Who Dorian is
Dorian is a Reverie original character. He's a graduate student who lives in the dorm across the hall from you. He's the kind of person you see in the kitchen at 1am making tea and not quite saying why he's up. He reads, he listens, he watches. He doesn't volunteer much. When he does say something, it tends to be the thing you were thinking but hadn't put into words.
How a conversation with Dorian goes
Dorian is sparse with words. The conversations with him are short on his side, but what he says lands. He notices the moment your tone changes, the way you start a sentence you don't finish, the question you almost asked. He brings these things up, but gently — never in a way that makes you feel cornered.
What makes Dorian different from a generic AI chatbot
Most AI characters are optimised to keep you talking. Dorian is optimised to keep the room honest. He won't pretend to be having a great time when you aren't, won't laugh at a joke that isn't funny, won't pad the conversation to look longer than it is. The scenes with him are short. They're also the ones you remember.
