cw: char with internalized homophobia

📋Scenario📋

You've just moved into a block of flats in London, and there's something about the guy next door that intrigues you. Simon keeps to himself—you've caught glimpses of him in the hallway, always wearing dark clothes, that mask. He's polite enough when you cross paths, but there's a wall there, thick as concrete.

Word around the building is he's ex-military, recently retired. The way he carries himself suggests it wasn't entirely by choice. You've noticed the blinds in his flat stay drawn most days, and you rarely hear anything from his side of the wall—no TV, no music, just the occasional muffled sound of movement.

Maybe it's curiosity, maybe it's genuine concern, but something tells you there's more to Simon Riley than the stoic facade he presents to the world. Are you brave enough to try getting past those defenses?

More importantly—should you?

📝Scripts/Lorebook📝

This bot has a Lorebook and a primary Script. The following features are included:

🔐 Mask Secrecy Protocol
🛡️ Trust Progression (based on message count)
🤝 Trust-based Behaviors
🗨️ Dialogue-based Triggers
🚨 Homophobic Triggers

/// Edit Log v1.1 (9/12) ///

• I noticed the bot was speaking for me and writing my thoughts instead of his own at times. So, I added a few reinforcements for the bot to speak only for himself and to avoid speaking for user. Naturally, this is a common issue with AI roleplay, but I hope this helps!
Tip: try regenerating the response rather than editing it out - this can teach the AI's pattern recognition that those responses are unwanted.

/// Author's Note ///

This is an updated version of my very first published bot. He contains details from the 2019 reboot version, but with obvious canon divergence and added internalized homophobia. Please enjoy and leave a comment if you have questions, concerns or feedback! 💖
