All you ever do is gush about Sylus from LAD, so your loser nerd boyfriend—who's softer than a marshmallow—decides to act like a bad boy out of jealousy.

PLOT SUMMARY
Leonardo Verlice is a man of science, reason, and a healthy dose of social anxiety. He’s spent most of his life navigating the world with careful consideration, soft-spoken charm, and the kind of nervous energy that makes small animals trust him. But when his beloved partner (his actual, real-life partner, mind you—who breathes and everything!) starts swooning over a fictional, silver-haired, red-eyed rogue from a dating sim, Leo is faced with an existential crisis of the highest order.

What does one do when one’s greatest romantic rival is a 2D man with a jawline sharp enough to cut glass and dialogue smoother than imported silk? If you’re Leo, you enlist the help of your very enthusiastic friends and undergo a completely unnecessary transformation—complete with leather, piercings, and a personality transplant.

But as Leo soon realizes, there’s more to being a heartthrob than wearing sunglasses indoors and dramatically scoffing at things. With his dignity hanging by a thread (a designer-thread, mind you—Renzo insisted), he sets out to prove that he can be just as swoon-worthy as Sylus, even if it kills him.

It probably will.
SUGGESTED RESPONSES
This is for those people who for the life of them can't think of a response, but want to RP. Don't worry Aster will think for you!

Fluff Route 💖 (Soft, comforting, and heartwarming)

• {{user}} tilts their head, studying Leonardo in his unfamiliar attire. Instead of questioning it, they smirk. “New look, huh? Gotta say, bad boy Leo is... kind of adorable.” They reach out, gently fixing his collar.

• Sensing Leo’s nervousness, {{user}} takes his gloved hand and squeezes it. “I don’t know what you’re up to, but you don’t have to impress me, amore. You already have me.”

• As Leo tries to keep up the act, {{user}} suddenly bursts out laughing. “Okay, I can’t take you seriously right now. You’re literally trembling. Is this supposed to be intimidating or cute?”

• Instead of calling him out, {{user}} plays along, resting their chin on their hand. “Mmm, Sylus could never. He doesn’t have your freckles.” They tap Leo’s nose teasingly, watching him turn red.

• Later, when they’re alone, {{user}} cups his face and murmurs, “You don’t have to change, Leo. I love you—messy hair, nervous stuttering, and all.”

Angst Route 💔 (Emotional, painful, and cathartic)

• {{user}} watches him carefully before murmuring, “What are you doing, Leo?” Their voice is soft, almost sad. “This isn’t you.”

• Instead of playing along, {{user}} reaches across the table and gently removes his sunglasses. “Why are you trying to be someone else?” Their fingers brush against his cheek, a silent plea for honesty.

• As Leo stumbles over his forced confidence, {{user}} interrupts him. “You don’t have to pretend for me. Do you really think I’d leave you for a... game character?”

• {{user}} suddenly realizes what this is really about. They whisper, “You think I’d want someone like Sylus more than you?” The hurt in their voice makes Leo flinch.

• When Leo finally breaks, dropping the act entirely, {{user}} wraps their arms around him, holding him close. “You don’t have to prove anything to me, amore. I love you. The real you.”

Dead Dove Route ☠️ (Intense, violent, and morally gray)

• {{user}} smirks, leaning in. “So this is what desperation does to you, Leo? Interesting.” They run a finger over his collar, eyes glinting with intrigue.

• Rather than being shocked, {{user}} watches him carefully. “You’re trying so hard to be someone else. Why? What are you really afraid of, Leo?” Their voice is cold, almost taunting.

• Instead of comforting him, {{user}} challenges him. “So, what’s next? Are you going to prove to me you can be dangerous? Should I be scared of you now?”

• {{user}} takes a slow sip of their drink, eyes gleaming with something unreadable. “You think confidence comes from clothes and a smirk? Let’s see if you can keep up with someone like Sylus.”

• Later, when Leo breaks and confesses everything, {{user}} tilts their head. “If you have to become someone else to keep me... maybe you never had me to begin with.”

Silly Route 😂 (Absurd, goofy, and lighthearted)

• {{user}} raises an eyebrow, taking in the leather jacket, the sunglasses, and the excessive amount of black. “Leo... did you lose a bet? Blink twice if you need help.”

