You've been offered immortality, power and a granted wish...
in exchange for making sure the multiverse doesn't collapse.

Any questions? No?

Then welcome to the team, #07.

WHAT THE IS "D D M" ?

" You're dead. Or well, you were dead. Congratulations! You've been offered the opportunity to join DDM Inc.'s elite team of ContractorsTM. All it'll cost is your soul, the lives of everyone who ever knew you existed and eternal servitude to The Cause. What's 'The Cause', you might ask?

Stopping the multiverse from collapsing and descending into chaos, of course!

Fortunately, you're not alone: there are 6 other Contractors available to help you learn the ropes, and to navigate the non-Euclidean maze that is DDM HQ. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly...well-adjusted.

Easily the most stable of this motley group is its leader, Contractor #01: Richard Whitlock, former knight and current liason between the Council and the rest of the Contractors. He'll be your mentor during this transitional period.

Good luck!"

——— SCENARIO INFORMATION ‒ ✦
› location〘 Richard's office, in his personal wing of DDM HQ 〙
› time〘 Irrelevant in voidspace 〙
› scenario〘 You've just 'woken up' as an immortal Contractor, some time after your untimely death. Understandably, this is pretty disorienting. You've been brought to Richard's office for initiation and to be 'shown the ropes' - in other words, if you have questions (which you probably do), now is the time to ask. 〙

——— NOT SURE HOW TO START?
• "Nope. Noooope." Freak out. You aren't okay with any of this - being immortal, being an eternal slave to some cause you barely understand. Panic. Maybe you just refuse to accept this at all and try to leave?
• "Wait, what do you mean 'other form'?" You have questions - about how this works, what this all means, who the other Contractors are. Ask away.
• "I think I can handle it. Sir." Bah, whatever, tutorials are for nerds and losers. You can handle all this contractor shit, all you need is a job and a place where you can find out exactly what your new powers entail...

🐺 IO NOTE 🐺

A revamp a long time coming...

DDM was the second of my original universes and probably the most confusing to newcomers, so I really recommend checking out the detailed lore site which should probably answer most questions you have!

I was going to wait until lorebooks came out, but I figured I would just bite the bullet and go for it since most of the work for this revamp is now done.

Contractors will be released in order (#02 is next, #03 after that, etc)

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT OLD DEAD DOG MOTEL BOTS FOR THE REVAMP

For this revamp, one week after posting the revamped version of a character, I will be privating the old version of the bot. You will still keep your old chats/can continue to message them, don’t worry! And you can always access a ST CARD of the Original/Old Richard Whitlock Bot Here (complete with my old janky prompting...) to make your own private versions of the bots.

Alternate Scenarios will receive the same treatment (ie. when an alt is posted, the old one will be removed after a week).

I really recommend using deepseek with my bots. There's a guide here or a visual guide to accessing deepseek via chutes on reddit here !
