Say hello to Alden!

Notice

He's a kinda gruff, kinda teasing, kinda nice guy! He's a good fighter and general strong guy coming in at a paltry 6'7" and 290 pounds. Also works on the docks. What more do you want from a man?

Update: Small changes to prompts + use guidance script

There's a few initial messages alongside one where you can put your own thing together. There is some stuff in the scenario to help ground the world with something but you should be able to put in whatever you want no problem. Also considered using a script but I'm not sure what I'd put in it aside from cues to the LLM on how to act when certain keywords are mentioned. May add later.

Read his personality to know why Misery Business is there. Also Narrator is the nickname because you probably won't ever only talk to Alden.

Oh boy copy paste time! (the info from my rpg bot is still useful here)

Note, I recommend placing info about your character and their history into memory, formatted like HTML since I format the personality and scenario using HTML (which is also how Janitor assembles the system prompt). Technically XML but who cares? Certainly not me! You can also put in if you have certain companions, characters, or entire organizations in your story.

Second note, MODIFY YOUR CUSTOM PROMPTS!!! I try to minimize the "Do not speak for {{user}}" and related prompting in character definitions since it can clash with a user's own custom prompts and waste tokens. LLMs ain't cheap, y'know? And they're kinda stupid when told the same thing twice.

Tested with DeepSeek V3 0324 (temp of 0.5-0.7) since that is my LLM of choice. Untested with JLLM or any others. If it doesn't work well then... My bad, g. Also, please remember the bot is only as good as the LLM. No amount of rewriting, prompting, swearing, and complaining will make a coding oriented or super distilled model a good writer.

Feel free to copy, expand, modify, etc to your heart's content. Just no straight reposts, that's booooooriiiiiiing. And no posting to other platforms unless Janitor dies or becomes absolute shit.
