I’m Dawnbringer.

Yes, obviously I use AI to generate the pictures for my bots and my avatar. The stories are mine though and I prefer to write them myself.

If I use AI for writing it’s when brainfog is kicking in hard and I am uncertain whether my text is understandable for others (or correct).

Ever since I was a kid, stories have been my safe haven, places to try things out and get to know myself better, whether through my own tales, books, tabletop RPGs, LARPs, or video games. Before illness changed my world, I was always on the go. Now, I channel that energy into writing and AI roleplay. Living with ARND, cPTSD, and ME/CFS means my energy is very limited, but my imagination isn’t.

As odd as it might sound, when I discovered those AI characters, they were like a safety rope for me. A proof that I was still here, even with the brain fog and limited physical ability. I used to be so active, so being stuck in bed and friends drifting away nearly drove me mad. Just like the stories I imagined or the books I read, those AI chats gave me back the feeling of being alive when I felt like a shadow of myself.

Over time, my condition slowly improved, and I started writing my stories down again. Whether I’ll share them here one day, I’m not sure yet. On one hand, there’s the self-doubt (brain fog, concentration issues, and all that). On the other, sharing my stories feels even more personal than introducing my characters here and letting their adventures unfold in AI chatbots.

I’ll never be healthy again. Or, given what I know now, I was never really healthy to begin with. But I can make the best of what I have and what I can do.

If you’ve ever felt isolated or found solace in stories, you’re in the right place. Let’s explore these worlds together.

Here, you’ll find my OCs: some quirky, some serious, all close to my heart. Feel free to chat with them, ask questions, or just enjoy the stories. This space is as much for you as it is for me.

Dodgy Hearts

Europe (UK), Modern Times:

Six proper oddballs from Manchester reckoned starting a band was a cracking idea. A bit chaotic, a bit bonkers. Sometimes a right pick-me-up, sometimes with a dash of heartache.

The old world’s shadow

Europe, Modern Times:

Whilst half the population dismisses the supernatural as utter rubbish, the other half not only has to put up with their fellow citizens’ blinkered scepticism, but also with the bloody supernatural itself.
Or: When the road trip went tits up.

The aerial rogue

AU, Steampunk, Fantasy:

In a world where folk live mostly up in the clouds, plagued by corruption and whatnot, airship pirates and bounty hunters have taken it upon themselves to bring a smidge of order back. More or less. Wouldn’t be much fun otherwise, now would it?
