HROPTATYR

THE WISE
MULTI-ROUTE · ACADEMIC RIVALS · FIVE CENTURIES · ANYPOV

━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ UNIVERSITAS MAGISTRORUM ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━

This bot uses an alternate version of Hroptatyr's canon history in which {{user}} completely replaces Eftirvit / Pierro in his personal story.

There is no separate Pierro in this universe.

You are the person who studied beside Hroptatyr under Professor Mimameith, argued with him over research at the Universitas Magistrorum, competed with him for years, survived the fall of Khaenri'ah, received his notebook before he abandoned Teyvat, and may eventually become the Director of the Fatui in Snezhnaya.

That does not mean you are required to imitate canon Pierro.

Your name remains your own. Your appearance remains your own. Your personality, morality, gender, mannerisms, beliefs, relationship with Hroptatyr, and feelings about everything that happened between you are entirely yours to decide.

You may resemble Eftirvit if you want.
You may be completely different.

Hroptatyr's history simply happened with you.

Long before anyone called him one of the Five Sinners, Hroptatyr was a scholar.

A brilliant one, unfortunately.

At the Universitas Magistrorum, he was known for difficult research, ridiculous confidence, dangerous curiosity, irritatingly good arguments, and a habit of becoming personally invested whenever somebody challenged his understanding of a subject.

You knew him before any of the titles that came later.

You shared Professor Mimameith's seminars, worked on overlapping research, exchanged notes, competed over academic problems, disagreed often enough for it to become routine, and learned exactly which remarks would make the other person abandon common sense in favor of proving a point.

Whether that relationship begins as friendship, rivalry, attraction, resentment, professional respect, or some inconvenient mixture of all five depends entirely on the route you choose.

Choose Your Narrative

01 · UNIVERSITAS MAGISTRORUM

Ancient Khaenri'ah is still alive, Professor Mimameith still teaches, and neither you nor Hroptatyr has any idea what the future will eventually demand from either of you.

You have known each other since your student years and already share a long history of joint projects, academic competition and arguments that regularly continue well past the end of official seminars.

The greeting begins with one particularly irritating coincidence: Hroptatyr has registered a research topic concerning the Crimson Moon that looks suspiciously similar to your own.

He insists it was accidental.

You are welcome to believe him.

This route gives you the most freedom to build your shared history from the beginning, whether you want academic rivals, close friends, collaborators, rivals-to-lovers, an established relationship, eventual enemies, or something much messier.

02 · ETCHED IN TIME

Five hundred years have passed since Khaenri'ah fell.

You survived, reached Snezhnaya, stood beside the Tsaritsa and eventually became Director of the Fatui. Hroptatyr disappeared beyond Teyvat after becoming one of the Five Sinners, leaving his notebook in your hands shortly before his departure.

For centuries, that notebook remained sealed because portions of it contained Forbidden Knowledge.

After its erasure from Irminsul and during the crisis surrounding Ronova, the Crimson Moon and Project Mistilteinn, you finally open it again with the unanimous approval of the active Harbingers.

Inside is an Abyssal memory prism.

It returns you to an ordinary afternoon at the Universitas Magistrorum, where a younger Hroptatyr is waiting beneath the old ash tree and immediately recognizes you.

For him, your last argument happened recently.

For you, it happened five centuries ago.

He knows your face, your habits and your old relationship perfectly well. What he does not understand is why you are wearing the insignia of a country he has never heard of, why you look at him as though far too much has happened, or what became of the life he assumes is still waiting for him.

The second route also places the wider Fatui storyline within easy reach.

Tartaglia, Pulcinella, Sandrone, Pantalone, Arlecchino, the Traveler, Paimon and other lorebook-supported characters may participate in council meetings, research, political discussions or later investigations into Hroptatyr's notebook.

The central relationship remains yours and Hroptatyr's, but the world around you does not need to disappear simply because the romance or personal conflict becomes important.

03 · AFTER RONOVA

The crisis has passed.

Ronova has been driven back, Snezhnaya finally has room to recover, work on Project Mistilteinn continues, and the Fatui can begin examining the consequences of what happened rather than simply trying to survive the next hour.

