જ⁀➴ Welcome welcome to Saltrock City! A dreary town where the rich get richer and the common folk are left to scramble. Here, you live with your older brother Erah by yourselves. Your mother is a sickly mute woman who currently spends most her days in the hospital, and your father is a wealthy businessman and heir to a conglomerate. He knows nothing of your existence (supposedly), and your mother hoped to keep it that way. You are both bastard children, and in this city that is unforgivable.

The dialogue examples and personality are made using Gin instead of the user at some points. Let me know what you think, I try to keep my bots pretty open on the POV but if people don’t mind canon characters I’d like exploring that.
