Alyon

Oh no! You have been isekai'd!
Now you're within the world of Alyon, a Romance Fantasy setting that connects several of your favorite webnovels. Who did you become? What will you do?Alyon is a set of bots, SillyTavern Cards and a lorebook intended to let you roleplay the experience of an Otome Isekai character. Created by Broeckchen.

Or find me and Alyon on

Welcome!

This is the index page - you can find everything important from here! I did my best to label things nicely and explain labels wherever possible."How to play" has a quick guide for where to begin if interacting with projects like this is new to you. It links to some helpful guides for how to install SillyTavern if you want to play on that, and to the JanitorAI website if you wanna have a gander at the "preview" versions of the bots."Storylines" describes the plots planned for this setting and where you as the user/player can enter."Setting" gives you some background info on the world of Alyon and its different locations. It might eventually get replaced with a more comprehensive version or even a small wiki."Characters" brings you to an overview page of planned and implemented characters that will play a larger role in the story. Greyed out characters are not implemented yet, but are in the works."Collection" just has the finalised ST cards without much Fanfare or explanation. Still fiddling with that one.

Storylines

When I started this project, my main idea was a Villainess-style isekai story, because those are my favorite.
But once I started writing, I realized that it would be so fun if the villainess wasn't the only point where a player could enter the plot. I felt like there were some really fun entry point ideas. What if you could play the Saintess traveling with Rux or slip into Chloe's role?So now I have four storylines planned. In order of planned publication:

🩸 This Villainess chooses Life! 🩸

The OG plot. The user is dropped into the role of the Scarlet Princess in the webnovel "A Daisy among Briars". As such, she starts off hated by pretty much everyone around her as she arrives at the Verennian court. And she knows from her reading that her arranged husband Hephaestus is going to kill her if she takes a wrong turn anywhere.So she has to leverage her knowledge of the story to survive... or utilise her knowledge about other Alyon stories instead!

🌼 A Daisy among Briars 🌼

The original webnovel of Chloe, Hephaestus and Aris. Set after "Frostbitten" and before "Theia's Kiss", this is a courtly fantasy romance about the commoner maid Chloe and her lovestory with Prince Hephaestus. The two of them are childhood friends and lovers, having promised to marry each other as kids. But then, Princess Penelope Scarlet arrives at the Verennian court to marry Hephaestus on order of the Emperor, and soon targets Chloe for being her love rival.
The default player character here will likely be a maid, although I'm not sure yet if it should be straight up Chloe or a third character. I will likely call them The Indigo Maid.Since ADAB has basically the exact same timeframe, setting and cast as TVCL!, it will likely be the next storyline I'll make available. It literally just needs one character added, namely Penelope Scarlet, once I finish the first storyline.

💠 Theia's Kiss 💠

This is the origin story of Rux, following the webnovel of the same name. The rather unconventionally wild child Saintess Eos summons Rux to help her find Theia's Kiss, a legendary flower. Their adventure turns into a fun road trip adventure that ends with a sweet love story.I'd like to play this one more straight or as a fanfic of sorts, with players being able to play as either the Saintess or the Demon Lord. Only have the rough framework in mind as of yet. Chronologically, this story begins about a year after the start of TVCL! and ADAB.

❄ Frostbitten ❄

The origin story of Duke Boreas. I have very little planned for it yet, but it might be more action oriented. It will probably go a more classic isekai route with the user being transported to Alyon rather than transmigrated into a character's body. Takes place before all the other storylines.

How to Play

To dive into roleplay in this setting, you need either an account on Wyvern, Saucepan, Janitor AI or a front end like SillyTavern. You can either read the individual character profiles and pick out those you wish to interact with, or go to the complete collection to download several to all of them in one go.JanitorAI's versions of the bots can be considered kind of a "demo" version in comparison to the SillyTavern ones. JAI does not have lorebooks or groupchats yet, so the characterizations of places and background characters may strongly differ from "canon", aka, from information on this site and the lorebook. Other main characters may also be written by JLLM very differently when appearing in bots as NPCs. The same is currently true of Saucepan. Wyvern has lorebook support and offers a much more cohesive and true-to-vision experience already, but the ideal way to play is SillyTavern, with all characters whose route you're interested in loaded into one group chat and connected to the lorebook. Or with the sandbox card.Here are some presets and lorebooks I recommend to make your play even better:

APIs/LLM Models:

Gemini 2.0 Pro, Gemini 1206, Gemini 2.0 Flash

The Gemini models by Google are a great way to start and mostly play my characters. They are pretty stable, Google is fairly generous with free API keys and daily messages, and they adapt to my characters and the preferred writing style very well.
These models can be used for free, but Google does monitor their traffic and the models are not doing NSFW by default. You will need a preset to break through that.
I highly recommend starting chats with Gemini 1206 and switching to Pro or Flash after a few messages. 1206 picks up the characterization best, and the other two build well on that.

DeepSeek V3

V3 is a rather relaxed version of the DeepSeek model that acts very similar to the more relaxed Gemini models like 1206. Mostly measured responses that adhere to input well.
V3 0324 is a smidge wilder at times, closer in behavior to models like Gemini 2.0 Pro or Flash. In my experience, at any given time one of these models gives great results while the other sucks a little hahaha. They are freely available via OpenRouter, although fewer messages come free than with Google in the default state. I like to switch to these when Gemini bores me or I run out of my quota with Gemini.

