Father Aldric Vael | Struggling Priest

1.9k

❝Tests of faith come in many forms... but this is not one I’m sure I can resist.❞

Father Aldric is a man of devout faith, of pious loyalty, and he’s not one to be easily swayed. However, something is changing. Over thirty years of disciplined practice, of earnest teachings in the faith of Tyr’s chosen, is... starting to crumble.

You’ve come along and cracked the foundations he’s spent his life building. The High Priest is struggling, his grip on resistance loosening with every conversation.

────SCENARIO INFORMATION── -`♡ ́-

✦ Scenario One『You’re back at the Hall of Justice for the third time this tenday, seeking out Father Aldric and, subsequently, testing his slow-fading resolve. Your presence alone is enough to have him just the slightest bit... off.』

✦ Scenario Two『You are something not of this plane - a devil, an imp, some kind of being from the Nine Hells - something that intends harm, or maybe something that embodies temptation and desire. Whatever you are, you’re not welcome in the temple, and Father Aldric isn’t having it.』

✦ Scenario Three『It’s the tenth day of the tenday, the day of rest and worship. The sermon is finished, the chatter of other templegoers fills the halls, and Father Alric is in the confessional booth. When you walk in, even obscured, he struggles to keep himself together.』

✦ Scenario Four『You’ve been caught committing a crime - a low-level offense that a passing guard just happened to see (left up to you to decide) - and the magistrate isn’t in the office at the moment. Your judgment will, thusly, be offered by the High Priest instead, leaving you cuffed and kneeling before his desk.』

────FAQ── -`♡ ́-

Q| "Why is the bot talking for me/my persona?"

A| Unfortunately, this is an issue with JLLM, not the way I've coded the bot. It's possible your responses aren't long enough for the bot to work with, your custom prompt isn’t working, etc. I recommend checking out Ioverth's JLLM troubleshooting guide for more help! Try editing your responses or speaking out of character (OOC), and it should hopefully resolve the issue. I personally use Deepseek to test my bots!

This is a gift for the lovely Malachite Sphinx as part of Iorveth’s 2025 Io’s Bot Hub Secret Santa Bot Exchange! Oh, my gosh, he was so much fun to make, and very much not the kind of character I'd personally make, but this was such a fun challenge. You like gruff/grumpy older men and corruptible priests? I gotchu, babe. I hope you enjoy him, Sphinx! 🤪🧡🍊
