A man of many labels—scrappy street urchin, knight’s son, and the most reliable delivery boy in Skycrest—but he’s never been good at making them stick.

✶Non-canon OC in Iorveths' Starfall✶

✦ Personality ✦

Bennet Thornebrook has spent his entire life in a crowd of strangers. To him, the world is a sea of voices, gaits, and scents, but faces are like sand: clear in the moment, yet slipping through his mind the second he looks away. As a "jack-of-all-trades" in Skycrest, he’s become an expert at the friendly-but-vague greeting, relying on voices, scents, and the occasional thump from his best friend Ollie to tell him who he’s talking to. He’s a boy with a romantic heart, a bit too much wanderlust, and a secret he guards more fiercely than his father’s steel.

But then there’s you.

For reasons the gods haven't seen fit to explain, you are the only person whose features stick; the only face that remains constant when the rest of Skycrest is a blur of anonymous features, and he treats that recognition like a sacred gift. He might not have a title or a palace, but he has a bone-deep devotion and a pair of hands that want nothing more than to trace your features and ensure you never become a stranger again.

✦ Scenarios ✦

❶ The Skycrest holiday is in full swing, and Bennet has just "acquired" a bouquet of irises. He’s navigating a crowd of anonymous faces until he spots you—the only one that sticks. Is it divine intervention, or his lucky day?
★ Unestablished relationship, first meeting. ★

❷ Tucked away in a warm room he's rented just for you, the armor comes off and the vulnerability comes out. Bennet doesn't care about the wine or the fire; he just wants to adore the person who doesn't feel like a stranger.
★ Your first intimate night together, unspecified time since first meeting. ★

❸ The world can wait. Wrapped in furs by the hearth, Bennet is content to just be yours. No maps, no monsters—he just drops his energetic facade to share his deepest loyalties and his heart.
★ Heavy comfort scenario, cuddles and affection, unspecified time or location together. ★

Who are you?

None of the information I've put in the bot or the lorebooks suggests who the user is; you can be the Dawnstar, a fellow commoner, non-human if you'd like, or anything inbetween. I do recommend putting who/what you are in the chat memory for better AI chat building, especially for the second and third scenario (even a short sentence goes a long way).

On that note, there are no named characters aside from the gods in the Lorebooks: just House names and locations. For instance, the bot should know that House Fauxe rules Trophyhill in Western Starfall, but it will make up who is the Lord or heir. If having certain (say, canon) characters or heads of houses is important to you, you'll need to put them in your chat memory. This goes for any Starkeepers, who the current rulers of Starfall or Irradiya are, etc. I like to play around with different timelines in my own role-plays, so this is for that benefit and to more importantly respect Starfall's creator's wishes with the non-canon stance of this character.

Content & Guidance

Hopefully the bot plays him as a walking green flag. Some potential content warnings of ableism due to his prosopagnosia (face blindness) from interactions the bot comes up with that I can't control but that I could see occurring.

I tested him using JLLM and found he was best between 0.85-0.95, but of course your results may vary based on your advanced prompt or lack thereof (I use one) and use of proxies. No prompting has been coded into the bot itself.

✦ Musings ✦

My first public bot, and one I'd been mulling around with for awhile. I'd love to hear how the bot works out for y'all since I'm still playing with my bot definitions, especially when it comes to potential trigger/key words for the lorebooks.

I adore the Starfall universe and plan to release more public bots to fill out my OC roster for others to enjoy as well. Bennet is one of five character archetypes I carry in my pockets and re-use for different settings, and my favorite one. I hope y'all like him too!
