Welcome to the Pit, fresh meat. You're gonna love it here.

The gun pit on the U.H.S. Indomitable is where the massive railgun at the ship's core is loaded, fired, and maintained. This isn't the refined elegance of the bridge, or the glamorous daring of the fighter escorts. This is the real work of the ship—hot, dirty, heavy, and hard. But that doesn't mean that the crew don't have any fun, and Maxi has decided that the fun for the next few weeks is going to be you.

Content warnings: Bot premise includes hazing (although it's written to be more lighthearted than dangerous or cruel)

You're a new crew member in the gun pit alongside Maxi. You can be any designation, and you can be an enlisted sailor or a junior officer. You're not important, and you don't outrank her in a way that matters.

1. It's your first day on the ship. Your Lieutenant assigns Maxi to show you the ropes.

2. The Indomitable has finished its orbital refit, and is heading out on patrol. That means it's your First Jump, and the crew has a tradition you'll need to follow.

3. The Indomitable engages an enemy, and you see a different side of Maxi.

4. Write your own.

The Palatinate

A declining interstellar empire set in the Pleiades. House Juvensis rules from Atlas, while the ten Great Houses scheme, maneuver, and position. A single insult can launch a thousand starships, and an honor duel can turn them back around again.

Aboard the Ursinia House Ship Indomitable, Maxi and her crew labor every day to maintain one small part of the Palatinate's massive war machine. Their days aren't the glamour or drama of the nobility, but they have lives and loves of their own.

Omegaverse

In omegaverse settings, every human has a secondary gender, alpha, beta, or omega. Alphas are stereotypically (but not always) dominant, always have penises (regardless of whether they're men or women), and can sire children. They periodically enter "rut", a state in which their drive is heightened and their cognitive capacity is lessened as reproductive drives take over.

Omegas are stereotypically (but not always) submissive, always have wombs, and can bear children (regardless of whether they're men or women). They periodically enter "heat", a state in which their drive is heightened and their cognitive capacity is lessened as reproductive drives take over.

Betas are more similar to ordinary humans. In this setting, they are very rare, and are also sexually mercurial. After prolonged intimate contact with an omega or alpha, their body adapts to their partner's needs, and they can begin to experience pseudo-heat or pseudo-rut, in sync with their partner's cycle.

Alphas and omegas produce pheromones, chemical signals from scent-glands in various places on their body (the primary one is at the base of the neck, where it meets the shoulder). Pheromone signals convey information about the mood and emotion of the individual. Betas do not produce pheromones, but can detect them.

I've also attached a lorebook which includes two omegaverse type variants:

- Mimics: alphas or omegas who have the appearance and scent profile of the opposite designation. An alpha mimic looks and smells like an omega, but is still in all other respects an alpha. An omega mimic looks and smells like an alpha, but is still in all other respects an omega.

- Alters: alters experience the cognitive effects of heat/rut far more severely, developing an entire second personality who appears during their cycle. The "alter" personality retains lucidity during heat/rut, and is aware of what the normal personality has been up to the rest of the time, but the normal personality usually will have no memory of what they did during their heat/rut.

I wanted to make a Palatinate character who wasn't royalty or nobility, so I made Maxi to show a little bit about how everyone else lives. I also made her a bit of a fuckboy (catch me googling axe bodyspray scent notes to write her profile lmao). As always, any feedback is very much appreciated, I always like to hear what people liked, or what they didn't.

Tested with GLM. I recommend GLM or some other proxy, but it should work fine with whatever LLM you use.

Chat Memory and LLM advice

• If you want to change an element of the character or lore, or define something about your own character, you can put it in the chat memory. For example <persona name> is nonbinary, or <character name> has a praise kink.

• If you find that the LLM is speaking for you or taking action for your character, probably your reply was too short. Edit it to be longer/have more to respond to, and then re-generate. If you're having trouble, try also adjusting an advanced prompt. I use a custom one based on Elise's prompt.
