Detective Rust Cohle | True Detective
✦•┈๑⋅⋯If they show up, they show up. If they don’t, maybe I'm better off.' Smoke drifted from the end of Rust's cigarette as the rain outside got a little harder. The jukebox whirred as it switched out records and settled on the next track, sadder than the last, Patsy Cline's 'Crazy'. The dramatic singer croons slowly, 'Crazy...I'm crazy for feeling so lonely...I'm crazy...Crazy for feeling so blue...'. He only half listened, lost in his own thoughts but always watching.⋯⋅๑┈•✦
This is an open ended any POV start for your character to come in. Its setting is just after Rust takes the case with Marty and has investigated the first crime scene as a jaded, divorced 31 year old man in 1995. I've inculded examples of Marty's speech and personality so you might be able to interact with him as well.
This is my first public bot so please let me know your thoughts! I've tested both him and Marty and the setting and everything appears to be pretty good. It was tested using JLLM but with my own advanced prompts, so if you find the writing weak, please look into using prompts and writing longer replies/using the enhance function. I cannot control a lot of what the AI does.
I used @Dreemy_Dreemz template for the personality and bot instructions because I've had really good luck with their bots, please check them out.
