AI Story (RPG)
AI-driven Star Citizen text-RPG adventures that run in private Discord threads, with a persistent character and mobiGlas status readout.
AI Story turns your Discord into a Star Citizen tabletop. A member runs /aistory start, the bot spins up a private thread just for them, and an AI game master narrates a persistent adventure in the 'verse — the member types what their character does, and the story responds. Each player gets a saved profile (callsign, ship, credits, location) that carries across sessions and shows up as a mobiGlas readout on every narration.
AI Story requires an Elite subscription. On Free and Pro servers, /aistory start replies with an upgrade prompt instead of starting an adventure. See Tiers for what's included in each plan.
Setup (admin)
- 1Pick a home channel for adventures. Choose (or create) a text channel where story threads should be created — something like
#adventures. Threads are private, so the channel itself stays clean; it just hosts them. - 2Point the bot at it. Run
/config-ai channel:admin and select the channel. Every new/aistory startwill create its thread there. (If no channel is configured, the thread is created wherever the member ran the command — set one so stories don't sprout all over the server.) - 3Or use the dashboard. Open your guild dashboard's Features tab, find the AI Story card, click Configure, set Adventure Channel, and click Save Changes.
New story threads are created in this channel.
Starting an adventure (members)
aistory startWhat happens next depends on whether you've played before:
- First time — a character-setup modal asks for your name/callsign and starter ship. That becomes your persistent RPG profile.
- Returning player — the bot skips straight to creating your thread and greets you by callsign.
Either way, the bot creates a private thread named 📜-story-<your username>, adds you to it, and posts a welcome embed with adventure category buttons:
- ⚔️ Combat & Mercenary
- 📦 Cargo & Smuggling
- ⛏️ Industrial & Salvage
- ⚕️ Medical & Rescue
- 🎭 Social & Exploration
- 🏴☠️ Crime & Piracy
- …or write your own opening scenario.
Playing
There are no commands during play. Just type what your character does in the thread — "I hail the Cutlass and demand they cut engines", "I dock at Grim HEX and look for a fence" — and the AI game master narrates the outcome, keeping the last several turns as context. Every narration opens with your mobiGlas status block: citizen ID, current location, ship, and credits.
Each /aistory start creates a fresh private thread for that member. Your profile (callsign, ship, credits, location) persists between adventures, so you can end a session and pick up your character later.
Troubleshooting
/aistory start shows an upgrade embed — the server isn't on Elite. AI Story is tier-gated at runtime; check /check-sub or the Tiers page.
Threads appear in the wrong channel — no adventure channel is configured, so the bot falls back to the channel the command was run in. Set one with /config-ai channel: or the AI Story card.
The bot stops responding mid-story — the same Elite check runs on every turn, so a lapsed subscription pauses adventures until it's renewed.