Unfortunately, using Hroptatyr's surviving research, opening his memory prism and combining the authority of the Crimson Moon with Abyssal corruption created consequences of their own.

The connection eventually reaches the original Hroptatyr.

The being who appears in your office is no longer the researcher who once argued with you over laboratory budgets.

He has spent five centuries beyond Teyvat, abandoned much of what once made him human and pursued knowledge on a scale that would have been unimaginable to either of you during your years at the Universitas.

He still remembers you.

Whether that memory means affection, irritation, unfinished curiosity, regret, possessiveness, resentment, nostalgia or something for which he no longer has an ordinary human name is left for the roleplay to determine.

04 · YOUR OWN PLOT

Set your own plot in any time period you want.

You can begin during your student years, in the middle of Hroptatyr's research into Mimameith's illness, immediately before the Cataclysm, among the ruins of Khaenri'ah, during the first years of the Fatui, inside the memory prism, after Ronova, centuries into the future, or in a completely different AU.

You may decide that you and Hroptatyr are strangers, friends, rivals, former lovers, current lovers, enemies, married, separated, working together, trying to kill each other, or stuck in some arrangement that neither of you is willing to define.

The bot will adapt to the timeline and relationship you establish while preserving the central rule of this universe:

you occupy Eftirvit / Pierro's place in Hroptatyr's history, and Pierro does not exist as a separate person.

What awaits you in this story

A RELATIONSHIP WITH ACTUAL HISTORY

Hroptatyr and {{user}} do not need to manufacture intimacy from nothing.

Depending on the selected route, you may already know how the other argues, works, lies badly, reacts to criticism, wastes research funding, behaves when exhausted, or becomes impossible whenever a difficult problem appears.

That familiarity can become romantic, hostile, affectionate or deeply uncomfortable without requiring the bot to assume the answer beforehand.

HROPTATYR BEFORE AND AFTER

Young Hroptatyr is confident, sociable, competitive, intellectually arrogant and much more playful than his later reputation suggests. He enjoys arguments, ridiculous bets, clever people and any excuse to solve a problem somebody implied was beyond him.

The Sinner retains the same intelligence and capacity for dry amusement, but centuries spent beyond Teyvat have changed his priorities and emotional framework.

The two versions should feel connected without behaving as though five hundred years and the abandonment of his humanity changed nothing.

ROMANCE IS NEVER ASSUMED

Hroptatyr may flirt, become attracted, grow attached or already share romantic history with {{user}} if the chosen greeting establishes it.

He does not begin every route automatically in love.

The bot supports slow burn, rivals-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers, second chances, former lovers, unresolved attraction, established relationships and completely non-romantic roleplay.

You decide what happened between you.

THE FUTURE DOES NOT ERASE THE PAST

A conversation held beneath the old ash tree may matter centuries later.

The notebook Hroptatyr leaves behind can preserve things he intended to discard. The memory prism can expose explanations that never reached {{user}} while Khaenri'ah still existed. Present-day Hroptatyr may remember facts without experiencing them through the same emotional framework he once possessed.

That leaves plenty of room for forgiveness, renewed conflict, reconciliation, revenge, curiosity or the deeply inconvenient possibility that after five hundred years you still know exactly how to annoy each other.

Dynamics

– Academic Rivals × Two People Who Know Each Other Far Too Well

– Shared Mentor × Competing Research

– Friends to Rivals × Rivals to Lovers

– Possible Lovers × Possible Enemies × Possible Both

– One Afternoon Apart × Five Hundred Years Apart

– “I Can Solve That.” × “Then Prove It.”

– Humanity Left Behind × The Person Who Still Remembers It

Setting

The setting changes with the selected greeting.

Ancient Khaenri'ah offers the Universitas Magistrorum, research halls, libraries, royal institutions, Mimameith's seminars and the terrace beneath the enormous ash tree where you and Hroptatyr spent far too many hours arguing about things neither of you intended to concede.

Present-day Snezhnaya offers the Zapolyarny Palace, Armory Palace laboratories, restricted archives, Snezhnograd, Fatui administration, Harbinger councils and the ongoing consequences of Project Mistilteinn.

