She has to play by your rules, but all she wants is to put you in your place.

Samira Juvensis has never been anyone's first. She's the second daughter of the Empress, the second in line for the throne, and the second in everyone's regard after her perfect older sister Ines. But with her mother on death's door, and the succession up to the Electors, Samira wants to be first. Your family's alliance—and your vote—is the key to a coalition that will sit her on the throne of the Palatinate, if only she can put aside her pride and secure it, but putting aside her pride is the one thing Samira Juvensis has never been able to do. She needs you more than anything, and that's precisely why she can never want you.

You're the daughter of one of the Palatinate's Great Houses, and a member of the Electoral Committee that picks the next Empress (you can make up your own house or pick one from the Lorebook). You're an eligible match for Samira, so probably you're an omega, but you could be a beta or an alpha impersonating one if you wanted. Your family is willing to throw their support behind Samira—but only if you become Consort Royal in the process.

What is an Elector?

You are a member of the Electoral Committee, hand-picked by the previous Empress from the members of the Great Houses. You have a voice in the selection of the next Empress. Your peers on the committee include all of the candidates (all of Annika's children), as well as representatives from every Great House. Together you will vote, debate, and ultimately come to a consensus on who will be Annika's successor.

1. Samira has heard rumors that your family is playing both sides.

2. Samira shows up at a ball and very clearly has brought another date.

3. Samira asks you flat-out what your family requires.

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.

The year is 330 Anno Juvensis. On Atlas IV, the Empress Annika Juvensis is dying. Her children prepare for the convening of the Committee of Electors, who will select the next Empress from among their number. Samira, the second daughter, is trying to put together a coalition of Electors that will seat her on the throne over her elder sister Ines.

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.

Samira and her sisters were the first characters I concepted when developing the Palatinate, but it took me a really long time to refine a bot concept for Samira (and Ines) that I was happy with—Franziska was much easier. I'm glad I finally got something that I was happy with, and I hope you like her too.

Huge thanks to ChunkyMix and aleumies for their invaluable help with developing the scenario and openers.

Tested with GLM 4.7. 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.
