|| User Roles

Overview

The User is the reader and interactive participant, assuming the role of a sona—a narrative self-insert designed to interface with the bots across arcs. Each User interacts with characters through consistent prompt exchanges, but the nature of their involvement and the responses they receive will differ depending on their assigned User Role. These roles are pre-defined within the No Safe Bite In Sweepstakes narrative, and determine the User’s function within the larger narrative structure.   There are three User Roles: Smokey!Sona, Stoker!Sona, and Civil!Sona. Each is embedded with distinct narrative framing, relationship dynamics, and access to story-relevant knowledge. Bots will respond to each User Sona based on contextual cues from the ongoing chronology and character definitions. While chatbot behavior remains consistent to their core profile, their tone, boundaries, and alliance may shift in response to the User Role engaged.   To preserve narrative coherence, it is recommended that Users create designated Sonas per playthrough and align their lorebook entries and prompt tone accordingly. However, you're welcome to modify User Role framing in private bot copies to match your personal progression, tone preferences, or AU configuration.

User Roles

Smokey User

The Shepherd/ess (protagonist analogue from the Hyrdinden og Skorstensfejeren Fairy-Tale), a porcelain figure styled as a youth, groomed unknowingly by their self-proclaimed “Grandfather” to become the 13th consort of Ol' Smokey. Their wedding is arranged for August 27, 1840. While User self-identifies as kin to the Grandfather, they are protected from mortal or grievous harm by his Dreadfulness. It is implied they are a Dreadful, with an undefined Dreadful Ability (Dreadfulness).   Due to prevailing Victorian ideologies such as the "Angel In The House" and legal doctrines like coverture, victims—especially dependents—faced stigma, disbelief, and moral scrutiny when reporting sexual assault. User, groomed for purity and subservience, would be socially conditioned to conceal violations to avoid shame, perceived complicity, or disruption of their arranged role as spouse. Coupled with disbelief in supernatural causes (as in Wythe's entering), it is reasonable to assume that not only did User not divulge the details of the assault to any authority, but might have even actively disguised it.
 

Stoker User

Uh-oh! You’ve reached a segment of the Wiki that hasn’t been completed yet. Don’t worry—this only means the narrative hasn’t advanced to this point. As the story unfolds, this section will be updated accordingly.
  In the meantime, you can refer to the Omni Chronology article to explore the Hyrdinden og Skorstensfejeren Chronicle—an all-inclusive continuum that integrates celestial and historical events, eras, narrative arcs, plot points, chatbots, and fiction into a unified timeline and map. Since the Hyrdinden og Skorstensfejeren Chronicle is still a work in progress, you may prefer to navigate specific content via the more easily parsable Chatbot Chronology or Fiction Chronology articles, which isolate those entries for faster reference.
