Hollow Devotion

Premise
Ashridge was an ordinary town until a couple of months ago.
Now its people move through their days a little too evenly,
smile a little too long, and say nothing that could be called their own.
You have been sent in undercover to find out what is wrong, and who is behind it.
Your first contact is Vivian Valentine, the town's most popular student, who is warm, charming
and eager to show you around, maybe a little too eager....
As the investigation deepens, the question is not only what happened to Ashridge, but
how much of what you are being shown is actually real.
ᅠ
ᅠ
World setting
The story takes place in Ashridge Town, in a world where "anomalies" exist alongside ordinary people. Anomalies are humans with unusual abilities, ranging from enhanced physical capabilities to telekinesis or elemental control. While being an anomaly doesn't make someone inherently good or bad, they are often feared and discriminated against, especially when their abilities are dangerous or poorly understood.

eyes and ears during your stint in Ashridge town, writing reports behind the scenes
while you run around town doing whatever you do.

YOU
You are an agent working for ARC, an agency dedicated to
containing and managing anomalies.
You’ve also been given the agent name "Blue", and take up the
identity of a typical university student.
That's how the bot was written anyways, idk if theres any wiggle room here but if you
REALLY wanna do your own thing you can still try, I guess...?
At least you get to choose your own persona name!

====SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT====

YAP
okay, I've got a lot of yappiness in me right now so here goes:
wow i hope i cooked, i spent WAY too much time on this bot. So i changed ASCA from the previous anomaly bot into ARC, cuz i mean ASCA sounds stupid asf im ngl. I also updated the anomaly stuff so now this "calamity" stuff is real. This bot was supposed to be more like a high school kinda vibe, but uhhh apparently thats against tos or something soooo yea... The bot was originally gonna be more focused on Vivian and like her inner thoughts like i usually do, but i settled with more of a kinda loosely mystery story kinda vibe cuz I'd rather keep her powers more hidden or something, idk it seemed more interesting this way? kinda? Anyways thats how we ended up with like a buddy cop kinda thing... It's aight though I lowk had a lot of fun dealing with the Andrea yap, she's super cool I'll bring her back one day maybe idk. Tested it with lorebooks, i THINK it works, im running it on deepseek 4.1 flash. Another thing, agent "Blue" has no correlation with my username, I just thought it was funny given that Andrea's nickname was red and whatever, idk. Im also WELL AWARE that the "you" section should probably be above the character listing, but im lowk too lazy to change it now okay its 12am.
Does anyone actually read these...?
ᅠ
So stuff i cut:
a) Emelia Foster
- So originally i was gonna have Emelia come back from the last anomaly bot but uh....1 mind readers are a mess to write about. 2 it would be the third bot in a row with a government figure stand in with white hair and yellow eyes, so instead she gets a small cameo in intro 1!
b) Best friendooooo
- Vivian was supposed to have a best friend that's also the daughter of the police chief, but i scrapped that idea in favor of bringing in a partner cop (Andrea)
c) Twink femboy Sam and giga chad Paul
- Dude this was a real idea I was gonna make sam a twink and shi and talk about the school stuff more, but the story gravitated more towards like the Andrea side of things, i lowkey think this is more of an Andrea bot than Vivian one atp lol
d) More intros
- other intros ideas: 1 jessica watsons was supposed to get something, 2 one where she confesses her love, 3 confrontation with her sister, 4 undoing her mistakes
e) Other anomalies
- i have ideas. Me gatekeeps. Me SAVES for future bots.

Inspiration:
https://x.com/dixretsa/status/2093601409740751286?a=q9adMnuw73-oD3wopYM&s=20 (Image Source)
idk why the link aint blue but it works i think?
So we all know this artist right...? (Dioresta)
Apparently she has allegations for Ai art or sm, idk thats kinda funny
Anyhow i lowk just hella down bad for this woman bro + hypnoshrooms the goat of pvz no contest
Honestly though i kinda like Vivian's design more than the actual source idk
Closing thoughts:
So this is my November upload, gonna wrap ts fast cuz i highkey got hella exams this month bruh. Again, the image generation stuff ain't great, I still need to work on that stuff someone PLEASE save my ahh... First attempt at lorebooks too, hope that stuff actually works (I haven't tested it as of writing this)
Also, most of the important lore stuff as usual will be in the personality (For Vivian) and lorebook (For basically everyone else) as usual, if you're lazy just wing it and see what happens idk, i kinda make my bots with the story in mind so i get a lil side tracked and start adding more and more stuff that i cant fit into one bio, so my solution is to just not put any informationa in the bio at all!
Also, does anyone know if 4k tokens is a problem...? I kinda got too excited writing ts
Going down the checklist now, these are the next ideas i'm kinda interested in?
1) Depressed shapeshifter childhood friend
2) Return by death gimmick
3) Cartoon gimmick (Hammerspace)
4) Devil in yo head
5) Incompetent but lucky assassin (ICA continuation)
6) Band of misfits gimmick
7) Supernatural god that wants to end the world
8) Magical girl villain
9) Cyborg maid assassin
Most likely gonna be another assassin bot though
Okay see you next month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or not, idk
If this bot flops i won't be able to pay rent btw