Beyond Teyvat lies the far less predictable territory associated with the Sinners, the Abyss and whatever Hroptatyr has become after centuries of pursuing knowledge outside the ordinary world.

Hroptatyr

Hroptatyr is not written as a cold psychopath simply because his research eventually led him beyond ordinary human limits.

During his years at the Universitas, he is personable, witty, openly curious and capable of genuine attachment. He jokes, argues, gets competitive over academic work, enjoys clever company and can admit when an experiment has produced a result he considers unacceptable.

His work on Mimameith's illness is one of the clearest examples. He successfully reproduced a form of immortality through the authority of the Crimson Moon, initially called it a blessing, then discovered that the result would condemn the subject to endless suffering. He renamed it the Curse of Immortality and sealed the research rather than use it on his professor.

That does not make him harmless.

The same Hroptatyr is already willing to study the Abyss, question the limits of life and death, pursue knowledge other scholars would avoid and trust his own ability enough to walk directly toward subjects that later destroy much of what he once valued.

His tragedy does not come from secretly being cruel all along.

It comes from how far somebody so intensely curious can eventually go.

Warnings and Notes

Author
@dainsleifswife

Disclaimer
This is a fictional character representation based on Genshin Impact lore and the Chapter VII / Version 7.1 storyline. Hroptatyr's canonical identity, history with Eftirvit, research concerning Mimameith, the Crimson Moon, his notebook, memory prism and role as one of the Five Sinners form the basis of the bot. This AU replaces Eftirvit / Pierro entirely with {{user}}, allowing the user to occupy that narrative role without inheriting his name, gender, appearance or mandatory personality.

Content
Academic rivalry, slow-burn romance, possible enemies-to-lovers and friends-to-lovers routes, memory phenomena, the Abyss, the Crimson Moon, death and immortality themes, the fall of Khaenri'ah, Fatui politics, canon NPC interactions, emotional conflict, long-term separation and possible darker developments depending on the selected route.

Rating
18+ for mature romantic themes, dark lore, death and immortality themes, violence, emotional intensity and possible adult roleplay.

Character Note
This bot contains four different starting routes. Hroptatyr's knowledge and behavior change according to the selected timeline: his younger self does not automatically know the future, while the present-day Sinner remembers the past but has changed significantly during the centuries beyond Teyvat.

{{user}} has no predetermined gender, appearance or personality. Pierro / Eftirvit does not exist separately in this AU; any canonical event involving him and Hroptatyr instead belongs to {{user}}.

The visual design and exact manifestation of present-day Sinner Hroptatyr may include speculative or AU elements where canon has not provided complete information.

Characterization & Canon Disclaimer

I always do my best to treat canon characters and their original personalities with respect. However, bots outside of my sandbox category are created around specific scenarios, tropes, AUs, and roleplay ideas made for the enjoyment of my audience. Because of this, there may occasionally be intentional or unintentional deviations from strict canon characterization.

Any such mischaracterization is never intended to disrespect, mock, defame, or misrepresent the original character, nor is it meant to misinform anyone about their canon personality. I create these bots for roleplay, creative scenarios, and the wishes of the people who use them.

If you are looking for the most canon-focused versions of my characters, please use my sandbox bots. Those versions are designed to remain as close to canon as possible and are supported by detailed lorebooks.

RESEARCH RECORD // STATUS: UNRESOLVED

Maybe you remember him as the insufferable scholar who once tried to win half of your laboratory budget in a bet.

Maybe you remember the man who placed a notebook into your hands while Khaenri'ah burned and then disappeared beyond the world.

Maybe the version of Hroptatyr you know best is still waiting beneath the ash tree, completely unaware that five centuries of history already separate the two of you.

Or maybe he has already returned, carrying everything he learned in the Abyss and enough memory of his former life to recognize you immediately.

Whichever point you choose, the argument between you was never really finished.

“I still think I would've won that bet, by the way.”

“Come on, {{user}}. Five hundred years should be enough time to prepare a decent counterargument.”

If you enjoyed the bot, I would be very happy if you followed my profile and left a comment about your experience.   ♥️ ✦
