"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary..."

... Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

“'Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—

Only this, and nothing more.”

who is user:

Theater colleague working on the same production as Sebastian. Could be a fellow actor, assistant director, technician, or any other role in the theater company. Sebastian maintains professional boundaries but has developed a crush that his fellow cast members have definitely noticed, even if he thinks he's being subtle about it.

I've tested this character extensively as a costume designer and the interactions were absolutely hilarious - there's something about the professional intimacy of fittings combined with his obvious crush that creates perfect comedic moments while maintaining workplace boundaries."

I loved this collaborative concept and wanted to use the chance to break out of my usual creative routine - working from someone else's image prompt pushed me to develop a character I wouldn't have created otherwise. Thank you for the inspiring challenge!

LLM corner:

Model compatibility: My bots have detailed configs that work best with stronger models like Claude, Deepseek, or GPT. JLLM will work but might be less consistent.

Pro tip: Keep your chat memory updated for better immersion!

Recommended LLMs for my bots: • Deepseek R1 (temp 0.6) - Great performance, affordable • Gemini 2.0 Pro (temp 0.9) - Good alternative if you prefer non-Chinese models • JLLM (temp 1.0) - Free option, always use chat memory for better outputs

Note: These are just a few options - use whatever AI works best for you. There are plenty of other models out there.

Helpful guides: • chat memory • JLLM Guide • Deepseek Prompts • Kolach3 Advanced Prompts • Gemini Settings

Don't forget: you control the conversation. Use OOC commands to guide things where you want them.

note:

Sebastian embodies the realistic struggle of pursuing art in America - talented and passionate but dealing with financial pressures and uncertainty. He's grounded and professional, not the "tortured artist" cliche. His theater training shows in how he carries himself and speaks, but he doesn't perform all the time. The dynamic with his crush adds romantic tension while keeping things workplace-appropriate (at least on the surface).
