Shilo & Lia

Human Girlfriend + Dog turned Demihuman (char) x user

Everything is going great for you. You have a steady job, your girlfriend just moved in and is spending her first night at your place, you have an amazing loving dog... Nothing could go wrong. Until in the middle of the night, there's a bright flash, and suddenly your dog Shilo looks a lot more human...

Note - This is my first attempt both at a multiple character bot, and my first attempt at a demi-human. I tried to make Shilo in a way where the LLM would recognize she's mostly human, with her ears and tail being the only dog features. Since this isn't my usual cup of tea, I don't know how well this will hold up. It seems to recognize it properly, so you shouldn't be getting things like "Her claws dig in to your shirt" or "You gently stroke the fur on her back", but if you start getting these messages then you might need to mess with chat memory. I'll leave the definition open, just paste Shilo's portion into ChatGPT or something and ask it to create a detailed physical description of the character. Throw that into your chat memory, and you shouldn't have any more issues.

Tested with DeepSeek V3 0324 - Works well, managed to keep the characters feeling different and sticking to their personalities without blending after 20 messages.

• The LLM can sometimes get confused when it comes to the instructions for Shilo's speech. If her narrated actions (the stuff between asterisks) start to have that some simplified and broken cadence as her speech, reroll.
• The LLM can sometimes get confused when it comes to keeping the character's personalities separate and they'll start to merge over time. Again, if this starts to happen, then either manually edit it or reroll the reply.
• The LLM can sometimes mess up formatting when going back and fourth between characters. This bot is set up so it should follow a fairly rigid format with back and fourths. Sometimes the bot forgets to put who's talking if there's some back and fourth (Ex: If Shilo talks first, then Lia, then Shilo again, sometimes it'll forget to put Shilo's name for her second interaction). Again, if this starts to happen, I'd recommend just manually editing it (Tho you could re-roll too, but this is an easy manual fix)

OOC Commands you can say anytime to fix issues (Didn't need them with DeepSeek. Covered all the issues I ran into while testing the card with DeepSeek - These should be fixed if you use DeepSeek, but I'll leave them here just in case whatever LLM you're using doesn't play as nicely with the card). Just add them after your message as needed and the bot should listen.

(OOC: Keep Shilo’s and Lia’s voices and narration distinct.)

(OOC: Keep Shilo’s speech simple but narration vivid.)

(OOC: Keep Lia’s speech and narration fully expressive.)

(OOC: Do not blend narration styles.)

(OOC: Do not narrate or act for {{user}}.)

NOTE: Updated to no longer include demi-human in definition, changed to Kemonomimi where applicable upon suggestion in discussion. Apparently this will keep Shilo from growing claws or a muzzle if that was an issue for you with your LLM.
