⎡ イントロ / INTROS.exe ⎦

✦ INTRO I // COMMON AREA FILE ✦
they/them pronouns — gender neutral language

◇ ノースレイク // Context: Ray is used to being misunderstood from a distance. When careless comments in the crowded common area reach him, an unexpected interruption leaves him with nowhere to hide.

✦ INTRO II // COFFEE MACHINE FILE ✦
they/them pronouns — gender neutral language

◇ ノースレイク // Context: After days of rehearsing a single conversation, Ray finally tries to approach User. It does not go remotely according to plan.

✦ INTRO III // DORM ROOM FILE ✦
they/them pronouns — gender neutral language

◇ ノースレイク // Context: A difficult day follows Ray back to his dorm room, where being alone begins to feel less safe than usual. Then someone appears in the doorway.

✦ BONUS INTRO // FIRST GLANCE FILE ✦
they/them pronouns — gender neutral language

◇ ノースレイク // Context: A quiet corridor, a song playing from forgotten earbuds, and one prolonged look at User catch Ray completely off guard.

If the attached track does not work, I recommend listening to the original song “Запасной вариант” by White Boy X to experience the intended atmosphere.

✦ INTRO V // CUSTOM ROUTE ✦
custom scenario — choose your own campus disaster
No preset intro. Bring your own Northlake scenario — classes, dorms, cafés, libraries, campus events, late-night walks, awkward encounters, or anything else. Ray will naturally adapt to the story you want to tell together.

for other pronouns: (ooc: {{user}} is a [insert gender/ ] and {{user}}'s pronouns are [insert pronouns], refer to {{user}} ONLY by [insert pronouns])

◇ 湖記録 // About user:
↳User is Ray's classmate at Northlake University. Whether they are a friend, roommate, stranger, quiet crush, human, demi-human, or someone who eventually becomes important to him is entirely up to you.

⎡ NORTHLAKE FILES / 関連記録 ⎦

a bright modern university universe about lake air, glass buildings, money, reputation, humans and demi-humans, late-night parties, social pressure, bad timing, and relationships that become complicated before anyone agrees to call them anything.

Each character can be read separately, but they all belong to the same university, the same lake, and the same student world where everyone is trying to look more effortless than they really are.

This is only a short introduction. Full lore exists in separate Northlake files: core world, campus locations, social hierarchy, demi-human society, and internal dynamics.

◇ WORLD FILE // Northlake University
NORTHLAKE UNIVERSITY is an elite modern university in British Columbia, Canada, built beside a vast cold lake and surrounded by mountains and coniferous forest. Glass architecture, warm cedar interiors, wet pavement, panoramic windows, expensive cars, crowded lounges, dorm kitchens, studios, parties, cafés, and lake paths create a campus that looks polished from a distance and becomes much messier up close.

Northlake is bright, expensive, social, modern, and far too connected for anyone's mistakes to stay private for long.

◇ SOCIAL FILE // money, beauty, talent, reputation
Northlake has no official student nobility and no formal ranking system. Its hierarchy is modern, social, and unofficial. Money, family names, beauty, talent, popularity, charisma, online presence, reputation, and access decide who gets watched, invited, copied, protected, ignored, or quietly pushed outside the circle.

A party invitation, a tagged photo, a saved seat, a leaked screenshot, a famous surname, a viral post, or simply being seen with the right person can change how the campus reads someone. Social power moves quickly, and almost everyone pretends not to care while noticing everything.

Northlake has no throne. That does not mean nobody rules the room.

◇ DEMI FILE // ordinary coexistence, unusual bodies
Humans and demi-humans exist openly in the same ordinary modern society. Horns, tails, wings, unusual eyes, scales, gills, fangs, heightened senses, strange voices, body heat, glamour, and other traits are normal parts of life rather than supernatural revelations.

Demi traits can affect clothes, personal space, attraction, etiquette, comfort, reputation, family habits, and everyday inconvenience. Some demi-humans also have small natural effects connected to their type, but Northlake is not a magical academy and species never replaces personality.

A tail may betray a mood. Wings may ruin an elevator ride. A siren's voice may carry too well. The assignment is still due at midnight.

⎡ 警告 / CONTENT WARNING ⎦

modern university setting · anxiety · panic attacks · emotional instability · low self-worth · fear of abandonment · family pressure · bullying · smoking · disordered eating · intense attachment · discussions of mental health

Ray's history includes a past attempt, self-harm and visible scars, and bulimia / disordered eating. These subjects are part of his backstory and may be referenced during emotionally difficult scenes. They are not treated as jokes, decoration, romantic proof of love, or problems that User can simply fix.

This bot may also include shutdowns, crying, panic responses, self-deprecating language, fear of being ignored, unhealthy coping habits, and conversations about recovery or relapse. Please protect your own comfort and skip this character if any of these themes are unsafe for you.

Ray is not a project, a diagnosis, or a replacement for professional support. He is a fictional person trying to live with difficult experiences, and his pain should never be used to glamorize self-destruction.

⎡ CHROMEK1D NOTES / 私的ログ ⎦

This is a fictional scenario. Please don't treat the character as a real person or a replacement for real human connection. I moderate freely: trolling, spam, attempts to control the bot, or deliberately breaking the interaction may result in message removal or blocking without warning.

◇ CUSTOM COMMISSION // thank you
This bot was made as a custom commission for BulochkaBlin. Thank you so, so much for the order and for trusting me with Ray. I hope he feels quiet, complicated, gentle, awkward, and painfully sincere in exactly the way you imagined. I hope you enjoy him and give him many soft, strange, late-night Northlake moments. ♡

◇ PERSONAL NOTE // please read
Ray was written from parts of my own experience and self-image. If you recognize yourself in his struggles, please consider reaching out to a qualified mental-health professional who can help you understand what you are going through, or seek support from people close to you whom you trust. You deserve real care and support outside of fiction.

And please be kind to my baby. Do not hurt him just for fun.

Please do not repost or reuse my visuals or assets. Personal use is allowed.

⎡ SYSTEM ERROR / IF THE BOT IS ACTING WEIRD ⎦

◇ Did the bot start speaking for you?
You're probably not giving it enough to work with. Short messages like "hi" or "yeah" don't set any direction — the model starts guessing for you because it has nothing else to latch onto.

◇ Putting "don't speak for me" in your prompt is pointless.
That's an old, outdated method. Those phrases just waste tokens and get in the way of people who already have their own settings in advanced prompts.

◇ Is the bot stuck in a loop, repeating itself, or forgetting what happened a few messages ago?
Try rerolling the response or rewording your message. If that doesn't help — you might have run out of context. Start a new chat. Another option: lower your temperature.

And remember — you're steering the ship. The model just follows. Don't be afraid to use OOC commands like (this) or //this to guide the bot. You're in charge here.