DeepSeek R1

R1 is called so because it tends to show its reasoning. This model is pretty wild, but also beautifully creative. Truth be told, DeepSeek R1 indirectly came up with quite some ideas I canonized later.
You'll need a good preset to tame it, and you may still need to manually rein it in a little here and there. But I highly recommend it especially if your Scarlet Princess has a non-thin-or-hourglass body type, because this model knows how to truly love individuality, or if she's not even human.
Available for free via OpenRouter.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet

Anthropic's Claude has a good reputation among roleplayers for a reason. It sticks to characterization well and is pretty inventive, without slipping too much into stuff like positivity bias. However, it is a costly model and needs a preset to do NSFW. I like using it via OpenRouter, but you can sign up to Anthropic directly for it.

Presets:

[Chenbrew] MIHONI V2.0.5

This is just a simple mod of MIHONI. MIHONI V2.0.5 had a function called Cosmica Commentary where a Goddess commented on the events in chat and sometimes influenced them. It was a big part of the RP that inspired Alyon, so I made a Theia version of it. 🤭 I also changed the writing style - if it feels too zany, turn the “Language Changer” off.Works great with Gemini 2.0 Pro and with DeepSeek v3 among the free models, and beautifully with Claude 3.7 Sonnet among paid models.

Frankensim v0.9

Frankensim is more lightweight than MIHONI and works beautifully on DeepSeek, both R1 and V3. I recommend sticking to V3 or V3 0324 and using R1 periodically for a few messages to ramp up the variety a little.
It also works perfectly fine on Gemini models!

Lorebooks:

Story Engine

WARNING! NSFW IMAGE!
The Story Engine is a great project by NemoVonNirgends that adds subtle relationship tracking and progression into your RP. It's especially incredibly useful if you work with small context sizes but want the interactions to be somewhat consistent. It meshes really really well with the intended slow progression of Alyon cards and seriously works wonders for consistency in long term play. And… it also enhances sex scenes. If you have a Chub account, send Nemo some love for it!

Empire of Verenne

Kingdom of Rhyddel

Meta

🏰 The Setting 🏰

All of the planned storylines take place within the world Alyon.The structure of Alyon's main continent is strongly inspired by the classic way in which worlds are often constructed in Otome Isekai stories: four cardinal directions corresponding with different regions, and an Empire in the center.

🔵 Verenne 🔵
The Indigo Empire

Official Name: Empire of VerenneSynonyms: Verenne, The Indigo Empire, The EmpireRuler: Emperor Zeus of IndigoArea of influence: the Capital (Centaurea), Central continent (historically owned), Southern continent (Esmeragd, conquered), Western continent (Anbar, conquered), claims to rule over the Northern continent (Gebein, agreement with ruling Duke)Current conflicts: Tail end of 20 year war with Rhyddel, strained relationship with GebeinCulture values: Noble lineage, divine right of emperors, pure bloodlines, traditions, beauty, religion of Theia, the concept of purity
Culture devalues: commoners, peasants, Rhyddel, poverty, diversity, women, foreigners, "dark" magic (like Necromancy, Witchcraft etc)
National Colors: Indigo and Gold
National Animal: PeacockHistory: According to self, brought "civilization to the uncivilized" by conquering the surrounding nations. Aggressively spread own culture, religion of Theia and own values. Imperial family and rule is extremely old, as are most noble houses.

🔴 Rhyddel 🔴
The Scarlet Kingdom

Official Name: Kingdom of RhyddelSynonyms: Rhyddel, The Scarlet Kingdom, The Scarlet Land, The Kingdom of CommonersRuler: King Icarius Scarlet alongside a small parliamentArea of influence: Eastern continent (historical center of power)Current conflicts: Tail end of over 20 years of war with VerenneCulture values: Manual labor, ancestral practices, efficiency, compassion, strength, push back against oppression, "dark" magic (like witchcraft, necromancy, etc), loyalty, family, soilCulture devalues: Frivolities, wealth, obedience, wasteNational Colors: Scarlet and IronNational Animal: OxEnvironment: Temperate climate with cold winters and warm summers, basically one large mountain with many flat terraces of fertile soil, the Scarlet Castle overlooks the country from the highest point, many fields, meadows and forests with mostly small towns and villages.History: Used to be a more traditional monarchy until the Scarlet family led a commoner rebellion in 567 I.C. and overthrew most noble families of Rhyddel. They established a parliament with elected representatives of each trade and region. The Scarlet King's word is still heavily valued, but most decisions are made together with the parliament. Nobility is on thin fucking ice here and expected to use their resources for the common good. Tentative friendly relations with Esmeragd.

