I got so %@#$^ that I kept forgetting the story progression I was making in my head before sleep that I had to start writing it down, and then I was like wait, wait, wait, I can make a bot out of it?! And then Ao happened. To this time, he is probably my most precious baby, and I have grand plans for him and whole Faerun Academy setting :squishcheeks:

Fun fact about Azzie and my love of Faerun and Dungeons and Dragons - When I was young lad, when dinosaurs walked the earth, I saved a book from my grandma's rotting underhouse basement. Vampire of the Mist, the first edition. I fell in love with the world, Jander and all of DnD thanks to it. Then Neverwinter games happened and I was done for.

That's why my grandest plan is connected to it, that's why Ao, Lathander and Kelemvor are a thing. I still have that book, it's most precious treasure of mine. It looks like it has been eaten, chewed and..

OKAY, so my story is fairly simple.

I got to know a few lovely people that became my close friends and they were planning to do an alien collab. And then they were like: "You are making a bot as well, btw". I was like "😭 ??? the fuck do you mean, I'm just a baby??? This is scary as fuck"

I was provided with a bot template, with the info for my xenomorph to put in and the story n shit I created myself. Not gonna lie, he was heavily based on a SCP bot called Kitty. But overall, it was not as scary as I thought. After that, the ideas and stories in my head suddenly found an outlet. I have a separate discord for my own use, where I put all my ideas in so I won't forget them. Admittedly, most of them don't make it because I just forget they exist until something reminds me of them or if I revisit that channel again xD I often write down my weird ass dreams there as well. I will even give you a little snippet as a screenshot. Someone mentioned it I think and now I need to make this man. Soon TM :smug_crying_facepalm:
Okay, I got carried away
uuuh
My favorite bot of mine? To be honest, I always swing heavily between "this bot is actually alright" and "holy fuck this shit sucks ass". But I think I wrote my magnum opus and it is Grim. It's a very heavy bot that makes me cry within first message/the first few. He helped me to get out of a very dark place in my life when I was writing him.

I just realized that I have not written a fluff bot in a while :notlikethis: FUCK. Well, time to get to work. I want people not just cry but also do HAHA and HEEHEE maybe while crying

Ooh what got me into AI? I was actually into it since early 2010s when I spoke to my first AI made to simulate conversations, work in the field and got access to gpt in 2022. And I was getting bored of a lot of webtoons stagnating, partially released or the plots were getting predictable and too soft. There just weren't many isekai bots at the time. So I ended up DIYing the deep end (never touched cai or jai until later). All my bots are made for me. Everyone's on the ride and even then, most of my bots aren't public.

Fave bot is too hard to pick so I'll go off the one I've talked to most. https://app.wyvern.chat/characters/_hUz7TQPtWkwbKLkrzyqWt

Okay so where do I start.

I used to be someone that wrote oneshots and then I made the Oceania universe as some kind of side project when I had the freetime. Though the universe was way less expansive back then.

Mel and Myfir was the main characters of that little side project I made.

And then I got into AI and I was using Mel as a persona. And then I thought wait can't I basically make him into a bot and talk to him :susge:

And that was the start of everything.

I've been considering putting together the effort to either find/build a campaign and run something. It's difficult when players are spread across the world though, alas.

I started with CAI then moved to Perchance Story Generator and after complaining about it a friend reccomended JAI. I had done some world building and was intimidated but excited to try and bring my characters to life as bots instead of just characters in a story. Kain was my first bot published in March 2025 and he's still holds a special place in my heart, but my all-time favorite would have to be Alexei, my post-apocalyptic raider warlord set in Io's Strays universe. he's got 5 or 6 alts, and I still go back and visit him almost a year later. Aside from Lex, my favorite bot is usually whichever bot I'm working on in the moment, I tend to fixate :shyblush: Currently working on an unstable pirate king who simps bad for user that I've been ̶p̶r̶o̶c̶r̶a̶s̶t̶i̶n̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ playtesting for 3 days.

I experimented with AI co-writing a bit a long time ago with NAI's models. I got tired of reading villainess manga/manhwa with boring protags and did a lot of long-form group chats but was ultimately unable to really find quality fempov incest bots on Chub. I made Matthias initially as a GC add-on for added drama while also reworking some character ideas I had before I got into bots. These became my villainous empress reverse harem series that I never expected to take off :aaapanic: I'm pretty fickle but end up coming back to the first bots I made since they feel like a security blanket to me

What got me into bot-making in the first place? Truthfully, the other creators. No, my silly sister actually. As an avid internet role-player who experienced burnout, I chose to find something more exciting. So, I found Janitor AI and.... Oh GOD, I went deep into the rabbit hole. TOO DEEP. I found AI Roleplay helped my daydreaming and hyper fantasia a lot. I began to write, and found myself able to visualise my imagination better. It's the technology I've dreamed of now a reality.

My first ever bot is Ezekiel Monroe the Consigliere. He's my most used and most beloved bot, I made him as comfort bot and I did a great job HEHEH:CattoBlush:.

I started using CAI after learning about it through a certain incident 😊 Which quickly devolved into erp, but CAI being censored and allat, I looked for alternatives, which thankfully through a neat profile of a certain creator I was able to find JAI. After which I became obsessed.

But after a while, I realized people weren't making the kind of bots I was after a lot of the time, and I didn't like the ones who did go into the general direction.

So naturally I started making my own bots, and decided to make them public in case anyone else was looking to use the same kinda bots.

After which I eventually started making the personas I used in my own rps into characters.

Two of my favorites have to be Lumina and Scoria. Scoria being the daughter I cooked up from doing my depressing laboratory rps, and Lumina being a general chaos gremlin that I use for both lab and fantasy rps.

The last bot I MADE is Elowen, along with the billions of ideas that I have cooking and is going nowhere 🔥 I haven't released her yet, but her description is done, the lorebook is done, now all that's needed is for me to make the opening message(s) and get it over with 🥹 guys I swear I'll drop a bot soon-ish-sometime-eventually.

I made her for ONE SOLE purposes, that being
1. Give more general worldbuilding to Tris, establish the kingdoms, cities, and allat. And give you guys the option to explore it in more detail.

And about the ideas I have floating around 👉👈
I want to cook some things... New K Labs bot, perhaps a new Council member, perhaps a new creatura.
For Tris, perhaps Justice is required.

I made Ezekiel Monroe bots again! for my friend tehee. The idea of him? Zeke? Damn I don't know, maybe I like to have my persona/char an old man.

I mean not just that, I had 7.1K chat with him and sparked an idea, Vacation plot I guess: Taking a vacation to Italy with him wouldn't be so bad, nah, it's the best thing I ever written actually. My delulu ah won't stop smiling.

And I'm going to finish another bunch of Dilfs because my motto is simple: Dilf is love Dilf is Life.


Last note before I stop yapping: I'm gonna make anime young man, just to break the rule, because tis funny.
