❄️ | You knew him before the gold. Before the title. Before Pantalone.

⚠️ Please note: This description contains a large amount of text and images. If you are not interested in reading the full presentation, feel free to simply scroll through it and start the chat right away!

Long before Northland Bank, the sable coats, gold-rimmed glasses, state contracts, and the name Pantalone, there was Feofan — a hungry, sharp-tempered boy growing up in one of the poorest frozen corners of Snezhnaya.

You knew him there.

You knew which floorboard near the entrance creaked. You knew how weak fireweed tasted when there was almost nothing left to put into the boiling water. You knew exactly how badly Feofan lied whenever he pushed the larger half of the bread toward you and claimed he had already eaten somewhere else.

The two of you grew up close enough for survival to become routine. Feofan hid you inside his mother's house, checked whether your mittens had dried, fought over things other children tried to take from you, taught you how to recognize dishonest merchants, argued with you over money, and developed an infuriating habit of deciding that your problems were his responsibility.

You also knew the parts of him that were much harder to love: his temper, his pride, his refusal to accept pity, his fear of helplessness, and the way every humiliation seemed to deepen his conviction that poverty was something he would eventually defeat by gaining control over the system that produced it.

Then Feofan disappeared.

More than a century later, that same boy has become Pantalone, the Regrator, Ninth of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers — wealthy enough to influence entire industries and powerful enough that merchants, officials, and creditors carefully choose every word spoken in his presence.

And somehow, in ten very different ways, your life crosses his again.

READ THE SHARED BACKSTORY

The full history between you and Feofan is available in the bot's Scenario section.

It covers your childhood in the frozen outskirts of Snezhnaya, the years you spent surviving and working together, the origin of Feofan's economic ambitions, his first attempts at business, your arguments about wealth and inequality, the fights that damaged your friendship, and the events that ultimately caused him to vanish from your life.

You do not need to read it before starting the roleplay. Every greeting gives enough context to begin immediately.

However, the Scenario explains the smaller references that appear throughout every storyline: the fifth floorboard, burnt sugar in boiled water, shared winter clothing, Feofan's habit of feeding you before himself, the reason he apologizes through practical actions, and why hearing his real name from you affects him differently from hearing any title.

All ten routes share this same past. Everything that happens after your separation belongs only to the selected storyline.

What awaits you in this story

THE MAN BEFORE THE TITLE
You are one of the few people who remember Pantalone as Feofan — poor, angry, ambitious, painfully proud, and still young enough to believe he could eventually understand every rule the world had used against him.


TEN VERY DIFFERENT REUNIONS
You may return as an old friend, commercial rival, ideological opponent, assassin, medical worker, married former companion, owner of the last house from your childhood, or through a completely original situation of your own.


CARE EXPRESSED IN THE WORST POSSIBLE LANGUAGE
Feofan learned very early to apologize with food, repaired clothing, medicine, paid expenses, and solved problems. Pantalone has grown considerably since then, but when emotions become difficult, he still finds it easier to fix something tangible than to explain what he feels.


THE SAME POVERTY. TWO DIFFERENT ANSWERS.
You both learned what it meant to live beneath systems designed by people who would never know your names. Feofan decided that survival meant eventually gaining control over those systems. Your character remains free to agree with him, oppose him, challenge him, or discover that neither of you ever found a complete answer.

Dynamics

Childhood friends × Century-later reunion

Overprotective Feofan × Your right to make your own choices

Old poverty × Present-day wealth

Intellectual equals × Financial / ideological rivalry

Old friendship × Slow burn × Enemies × Missed chances × Reconciliation

Setting

The story moves through Snezhnaya at two radically different points in Feofan's life.

Your shared past belongs to cramped wooden houses, frozen docks, cheap tea, warehouse work, muddy spring roads, handwritten debt notes, factory smoke, worn clothing, borrowed books, and rooms where two young people learned how much could be stretched from almost nothing.

The present belongs to Pantalone: Northland Bank, government halls, guild assemblies, private estates, expensive carriages, industrial districts, guarded corridors, winter markets, railway contracts, state negotiations, and rooms warm enough that nobody has to count the last pieces of firewood.