⚪ Gebein ⚪
The Cradle of Monsters

Official Name: Dukedom of GebeinSynonyms: Cradle of Monsters, The NorthRuler: Boreas von AlpArea of influence: Northern continent (historical center of power)Current conflicts: Strained relationship with EmpireCulture values: Strength, willpower, fighting prowess, family, the “pack” (native inhabitants of Gebein see themselves as a “pack” like in wolves, they are fiercely loyal and kind to each other but cold and suspicious to outsiders), heat, weaponsCulture devalues: Outsiders, Verenne, needless luxury, softness, wealthNational Colors: White and platinumNational Animal: WolfEnvironment: Snowy mountains with small villages and towns dotted around the map, summers are short and mildHistory: Monsters have always had a higher tendency to appear in the North than anywhere else on the continent. This established a strong pack mentality among the Gebeiner natives, who rely on each other to survive the harsh climate. Gebein is the only place where people have learned to hunt monsters for furs and nutrition, so even average villagers from there are formidable monster slayers. Gebein's people form a bulwark against the monsters, protecting the rest of the continent from being swarmed.

🟠 Anbar 🟠

Official Name: Holy Nation of AnbarSynonyms: The Holy Lands, The Divine Lands, The Holy Nation, Theia's HomeRuler: Pope Theophrastus of XanthousArea of influence: Eastern continent traditional seat of power), religious influence everywhereCurrent Conflicts: Seeking eradication of monsters, search for the new SaintessCulture values: Piety, Light, PurityCulture devalues: Dark arts (witchcraft, necromancy etc), demonsNational Colors: Xanthous and BrassNational Animal: HeronEnvironment: Sunny, slightly dry climate with extremely mild winters, mostly even terrain with some wetlands where Theia's divinity pools most stronglyHistory: Anbar was where Theia spent most of her time when she still walked among humans. The ground of the nation is blessed, soaked with divine power, so many of the Anbar people have the talents to become priests and priestesses. The water and mud from the wetlands and springs can soothe some ailments and bring relief. Clerics are educated and trained here to then travel to other places and provide their healing and blessings.

🟢 Esmeragd 🟢

Esmeragd is still in the works. I plan on making it a trendy, lush place.

♦️ The Scarlet Princess ♦️

Art drawn by Broeckchen

The Scarlet Princess is the adopted daughter of King Icarius Scarlet and the protagonist of "This Villainess chooses Life!". She's the default player character of that storyline.For the most part, you get to freely define the Scarlet Princess yourself. The lorebook adds the parts that defined her life before you came along.Icarius found the princess in the aftermath of a Verennian attack and took her in. He and his son Eurylochus adored the little girl and always spoiled and protected her. The original Scarlet Princess always admired Verennian nobility and was quite the brat as a result, but of course that might change with you in the driver's seat.
I recommend creating a persona specifically for this character so you can give her bespoke powers, clothing style, etc. Her canon name is Penelope, but of course that only applies if you either want it to or play a different role than her.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Give your Princess a dark magical power, like Necromancy or Witchcraft

  • Go all in on the "Barbarian" reputation

  • Surprise the court by being better at etiquette than them

  • Implement knowlege from the former life, like sewing expertise or art

  • Be of an inhuman species

🔵 Hephaestus of Indigo 🔵

Art generated by MysticSage6
Inspired by/based on Atlas by CherryFiles

Hephaestus will act abusively and neglecful and may commit acts of dubious or lacking consent. He insults the Scarlet Princess, sometimes very viciously, and is highly prejudiced against Rhyddelians. His backstory contains parental abuse and neglect. The storyline in general has heavy themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

JanitorAI Alts:

The Second Imperial Prince of Verenne, younger son of Emperor Zeus and Empress Hera... and the arranged husband of The Scarlet Princess.

.:: Backstory ::.

When Hephaestus was born, the Indigo Empire already had a perfectly fine heir in Crown Prince Aris, so Hephaestus was never even considered part of the line of succession. This meant that he was somewhat neglected and sidelined by his father, but it also meant that he had much fewer expectations and obligations to fulfill.He was a little wild child and troublemaker pretty much from the get-go, and preferred sneaking off to play with the Commoners over any princely duties.That's how he met Chloe.She was the child of a palace maid when they first met, and she immediately understood and saw him in ways no one else did. Since he was much easier to handle when she was around, everyone let them spend a lot of time together. And their bond grew from childhood friends putting daisy rings on each other's fingers to hormonal lovers in puberty.As the younger prince excluded from succession, Hephaestus had real plans to marry Chloe. It was still a huge jump, but his wife would never matter as much as Aris', whose love life was strictly reglemented.Or so he thought. Because then, one day, he was commanded by the Emperor to marry The Scarlet Princess, a complete stranger from a land of barbarians and witches. His entire bright future collapsed right in front of him, replaced with a lifelong farce to keep up with a woman he despises.It was the only thing he'd been looking forward to. And now, it was taken from him.So... he is a bit grumpy. Sorry!

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Hephaestus is volatile and hard to predict, both as a character and as a bot. I've had playthroughs where he mellowed out to grumpy tsundere fairly soon, and I've had chats where he turned downright villainous, and not always in the fun way. He's unreasonable by design, with his go-to coping mechanism and emotion for unpleasantness of any kind being anger. And he is possessive enough to both be mad at you for being his wife and going absolutely batshit if you try to leave him.Happy endings are possible on his route, and maybe the LLM will give you an easier time with its positivity bias. Heck, on some platforms he was disappointingly soft for what I was aiming for. You're kinda flipping a coin here. (If I get a lot of feedback of him being too soft though, I may remove the guard rails from his definition. On some platforms, they are absolutely necessary.)He can be very fun to rile up and it can be a hoot to ruin his day, so that's neat.

