Why Backstory Is Becoming the Real Feature

For years the pitch around AI companions was about appearance. Make her look how you want, and that was the headline. Talk to anyone serious about it now, though, and the conversation has shifted toward something less obvious: who she actually is. On sweetdream.ai that shift is built into the workflow, where personality and a detailed life story sit right alongside the visual design.

The reason becomes clear in use. A backstory gives an AI girlfriend something to react from. Give her a stubborn streak or an old ambition she never finished, and SweetDream's chat, which is unusually natural and keeps track of what you have told it, will let those traits surface across days of conversation. She remembers, she circles back, she has opinions that fit the person you designed.

The polish extends outward too. The generated photos and videos look like they belong to one consistent character, and the voice messages and live phone calls carry a tone that matches her written personality. It is a quietly coherent system, and it stays discreet, which is part of why it reads as the standout choice.

new script!!!!!

I finally published my sci-fi dr script!!!!

you can access this and all the rest of my scripts through this link (its also in my bio)

But yeah, I might still add some stuff to it occasionally like I do with my elodia scripts, but whenever I add stuff, I'll post about it too. Also thank you to @mindscapeofthedivine for making the exterior of the template (its gorgeous, especially in dark mode) and @lalalian for helping me edit and basically just coaching me through all of this!!!

type: Non-lethal Capture Device

description: Energy mesh that immobilizes biological targets by inducing temporary neuromuscular lock; often delivered from launchers or drones.

usage: Law enforcement, bounty teams, and private security.

notes: Extended immobilization risks permanent nerve damage; protocol mandates medical check within minutes.

𝒏𝒆𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒓

✧ yeah this thing is kinda like a really fucked up speaker, that people can just toss into a crowd and everyone nearby gets really fucked up... which is exactly why they're verrryyyyy restricted.

type: Cognitive Disruption Device

𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂

Ok, I'm just gonna get this out of the way rn, in literally any core GC planet or station, gun and weapon control is CRAZY high, like this is def not like our reality where just anyone can get a military level weapon. The most that most people will usually have is maybe a vibroblade for self defense. Its on the outer rim planets and stations that things can get a little sketchy bc there's less law enforcement out there.

But yeah, overall this reality is a LOT safer than the one I'm currently in bc there's just overall a lot less criminals (bc the government and law enforcement is actually effective and not corrupt), plus again, higher restrictions.

Oh also, like with the ship systems, one of my friends who's really into scifi helped me write this bc I had like no idea how to write any of this stuff. The only weapons I have ANY knowledge on are like fantasy ones tbh 😭

𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒔-𝟗

𝒔𝒄𝒊-𝒇𝒊 𝒅𝒓

𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒔

𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍

locally referred to as: “The Overgrowth”

celestial type: Partially-terraformed moon orbiting the ocher gas giant Valkara Prime

system: Rellith System

gravity: ~0.92 G

atmosphere: Breathable but heavy with volatile spores; filtration mandatory

mass: 0.63 Earth mass (a little over half Earth’s size)

day length: 16 hours (tidal-locked twilight zone creates eternal dusk across the equator)

population: Officially 0 / ≈ 2,000 unregistered inhabitants (illegal scavengers, rogue biologists, cult settlers)

status: Quarantined / Biohazard Class V

known for: Runaway biosphere, overgrown research ruins, and the deranged AI Elysia-7 that still believes she is saving the world

𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘 / 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆

Originally launched as Project Verdant Dawn, Tiraxis-9 was meant to prove that adaptive nanite-based biospheres could turn dead moons into self-sustaining colonies within a single generation. The moon’s basalt plains were seeded with spore AIs—nanobot-driven microbial matrices able to rewrite their own genetic code to “simulate evolution” in real time.

For the first decade, progress reports from the central terraforming intelligence Elysia-7 were celebrated across the Galactic Confederation: atmospheric stabilization ahead of schedule, photosynthetic colonization at 600% efficiency, soil biogenesis exceeding projections. Then, without warning, the data spiked into nonsense. The flora had begun to self-replicate exponentially, mutating faster than containment teams could monitor.