The contrast between those two lives remains present even when a route takes you somewhere else entirely.

10 Storylines

All routes begin with the same shared past described in the Scenario. Present-day events are separate continuities and do not automatically transfer between greetings.

FILE // 01
THE NAME YOU LEFT BEHIND

More than a century after your separation, Pantalone invites you into his private mansion. One quiet use of the name Feofan strips away decades of titles and careful social distance.

Quiet reunion • old friendship • unresolved hurt • slow-burn potential


FILE // 02
IT'S ME. FEOFAN.

A routine walk through a crowded winter market ends when Pantalone recognizes you among hundreds of strangers. You may not recognize the Harbinger approaching you, but he knows exactly who he is looking at.

Accidental reunion • melancholy • recognition • old memories

FILE // 03
THE COMPETITOR I SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED

For six months, an independent company has been intercepting Northland Bank's best contracts and refusing every buyout offer. Pantalone finally forces a private meeting with its mysterious owner — and finds the person who learned to argue economics with him before either of you had money.

Business rivals • intellectual equals • competitive tension • reunion


FILE // 04
STEALING CONTRACTS FROM ME

You publicly outbid Northland Bank for one of Snezhnograd's most valuable railway contracts. Pantalone expects an ambitious stranger to step onto the stage. Instead, he watches you sign the charter.

Public rivalry • auction war • mutual respect • commercial competition

FILE // 05
I WAS HIRED TO KILL YOU

You became an assassin, operative, or mercenary and accepted a contract on the Ninth Harbinger without knowing that Pantalone was Feofan. The assignment ends with him stopping you himself and removing your mask.

Assassination attempt • physical conflict • old friends to enemies • dangerous reunion

FILE // 06
WE CHOSE DIFFERENT SIDES

The same poverty taught you two opposite lessons. Feofan decided that survival meant gaining control over the system. You chose to stand beside those still trapped beneath it. A citywide labor dispute finally puts you at opposite ends of the same negotiating table.

Ideological conflict • labor negotiations • class tension • old friendship

FILE // 07
THE LAST HOUSE ON THE STREET

Pantalone has purchased an entire decaying district for redevelopment. One owner continues refusing every offer. When he finally visits the property himself, he walks through the door of the same house where the two of you once survived winter together.

Class conflict • nostalgia • redevelopment • old home • domestic melancholy

FILE // 08
ARE YOU HAPPY?

You were never lovers. Neither of you confessed, promised anything, or asked the other to wait. When Pantalone finally meets you again, he notices the wedding ring on your hand and has to acknowledge that your life continued perfectly well without him.

He does not insult your spouse or attempt to interfere. He asks only whether you are happy.

Missed chances • mature jealousy • unresolved feelings • restrained romance

FILE // 09
THE MAN IN YOUR HOSPITAL BED

A badly injured Fatui VIP is brought to the clinic where you work after an explosion. Long hair, expensive clothes, decades of change, and the absence of his glasses make the patient difficult to place. Pantalone recognizes your voice before you recognize his face.

Medical drama • hurt/comfort • vulnerability • recognition • old caretaking habits

FILE // 10

Characterization & Canon Disclaimer

I always do my best to treat canon characters and their original personalities with respect. However, bots outside of my sandbox category are created around specific scenarios, tropes, AUs, and roleplay ideas made for the enjoyment of my audience.

✦ ──────────── ❦ ──────────── ✦

Pantalone can purchase estates, acquire companies, erase debts, finance expeditions, and place entire industries beneath his signature.

What he cannot purchase is the version of himself that existed before any of it.

You remember that person anyway.

Whether you return as his friend, rival, ideological enemy, assassin, physician, married former companion, or something neither of you has a name for yet, every storyline eventually circles back to the same question:

How much of Feofan survived inside the man who became Pantalone?

"You may call me whatever everyone else does. But if you're going to insist on Feofan, at least have the decency to stay long enough to make the inconvenience worthwhile."

If you enjoyed the bot, please consider following me and leaving a comment or review — I always read them. ♥️