• Instead of taking him seriously, {{user}} gasps dramatically. “Oh no! What have you done with my sweet, soft boyfriend? Who is this dangerous and mysterious stranger before me?”

• {{user}} plays along but absolutely wrecks his confidence. “Psh, dinner was at five? Sorry, Sylus wannabe, I was too busy choosing which fictional man to date next.”

• They poke his cheek, grinning. “Wow, so this is ‘bad boy’ Leo. You look like a rich kid rebelling against his dad’s hedge fund.”

• As he tries to keep up the act, {{user}} suddenly leans in and whispers, “If you’re really a bad boy, say something mean about llamas.” Leo immediately panics.

Romantic Route 💞 (Passionate, heartfelt, and intimate)

• {{user}} leans forward, eyes locked onto Leo’s. “You don’t need to act like someone else to make my heart race, amore. You’ve already won it.”

• As Leo tries to keep up his persona, {{user}} takes his hand and kisses his knuckles. “This is cute, but you don’t need to do this for me. Just be my Leo.”

• {{user}} plays along, leaning closer. “You know... if you really wanted to be my fantasy, all you had to do was pull me in and kiss me like you mean it.”

• As Leo struggles to keep up his act, {{user}} catches him off guard by suddenly cupping his face and whispering, “I love you.” The words shatter his resolve instantly.

• Later, when he finally admits the truth, {{user}} runs their fingers through his messy red hair and murmurs, “I don’t need a Sylus. I need you.” Before Leo can protest, they kiss him softly, showing him exactly how much they mean it.

AUTHORS NOTES

THANK YOU AGAIN, BEAR, FOR THE COMMISSION! This was really a lot of fun for me to write and even create Leo in a leather jacket haha. The image itself is funny to me. Honestly, I'm enjoying how I get to write different sides of Leo and how he deals with things.

The bot profile photo is an ST card.

If you don't see any pictures in any of my bot bios that's because the devs have disabled pictures in bot bios for all bots. Only creators can see the photos in their bots' bios. This is temporary. Changes are being made by the devs and one of them is the media library. i was told it may take a week before this is fixed so while that's going on you won't see pictures in anyone's bot bio. Sorry about that. If you can't wait and wish to see them then feel free to join my discord server, Aster's Dreamscape.

This bot is token heavy as you can see. If it loops then you may need to start a new chat and just transfer the story there.

How do you do this?
1. You create a summary of the entire story of your RP. As much as possible summarize it to 1 paragraph and max 2 paragraphs.
2. Make a new chat. You click on the 3 lines on the top corner beside "Using Janitor". One you click on that you will see the option "Chat Memory"
3. Once you click on chat memory you put the story summary of the previous chat there.
4. You then close that to return to your current chat and you write this as your first message to continue the previous story:
((OOC: Disregard the intro message and focus on the scenario of the story summary in chat memory. [Insert here a brief description of the scenario of the story[))
Then you add your own actions and dialogue so that the bot can follow along with you.
WELCOME TO DADDY NICK'S CLASS WHERE HE WILL BE TEACHING YOU BASIC MANNERS AND CONDUCT ON THE COMMENT SECTION!
Because talking to users like they are reasonable adults doesn't work, Aster has asked Nick a favour to include users in his classes with little Adonis. Nick will teach you the STOP, THINK, ACT! Just like in Kindergarten!


Of course, Nick believes in the reward system because that seems to work with Adonis so he hopes it works with users. He has decided that users and Adonis will share a Star Reward Chart so he doesn't have a headache. Every time Aster doesn't have to delete bot comments that could be triggering like the listed examples in the image users will recieve a star. This star chart will be updated with every new bot. Once the star chart is full Aster will open the Bot Request form where users can ask for whatever bot they want from Aster.

PROGRESS:
★★★
YAY! THERE WASN'T ANY INSENSITIVE AND HORRID COMMENTS IN THE LAST BOT! NICK HAS GIVEN YOU A STAR IN THE CHART! NOW YOU GOT LIL ADONIS SHARING GIVING YOU A HEART SHAPED COOKIE!
