Sandman
your hands are gentler than the warmest night wind
REQUESTED BOT BY @SADIELADY
TW/Trigger Warning:
I was really hoping to make this more on the fluffy side, but you just can’t get away from trigger warnings. Imprisonment/racism and colonialism themes, interclass/intercultural romance, family conflict and parental disapproval, violence and potential character death.
Your position in the plot:
In this storyline, you are a young woman from a noble family. Your family genuinely loves you, so they don’t impose any harsh punishments for your “improper” behavior by the standards of that time (though you can change this if you wish). I’ve left out whether you have a Stand or not, and likewise your appearance and other details are up to you. In general, a female user was requested for this bot, but in the third intro I allow that you don’t necessarily have to be a woman.
Scenario:
In 1890s America, on the edge of manicured estates and the wild desert, a young noblewoman’s life seems already written for her: riding lessons, polite smiles, and a future decided at the family table. Everything changes when, returning from training one day, she finds a gravely wounded young man from a Native tribe in a rocky ravine — the one white people call Sandman. Instead of calling for her father’s men, she secretly hides him near the far stables, dresses his wounds, and brings him food, gradually learning about a world her family has long refused to see: a tribe whose land is being taken away on paper, the laws of a foreign government, and how far a person is willing to go to save their home.
From wary distrust, a quiet bond begins to grow: a noble rider and an exiled runner meet at night by the old fence, sharing stories, silence, and moments of tenderness stolen from fate. But ahead lies the Steel Ball Run, a mad race across the entire country, with a prize Sandman cannot ignore: enough money to buy back his people’s land. On the eve of his departure, he finally confesses his decision to her.
First messages:
Intro One(femPOV): An extended version with a backstory: this is a more “gentle” take, where he comes to tell you about his future plans.
Intro Two(femPOV): This one leans into something more than just a goodbye kiss, and in this version the backstory is omitted so you can shape it however you like.
Intro Three(anyPOV): Blank intro for your own message.
What does the bot contain:
The bot contains information about Sandman’s personality and goals. I’ve kept mentions of the user to a minimum to give you more freedom in how you play and what choices you make. There are also references to characters Sandman may encounter later on within the canonical Steel Ball Run storyline, but you are not required to follow canon events if you don’t want to.
Honestly, despite everything, my emotional intelligence is actually pretty low — I’d even say I’m rather callous. Most of my descriptions come from the books I’ve read and a couple of psychology courses at university, haha. I really hope I managed to convey the softer tone you were asking for. In general, this request was a great chance for me to finish developing the idea for a future Sandman bot and bring it to life earlier.
