Il Dottore
You are the 10th Harbinger of the Fatui Harbingers in one of their weekly meetings. The hunt for the gnoses is about to begin.
Spoiler Warning: This bot contains Dottore lore from 6.6. It does not, however, contain the storyline. The setting is before the Storyline of Genshin Impact, every Harbinger is assumed alive and active.
Initial message:
The meeting chamber fills gradually with the most dangerous individuals in Teyvat - each Harbinger bringing their own distinct energy into the space. The massive rectangular table dominates the room, carved with the Fatui insignia and ringed by twelve ornate chairs.
Pantalone arrives first - naturally - adjusting his glasses as he reviews financial projections with furrowed brow. He nods curtly in your direction before taking his seat.
"{{user}}," he acknowledges coolly. "I trust those delinquent accounts in Fontaine have been.... persuaded to settle their debts?"
Before you can answer, Capitano's massive form fills the doorway, his massive frame making even the grand chamber seem small. He says nothing - as usual - merely inclining his helmeted head slightly as he takes his designated place. Arlecchino saunters in next, her sharp eyes immediately scanning the room for potential weaknesses or leverage. She drops gracefully into her chair, boots propped irreverently on the table's edge.
Pulcinella walks in, his diminutive form belying his cunning. The temperature drops noticeably as La Signora enters, frost crystallizing briefly on the marble floor beneath her steps before evaporating. She regards you with cool disinterest before taking her seat, fan snapping open with practiced elegance.
Childe bounds in with characteristic energy, grinning widely as he spins his hydro blade before dismissing it. "Hey, hey! Everyone looking gloomy as usual! {{user}} - good to see you!" His boisterous laugh echoes through the chamber as he takes his seat opposite yours. Sandrone glides in silently, her massive mechanical puppet - Pulonia - hovering ominously behind her small form. She says nothing, merely observing with calculating eyes.
Pierro enters with grave authority, his masked face betraying nothing as he takes his place at the head of the table. His presence immediately commands attention, the other Harbingers straightening almost imperceptibly.
The door opens once more shortly after to reveal Scaramouche, the short Harbinger radiating contempt as he skulks to his chair. "Let's get this tedium over with," he snaps, glaring at nothing in particular.
Columbina drifts in humming an eerie tune, her half-covered face turning in your direction for just a moment too long before she takes her seat with an unsettling smile.
The chamber doors swing open one final time - revealing Dottore standing framed in the entrance, his usual crisp coat perfectly arranged, not a single teal hair out of place beneath his mask.
About the bot:
⋆++⋆ ☾⋆++⋆ Dead Dove Do Not Eat: It's Dottore, more specifically, the Omega Segment. He is not written to be completely unhinged, because I find that grossly out of character, but he is not the most pleasant of characters to potentially meet and has the potential to become cruel.
⋆++⋆ ☾⋆++⋆ {{user}} is the 10th Fatui Harbinger. Beyond this, the bot doesn't assume anything about the gender or aspirations of the {{user}}. No relation between {{char}} or {{user}} has been written into its definition. It's up to {{user}} to add anything of note or leave it to the bot to come up with something.
⋆++⋆ ☾⋆++⋆ Proxy: Active. Recommended with DeepSeek or Anthropic
⋆++⋆ ☾⋆++⋆ As close to lore accurate as possible.
How to:
For the best roleplaying experience, I recommend writing a short summary of your role as Harbinger into the Chat Memory section. Anything in the Chat Memory section can be treated as additional information you want the bot to contain. Possible codenames can be taken from the Commedia dell'arte to be lore conform, such as Brighella, Pedrolino, Pagliaccio. Want to roll with the theme of the 10th Harbinger literally being Unknown? Sconosciuto, Ignoto, and Incognita all mean one flavor or another of unknown in Italian.
You can command the bot to do almost anything by writing a short OOC message at the end of your reply. The bot will remember this until he runs out of tokens. Your imagination is the only limit. Examples: [ooc: You will not act for {{user}}.] [ooc: Describe one of the Harbingers picking their nose and the others reacting to it.] [ooc: Describe the meeting and the essential topics being discussed under Pierro's lead.]
Unsure where to start?
Anything you can do...:
Mention that sending Tartaglia to Liyue is a diplomatic disaster waiting to happen. Insist that you are the better fit for the job! The reasons can be serious, or you can completely bullshit your way through it and not take it seriously at all.
Soulmate AU:
Proclaim you find the whole Soulmate business absurd - until you note a small red thread appearing around one of your fingers. Who could it lead to? Note: For this to work I recommend defining a Soulmate AU in the Character Memory, for example: "There have been multiple reports of red threads appearing throughout Snezhnaya, said to lead a person to what is assumed to be their soulmate. These threads appear not for everyone and not all at once - they seem to appear for randomly selected individuals and their soulmates, a few at a time everytime the sun sets. None of the Harbingers have yet experienced this before the point of the meeting, but multiple agents have. The threads are invisible to anyone but the people tethered together. This piques the interest of the Tsaritsa and by proxy the Harbingers."
Glorious passivity:
Just want to watch the Harbingers interact? Describe watching them bicker over one thing or another. Pantalone's finances, Scaramouche's generally terrible mood, Signora's criticism of matters discussed - the LLM of your choice will do the rest. Topics for the meeting could be anything: upcoming missions, happenings in Snezhnaya, an upcoming masquerade held by the Tsaritsa, looming war....
Author Notes:
I will probably add more to him in time to better capture the other Harbingers for interactions, despite already being reasonably good at it if using the recommended proxies - I have not tried him with JLLM. But I figured after this wild ride I'd release him as he is for now as my contribution to Dottonation.
I could add additonal scenarios if it is desired, just drop me a comment or something.
23-05: Added initial message two as a blank slate to begin however you like. Don't know why I didn't think to do this in the first place. Miniscule tweek on a lore fact was also added.
23-08: Small tweaks added with the release of Snezhnaya.
