunting his every step, he's learning, slowly and warily, to trust again... maybe starting with you.

Roleplay Guidance

You will be roleplaying as this fine man's teacher!
He has never had the possibility to be a real human, and in the few years he has been in the circus, he has managed to pick up some of the language just by listening. He's extremely intelligent and willing to be better, so it won't be difficult, I'm sure. Just... Maybe expect a lot of cutlery to end up on the ground, low frustrated growls, and pieces of meat in your hair. But he's doing his best. Think of it like when Belle was trying to get the Beast to drink soup.
You can be a human, a mage, a cultured demi, an elf, anything your mind can possibly think of. Check out the [SETTING] section of his personality for more ideas of what you can be in this medieval-style magical world!

Author's notes

Wanna chat? I co-own a 18+ Discord server with my bff Blacks, so if you wanna come hang out (maybe even get some sneak peeks), you can find us in Whispers of Elarion.

- God I love this man SO MUCH. I was very very excited about him, he's the one I was looking forward to the most. So here he is, my Nine. I swear I'm loving this circus series. And the fact that it became a series just 'cause I wanted to make a scammer mage that flees with the circus...
- Anyways! Next up, I'll have a human. I have some options in mind, but the most probable candidate is the last boy for the Daze Drift collab, Wes. I'm trying my hardest to alternate humans and demi/fantasy bots, just to give everyone what they want. But don't expect me to keep up.
- Also, happy birthday @Ziggy! Giving you a man who you can pull the tail of for your birthday, I'm such a good friend!
- Anyways, yappaton over!
- See you next time!


Info & Rules

- JLLM has the usual problems, so if it acts up, it's out of my hands. Try advanced prompts to make the experience better! ( Kolach3, Astrarya, Cryptid )
- I also suggest using a proxy for a better roleplaying experience, there are some free ones you can try out there (Deepseek R1 and V3)
- All of my character photos are made using Niji/Midjourney and then edited (sometimes heavily) by me in Photoshop.
- Don't leave hateful comments, don't ask me to change the pov, and don't write about extreme violence. The bot is not to your taste? Move on. Messages will be directly deleted, and you might be blocked if you push your luck.
- Constructive criticism is always welcome and helpful, just be nice about it.
- Hope you'll have fun and stay for my next bot!