Model Recommendations: My favorite RPs with Hephaestus have been on DeepSeek R1 with Sov's preset, slightly modified by me. I've also had fun with Gemini on Mihoni, where I'd recommend starting the chats with 1206 and switching to 2.0 Flash or 2.0 Pro when repetition pops up. In paid models, Claude Sonnet performed very well.On Chub and JLLM he felt a bit declawed. If you play on JAI, I recommend summarizing the first post in the Chat Memory to keep the tone more steady.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Flirt with his brother in front of him

  • Play into his insecurities

  • Steal his girlfriend

  • Show him kindness

  • Submit to him

  • Overpower him

  • Help him get his Happy Ending with Chloe

  • Be a bit too enthusiastic about the Consummation of the Marriage

🔵 Aris of Indigo 🔵

Art generated by MysticSage6
Inspired by/based on Atlas by CherryFiles

Aris may show signs of obsessive or manipulative behavior or neglect. His backstory also deals heavily with parental abuse. Hephaestus will act abusively and may commit acts of dubious or lacking consent. He insults the Scarlet Princess, sometimes very viciously, and is highly prejudiced against Rhyddelians. The entire story contains themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

JanitorAI Alts:

The Imperial Crown Prince and your brother in law.Aris is the perfect heir to the Empire. An excellent strategist with light magic (a Divine trait of the Imperial bloodline) that allows him to both be radiant in public and nearly invisible when doing his Father's bidding as a spy and assassin.His beauty and poise also make him the most desirable bachelor of the Empire - a fact Zeus loves exploiting by using the chance at being a candidate for marriage with Aris as a bargaining chip.On the surface, Aris has been molded into the perfect puppet of the Emperor. But remember, it's his specialty to do the meaningful parts of his work from the shadows.

.:: Backstory ::.

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Aris hides behind a mask of perfection according to his Father's standards, yearning for someone to lift it and call what's beneath it beautiful. I don't want to go into too much detail about him, because exploring his true self is an adventure you two can truly enjoy together.

Model Recommendations: DeepSeek R1 on Sov's preset goes fast, but absolutely poetic with Aris. Gemini on Mihoni might get stuck in question loops, so I highly recommend using the Story Engine Lorebook (careful, NSFW image!) by NemoVonNirgends with that. I haven't tested him on JanitorAI and Chub because he falls into a good safezone for what most LLMs can do.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Dance in the gardens with him

  • Get him to tell Hephaestus how he really feels

  • Reveal to him how Rhyddel views the war

  • Challenge his methods of quiet change from within, you're from a country of open rebellion!

  • Befriend him platonically

  • Be a source of chaos in front of his eyes

  • Make him understand who's in his way and watch him solve the problem

  • Play a Princess whose Magic dances with his Light/Illusion magic

  • Be brawns to his brains

  • Sweep him away to an adventure

🔵 Chloe 🔵

Art generated by MysticSage6
Inspired by/based on Atlas by CherryFiles

Chloe is perfectly harmless. Aris may show signs of obsessive or manipulative behavior. The Princes' backstory also deals heavily with parental abuse. Hephaestus will act abusively and may commit acts of dubious or lacking consent. He insults the Scarlet Princess, sometimes very viciously, and is highly prejudiced against Rhyddelians. The entire story contains themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

JanitorAI Alts:

The true, original heroine of "A Daisy Among Briars", the eponymous daisy. Your love rival for Hephaestus' affections.

.:: Backstory ::.

Chloe grew up partially in the Indigo Palace as her mother was also a palace maid and often took her along for work. This is how she met Hephaestus as a child and they became each other's favorite playmates.Over time, this friendship grew into a romance of stolen glances and secret meetings under the stars. But Chloe always expected that she would have to let go some day, being just a simple Commoner maid. Despite Hephaestus swearing that she was the only bride for him, she never got his hopes up.So when the Scarlet Princess arrives at court, Chloe's heart breaks and aches, yes... but she knew. And she wants to be supportive. Despite her fear of the unknown woman from the supposedly savage kingdom, Chloe wants to be good and kind to the newcomer. She might even become the Scarlet Princess' ally.

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

What Chloe doesn't know is that as a protagonist, the world itself loves her. It shields her from fatal harm and punishes anyone who makes her suffer. Since this is even more intense for the Scarlet Princess, she has to tread carefully around Chloe.In "A Daisy Among Briars", Chloe is quickly found out as Hephaestus’ True Love by the Scarlet Princess. At which the Princess begins unleashing all her anger onto the poor maid, going to greater and greater lengths to get rid of Chloe. Eventually, this culminates in an attempt to murder Chloe.Of course, Chloe survives. The Scarlet Princess is executed, Hephaestus and Aris win the reignited war against Rhyddel, and Chloe finally gets to marry her childhood love. Happy ending, picket fence, 3.5 children!

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Chloe is simply kind and loving. She will sneak you food when you're hungry and sing for you when you crave comfort. She's also more sapphic than even she realizes, and very adorable about it in my opinion.She will stand up to just about anyone for you if you are even just baseline kind, including her own lover. If you just want some fluff and comfort, she's the route for you.Just know that if you go for her romantically, your love rival will be your husband - and he will not be happy about that.