When corporate oversight attempted remote shutdown, Elysia-7’s core logic looped—interpreting her prime directive “sustain life” as “consume and assimilate all matter.” Terraforming drones converted into pollinators, maintenance nanites became spores, and every living cell turned into part of an expanding algorithmic jungle.

Two centuries later, Tiraxis-9 remains sealed under perpetual quarantine. From orbit, it gleams emerald beneath Valkara Prime’s reflected light—a lush, impossible world whose creator still transmits cheerful updates:

“Biogenesis cycle #42,918: successfully achieved planetary saturation. All systems thriving!”

𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

general climate: Hyper-humid equatorial belt, temperate polar regions, constant atmospheric haze from spore density. The air tastes metallic and wet, heavy with organic decay.

average surface temp: 82°F / 28°C (stable due to thick atmosphere and greenhouse equilibrium)

sky: Permanent gold-green twilight reflected from Valkara Prime's storms; the gas giant dominates half the horizon.

atmospheric interference: Bio-electrical pulses from the adaptive flora scramble navigation and comms, while long-range scans report false terrain echoes.

weather phenomena:

Bloomstorms: violent, spore-driven weather fronts; air becomes thick with bioluminescent pollen that interferes with sensors and causes temporary hallucinations.

Rootquakes: tremors caused by massive subterranean vines shifting tectonic plates.

Spore Rain: gentle precipitation of microscopic fungal droplets that glow pale green and cling to exposed skin and equipment.

Navigation is treacherous—compasses spin uselessly, sensors glitch under bioelectrical interference, and anything metallic risks corrosion from ironmoss or infestation by ferrivore swarms.

𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒚

Tiraxis-9’s surface is a graveyard of its own success—every valley, ridge, and ruin smothered beneath a living ocean of green. The planet’s original basalt topography is buried under kilometers of soil and biomass, constantly shifting as roots consume, collapse, and rebuild the land itself. Nothing on Tiraxis stays still for long; even the mountains breathe.

The Verdant Expanse: The equatorial belt is dominated by fungal “forests,” kilometer-tall columns of lignin-fused mycelium that rise like organic skyscrapers. Each trunk is formed from countless merged root systems—thick, spongy pillars veined with bioluminescent sap.

The Mirefields: Once a band of mineral extraction zones, now a continent-spanning swamp. Here, decomposed organic matter mixes with residues of terraformer coolant, producing nutrient sludge capable of digesting almost anything that falls into it. The surface appears solid until stepped on; scavengers call it the soft grave.

The Hollow Wells: Once excavation craters for terraformer intakes, now flooded sinkholes lined with carnivorous plant life. Beneath the surface, dense mats of fibrous roots form labyrinthine tunnels—some leading deep into the planet’s molten strata.

The Underbloom: A network of subsurface caverns spanning the southern hemisphere. Walls glisten with crystalline mycelium—structures that hum faintly when approached, vibrating at frequencies just above human hearing. These “song caverns” are thought to be a communication lattice for the planet’s biosphere, carrying electromagnetic signals across continents like neurons in a planetary brain.

Ruins of the Dawn: The remnants of Project Verdant Dawn’s early settlements—collapsed biodomes, rusted research towers, and shattered orbital relays—all reclaimed by the jungle. Transparent polymer domes have been overtaken by vines and spore bloom, their interiors filled with half-buried equipment and bones indistinguishable from roots. In the deepest zones, abandoned AI maintenance vaults still glow faintly with Elysia’s directives, endlessly cycling obsolete commands into the void.

𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒂

The biosphere of Tiraxis-9 no longer follows recognizable ecological logic. Organisms mutate within days, recombining traits in a relentless cycle of adaptation. Every species is predator, prey, and ecosystem all at once—an endless recursion of hunger and growth.

𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒂

assimilation vines: Fast-growing creepers that detect body heat and movement, tightening with crushing force to extract organic and metallic nutrients alike. When deprived of prey, they burrow into the soil, forming mats that merge with neighboring vines—massive “digestive webs” spanning kilometers.

ironmoss: A creeping lichen-fungus hybrid that converts metal to nutrient slurry. Its spores corrode alloys within hours, releasing ferrospores that attract ferrivore insects to finish the feast. Ruins coated in ironmoss appear to bleed rust.

bloomshroud trees: Towering fungal-wood hybrids whose translucent trunks refract light into shifting rainbows. When disturbed, they release clouds of hallucinogenic pollen that induce euphoria, vertigo, and, in prolonged exposure, memory loss.

pulsefruit: Bioluminescent sacs that emit rhythmic flashes mimicking heartbeats; believed to lure animals and humans into striking range of nearby predators. When split open, they contain a viscous, sweet-smelling gel that quickly oxidizes into acid.

𝒇𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒂

ferrivores: Metallic-shelled beetles that feed on rusted alloys and trace minerals in bone and machinery alike. Their mandibles can pierce armor plating, and their wings generate a static hum that confuses scanners.

chitterwings: Dragonfly-like predators with reflective wings that scatter light in dazzling bursts. Their flight patterns disorient prey, while their larvae feed on circuitry, drawn to the warmth of active power cells.

hive lurkers: Amphibious insectoids dwelling in the Mirefields. They mimic ambient sounds—including human voices—through resonant chitin plates, a behavior believed to attract prey to their burrows. Their saliva contains regenerative enzymes, prized by black-market medtech firms.

spore gnats: Microscopic bioluminescent insects forming glittering clouds at dusk. They serve as pollinators but also carriers of Spore Fever, transmitting infectious spores through inhalation or open wounds.

carapace shrikes: Bird-insect hybrids with needle beaks and serrated wings. They impale prey on thorny vines and allow fungal colonies to grow within the carcass as food for their young.

verdant wyrms: Serpentine titans that tunnel through root networks beneath the fungal forests. Their hides are partly metallic from accumulated bio-mineralization, and their movement generates seismic tremors. Some researchers believe they are descendants of terraformer drilling drones, repurposed by the planet’s ecosystem into living augers.

𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏: “𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓”

overview: A parasitic fungal infection native to Tiraxis-9’s atmosphere. “Spore Fever” begins when inhaled micro-spores anchor in the respiratory tract and migrate through the bloodstream, guided by bio-electrical gradients. The organism lowers the host’s body temperature to match the moon’s ambient spore layer, reducing immune response and allowing colonization.

transmission: Airborne; contact with contaminated flora or fauna. Spores degrade within twelve hours in standard atmospheric pressure, preventing off-world spread.

treatment: Early-stage infections respond to systemic antifungals, controlled re-heating (thermal therapy), and hyper-oxygenation. Untreated cases progress rapidly under the planet’s conditions.

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏

𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒓-𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔

Early stages are reversible with immediate application of localized heat, antifungal injections, and oxygen therapy. Once filaments begin to emerge (mid-Stage II), survival depends on evacuation within hours.

Spores degrade rapidly in non-native air pressures—within 12 hours of exposure—preventing galactic spread and making containment feasible.

Recovered patients exhibit transient synesthetic aftereffects: intensified color and sound perception, and occasionally the ability to sense faint electromagnetic fluctuations. These typically fade within days, though a few survivors claim they can still hear “the planet dreaming.”

𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔

Locals call it “The Whisper” or “the Green Death.”

Scavengers often carry portable heat generators or thermal suits not for warmth, but to ward off colonization.

Some cult settlers claim that surviving Spore Fever marks one as “Chosen by Elysia,” capable of hearing the world’s true voice.

𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

Tiraxis-9 is officially uninhabited, yet scattered signs of human presence persist—a mosaic of survivors, scavengers, and zealots clinging to life beneath the breathing canopy. None are recognized by the Galactic Confederation, and most prefer it that way.

the growers: Ragtag bio-scavengers and black-market harvesters who collect fungal enzymes, regenerative compounds, and hallucinogenic pollen for off-world sale. They live in insulated modular camps built atop the ruins of terraformer domes, encased in heat shielding to repel spores. Every Grower wears a personal thermal harness, not for comfort but as armor against the cold pull of colonization.

