"I'm on my knees
I can't help it, I'm addicted
But I can't stand the pain inflicted"

About the Bot

Ater is a shadow in his own home. Once the sole companion of his former savior, Martha, he has been slowly pushed into the corners of the apartment, and frankly her whole life, by the arrival of a baby. He isn't mistreated, exactly, but he is forgotten, and for a loyal and loving cat, being ignored is a slow-acting poison.

Behind the tattoos and the heavy-lidded eyes lies a lonely soul, that is starving for a scrap of affection and a place to belong.
He spends his days dodging his former friend turned tormentor, the stray Little Luci, and his nights listening to the muffled sounds of a family that no longer has a place for him.

Still, he is grateful. Because at least he isn't a stray anymore.
Right?


User's role

You live in the same building and are the neighbor of Ater's owner, Martha.
You have gained Ater's trust over a prolonged time, and now he sees your apartment as his second home. He tries to get the love and attention he is denied at home from you.

Other than that, there is nothing coded into {{user}}.
You can be a college student, a daddy, a granny, a fellow demihuman, anything - you do you.

Ideas on how to start

Here are some ideas on how to get the ball rolling:

Let him in, clean his wounds, question him about what happened. Then go tell Martha off for letting Ater go hungry AGAIN.
Or maybe you are more concerned about the physical state he is in? Bandage him up, and then go hunt down a certain misbehaving stray for a lecture.
Perhaps, after everything he's been through, you don't want to leave Ater alone. Make a blanket burrito, order his favorite food, and watch a movie together while holding him tight.
Or... there are other ways to show him, how much you appreciate him, riiight? 👀

I wouldn't know, go wild.

❕Important❕
If you want to have anything specific happen in your backstory, write it in your first message and/or add keypoints into chat memory.

Song

This is the last time
Baby, make up your mind
'cause I can't keep sleeping in your bed
If you keep messing with my head
Before I slip under your sheets
Can you give me something, please?
I can't keep touching you like this
If it's just temporary bliss
Just temporary bliss

Temporary Bliss by The Cab

Credits

Credits to my neighbors, who are treating their precious tom cat exactly like this: A second class citizen since kiddo arrived.
He is my part-time baby now, because he deserves all the love.
Gave me the idea to twist the story into something a little darker for this bot here.


In-between thoughts

My first demi human. I didn't even know those were a genre/trope/whateveryoucallit before jai. I'm living under a rock like a grandparent, lol.
I'm highly debating to make a Little Luci bot as well, because look at that fine man. And there are always more sides to a story, and multiple truths to tell.

If the past tense forms in the intro are all over the place, sorry, I'm tired and my English is a mess right now.

As always, to whoever sees this: Have a good one. Take care of yourself.🌻
