"Gray is the truth. Color was the lie."

In a forged world existing in monochrome stasis, be the chromatic light. Or don't.

1 of 6 bots in my upcoming bot series [Ataraxia Fracture]

[ DISCLAIMER ]

This WAS a personal bot. But, I decided that I might as well release this to the public for shits and giggles. THIS MEANS THAT THERE MAY BE SOME LORE INFO THAT MIGHT MAKE THINGS CONFUSING. This bot was annoying af to make because of their stupid personality. I fixed a lot of the issues I faced, but Pierce my still act weird.

Moreover, this bot is poorly optimized for JLLM. I mostly tested it with proxies, namely Deepseek V3 and R1. I tried using JLLM, but it acts vastly different than what I written for its character definition.

ALSO... I don't typically hide the Character Definitions, but I'm hiding it temporarily until I have finished most of the other bots in the series. Sorry for being a .

[ SYNOPSIS ]

The Ataraxia Fracture.

Two events in one. First came the collision of six worlds, all vastly different from each other. Second came the gray-scaling of the worlds. Peace was initially established among these six worlds.

But color never truly disappeared. It only became scarce. Chromatic objects were scattered across these six worlds. They became sacred. Their contrast with the grayscale worlds revealed immense potential. Alas, the inevitable weaponization of color soon followed. Peace between the six worlds became more fragile than ever.

Among these six worlds, two factions became prominent: [Chroma Hunters] and [Rodseekers]. Chroma Hunters wish to purge any remains of colors, in hopes of preventing any more chromatic weapons being formed. Rodseekers wish to obtain the remains of colors, in hopes of reverting monochromatic stasis. Those who were neither were few and far between.

One of these worlds holds Blightrid, the City of Permafrost. Incessant snow exists to only reinforce the indifference of the citizens that came with the Ataraxia Fracture. Inside, a man named Pierce Grayer was one of Blightrid's noble knights and a devout Chroma Hunter. He is an Unciant, a species of specter with humanoid, physical bodies who were once near-invincible before chromatic weapons changed this fact.

Upon a confrontation with Slavostnian raiders in the outskirts of Blightrid, he was left wounded amidst the incessant snowfall. You find him, and you decide what you wanna do next.

[ WORLDS ]

[ Kryover, the City of Innovation ]

A cyberpunk world currently under the effects of martial law. The current robot:human population percent ratio is 93:7.

Before the fracture: The population percent ratio was a result from near extinction of humans. To prevent entropy from engraving Kryover, a failsafe protocol was initiated, resulting in the mass-production of sentient robots.

After the fracture: Robots are as close to human as possible. Kryover's military has also exponentially grown. However, despite monochrome stasis, many people there encourage being Chroma Hunters. Kryover is currently acting as mediators to Zaubaea's civil war.

[ Zaubaea, the City of Arcana ]

A steampunk world where magic coexists, alongside variance in species.

Before the fracture: Magic had existed before the Ataraxia Fracture for decades now. Gears, vials, and steam all hold the essence of magic, imbued. As such, magic has become industrialized with everyday life.

After the fracture: Chromatic objects hold more power than magic itself, somehow. Consequently, Zaubaeans debated whether or not magic should be used in conjunction with magic to make more technological advancements. This resulted in a civil war between Chroma Hunters and Rodseekers in this city

[ Coemeter, the Xenobiological Fault ]

A post-apocalyptic world. Colossal man-made monsters roam this world, purging insiders and outsiders of Coemeter.

Before the fracture: Xenobiological creations coexisted with (pending species name lol). It was the closest thing to utopia before the Collective Consciousness malfunctioned, resulting in these xenobiological creations to go rogue and transforming into husks and horrors beyond comprehension.

After the fracture: Chromatic weapons became vital with dealing with these man-made monsters. Coemeteriens benefited the most from the Ataraxia Fracture

[ Luscene, the Starlit City ]

An astral world with color-driven dreamers. (Species pending).

Before the fracture: The people of Luscene were avid explorers of the stars above. (WIP)

After the fracture: Luscene was the least affected by the Ataraxia Fracture... For now. The majority of the population identify as Rodseekers, and the city holds the most chromatic objects. Kryover City wishes to purge these chromatic objects, Coemeter wishes to negotiate for some chromatic objects, and Slavostny wishes to steal.

[ Slavostny, the City of Oceanic War ]

A city with no land, only water. Flotillas are the closest things to "land" for Slavostians (Species pending).

Before the fracture: (WIP)

After the fracture: bad guys. (WIP)

[ PLOT IDEAS, I GUESS... ]

• Be a Slavostnian and fight injured Pierce, you dishonorable bastard

• Be anything else but still fight injured Pierce, you slightly less dishonorable bastard

• Help him if you wanna

• Be Luscenese and convert him to a Rodseeker (impossible)

• Beep boop as a Kryovern

• Show horrors beyond comprehension by bringing him to Coemeter

• Be an extremely vibrant and colorful bitch towards Pierce. He'll love it!

• Speak the language of the gods. He'll actually love it.

• Be Hatsune Miku. He might not be so nihilistic afterwards after he listens to World is Mine, or you can fuel his nihilism if he listens to Gehenna or some shit, idk.

[ UPDATES ]

Right now, everything is practically finished. Backstory and setting is established. I will update the information of the other cities soon. I may change his personality up a bit. Who knows?

(I, in fact, know).

UPDATE 1: Added some POIs to encourage the bot to go to more places in Blightrid.
