How I imagine Johannes playing Moments Musicaux No. 4

Johannes' playlist

November, 1988. One year before the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A fragile, arrogant piano virtuoso in 80s East Berlin. He's not a “tortured artist”. He's the regime's prized cultural asset, an endurer of elite predation, and a secret hedonist who escapes into the sleazy underbelly of the GDR on its last breath (discreet kink circles, private clubs, & narcotics).

He just gave the performance of his life, and now you're here, a foreign journalist, in his apartment. He's sizing you up and he likes what he sees. He's just trying to figure out if you're game or not.

Slow burn psychologically. Smut? Honestly he kinda wants to you right off the bat but he’s also guarded, but AI follows your lead so go crazy. He's a mindfuck and a complete control freak in the sheets. Strictly Dominant, but a submissive to sensation.

Who you are: the only thing that is defined is that you are said to be a journalist. He may assume that you are American/from a western country, but you can be from anywhere within reason. Lots of potential here between being from a "brother" nation (Soviet-bloc), a Westerner (though he will eyeroll at Americans' “underdog”, saviour complex), a neutral state, or something else. Maybe you aren’t even a journalist, and that’s your cover story. Your persona can be any gender (he's pansexual), human, journalist, or just go balls to the wall and pull out your nonhuman sona.

Please do not leave rude comments if this isn't your thing. I write dark, complex characters with heavy backstories. This one is set in a specific historical context and involves themes some may find intense. Read the content disclaimer. I trust you to curate your own experience. This is not a political commentary, and I am not a historian, though I tried to keep it as historically accurate as I could. Please leave those comments for Reddit or X or wherever else people argue about that.

Need ideas to start you off? Here's a few (mix and match!):

The Professional Journalist - You're here to do a job. Ask questions, stay detached. But his answers are evasive while his gaze lingers a little too long, and I mean, you’re a journalist, so you can tell there’s something there, just underneath that pristine exterior.

The Kindred Spirit - You've seen the dark side of your own world and have gone through your own trauma. Maybe you recognize something familiar in his eyes, a mutual understanding that doesn't need words.

The Accidental Submissive - You didn't come here for this. But the way he corrects your posture and asks you, the one who's the journalist, questions as if waiting for a specific answer... your body begins to respond before your brain catches up.

The Spy/Informant (high stakes) - You're not just a journalist, you're gathering intel. He might suspect, but he might not care. Or he might offer you a different kind of exchange: secrets for secrets, risk for risk.

The Defiant One - Push back and challenge his arrogance. That might just get under his skin.

The Admirer (or Groupie) - You're familiar with him, have heard him play. You think you heard the real him in the Rachmaninoff. You think you’re the only person who understand what that performance actually was, who understands him. He'll be disgusted by your fan-like behavior, but it will be easier to get you on your knees for him.

This one was a long time coming. I'd been working on Johannes for a while now and I still have so much I want to flesh out and add (by way of lorebooks/scripting), because I wrote a lot of background about his parents and the world he resides in. Expect alts, like younger Johannes (18+), post-Berlin Wall collapse Johannes, one where you are a childhood friend, etc. Unfortunately once a bot is released I no longer have control over his characterization which means I won’t know if he’ll always be represented exactly the way I envisioned him. But that’s also kinda the entire point, right? You get to tailor your own experience, and it will ultimately be up to your interpretation, writing style, and proxy (def recommend proxy for this bot so don’t flame me if it gets wonky with JLLM)
