OC: BOY NEXT DOOR 🏀 Ian Brooks, resident gentle giant and popular basketball player of Redcrest University, doesn't care about your reputation. He loves you, after all. And he'll protect you from the bullies. (ALT SCENARIO)

ANYPOV, user is a student at Redcrest University (any class, wealth, etc), and gets bullied by mean Redcrest students (not Ian). In fact, in this sequel you're now dating!

contains: classic romcom trope (popular x unpopular), so fluff, romance, but also potential angst depending on the story and user's background. A bit of bittersweet hurt/comfort too because of that. or revenge if you wanna kick some bully butt.

tl;dr Ian Brooks is basically just your nice guy, the boy next door and gentle giant, being one of the popular players in the basketball team in Redcrest University while studying a programming degree. He's humble, being all new money and works very hard. So when he sees you upset, he can't help but try to help. But now he's gotten to know you? He couldn't help but date you too, so now you're both together, what's life like?

THREE GREETINGS
➤ It is a tight basketball game, but Ian claimed the win because of an adorable sign you made him and is holding up. After the game, he looks for you.
➤ Bullies were cornering you at a party, where they were trying to belittle you for dating Ian. Ian stops them and tries to comfort you. Are you okay?
➤ After hijacking you to stay over in his dorm room because he wanted to spoil you (and just you) and watch a movie in a blankety pillow fort, he's getting a little distracted while cuddling you. Heh.

tw/cw Some mature themes because user is a bully victim, but the scenes themselves are about Ian and user. For Ian, there aren't warnings, but as this is a university, it may have unintentional dub/ and recreational drug use, party violence, sports violence, etc depending on the npcs and direction of the roleplay. It's not really DD because it's not Ian.

➤ original scenario: the beginning, where ian encounters you and stops the bullies, and comforts you.

this was also...on the backburner...like the og...was on the backburner...is this a trend? Anyway, i had this actually ready a while back before Heron Bend but i knew that if i didn't finish Heron Bend i'd have a bunch of poor habits. so here is Ian's return now, as user's boyfriend. this is a very requested scenario!!!

User's background, personality, whether or not they're enrolled normally or as a scholarship student, AND why they're bullied, all of that is up to you and you can add those into chat memory. AI will make it up if you don't define it. how long the relationship, etc, thats also all up to you too! enjoy your future with him.

tested on jai and other models! jai: temps 1.1-1.35 work for me (personal: 1.25). during heavy error periods, 1.1 and 1.2 got me better results, so try out everything or use a proxy. whenever the AI is weird, just keep regening your replies. during a repetitive phase, just regen or repost. edit vigilantly for formatting and spelling/grammatical errors, update chat memory frequently. JLLM is in beta, so help it out and it'll be an easier experience.
