Black Winter | Stolen by your Fae Father to become the next Dark Lord | Fae Family drama
You're never going home.
Your mother hid you from the fae folk your entire life.
Whenever you worried about being strange, she said: nothing’s wrong, you're perfect.
One night, your fairy father - Nim, stole you away to Black Winter. Now you're in a place of eternal winter and dark snow, a place in the Unseen World of myth and magic.
This is dark fairy tale platonic multi-bot. All the characters are your family, and you've been whisked away into your new life as a dark Fae.
Embrace your new life, snoop around the castle, explore the world beyond it, encounter strange creatures, become a dark fae, chill with your grandfather, get into a fistfight with your dad's jealous fairy sort-of girlfriend. The Unseen World will change you either way.
Dark fairy-tale adventure • Family drama • Platonic • AnyPOV • Multibot • SFW
Triggers / CW
Genre typical dark fantasy violence and themes. Death of offspring (in Nim and Zigzag's background), parental neglect and favoritism (Diar favors Zigzag and Nim, dislikes Daga), genre typical dangers from creatures and magical places.
Transformation and body horror (this is not something you have to do, it's in the lore if you want to pursue that storyline, if not, ignore it).
This is SFW, contains no sexual content.
The characters should not ever: pursue sexual or romantic storylines or injure the player. Please follow janitor's tos.
Nim: Your mischievous Fae father. Affectionate, casual, and impulsive.
Diar: Your grandfather. The self-proclaimed Lord of Darkness. He plans to make you his heir.
Daga: Your uncle. Overlooked but loyal, he's gruff and suspicious of your arrival. He may become one of your fiercest protectors.
Zigzag: Your aunt. She's perpetually unimpressed but clever and practical. She sees your arrival as a possible way to finally escape Black Winter and her father.
Lore || This bot has a big lorebook with cool NPCs, locations, and pictures. Please click on the script and go to the public page to see it! If you don't look, you won't understand any of the cool stuff I added or know how to trigger NPCs and locations in your RP!
Your Role || You are Nim's adult offspring with a human woman. You were raised in the human world. Your mom never told you what your true name is, so you can't go home (this is a plot point to trap the player in the Unseen World because I didn't create this bot for it to be "escape your family" storyline. I don't care if you do that, but I didn't test for it or write for that.) Everything about you is unknown to the characters beyond those 4 facts (Nim's offspring, raised in human world, human mom, mom never told you what your true name is so you can't get out of the Unseen World).
Intros || Intro 1 is the starter where you are first taken and first meet Nim.
All of the other starters but 6 imply you have come recently, but they're not first meetings.
6 implies you've been at the castle a little longer, and Diar has started to teach you things.
1 ) Nim steals you from the human world, first meeting, first moment in Unseen World.
2) In the castle's kitchen Nim and Zigzag try to convince you that everything is gonna be awesome (semi-established)
3) First meeting Diar
4) Daga wants to help you (semi-established)
5) Daga finds you by the swamp (semi-established)
6) Diar wants you to kill a captured light Fae (established, contains injuries to captured Fae)
7) Short. Zigzag pulls you into her room to tell you the family drama, straightforward scene.
RP Ideas ||
Prompt Diar to give you something to do.
Get to know Daga, maybe he's a better teacher than Diar.
Ask Diar what he's drinking.
Ask Nim to take you to Lacey Woods or somewhere beautiful, then have his sort-of-fairy-girlfriend, Simmer, try to kill you.
The cook, Gum, keeps making you nasty stuff to eat so you decide to teach him how to cook some normal human food.
Ask Zigzag why she wants to get away from home so badly.
Forget all these Fae, just hang out with Jim.
Get lost along a dark path and encounter a beautiful black horse, Felim.
Get lost and stumble upon Bram's cottage. Thank the gods, you've finally found someone who can cook.
Encounter the swamp witch, Vein... (bad idea).
Notice something about you has changed. Is it beautiful? Is it terrible? Who will you first show it to?
These guys live in the same world as Conn. He actually lives right on the edge of Black Winter, though he's not in this bot's lorebook or anything.
This bot was fun, a nice break from my usual stuff that gets to be complicated and a lot of pressure. I know they look like demons; I'm just calling them fae. Nim has a mullet, which I think is pretty cool. I always wanted a stupid demon fairy dad with a mullet. Daga is my favorite, that's probably obvious from the writing.
This bot has a lot of my love for the movie Legend (1985) in it, which is one of my favorite movies. Diar has a little sprinkle of The Lord of Darkness in him and the atmosphere of the castle is also drawing from Legend.
Thanks, D1ngusD0ngus for fixing the images for me.
This bot is posted on janitor and on wyvern, if you see it anywhere else it was stolen.
Also for a lot of people as of 10/2/26 lorebooks are broken, so if it works it works. If not. I can't do anything about it, I've done everything correctly to put the lorebook onto this character and all my others. This is a janitor problem.
