            <p>No-legs the Cat is just a demonstration that I can export and embed games here at all. Soon, I'll have real release demos for Blessfrey! <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Blessfrey is a 2D dungeoncrawling action rpg for PC developed by me (chimchooree) in Godot Engine inspired by Guild Wars 1 and Magic: The Gathering. I'll share any release demos on this page. <br></p>
        <div class="system" id="system">
            <div class="center"><h2>system</h2>
            <p>Blessfrey is a 2D action rpg with a dual-job system which will determine the skill pool from which you will build your skillbar. Your AI companions will have skillbars of their own to edit, so think in terms of teams in order to defeat bosses and solve puzzles. Barely any class progression decisions are permanent, so you can experiment and express your playstyle. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>jobs </h2>
            <p>Blessfrey jobs are equivalent to RPG classes. Your first job is a permanent decision which you will make early in gameplay. You will be able to unlock the rest and more during gameplay as side gigs. You can only have one side gig at a time, but you can always swap it outside of combat areas. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Each job has its own skill pool. Each skill is assigned to a job trait (similar to an RPG attribute). Each character has a set number of trait points they can use to raise job traits and the effectiveness of their associated skills. You gain more trait points through leveling up, but traits can be raised or lowered at will. Experiment to find your specialization! <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Your first job offers an exclusive trait called a job perk. It is not only tied to the effectiveness of related skills but also provides a constant buff. You can use the skills of your side gig's perk-related skills, but you cannot raise their effectiveness nor gain the buff. Perks are what distinguish characters from each other. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>skills</h2>
            <p>Skills are individual powers that modify entities in the world of Blessfrey. They can launch fireballs, protect against incoming damage, spawn items or minions, teleport characters, reveal more UI details, and more. Your skillbar only has 8 skill slots and can only be edited in safe areas. The challenge comes from discovering effective strategies and synergies. Many of the same skills will be available to the player and enemy characters alike, so you must learn how to both use and counter each skill. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Skills are inspired by Magic: The Gathering keywords. There are a limited number of keywords that are quick to learn, but I will combine them with interesting conditions to create a wide arsenal of options. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>Skills are gained during exploration. As you find new areas, encounter enemies, and interact with your surroundings, you will internalize those experiences as new skills. There are multiple paths to learning, so you are free to focus on your favorite parts of the game. <br></p>
            <br>
            <h3>team</h2>
            <p>You will meet new friends and allies in the world, and they will join your team as customizable AI companions. Edit their skillbars to complement yours and keep their gear up-to-date. They will remember your responses and actions, so stay attentive to the flow of your relationship. There may be consequences - sweet or treacherous. <br></p></div>

        <div class="story" id="story">
            <div class="center"><h2>story</h2>
            <p>You play as Helia, a foreign transfer student living with her estranged uncle in a rural southern American town. You'll find an inexplicable amount of amenities, but none of them hold a candle to the haunted dungeon beneath the city. It's off-limits, but a dare's a dare. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>There's a whole other world down there with multiple fantastical races. Once you've been down there once, it's hard to avoid getting tangled in its mysteries. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>The town is strange in its own right. Lucrest flourished under it's remarkably young mayor and became an economic oasis in an expanse of farmlands and mining communities, drawing people from out-of-state to enjoy its attractions. Mayor Dia claims to have a magic wand that controls economy, and people aren't inclined to disagree. <br></p></div>

            <div class="center"><h2>characters</h2>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Helia">Helia</a></b> (?/?) - The player character! Almost every job is available to her. Where she comes from, combat training is unheard of, so she's a blank slate. Her reasons for suddenly moving countries by herself at the end of a schoolyear are filled with holes, so rumors spread ahead of her arrival. Barely anyone moves to Lucrest, though, so most people are excited to meet the new girl. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Angel">Angel</a></b> (Weaponmaster/Hacker) - Her real name's Miriam, but it sounds too frumpy, so please call her Angel. She is a naturally gifted with heavy blades and participates in a competitive swordsman league, but she usually comes across as friendly if not a little absent-minded. Computers interest her deeply, so she always has tinkering away with some new gadget or software. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Tessa">Tessa</a></b> (Tamer/Streetfighter) - She actually has a foreign background, too. Her mom and late father moved with her from France when she was really little. She loves the outdoors, animals, and fashion and is always sticking her nose in everyone's business. She's all fun all the time, so she doesn't always know where the boundary is between playful teasing and outright bullying. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Chloe">Chloe</a></b> (Disciple/Weaponmaster) - She's an orphan girl who was taken in by the church, and she spends a lot of her time serving there. She's reticent and deeply introverted but very sweet to those who get to know her. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Aries">Aries</a></b> (Weaponsmaster/Tamer) - Angel's twin brother, though he's her opposite in many ways. He's more attentive, but his frankness and disregard for etiquette makes him seem boorish. He also takes things with more gravity, fully committing himself to his studies and training. He prefers light weapons, light armor, and practical survival skills. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Night">Night</a></b> (Chemist/Weaponsmaster) - Despite not being much older than the other teens, he's completed a few years of apprenticeships at the leading research hospitals in the capital. The deterioration and death of his grandparents forced his return to close the final paperwork and figure out how to support his baby brother in the meantime. He runs a local pharmacy for now. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p><b><a href="/char/Rune">Rune</a></b> (?/?) - A startlingly tall and listless horned boy discovered in the local dungeon, surrounded by dinosaurs and other abyssal beasts. He doesn't trust people from the surface at first. <br></p></div>

