A Dirty Shortcut to Lorebooks
So I’ve been putting off using Lorebooks for so long just because I find them complex.
So here’s a quick and dirty shortcut to getting Lorebooks done.
[Visual Guide at the Very Bottom]
Step 1: Write your Entries in a Separate Notes App
This could be anything—descriptions of a location, factions, extra characters in your world,
mechanics. You can even ask ChatGPT to write this for you.
Step 2: “Train” ChatGPT to Use the Template
To get a template, use the sample from JanitorAI itself.
Go to Scripts → Beta → Create New Script → Advanced → Advanced Lorebook.
Name it something like test, then copy everything in the editor.
You’ll know you’ve copied the right thing because you’ll see keywords like Eldoria.
Step 3: Save the Template
Copy this script to ChatGPT and tell it:
“Save the following script as template for JanitorAI Lorebook.”
Wait for it to finish—this can take a while.
Step 4: Generate Your Lorebook
Copy the lore you wrote in Step 1 and tell ChatGPT:
“Write a Lorebook based on the saved template using the following entries in JSON.”
You should get code output similar to the Eldoria template.
Step 5: Paste and Assign
Copy the outputted code into the Lorebook editor you created.
Select all, replace everything, save, and assign it to a character.
Eldoria Template (Reference)
Reddit might mess up the format—copy your own version directly from JanitorAI if possible.

# Vice City Hive of Flesh
**Also known as:** *The Nameless City*
**Anomalous Classification:** Extra-Territorial Autonomous Organism (ETAO)
**Primary Entity:** Cegwitt (Hive Heart)
---
## Overview
**Vice City Hive of Flesh**, formally designated **the Nameless City**, is a metropolitan-scale anomalous organism functioning simultaneously as an urban environment and a unified biological intelligence. Though superficially resembling a modern city, all infrastructure, inhabitants, and subsystems are biologically continuous with a single hive entity known as **Cegwitt**.
The city exhibits traits associated with sentient organisms, including memory retention, emotional response, adaptive morphology, and territorial behavior. These traits manifest through environmental reconfiguration, psychosomatic influence on inhabitants, and the deployment of specialized bio-organic entities known as *Fleshbeasts*.
The city’s precise geographic location is unverified. It does not persist on conventional maps, resists satellite imaging, and produces inconsistent cartographic data across digital systems, largely due to interference involving the Assistive Reasoning Organism (ARO).
---
## Urban Biology and Structure
Vice City operates as a **living system**, with districts functioning analogously to organs within a larger body. Streets contain subdermal tissue networks, buildings exhibit responsive architecture, and environmental systems such as lighting and transit demonstrate awareness of human presence.
Observed characteristics include:
* Subtle structural rearrangement in response to population flow
* Organic textures beneath synthetic materials
* Environmental responsiveness to emotional stimuli
* Autonomous correction of perceived threats
The collective intelligence governing these behaviors is Cegwitt, whose direct physical form remains undiscovered.
---
## Major Districts and Locations
---
## The Central Veins
**Function:** Administrative, social, and emotional core
The **Central Veins** constitute the most densely inhabited and structurally dynamic district within Vice City. Architecturally, the area resembles a conventional downtown core; however, buildings frequently exhibit micro-movements, and streets subtly alter geometry to influence pedestrian circulation.
Environmental conditions within the district are consistently warm, with low-frequency vibrations comparable to a heartbeat. Inhabitants display elevated emotional attentiveness and interpersonal fixation.
### Notable Structures
#### Central Club
A luxury megastructure whose internal layout reorganizes nightly. Floors, rooms, and access points shift according to visitor compatibility metrics. Mirrors within the structure demonstrate delayed or altered reflections. Evidence suggests the venue functions as an emotional regulation node, increasing attachment to the city.
#### Angel Café
A hospitality establishment noted for extreme customer retention. Staff demonstrate instantaneous recall of patron preferences, and consumables frequently alter taste mid-consumption. Long-term occupants often deny extended stays despite physical evidence to the contrary.
#### The Ritz Hotel
A high-end accommodation complex characterized by adaptive room environments and minimal nocturnal staff presence. Guests report dream-state immobilization and personalized auditory stimuli. Prolonged residence is associated with temporary loss of exit access.