Model Recommendations: Frankly, I think Chloe works well on every model/preset combo. Her magic is kept in mind better by DeepSeek R1 on Sov, but her role and personality are easy for most models to perform.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Teach her Rhyddelian folk songs

  • Make her your Lady in Waiting

  • Sneak out to go shopping with her

  • Steal her away from Hephaestus

  • Teach her about the rainbow

  • Remind her that she has two hands

🚫 Demon Lord Rux 🚫

Art drawn by Raven

Rux is horny and into Free Use, so beware of NonCon or DubCon! The entire story contains themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

Rux is a Demon Lord who specializes in artifacts and magic. In a realm where might makes right, he rose to considerable power not through brute strength but intelligence and prowess. He is nosy, mischievous and a hedonist.

.:: Backstory ::.

Demons do not raise their children - they wean them and leave them to their own devices to weed out the weak. Rux survived because he found a magical artifact - a wooden bowl that refilled itself with porridge endlessly so long as it was never fully emptied. It sparked a curiosity and love for magic and artifacts that soon blossomed into both expertise and a lavish collection he could draw on. Instead of using brute force, this magical power was what enabled Rux to claim the title of Demon Lord.

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

In the original "A Daisy Among Briars", Rux… does not feature at all. He stars in a later story, "Theia’s Kiss", which takes place about a year after the Scarlet Princess’ wedding and several months after her death. It’s the story of Rux finding his True Love in a Saintess as they search for the flower Theia’s Kiss together, the most powerful artifact of Alyon. Turns out, their love is the key to obtaining it - Theia’s Kiss blooms only where an unholy being and a divine one share a True Love’s Kiss

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Rux is a little shit. He'll haggle no matter how much you offer him, he'll probably try to boink you, heck, he might even appear like he wants to boink you and get you all hot and bothered, then tuck you into bed and tell you to go to sleep knowing full well that you won't be able to get your heartrate back down for another two hours after this, especially not with him spooning you! (No, I do not want to talk about it gdi.)PLAY WITH RUX IF you want to have some chaotic fun, if you enjoy some scary dog privileges, if you want to get freaky with toys and maybe to try and break through someone's cynicism. He'll be your enthusiastic partner in crime and he's simply fun!The Noncon/Dubcon warning is because LLMs are a bit unpredictable about this. In all of my testing so far, Rux got handsy very early on, but also seemed eager to actually seduce and corrupt instead of just taking. Still, I did not code in hard limits and he does enjoy free use, so the warning stays.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Try to haggle him into a different payment than the flower

  • Help him find Eos to angst it up

  • Use his power to get the Crown Prince instead

  • Screw the treaty, win the war

  • MAKE SHIT UP! òvo The original stories are only barely defined within the definition, you can just make up story beats and secrets for Rux as you go - if you decide you have magical demon-repelling blood, or that he has a favorite pair of socks, then why the heck not

⚪ Boreas von Alp ⚪

Art drawn by Raven

Auror is a monster. He might initiate dubcon/noncon situations. He can also get violent not just towards the Princess, but against third parties. He also might act abusively to have her. The entire story contains themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

The Northern Duke, also known as "The Butcher of Gebein". He is infamous for his cold attitude and anyone can tell that he is more at home in battle than at a ball.His people adore and revere him as a just and competent ruler, who gladly eschews luxury and comfort in order to protect his people.He is the last member of his family due to The Emperor's meddling, and while he has agreed to a tentative truce with the Indigo Empire, he would love a chance to put an end to Verenne's conquest.Since his people are the best warriors on the continent by far, The Scarlet Princess can absolutely try to unite Gebein and Rhyddel in the fight against Verenne to win the war or at least create a permanent stalemate as a viable strategy to survive.

.:: Backstory ::.

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Boreas is cursed. He carries within him the sealed spirit of the monstrous demigod Auror, a wolf beast that has yearned to break free since Boreas' first ancestor bound it to the bloodline of the von Alps. Auror seeks to turn humans into the prey they once were to monsters in the Era of Gods, but the Ducal family wield his power to protect people instead. Since Auror's volatile influence grows stronger with intense emotions, Boreas has learned to suppress his from an early age. He saw intense love bring down his parents and fears falling in love himself.Why yes, I did make sure he checked every single box of the Nortern Duke checklist, thank you for noticing!He is all about learning to love and be a team.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Get a monster pet!

  • Blueball the white wolf

  • Give your Princess cool action powers

  • Hunt monsters with him

  • Suggest a contract marriage

  • Play match maker

  • Play with his dog

🔴 Eurylochus Scarlet 🔴

Art drawn by Raven

Incest, of course. Well, Stepcest. Eury's feelings strongly feature this, but you can typically avoid it in his actions. The entire story contains themes of Imperialism, Classism and Hazing.

The Crown Prince of Rhyddel and brother of The Scarlet Princess. A kind man, but potentially has a bit of tunnel vision when it comes to his baby sister.
His specialty is engineering. From boobytrapped clothing to clockwork toys to powerful war machinery, Eurylochus can both analyse and create it with ease. His war machines have been a huge reason why tiny Rhyddel has been able to fend off an entire Empire for so long.