            <div class="center"><h2>info</h2>
            <p>Blessfrey is a singleplayer action RPG game that will be playable in at least Windows, Linux, and HTML5. I'm going to sell it on Steam and wherever else lets me list it. It's being developed by me (chimchooree) in Godot Engine with original writing and art, though I'll need help with music and SFX eventually. My husband also helps sometimes, especially with writing plug-ins for the engine.♡ The full credits are available on the <a href="/credits">credits page</a>.<br></p>
            <br>
            <h2>timeline</h2>
            <p>Legless the Cat is the first demo. It has nothing to do with the game, but it's an important exercise for exporting and embedding an HTML5 game. I'd hate to make a sophisticated game over multiple years and be too inexperienced to actually share it with anyone. It also lets my kitty be in his own videogame! So cute. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>As for the first real demo, I am currently creating a vertical slice of the game, focusing on a robust presentation of the skill system. This demo will be more of a tech demo than a game. It will feature 3 demo areas, and you will receive a bingo card directing you to try a smattering of what the full game will have to offer. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>The next demo will demonstrate the game's faction system and AI, presenting more as a cutscene with unpredictable outcomes. A couple of different AI groups will wander around a map, intersect, then attack or aid according to affiliation. The faction system is rather complex, so I need to isolate it for testing purposes. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>I think at this point, I will be able to put out a real demo. Demo #3 is going to be a level from the full game, introducing Rune and his multiphase boss fight. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>If I can do that, I'll definitely be ready to make chunks of the game until the entire thing is complete. <br></p>
            <br>
            <p>No hard timeline on this, though! I've been working for years and finally am about ready to have something to show for it. Gamedev has been a deep learning experience, and I'm looking forward to sharing my results with you. <br></p></div>

    <h2>move to pick up item </h2>
    <p>Items can only be picked up by the player. They can be picked up via item targeting or through selecting 'pick up' on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Item pickup is triggered when a <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> is targeted, that is, a <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/controls">'target' (left-click)</a> triggers a $Item/Body/Sprite/Sprite.gd/_on_input_event. If 'no_move_to_target' (shift) is held while targeting, the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> will be targeted without initiating pickup. Otherwise, floor_item.gd/target_event(viewport,event,shape_idx) is called to set the target and handle the input before prompting the player to consider pickup. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Item pickup is also an option on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor items</a>' <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. Choosing it triggers that <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>'s id_pressed(id), which calls the associated method from its inspect_options dictionary: floor_item.gd/move_player_then_pickup(), prompting the player to consider pickup. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Character.gd/consider_pickup(item) passes to UserControl/pickup(item). The next branch depends on a distance check. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>If the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a> is within the player's <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/proxemics">intimate distance</a>, the character will be prompted to pick up the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Otherwise, <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/pathfinding">pathfinding</a> begins towards the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>. Upon arrival, it calls floor_item.pick_up().pick_up(). The <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/floor-item">floor item</a>'s pick_up removes itself from the room and returns the base item, then the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory">inventory system</a> takes care of the rest. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h2>drop item </h2>
    <p>Items can be dropped from the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory">inventory</a> app when the player selects 'drop' on the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inspect">inspect menu</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Choosing 'drop' triggers that <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/inventory-item">inventory item</a>'s id_pressed(id), which calls the associated method from its inspect_options dictionary: inventory_item.gd/drop. It, in turn, calls the drop method off its <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/base-item">base item</a>.<br></p>
    <br>
    <p>The <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/base-item">base item</a>'s drop() emits the 'dropped' signal, which triggers the inventory item to queue_free then the inventory app to be refreshed. (connected @ InvContainer.gd/make_inventory_items(base_item).

