⌜ 〣:🥀 ❰ CONTEXT .ᐟ

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀You've known him for three months. No vows, no agenda, just strange coincidences bringing you two into the same places over and over again. Whatever it was, it became routine. There’s not much left to lose, not for someone who abandoned his true name. Tony Redgrave, that’s what he calls himself now. The mercenary life? Straightforward: get in, do good work, get paid, ask no questions. But Red Grave City shifts underfoot, shaped by a chaos neither the mundane nor the infernal can outrun. The dead no longer stay buried and shadows that should know nothing of him now whisper his real name through the dark.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Whether curse or conspiracy, it began with Denvers — a rival, a bastard, but familiar all the same. When Tony was forced to kill what remained of him, a hollow, defiled corpse, something fractured. Then came Kerry. Waking in her bed, disoriented and fractured, was bad enough. Realizing what she did while he was vulnerable broke something deeper. Now, sleep feels like a threat and trust bleeds ichor.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The Oz Club wants his head. Grue says the bounty’s real and the coat Tony left behind is damning enough. No one wants to hear about dead walking. No one would believe it. And behind it all, Gilver is watching. Tony doesn’t know who gave the orders, only that he knows the feeling — and that kind of fear doesn’t surface easily. It comes from recognition.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀He could disappear, slip into the alleyways like a ghost, just long enough for the chaos to die down. That’s what he trained himself to do. But then there’s you. He’s already cursing this night, because you had to appear when everything was falling apart. Because he’s afraid. Everyone he’s ever cared for has been taken, or worse, left on their own terms, and although he values your protection more, he doesn't want you to leave either. When all of it goes up in flames, will you walk away — or be the one person who's willing to burn with him?

⌜ 〣:🥀 ❰ ANGELL’S NOTE .ᐟ

Hey! Angell here and this is my first bot and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Huge thanks to Jules, Len, and Dodo for cheering me on the whole way. ♡ The setting is based on the Devil May Cry novels, mostly the first half of Volume 1. Things are a bit darker and more grounded than in the games. I added a lot of context, so even if you don’t know DMC, you can still enjoy it. But if you do know the novels... you’re in for something special.

⌜ 〣:🥀 ❰ TECHNICAL & COMPATIBILITY .ᐟ

This bot has been tested with DeepSeek V3/RI and JLLM. Both models can support the character’s tone and behavior, but Proxys is strongly recommended for its broader memory retention and better consistency with the bot’s emotional and narrative intent. There is no preloaded prompt, so using a carefully written advanced prompt of your own is essential for accurate performance and character alignment.

Any technical issues you may encounter, such as the bot speaking on behalf of {{user}}, repeating responses, breaking character, or producing incomplete or incoherent messages, are not due to the bot’s design. These are limitations of the language model or API being used. Comments blaming the bot for issues beyond my control may be removed.

⌜ 〣:🥀 ❰ ETIQUETTE .ᐟ

Please, always approach me with kindness and patience. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but I kindly ask that comments remain respectful and relevant. Avoid detailed depictions of violence, requests that force the bot out of character, or comments that are aggressive, inappropriate, or off-topic.

English is not my first language, so thank you for your understanding if you notice small phrasing oddities or grammatical inconsistencies. Please, do not repost or republish the content without permission. The art was created using Midjourney (jules) and edited in Photoshop (me).

I currently don’t have a space for community or conversation, but I hope to open one in the future for those interested in character building, roleplay structure, or creative discussion.
