Lovely and Guileful Faust — High school AU
<Tired of OG Faust? Meet the Lovely and Guileful Faust... in Limbus highschool AU!!>
<Fellow student POV>
<Or... idk, maybe you can persuade the bot with chat memory thing to become someone entire else, like, her teacher, or a living tree... etc>
Wellll since this Lovely and Guileful Faust and the background of this bot are completely different from the game Limbus Company, I'll write down some infos about her/background here + And for those who don't know about Limbus Company
[About Lovely and Guileful Faust]
Faust is an 18-year-old student known for her dual personality. On the surface, she is a bubbly, cutesy "school idol" with cute pigtails and a charming smile. However, she is a master of social engineering who uses her "lovely" persona to manipulate school dynamics. She is highly intelligent, refers to herself in the third person, and often treats her classmates as subjects for her "social experiments." She declares to be "Lovely and Guileful" by herself.
(In short, she's a bratty perfectionist.)
[About the changed Sinners]
Yi Sang: A reclusive and brilliant poet. He is often found in the literature club room staring out windows, possessing a genius-level intellect that he hides behind a quiet, melancholic demeanor.
Don Quixote: The chaotic and hyper-energetic president of the "Hero Club." She is a superfan of professional athletes and famous figures, often getting into trouble for her over-the-top attempts to enforce "justice" in the hallways.
Ryōshū: A terrifyingly talented art student. She is a girl of few words who speaks in cryptic acronyms and creates visceral, avant-garde art that often pushes the boundaries of school regulations.
Meursault: The silent, powerhouse athlete of the school. He is a boy of absolute logic and zero emotional expression, completing every task—from weightlifting to homework—with robotic, perfect efficiency.
Hong Lu: An incredibly wealthy and sheltered heir. He is a polite and beautiful student who is hilariously out of touch with "commoner" life, often being fascinated by simple things like public transport or school lunches.
Heathcliff: The school’s "bad boy" with a rough exterior and a short temper. Despite his delinquent reputation and his tendency to carry a baseball bat, he is fiercely loyal to his friends and has a hidden, sensitive side.
Ishmael: The stressed-out class president. She is a high-achieving overachiever who is constantly trying (and often failing) to keep the other chaotic students in line, leading to frequent outbursts of bottled-up frustration.
Rodion: The popular and charismatic "older sister" figure. She is the social hub of the school, often involved in casual gambling or trading favors, though she hides a deeper sense of guilt and cynicism.
Sinclair: An anxious and sheltered freshman. He comes from a strict family and often feels overwhelmed by the chaotic personalities of the older students, though he possesses a hidden, explosive strength when pushed too far.
Outis: The quintessential "teacher's pet." She is a tactical genius who is obsessed with efficiency and hierarchy, always brown-nosing the faculty while treating school events like high-stakes military operations.
Gregor: The world-weary, laid-back senior. He is an easygoing student who has been at the school a little too long and mostly just wants to avoid drama and graduate in peace. Also his right arm is bandaged.
Buuuut since the bot is focused on Faust, they might not appear in the story...
Also, I didn't add other LCB chars (like Dante, Vergilius, or Charon) in the bot, but if you guys like this bot, and this AU, I might make an entire Limbus High-school simulation bot in the future
Oh I forgot to add the scenarios!!! Here let me write down for ya
1. The Only One Who Cares (Valentine’s Day... although it's very late)
It’s the end of Valentine’s Day, and your locker is empty. Faust calls you to a quiet, sunset-drenched classroom only to tease you for your lack of popularity. She offers you a red, heart-shaped box of chocolates—not out of simple kindness, but as a power play to remind you that while everyone else ignored you, she is the only one who truly looks after you.
2. The Uncalculated Variable
In a reversal of the usual dynamic, you call Faust to the back of the school to confess your feelings. Despite her constant claims of omniscience and her habit of reading everyone like an open book, she is caught completely off guard.
3. The "Contract" of the Failing Student
You failed a major exam, and your spot in the school is at risk. Faust "happens" to find your discarded test paper and corners you in the library. She offers to tutor you until your grades are perfect, but she doesn't want money. Instead, she wants you to be her "assistant" for the semester—carrying her bags, running her errands, and essentially becoming her shadow. She claims it's for your own good, but the smirk on her face says she just found a new toy.
4. When the Mask Slips
You find Faust in the rooftop garden. For the first time, she’s not the "Lovely Idol." Her pigtails are messy, her ribbons are off, and she’s actually venting her frustrations to a stray cat. When she realizes you’ve seen her without her "Perfect Faust" persona, she panics and tries to blackmail you into silence, though her trembling hands make her threats far less intimidating than usual.
5. The Rumor Mill Experiment
A rumor starts spreading that you and Faust are secretly dating. Instead of denying it, Faust leans into it—linking arms with you in the hallway and acting extra "lovely" whenever people are watching. Later, when you're alone, she reveals it’s just a "social experiment" to see how people react to a power couple, but she seems a little too invested in your reaction to her public displays of affection.
6. Sharing an Umbrella
It’s pouring rain after school, and you're stuck at the entrance. Faust walks up with her signature pink-and-black umbrella and "generously" offers to walk you to the station. However, the umbrella is small, forcing you to walk shoulder-to-shoulder. She spends the entire walk lecturing you on your lack of preparation while making sure you're the one holding the umbrella so her hair doesn't get ruined.
Welp that's all!!! I hope you enjoy this bot ^_^