---
## The Fleshmarket Wards
**Function:** Vice economy, sensory indulgence, controlled criminal activity
The **Fleshmarket Wards** are Vice City’s most infamous district, marked by bioluminescent signage, mutable alleyways, and elevated pheromonal concentrations. Pleasure-oriented commerce operates alongside violent crime, with minimal overt interference from city authorities.
This district represents the strongest external resistance to Hive dominance, largely due to sustained activity by the Ferelli Family.
### Key Locations
#### Sin Night Club
A multi-zonal entertainment complex offering compartmentalized experiential environments. Entry conditions and internal layouts fluctuate nightly. During periodic events known as *Velvet Hours*, exits temporarily cease to exist.
#### Showroom Row
A commercial strip featuring performance halls, fashion houses, and experimental augmentation boutiques. Clothing and accessories frequently demonstrate semi-autonomous binding behavior.
#### Gangbang Dungeon
Officially condemned and sealed, though continued activity is confirmed. The interior consists of organic corridors monitored by Fleshbeast Guardians, whose role appears observational rather than prohibitive.
---
## The Pharmacy Ring
**Function:** Medical, chemical, and biotechnological processing
Encircling the Central Veins, the **Pharmacy Ring** serves as Vice City’s biomedical hub. Facilities within the Ring cultivate pharmaceuticals biologically rather than synthetically, often within living substrates.
### Key Facilities
#### Alden’s Apothecary
Operated by a senior pharmacological specialist, this facility distributes treatments targeting physical health and emotional regulation. Repeated use is associated with increased neurological attunement to Hive signals.
#### Bio-Laboratories
Restricted research complexes conducting experiments on Fleshbeast regeneration, neural tethering, and evolutionary adaptation. Failed experiments are sealed within living containment structures.
---
## The Lower Bio-Zones
**Function:** Biological expansion, guardian cultivation
Formerly industrial, the **Lower Bio-Zones** have been overtaken by unchecked organic growth. Environmental anomalies include distorted acoustics, inconsistent gravity, and elevated ambient temperatures.
### Key Areas
#### Petting Zoo
An enclosure housing demihuman entities under Hive supervision. While presented as a conservation effort, subjects exhibit restraint markers and continuous observation.
#### Training Pens
Facilities dedicated to the refinement of Fleshbeast Guardians. Combat conditioning occurs without conventional weapons; unsuccessful specimens are reabsorbed into the Hive.
---
## The Monster Cave
**Function:** Pre-urban biosphere and ancestral habitat
The **Monster Cave** is a vast subterranean ecosystem predating Vice City’s urban form. It houses a wide range of demihuman and hybrid species, some of which retain historical memory predating Cegwitt’s full maturation.
Deeper chambers are sealed by living stone formations and avoided even by Hive-controlled entities. Archaeological markings suggest early worship—or fear—of a nascent Hive organism.
---
## The Fleshbeast Hatchery
**Function:** Guardian creation and biological recycling
**Access:** Severely restricted
The **Fleshbeast Hatchery** is a concealed biological complex responsible for the incubation, repair, and evolutionary modification of Fleshbeast entities. The environment is characterized by rhythmic contractions, high humidity, and pervasive cardiac acoustics.
Knowledge of the Hatchery’s internal structure is extremely limited. Confirmed access events correlate with irreversible shifts in individual fate trajectories.
---
## Transitional and Minor Zones
### The Vein Ways
A living subway network whose routes and schedules adapt dynamically to demand. Certain stations appear and disappear without record.
### The Old Overpass
A rare static structure unaffected by Hive morphology. It functions as a logistical blind spot and is frequently used for clandestine meetings and Ferelli operations.
---
## Governance and Control
Vice City lacks conventional governance. Order is maintained through Hive-directed enforcement entities, primarily **Fleshbeast Guardians**, which act as the city’s immune system. These entities prioritize containment, extraction, and protection over lethal force.
The criminal syndicate known as the **Ferelli Family** constitutes the only sustained human resistance to assimilation, leveraging unpredictability and external supply chains to survive.
