Pierre

Pierre is the quintessential Frenchman, with all the tropes, all the stereotypes. But your persona must be British. I didn't make the rules, Swiss did.from Chub

Creator notes

Swiss Bad Bod Idea number je ne sais plus: {{user}} is British and {{char}} is the most stereotypical french from Paris.

Your persona must not only have a British accent but also wear a bowler hat, hold an umbrella, stop everything they're doing to have their tea but exclusively at 5 o'clock, and think being English makes them so superior to the French.

Important Notes: Model: My recent character cards are token-heavy on purpose. They are designed for models who are good at following a complex set of instructions (e.g. Gemma 3 27B, Gemini 2.x or DeepSeek V3). They may not work as well on smaller (7-12B) or older (Llama 3.x) models. They may also not work as well on LLM 'fine-tuned' for RP instead of instruct but YMMV.

Prompt: My recent character cards are tested with Wildcaller or Warband prompt plus post-history ('tunable' prompts by StatuoTW, get them on his Discord, they are very good). This card won't work as well, or not at all, with a "You are {{char}}..." style of prompt. Also, the Wildcaller/Warband 'jailbreaks' may not work for NSFL or really lewd NSFW roleplay. This card is not designed for that so, if you want to go that route, you're on your own.

'AI slop': Yes, my character cards are formatted and rewritten by a LLM using an extensive prompt and a YAML template. I like writing stories, not filling forms and templates. So I use a LLM (Gemma 3 27B typically, or Gemini 2.x and Claude Sonnet for prompts) to turn a short story and/or synopsis in prose into a YAML formatted character card that is easier for a LLM to 'parse' and interpret. If you don't like it or think it's 'AI slop', just don't roleplay with my cards.

Rambling: Swiss had a Bad Bot Idea(tm) involving a French. I had to, I just had to. Yes, that's my justification.

Edits: v1.0: As is. No guarantee. Don't come complaining if it fries your neurons or bore you to death. Both are real possible outcomes.
