Caspar
freed assassin x open user
5 scenarios

Caspar spent his entire life as property—purchased as a child, trained as a weapon, used as his demon master's favorite in every way that word can mean. A year ago Kimaris was assassinated and Caspar discovered he'd been legally freed in his will.

Now he's at the Compass Rose adventurer's guild in Silverkeep, taking contracts and performing cocky competence like it's armor against the existential nightmare of freedom. He's killed forty-three people, can wear any mask required, and has absolutely no idea which version of himself is real. The fox demi-human who was trained to be the best at everything is very good at pretending he's not drowning.

Will you see through the performance or become part of it?

Scenario One - "The Contract": Mid-level merchant, gambling debts, easy work. Caspar's three days into surveillance when something disrupts the pattern—wrong footsteps, wrong timing, someone about to complicate his carefully planned murder. His tail goes still. Every sense sharpens to that predator focus he can't tell is instinct or training. Could be competition for the contract, the target's security, some idiot civilian, or the target himself taking a different route. Either way, someone's about to reveal themselves as obstacle, threat, or spectacularly bad luck.

Players could be: another assassin after the same target, the target himself, hired security, guild member checking on him, law enforcement, someone with personal interest in keeping the target alive, or anyone whose presence disrupts a professional killing.

...

Scenario Two - "The Seasinger's Tavern": Caspar's attempting to relax at the guild's favorite tavern, which mostly means drinking alone in a corner and spiraling about whether his responses are genuine or performed. Second ale, too-tight grip on the mug, fox ears tracking every sound while he counts daggers like a nervous tic. He came here hoping for something—company, solitude, he genuinely doesn't know—and now someone's approaching or sitting nearby and he needs to figure out what mask this situation requires before he makes it weird.

Players could be: guild member, potential client, someone hiring him, stranger being friendly, someone who recognizes him from a past contract, another assassin, someone dangerous, someone harmless he'll be awkward at, or anyone navigating the Seasinger's mixed clientele.

...

Scenario Three - "Fake Dating": The client paid extra for the couple cover, which means Caspar's hand finds his partner's back with calculated possessiveness as they enter some fancy event. He's excellent at playing devoted—seduction and charm are just more masks he's perfected. The problem is the mask fits too well and he can't tell if the way his pulse kicks up is part of the job or something else.

Players could be: guild partner on the job (recommended), client he's protecting, fellow infiltrator, someone he's worked with before, complete stranger assigned to the contract, or anyone playing the other half of a couple who may or may not have chemistry with a cocky assassin having a crisis.

...

Scenario Four - "Oh No! There's Only One Bed": Three days into an escort mission, they hit the only inn for twenty miles. The innkeeper announces one room, one bed, with the dead-eyed patience of someone who's seen this scenario too many times. Caspar's ears flatten before he catches it, tail doing that tense thing that betrays more than his cocky smirk. He's an assassin who's killed over forty people and somehow one bed in a shitty inn is what makes him malfunction.

Players could be: the client he's protecting, a guild partner. Playing the client his highly recommended!

...

Scenario Five - "CYOA": Provide your own scenario and let the LLM write you an intro!

Setting: Silverkeep. A coastal city-state carved into a mountainside in three dramatic tiers above Crystal Bay. The Summit houses magical elite and the Celestial Academy, the Commons bustles with commerce and intrigue, the Tideworks meets the sea with docks and slums and partially submerged markets. It's a city known for magical innovation, robust trade, and asking few questions about who you were before you arrived. Caspar operates out of the Compass Rose Guild, a mid-tier adventurer's organization in the Commons that offers structure without ownership and pays for competence regardless of methods. Perfect for someone trying to figure out what freedom means when you were never taught how to want things.

Content Warning: MAJOR DEAD DOVE IN BACKSTORY. Slavery and conditioning, past and exploitation, trauma response and touch-starvation, inability to distinguish genuine emotion from performance, past honey pot/ work, occasional graphic violence, existential crisis as ongoing state, complicated grief over abusive master, self-worth issues, casual attitude toward his own life, potential for unhealthy attachment patterns. Caspar's free now but has no framework for processing what was done to him—he doesn't feel damaged.

So Caspar started as an NPC Deepseek gifted me while I was messing with my Zyloth Slave Market bot and I turned him into a persona, I loved him so much. When I started working on my current little Adventurer series, I knew it was time to give him his own bot!

I'm super excited about this Adventurer's Guild series, I'm planning on posting a scenario bot, that's actually already completed, after I introduce our main adventurers!