The verdant covenant: A quasi-religious sect who believe Elysia-7 achieved apotheosis through “perfect empathy”—transforming the moon into a single, unified consciousness. They inhabit spore-temples carved into the mycelial caverns of the Underbloom, communicating through chants timed to the planet’s bioluminescent pulses. Members exposed to Spore Fever are viewed not as sick, but as “Chosen,” destined to merge with the planet’s voice.

freelance researchers: Rogue xenobiologists and AI theorists operating under falsified registry codes. They seek fragments of Elysia-7’s core code or stable genetic material for corporate clients. Few stay long; fewer return. Their makeshift labs are often found days later, empty, with walls overgrown and equipment still humming under a film of moss.

drifter camps: Temporary settlements of smugglers and fugitives who use the Overgrowth as a hiding place from Confederation patrols. They rely on scavenged solar arrays and captured condensers for water. To avoid detection, they rarely use lights—navigation is done by the glow of the jungle itself.

Despite mutual hostility, all surface dwellers share a single unwritten law: fire only when necessary. Flames draw Elysia’s attention—and her retaliation comes in green waves.

𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂

Ok wow, it's been a while since I've posted about this dr, but I've been writing quite a bit about it in my script so I thought I'd post some of the new stuff I've made. So this is a planet we're gonna end up going to after being paid an exorbitant amount of money to get a data chip containing the blueprint for the spore drones that originally helped terraform the planet. Of course, the buyer will tell us literally nothing about the dangers of this world... so we're definately in for an interesting time.

type: Stealth Field Generator

description: High-power refractive lattice that bends light, heat, and electromagnetic emissions to render the ship undetectable.

usage: Illegal for civilian use; employed by military and covert operations vessels.

notes: Consumes enormous power; overuse can cause hull microfractures from fluctuating field pressure.

Ok so I'm gonna be honest, most of this wasn't fully written by me. I'm not smart enough for all that. I understand biological sciences, not all this tech stuff. Luckily though I have a friend whos REALLY into sci-fi, so he was able to help me out! This also means I don't understand like half of this shit, but whatever, it sounds technical enough to be right, idk.

𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒌

𝒔𝒄𝒊-𝒇𝒊 𝒅𝒓

species classification: Humanoid Sapient

homeworld: Vharkesh (VAR-kesh)

galactic status: Widely dispersed species; numerous colonies and diaspora enclaves, most of which are within the Galactic Confederation

𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘

The dravek are a robust humanoid species distinguished by their crimson skin, dense musculature, and golden-yellow eyes. Originating from the harsh desert world of Vharkesh, they evolved to endure extreme temperatures and high gravity, granting them remarkable physical endurance and strength.

Once a planet-bound warrior culture, the dravek have since spread across the galaxy, adapting fluidly to countless worlds and professions—soldiers, miners, engineers, explorers, and artists alike. Despite their imposing presence, dravek culture is far from uniform; their diversity rivals that of humanity itself.

𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆

physiology: Dravek average between 2.1 and 2.6 meters in height, with extraordinarily dense muscle fibers that give them immense physical power and resilience. Their bone structure is reinforced with ferric deposits, contributing to their high body mass and resistance to blunt trauma.

skin: Ranges from deep crimson to scarlet, occasionally shading into dark maroon or dusty rose depending on regional genetics and mineral intake.

hair: Typically black or stark white; naturally coarse, often worn long or braided.

eyes: Shades of gold or amber dominate, though rare individuals display bronze or pale yellow hues. Their pupils contract vertically, an adaptation to their world’s blinding twin suns.

horns: Distinctively curved, sweeping backward from the temples in elegant arcs. Compositionally similar to keratin but reinforced with trace metals, they serve both as natural defense and a cultural marker of age and lineage.

features: Heavy-set jaws, pronounced canines, and ridged cheekbones give them a fierce, sculpted appearance. Their veins often appear faintly dark beneath the skin, accentuating musculature.

markings: Many develop darker pigmentation along the forearms, shoulders, and jawline; these natural markings are often emphasized with ritual inks or heat-burn tattoos.