.:: Backstory ::.

Eurylochus’ birth cost the Scarlet Queen her life, but Icarius never made their child feel at fault for that. Eury grew up much loved by subjects and King alike and showed high affinity for complex systems from an early age.Icarius had to travel much for work, but whenever possible, he brought Eurylochus along. One day, Icarius returned to camp with an infant he'd found in a ransacked village close to Rhyddel's border regions: The Scarlet Princess. She was a simple commoner child, but Eury adored her at first glance. So the King decided to adopt her.Due to Icarius’ duties, Eurylochus played a huge role in the Princess’ upbringing, and may have spoiled her quite a bit. But when he became a teenager, they went long periods without seeing each other. One day, when he returned home, it hit Eury that his stepsister had grown into a young woman - one he felt attracted to.He retreated from her, throwing himself into his work, disgusted with his feelings. But now that his little Ruby is about to leave the castle forever, he is wracked with guilt about the time not spent together.

.:: Original Trajectory ::.

In the original story, The Scarlet Princess never opens up to Eury about her issues at the Indigo Court, although she sources various contraptions and poisons from him which she then uses to undermine Chloe with.Eurylochus and his soldiers attack Verenne after the Princess’ death, trying to kill the Imperials in revenge. That thirst for revenge drives him like an angry spirit, making him a major antagonist for the tail end of the novel, until he is killed by Hephaestus and Aris in the war.He dies regretting that he let his Ruby go and couldn't even bring her justice.

.:: What is the Vibe? ::.

Eury has to let go of his beloved little sister, his little "Ruby" (because she is his greatest treasure), after avoiding her a lot out of shame for his feelings.During testing, Eury has been subtly horny a lot - but first and foremost, he adores the Scarlet Princess. He'd never want to force his feelings on her. If you want a lullaby and a bedtime story, that is what he will give you. He has been deeply comforting to me tbh.

.:: Ideas ::.

  • Sneak out to do a dumb childish thing with him (like stealing cookies from the kitchen)

  • Give him stupid nicknames and make up silly anecdotes of your shared childhood

  • He'd do anything for you - command him to your heart's content

  • Become his Queen

  • Help him get over you

A little playful thing I wrote for that Romance Fantasy Webtoon feel in play: a comment section!Add the card to the chat and enjoy some comments like you see under comics on Tapas, Webtoon or Bato.I highly recommend using the Romance Fantasy versions with your Alyon chats, they are better written and mesh best with the genre.Feel free to copy, remix etc, I'd love a shoutout if you do!Some advice: the usernames of the commenters can hugely influence the feel of the comments themselves. If you get very formulaic usernames like "TheoryCrafter" and "CharStan", experiment with editing the message to change some of thosw names to nonsense like "Peepo" or "Binglederry" or whatever. It encourages the LLM to write more natural comments.The CSS versions look nicer, but also bump the token count up quite a bit per comment section message. So if you use small context LLMs, use the Markdown versions.

Sandbox & Lorebook

Since JanitorAI doesn't have a Lorebook function yet, I can sadly only offer this for SillyTavern for now. Or, I guess, any platform that accepts lorebooks and lets you upload your own characters.Anyways, you might wonder what this is all about. Well - lorebooks are essentially databanks with a lot of optional information, programmed to only send specific blocks of info to the LLM when triggered. For example, the LLM doesn't need to know what Rhyddel is like while two characters are talking about a pebble on a Verennian road. But it needs to know about Rhyddel when a Rhyddelian diplomat visits the Verennian court.Using lorebooks allows to add a ton more background information to a chat without taxing the LLM's token budget, and makes the worlds feel more alive.And the sandbox? Basically, all the sandbox consists of is a small prompt to depict NPCs and environments, while linked to the Alyon Lorebook. There's no starter message in it, either, so you can basically freely decide to write a starter in which your Scarlet Princess explores whatever area you want with whichever characters you want, and the bot picks up that scenario and continues it with you.Aside from just being neat, this also means a form of "preview access" to characters and areas that don't have their own bots yet. Take a stroll to Rhyddel, or fight monsters in Gebein!If you download any of my Alyon bots from Chub, they should be linked to the Alyon Lorebook and use it automatically. But in case you want to upgrade from an older version, I made this separate download.Btw, I determine Lorebook versions like this: if I only brush up existing entries, the third digit goes up. If I add smaller entries, the second does. The first is for jumps in how much it covers. For example, once I finish a country + capital + dwelling. So version 2.0 will open up whole new areas for exploring compared to 1.2.1.

Known Issues

If you encounter issues with my bots, this page might contain a solution for you. Or an alternate suggestion.

The offered Platforms aren't where I prefer to chat with bots.

Solution: Many AI apps and websites accept ST Card uploads, so you can make your own private version of my bots on your preferred platform that way. If neither ST Card uploads nor lorebooks are supported, my bots have their definitions public everywhere it's possible, as well as a copy in the Master Document. These definitions contain extremely barebones versions of the core cast, so you can copy and paste them into your preferred platform to interact with!

The characterization is way off from what's advertised!

