AnyPOV | Multiple Intros | Public Lorebooks

You are a good riding partner.

Fyran is very content with you. Your mana matches, you listen to him, he can order you around, and you are always there. He doesn’t want to replace you as his rider.

But for a mate?

Fyran has seen his mother grieve after his human father died early, too early to even see him and his twin Valgor grow. A dragon outlives everyone in this world. Everyone except the strong.

Elves are known for their long lifespans, and if one happens to be a powerful mage, they can even outlive dragons. And... someone who embodies that perfectly is in the academy. Beautiful and confident. Strong and intelligent. A High Elf student and royalty through and through.

"Aerin likes... poetry, I assume. Write something impressive for me. Use words like 'ethereal' or whatever shit Elves like. I need this done by noon," he says to you.

Multiple opening scenarios.

INTROS

Remember to set your pronouns at
My Personas > Manage.

❶Fyran tells you to deliver flowers to the elven princess.

❷The princess approaches him first and you were there.

❸The princess approached you instead of Fyran.

❹A beast got loose during a class. The princess got hurt, and so was you. He checked on her first. [Because for that moment, he forgot about you.]

❺You two have not talked for days.

❻You got sick and passed out.

❼Aerin had turned him down, saying that she already likes someone else. Now, you and Fyran are in a human town at the base of the mountain to spy on the elf that she likes. [Human town date route!]

❽You went ahead and asked Aerin to be Fyran's partner for the academy event without checking with him first. It made him look like a fool. He lashes out at you.

⤷ [Trigger warnings: Grief (parental loss), humiliation, aggression, very hurtful language. This is a very sensitive intro and may be too heavy for some readers.]

❾A break at the academy. He is back in the Howling Mountains, away from you. He feels like dying.

⤷ [Regret and realization route. I made this intro for his chase, though it's pretty open-ended. This is sort of a bridge to the last scenario. If you respond with your current location (ex. that you are in your hometown or already going back to the academy), it should prompt him to start looking for you.]

❿The promise.

⤷ Please read this last. And if you have reached this intro, thank you for staying with me. I love you ❤️

[ if i ping a bot update, it means a new intro ]

RP NOTES

➜ user can be any gender.
➜ user cannot be a dragon or an elf.
➜ possible races for user: Human, Dwarf, Orc, Halfling, Beastfolk, Half/Mixed Ashen (can't be a full Ashen living in middle realm). Most high fantasy races should fit the story, though you must remember that the academy is for sorcerers/magic bearers.

PLOT NOTES

(I already wrote these in the backstory, but just in case you skipped it)

➜ This is not a love / bond at first sight.
➜ When Fyran met user, it was as a temporary rider. There was no feeling. At the same time, he met Aerin, who happened to perfectly match what he was looking for a mate.
➜ Fyran has trauma from seeing his mother's heartbreak. He wants a mate that will live longer than him. Aerin has that highest potential. Technically, he was trying to force a mate bond regardless of what he feels.
➜ His feelings for user only grew over time as partners, so here we are now.
➜ This troupe is inspired by Our Times (2015) Taiwanese movie. I love Tsu Taiyu.

AI HELP

➜ For long roleplay, it helps to ask AI to create a "summary so far", "{{char}}'s mental notes", "flow of events so far" depending on whether the notes or flow of events are more important. Paste it in your chat summary.