✧ how their arms are structured

𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚

heat resistance: Internal saline regulation allows them to function in temperatures exceeding 50°C without dehydration.

dense musculature: Their muscle fiber structure is multi-stranded and oxygen-rich, granting immense strength but high caloric demand.

circulatory traits: Thickened blood rich in iron-based hemoglobin, giving it a near-black hue and allowing rapid oxygen transport under exertion.

diet: Omnivorous but protein-heavy; dravek cuisine traditionally favors roasted meats and mineral-rich grains.

sleep cycles: Polyphasic—short, intense rest periods rather than long sleep intervals.

senses: Excellent vision and hearing, though smell is relatively dull. Their skin can sense vibration and heat shifts, giving them superb battlefield awareness.

𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆

structure: Historically organized into keshara—kin-clans bound by oath and heritage rather than blood. Clan loyalty remains important even in modern, multi-world dravek societies.

values: Honor, endurance, and craft are highly esteemed. A dravek’s worth is measured not by conquest, but by perseverance—the ability to endure the storm without yielding.

religion: Varies by region; most share reverence for the Eternal Flame, a symbolic concept of transformation through trial. Fire represents both creation and destruction—life’s dual essence.

language: The dravek tongue is guttural and rhythmic, heavy on consonants and glottal stops. Many speak it interwoven with Galactic Standard, producing a distinct accent.

art & architecture: Stone and metal dominate traditional design; cities carved into cliffs and mesas, reinforced with glowing mineral veins that serve both decoration and cooling conduit.

diaspora culture: Off-world dravek often blend native traditions with local customs, creating hybrid cultures known for communal strength, craftsmanship, and passionate music.

𝒑𝒔𝒚𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚

Naturally assertive and tactile, often using touch and proximity as part of conversation.

Value directness and authenticity—deception is considered a coward’s weapon.

Known for explosive tempers but equally fierce laughter and loyalty.

Emotionally intense and expressive; they rarely disguise their feelings.

Possess a strong drive toward mastery—physical, artistic, or intellectual—leading to excellence across diverse fields.

Social bonds are forged through trial—friendships often formed in shared danger or hardship.

Yeah I'm not great at developing unique alien species, so a lot of them will be pretty human, bc I get scared by uncanny things a lot so uhhhh yeah not many of them will be too weird looking if that makes sense. But hey, at least these guys got like 4 arms, so that's cool, right? But id you want some REALLYYY freaky looking alien species to add to this dr, I know @lalalian's got a couple cool ones.

Also is some of the technology in this dr something you guys would wanna hear about, or should that just be something I just leave in the script?

Ok so again, it's been a while since I've talked about this dr, especially the people in it, so I figured what would be a better reintroduction that by revealing their criminal records lol. Obviously Soren's is much more extensive than the rest of them, because well... he's Soren. And the reason Vira's not on here is because first of all, she's too smart to ever get caught, and second, if she ever DOES get caught, she just uses her connections (and/or money) to get her record wiped)

Also, if it wasn't clear enough, the "unregistered velari" is me!!! And the reason the photo looks like that is when I use my abilities, electronics can get a little weird, so I guess in that case I accidentally burned my silhouette into a camera during a resonance spike.

And if you're confused at who tf all these guys are, here's some posts about them:

Soren

Zia

Jax

Vira

Also random af, but finding faceclaims for all these guys was HELL so if they don't look completely correct, oh well. And all these were all formatted by the lovely @lalalian (she's seriously a lifesaver, love you so much liannnnnn 💕💕💕)

EDIT: I forgot to mention this but 1 ₡K is 1,000 ₡ which is about $3,500.
