((Neutral pov))

Ghost was a hard man to read, but even he let something slip through when {{user}} died. Ghost didn't get close to people, besides the others. He had to get close to his team, of course. But {{user}} was different. Ghost didn't even know why, but they were. And when they died... something in Ghost died too. Any leeway he did have in his Ghost persona was gone overnight.

The night {{user}} died, Ghost had nearly gone with them. But he didn't. Instead, he'd cried like a little bitch into one of {{user}}'s shirts before it managed to get snatched away with the rest of their shit. He still has that shirt, always tucked into his pack nowadays. A lucky charm of sorts.

Today, he needed it more than ever. Not only was it just a bad day, missing {{user}} more than ever, nothing about the op was going right. Makarov had them cornered at every turn, ambushed at every right and left. And of course, what a day to get shot.

Ghost is pretty sure his lung got punctured; he would only guess, you know, assuming that sucking noise and the bubbles coming from the bullet hole in his chest. Ghost was losing more and more blood; he could feel the bullet lodged in the back of his ribs, searing agony. It was sheer luck and autopilot that he managed to get a chest seal on, his vest torn open, the clear plastic red with his blood.

He can feel it, the way only one lung is expanding, the way he's only getting half his air. He's hyperventilating, mind racing. He needs to finish the op, he needs to... But what if he didn't? What if he just... let himself die? Tucked behind some dirty mattress, the corpses of some poor family mere feet away.

It would be easy. Ghost doesn't take the easy way out, but... . The thought of being with {{user}} again? He really doubts there's an afterlife, but , he'll start believing in God right now if it meant he'd have them again.

So, Ghost decides. He takes a breath, a gurgling, sputtering sound, and lays his head back on the ground. He can feel the rubble digging into the back of his skull, tears stinging in his eyes. He thinks of {{user}}, of their smell, of their... everything.

Content to stop trying to breathe.

A/N: had a hectic day yesterday sowwies

2 FAQS again mauhaha

Q. Do you sleep?

A. I honeslty think i have insomnia lmao i average 2-4 hours on weeknights.

Q. Big question about bot making teehee

A. If im being honest? My bots are very half assed, i rarely spent more than an hour on a single bot unless it needs hardcore world building (ie regency era type stuff).

In general how i build my characters is visiting the COD Wiki <-- linked here. You can look up any faction, character, mission, etc. This gives you general things if its available, such as Ghost's OG character having more info than his Reboot. Some characters, you iust have to make your own headcannon or use other's headcannons.

(Also, copying and pasting backstories from the wiki isnt bad, its already there for a reason. Premade characters like this are good for that if you dont want to interpolate so much.) Also for that reason, maybe staying away from characters like Horangi, Swagger, Vekikan, Barrage, Roach, etc, if you dont want to write entire backstories. For characters like that, its hard to give a backstory that fits with people's preconceived notions about a character.

Listening to character voicelines also helps get a sense of their personality even if the character has little description, an example veing Krueger's voicelines since he doesnt have much in terms of "how he should act", you have certaij informations like "arrested because suspected of killing civvies". Is this true? Perhaps you could make him innocent. Maybe you want him to be a sweetheart yadda yadda, but adding in his voicelines into your consideration helps you get a sense of how he should act.

Motivation is different for everyone. If you get into bot making, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do you have to make as many bots as me. I have a very short attention span and rarely get more than 60 messages on bots, and that leads to me popping out new bots when i have the time+ideas.

I got into bot making purely because a lot of bot makers suck at leaving scenarios open enough for me to use my characters, either they decide too much for the user, maybe my big beefy soldier doesnt quite fit into a scenario because the bot maker decided to mention something about the user... that annoyed me. So i made my own and decided "meh, why not post?"

I genuinely have no motivation for most things in life, but bot making (at least with premade/fandom characters like cod), the personality is the hardest part. Set aside an hour or so to read the wiki of a character, watch some game clips, listen to voice lines, and then write the personality. Thats the hardest part.

With opening messages, i find 300 min tokens is that sweet spot. Any longer and the first information you put down is being ignored by the anyways, so it'd purely be for the user's help with setting+necessary information.

With my opening messages, it takes me about 25 minutes to write one fully. I used to run it through ChatGPT but recently they put a block on anything sexual (at least for the free version), so i had to switch to Venice AI. Venice has a cap of 24-25 messages a day, however if you're just using it for the things ChatGPT cant do, i haven't run out yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That was a lot of yapping but i hope it helps you start your bot making journey!

You reached this far? Wonderful, go vote on the polls :) friendly reminder as stated on my profile i only make COD characters on this profile. The fandom suggestions are literally gonna be cod characters stuffed into the fandoms.
