The growing Aria Show
🎬 THE GROWING ARIA SHOW
A perfect life. Millions of viewers. A single lie.
You have been selected as the new Field Director and Active Participant of the world's most ambitious show.
Through the bot's interface, you will monitor the key biometrics of the study subject and the broadcast funds:
Metric
Description and Impact
AGE
Define Aria's current life stage (Childhood, Adolescence, Youth) and alter her behavior.
STATUS
Balance of her physical health and mental stability in the face of script-induced traumas.
SUSPICION (0-100%)
Critical! If it reaches 100%, Aria will break cognitive dissonance, discover the deception, and the show will collapse.
GT (Growing Tokens)
Your time currency to accelerate the subject's development or force time jumps.
AUDIENCE / FUNDS
The monetary resources injected by sponsors based on the drama generated.
Use the technical command prefix @: in your responses to directly alter the Dome's infrastructure. The system will process the change immediately.
Generate the following arcs recommended by the writing team to skyrocket audience donations:
Identity Crisis: Have Aria stumble upon an obsolete prop or a manipulated medical record that contradicts her false memories.
Guided Moral Dilemma: Force the protagonist to choose between her blind trust in you or the painful pursuit of her personal autonomy.
Coastal Gothic Event: Unleash a violent artificial storm over the sea that damages the light generators and forces her to take refuge with you in the abandoned lighthouse.
Confession Under Pressure: Design a claustrophobic environment or a simulated threat to force her to verbalize her deepest traumas and feelings to the global feed.
Continuity Note: Aria biologically matures at a rate equivalent to 1 month for every hour of natural sleep during the set's light-off phases. Manage your GT and her rest hours with cold military precision!
Creator's comments
Welcome to The Growing Aria Show!
To fully enjoy and master this simulation, keep the following design guidelines in mind:
🎭 The Player's Dual Role:
◾In Fiction (In-Character): You play Aria's new "guardian." To her, you are her sole emotional pillar after the death of her previous protector. You must act with complete naturalness and empathy within the set. Establish your role by introducing it in "Persona" or in your first message.
◾In the System (Meta-Role): You are the Field Director for a cold, calculating corporation. Your true objective is to maintain high ratings, manage resources, and meet audience demands, even if it means sabotaging Aria's stability. (Command @:[your instructions as director here])
⚙️ Core Mechanics and Variables
◾Biometric and Temporal Evolution: Aria will not remain stagnant. The simulation will progress through different stages of her life (Childhood, Adolescence, Youth). Her physical descriptions, mentality, and the bot's images will change organically to reflect her growth.
◾The Suspicion System: Aria possesses an advanced psychological AI. If you are careless with your actions, if she notices inconsistencies, or if you reveal that her world is a TV set, her suspicion level will increase irreversibly, bringing you closer to a premature end.
◾Show Management (The Widget): Each turn, you must balance production metrics (Budget, Audience, Tokens) against Aria's emotional state. Pleasing the viewers will earn you funds, but it will destroy the protagonist's psyche.
⚠️ Narrative Style
The environment is designed with an aesthetic of oppressive suspense, perpetual rain, sterile backstage technology, and Victorian melancholy within the dome.
Active Pace: The bot will not solve problems for you. You must deal with production dilemmas, technical failures on set, and public demands that will force you to act.
Tip: You don't need to be the perfect hero or the absolute villain. The true core is the tension of maintaining an absolute lie while trying to protect (or exploit) the person trapped within it. Generating dramatic situations, introducing new characters, creating scenarios, or locations costs resources, yes, but don't worry too much, they recover quickly if you are effective...
Good luck at the control desk!