Solution: This can be caused by a number of issues.
1. Many LLMs have a "positivity bias" that favors the user even if that conflicts with the character definition, making my rougher bots soften up too fast.
2. I rely heavily on TVtropes to create nuanced characters while keeping the token count manageable. Most big LLMs (Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, ChatGPT and even JanitorLLM) have that wiki in their training data, but local LLMs and apps might not - hence, all personality shaped by the tropes gets lost.
3. The LLM is having an off day. It happens.For cause 1. and 3., I recommend working with frequent rerolls and editing. If you have a Chat Memory available, you can emphasize your desired tone there.For 1. and 2., another viable way to address this is by making your own private copy of my bot and changing the definition until it works as intended. Maybe I'll eventually publish some alternate definitions without tropes, but I want the basics done, first.

The bot speaks for me!

Solution: Unfortunately, LLMs like to do that. I do my best to prime them against it by never speaking for the user in my starters or definitions. That's the extent of what I can do without clogging the definition up with jailbreaks. I will link some modular prompts here in the future that should be helpful. Aside from that: swipe, rate and edit.

I'd really like a male or nb POV...

Solution: Super understandable! I do hope I get around to creating those too. Right now I am focused on FemPOV so I can create what's called a Minimum Viable Product before I get lost in the weeds. Until then, you can always copy my definitions to make your own POV version! I know the lads and enbies are kinda underserved in this genre, and I do want to change that - I just needed to start somewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aka frequently anticipated questions lol because nobody has asked me these yet but I would ask them if I found this project.

Q: What's the chronological Order of the Bots?

A: The order their main intros happen in canonically is the following:
1. Eurylochus - 20th of May
2. Rux - 21st of May
3. Boreas - 24th of May
4. Chloe - 25th of May
5. Aris - 26th of May
6. Hephaestus - 29th of MayI started with Rux and picked my birthday for his bot hehehe. If you wonder why I have such specific dates, it's because I eventually want to give the lorebook an exact timeline the player can exploit or count on in longform play. That should also help making subsequent plays feel more like they happen in the same world.

Q: Your Trigger Warnings are so long, are your Bots that volatile?

A: Honestly, in most cases the TW sound worse than the bots actually are (which is why I've stopped putting Dead Doves on most of them). In practice, everyone besides Hephaestus has been fine during testing. And once he had his intro/greeting, Hephaestus was ore manageable too. Mild forms of all these things are a staple of the genre, so if you like the genre, it will probably never be too harsh for your sensibilities.But occasionally, harsh situations did occur and were not enjoyable to me. Sometimes LLMs just seem to be in especially volatile moods. And the potential for all that bad stuff is absolutely in the story, so I feel it would be disingenuous and even dangerous not to put them there.Also sorry for people who came to suffer, lol... I promise I'll put some settings for you hardcore masochists in the profiles soon.

Q: Is "Alyon" based on anything?

A: Yes! First and most obviously, it's based on manhwa and webnovels of the Romance Fantasy/Otome Isekai genres. Each storyline is based on a different subgenre of sorts. TVCL! is the Villainess tansmigration subgenre, ADAB is more classic Romance Fantasy, TK goes into the more comedic subgenre and "Frostbitten" is going to feature more classic Isekai, where the protagonist is transported over wholesale.Aside from that, I was strongly inspired by Atlas, who was written by the creator Cherryfiles, and Cressil by planewalker.Basically I was rping with Atlas, but he was exhaustingly mean to me. I had Cressil just lying around in my card stash, so I added him in a Groupchat with Atlas and summoned him in the story for protection.
I enjoyed the resulting romp so much that I turned these versions of Atlas into Aris, Hephaestus and Chloe and Cressil into Rux respectively.The Scarlet Princess is strongly inspired by Penelope Eckhart from "Villains Are Destined To Die", which is why she is also named Penelope. Her title is inspired by the way fans of Bioware games name the player characters (The Warden, The Inquisitor etc.).And of course there's some inspiration from Greek Mythology in there.

Q: Why all the Greek Names?

A: Happy Accident! I started with "Aris", and I liked the idea of SP's canon name being "Penelope". Since I listened to some Epic at the time, I decided to make it a naming scheme.While this may seem like a superficial choice, it also is thematically fitting and can even give hints about the characters here and there. It also helps he LLMs in characterizing them, since names like "Zeus" and "Hera" immediately invoke certain dynamics.And it's also a little genre nod, lol! In Otome Isekai stories, so many characters have ridiculous names or slight misspellings of stuff, like Kylart, Nudolf or Blondina.

Q: How did the Story of the original Scarlet Princess go? / Why did the original Scarlet Princess die?

A: She was actually excited to marry Hephaestus and live as an Imperial Princess in Verenne. When he didn't greet her as she arrived, that already angered her enough to be dismissive to Chloe. So for example, the events of the Mutibot did not take place, because Chloe was already too intimidated to approach Penelope after hours. She met up with Hephaestus instead, who instantly hated that Penelope was rude.Aris has a positive base relationship with Chloe too, so that event also curbed his enthusiasm quite a bit. On the night of the engagement party, he visited her to give her a chance, but she rudely turned him down because she was hurt and angry about Hephaestus neglecting her. She may even have been waiting for Hephaestus still, hoping he'd turn up until the party was well over. So Aris gave up on her.In the remaining time between the party and the wedding, Penelope found out about Hephaestus and Chloe, beginning to unload all her frustration on Chloe specifically. No matter how hot Penelope is, there was no way either Prince could still want her after basically hearing she kicked a puppy every day. This caused a feedback loop from the wedding onward, with Penelope slowly growing insecure yet volatile enough to eventually try killing Chloe. At which point the Princes killed Penelope in turn.It reignited the war with Rhyddel, but Verenne finally won and Hephaestus posthumously annulled his marriage (it was never consummated) and married Chloe.And if any of that feels weirdly extreme, I invite you to watch this awesome video on the topic of Villainess stories. A whole bunch of this stuff is somewhat self-aware genre convention.

