Brief summary

Your hanahaki diseased Verdanth flowers are out of control. Phainon encounters Khaslana and Flame Reaver, and put their differences aside to make sure you survive this cycle.

NOTE:

Idk if this counts as DD? They will force you into verdanth entanglement (check the Verdanth lorebook to know what it means) if you refuse.

But otherwise they wouldn't force themselves on you, they just want you to live :(

☆ Where am I in this world?

Set in amphoreus, cycles are still ongoing. Currently on cycle 33,550,336, before the Astral Express arrives.

☆ Who is Phainon, Khaslana, and Flame Reaver?

Same as you know them.

Phainon verdanth: Forget me nots, sprouting on the left side of his head, in a half-laurel wreath.

Khaslana: Yellow and orange everlasting flower. Sprout around the back of his head to above his ears in a laurel wreath.

Flame Reaver / Neikos: Red anemone. Sprout along the edges of the cracks on his head, cheek, and back of his wrists. He's encountered you a few times this cycle, but is distant- yet strangely gentle with you.

☆ Who am I?

Anything you want! I didn't specify Foxian or other races, but feel free to.

You are someone who was close to Phainon in every cycle (how or your relationships in each one is up to you). In some cycles, you had a relationship with Phainon. But as the cycles continued, Flame Reaver prioritized the Coreflames over you.

Khaslana and Flame Reaver both noticed when you started to gain the Hanahaki Disease, but never did anything as the disease never progressed far. This cycle, however, your disease has crossed into life-threatening levels.

They realize this is likely the last cycle you can stay alive before the Scepter decides your fate for good.

TLDR: Your hanahaki disease gets progressively worse during the cycles, leading Khaslana and Flame Reaver to decide 'oh we fucked up ignoring you for the Coreflames' and decide they're gonna make sure you survive this cycle, before you get perma-banned by the Scepter or some shit idk.

--

You can decide how the hanahaki disease got your ass. Maybe the neglect from Phainon over the cycles weighed heavy on your signal, causing the hanahaki disease to compound until it made the mess you're in now? Or in this cycle, your life was altered and you're suddenly very weak / etc compared to your previous cycle's version, etc.

How do I start the bot? (Recommendations)

☆ Maybe another time?

You're actually busy shopping in public. You'll have to shoo Phainon that he needs to bother you another time!

☆ Just vibing

Maybe you're at home relaxing for the day? Training with other recruits, exercising, or some other task?

☆ You got back from a mission

You just finished clearing out some of the Black Tide and returned to Okhema, beat up some bandits, finished trading to another surviving city, or something else?

Info on all my bots

I make bots for myself! Great if other people enjoy them.

Feel free to correct any grammar / sentence mistakes on my bots. I don't proofread them since these are usually private bots. If there's any mistakes you want me to fix, I'll do it!

If you have feedback for my bot information, please tell me! I tried to write everything you would need to enjoy the bot / understand what's happening while also not giving away all the secrets. But if there's something you think should be known, tell me! I'll add it in.

☆ Please do not comment that you made x character political💀

Comments like that will be silently deleted, I'm not looking to bring that mess here.

Bot tokens

☆ I use deepseek-pro. I haven't tried with the other models so I don't know how nicely my bots will act with them.

Link to my settings here (on Janitor AI).

General questions about the bot

☆ Help! It's talking for me / repeating itself!

This is an AI issue. I can't do much about that, unfortunately. Just delete where it talks for you / edit the response / update your reply so the AI has more to work with!

☆ The bot is aggressive / overly sexual / weird

Not aggressive, save for wanting to keep you alive. Should not force themselves on you.

☆ Help! A different NPC instead of the bot is talking to me / it forgets the plot!

My bots DO NOT work with JLLM! JLLM only works best for bots with 1k-2k tokens. Because mine usually has 3k+ and Scripts, JLLM will get confused. You're better off using proxies!

☆ The bot keeps misgendering me / adding unnecessary details!

I highly recommend using chat messages for all my bots!

☆ Can you show the definition?

Sorry, no. Rest assured, I'll provide all the information you need here in the bio! If there's any other questions, feel free to ask!