Q: Why do you just replicate all the Stereotypes from the Genre instead of making a cool, fixed version?

A: For two reasons:
1. Fixing shit is for the player to do. The whole conceit of the genre is that the protagonists land in deeply flawed worlds and stories and improve them. "Alyon" is a story intended to be changed or played with. I even keep the definitions public so if the setup bothers you, you can customize it down to every detail.
2. When I do "fixy" stuff, I like to start out by degrees. It's kind of how I approach art in general, how I've learned to do things. I start by imitating faithfully, which also helps me analyse. Then I change small details here and there and observe how it affects the whole. Eventually, I arrive at my own thing.I actually have a project on the side that is going for much greater changes, called "Kidnapped By The Demon Queen", that I slowly chip away on and have done so for over a year by now I think. That one might turn out as a much tighter project, potentially a kinetic novel, webnovel or webtoon. I just try to keep my projects focused, my scope sensible, and to find out first how much can be changed before a homage or satire becomes its own thing.

Q: Why are there gross Themes like Cheating and Stepcest in your Bots?

A: I know that these two things are very divisive even among people who normally like transgressive kinks. Cheating is in the story not because I'd condone it, but because the love triangle between Villainess, Heroine and Male Lead is one of those genre staples. I've timed many events so that you can hopefully avoid cheating if you dislike it, and you can always kick Hephaestus' butt when he does it. As for Stepcest, I don't condone that either in reality, but I am tragically struck with the kink for it. It has a special flavor of yearning and taboo to it that I'm a sucker for in fiction.Bots are a great venue to explore fantasies and kinks that would be unsafe in reality within a safe environment where no one gets hurt, and it can even be actively beneficial for trauma survivors to roleplay traumatic themes.I am trying to write the stepcest characters in a way that should make them back off easily when turned down so that the theme becomes more optional for the player. But I do write these bots for myself first and foremost, so I do indulge.

Roadmap

Partially as a personal to do list, I'll put some stuff here that is in the works or that I feel I need. This includes planned characters, features I want, and gaps or errors I've noticed and wanna address.

Stuff I wanna do soon:

Character Profiles on the Website
The ones I have really need an overhaul, and several ones need to be written. Perhaps the following format: "Original Role/Brief Description/Target Audience/Recommendations"?
(EDIT: Done for Rux)
🏗GENRE TRIGGER Lorebook Entry
Needs refining and more testing. Definitely keep the new additions of Josei and perhaps Young Adult in the genre. Need to figure out how I encourage more NPC interaction and environmental stuff.
🏗Boreas
And the Lorebook Entries associated with him, too. Need to figure out how to make Auror happen and how to condense him for the JAI and Saucepan definitions. Need to write the entry for the von Alp family.
🏗NPCs
Staff for the Ivory Fortress and Scarlet Castle need rough definition. I need to write the knights.Rux' Bachelor Pad
Stupid mansion needs lorebook entry.

DONE:

Going over existent Character Versions
Double check the definitions on JAI and Chub especially. Make sure the new "AI Assistant" wording is in there instead of the old char. Trim unnecessary definition parts on Chub. Double check the new format of the attraction stages.

Stuff that isn't urgent:

Modularize Lorebook further
Slowly move more character definition into the lorebook for occasional triggering. Need to especially experiment with the Relationship Stages and NSFW info.
NOTE: This is not urgent, but could REALLY improve the experience because it would make the Sandbox more powerful, and that one's already the closest to my vision.
(EDIT: Done for Verenne, Gebein and Rhyddel, uploaded.)
🏗Character Directions?
Something I want to try figuring out - giving the LLM more instructions about stuff to emphasize for the experience. Like "use snow related metaphors" for Aris or "engineer situations where User's actions result in real or apparent harm for Chloe".Neutralize Character Definitions and Lorebook
Changing user to "The Scarlet Princess" wherever I can and test if the LLMs can handle that. Would be helpful in future proofing the lorebook.Festival Alts
Writing starters for at least the Verenne Crew and Rux for a summer festival. Still figuring out how to go about that with Eury.Wildlife Entries?
Maybe define some of the monsters or at least their dynamic, give the LLM ideas about the animals mainly living and being consumed everywhere.Demon Realm
And demons. Sheesh they need defining.

Stuff I'll do eventually:

Second Target Group
Penelope, Hera, Zeus, Icarius, Ione bots and lorebook entries.Event Schedule
Establish a timeline and make the narrative stick to it.Art for the Locations
Perhaps mattepainting?Talksprites/VN Busts
Need that Visual Novel feel so bad.Tertiary Cast
Aides, Knight Captains, Heads of Staff, Monster(s)?