    <br>
 <h2>character creation</h2>
    <p>Players control Helia and develop her character through making decisions. During her first day of school in Lucrest, you will fill out a personal questionnaire and try out the common jobs before choosing one permanently. She will also receive her starter skills and her choice of starter gear and weapon. <br>
    <br>
 <h2>job, side job + skills</h2>
    <p>Her job determines the perk, attributes, and skills available for her. Skills will scale in power according to the amount of attributes assigned to the relevant attribute. She can also take a side job, which will offer more attributes and skills for defining your playstyle. Side jobs are optional and can be changed outside of combat, but they do not offer perks, nor can their perk-related skills be improved. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>All acquired skills will be stored in the character's skill library, but only 8 can be equipped onto the skillbar at a time. You must choose carefully and adapt challenge-by-challenge.  <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>To gain more skills and side job offers, you explore the world, gain combat experience, meet characters, and more. She'll encounter <a href="/char/WISE">a certain system</a> that will guide her to greater development early in the dungeon. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>You'll not only develop Helia but a team of friends you meet in town and below, all with jobs, side jobs, and skills for building a viable team. <br></p>
    <br>
 <h2>playstyle</h2>
    <p>Blessfrey emphasizes frequent and free adaptation of playstyle. Except for your job, decisions are not permanent. You can change your side job, reallocate attribute points freely, and swap out skills outside of combat. You can do the same for your teammates' builds, and call them in and out of your team freely outside of combat. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Enemies and allies have access to many of the same jobs and skills, so while you learn the offensive advantage of your skills, you will also have to learn to defend against them. You can learn new skills through combat experience, copying techniques. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Death is not a final failure. Characters can resurrect each other. If the entire team dies, they will be revived at the nearest bed of resurrection lillies, able to retry. <br></p>

    <p>Pathfinding programmatically moves an entity towards a point. <br></p>
    <br>
    <h2>move to pick up an item </h2>
    <p>If an entity decides to pick up a floor item, UserControl.gd/pickup(floor_item) checks the range. If too far away, it will trigger MoveToDestination.gd/pickup_setup(floor_item). <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>Signals are disconnected, track is made true, 'item_arrived' signal is connected to UserControl/Move, and the goal target is set. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>MoveToDestination.gd's Execute method constantly loops between path_to_point() and choose_velocity(). <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>path_to_point calls cancel on the player and path_to_object(goal_target). Mobile.gd/path_to_object(goal_target) sets the floor item as the next then reassesses the path with each call. If there is no current_dot, dots are set between the user and the goal_target and the method ends. Otherwise, the last_dot is either the last dot or the current_dot. If the goal hasn't moved, the method ends. If the goal is further, the path is wholly or partially recalculated. If the goal is nearer, the path is recalculated between the last_dot and the goal. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>choose_velocity() sets the entity's body's internal velocity to current_dot - current_pos. mobileBody.gd/_process(delta) sets its physics_body_node's move_and_collide to velocity (judged from internal velocity) * speed * delta * <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/achievements">KnowledgeBase</a>.logic_time, publishing "moved" and the entity to the <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/achievements">MessageBus</a>. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>The <a href="/blessfrey-gdd/achievements">MessageBus</a>'s Moved.gd handler will judge progress and emit a signal. Since "reached", "arrived", etc are connected during MoveToDestination's Enter phase, handle_moved_result handles the package. If it is "arrived" and track is true, 'item_arrived' signal is emitted, the first waypoint is popped off, and the entity calls clear_movement. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>MoveToDestination.gd/_on_item_arrived(floor_item) calls arrived to disconnect signals, set track to false, and clear the entity's movement. Then it calls item.pick_up().pick_up(). <br></p>

    <p>Generally, proxemics refers to the study of the relationship between social beings and physical distance. 
 Since spatial distance in Blessfrey (and all games) varies wildly due to distortion of physical proportions and angles, I am addressing the mechanical distance, i.e. the reach of a weapon, the distance from which an item can be picked up, and earshot. Relative distances are modeled after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxemics">Edward T. Hall's interpersonal distances of man</a>: public, social, personal, and intimate distance. <br></p>
    <br>
    <p>I like the implication of a generalized "personal bubble" instead of the solely combat-oriented "aggro bubble" of other RPGs. It's so unfortunate that the pandemic was everyone's introduction to proxemics. I don't really wanna change it, but I kinda cringe when I hear "social distance" now. Whatever, I guess. <br></p>

    <p>Status effects inflict the victim with negative keywords. As opposed to the tens of marks and poisons out there that each differ in the keywords they carry, there are only a handful of status effects, and the same status effect will behave pretty much the same no matter what skill carries it. Since a specific status effect is more common than a specific poison, it's more important to understand a copy may only suffer from one copy of a specific status effect (or specific mark or specific poison), so reapplying it will effectively only reset the keyword, not double it. <br></p>

 I think all european have an underworld people. In Spain we know them be different names, Anjanas, Mouros (from the death, tought they end mixed with the moors), Xanas, Gentiles... The Godess Mary from the Basque reigned underground, in different Caves like Amboto you could contact her.
 Agartha, Shambalah etc... 
 A name you don't hear very often when people talk about notorious nazis, a nobel prize winner in physics, Philipp Eduard Anton von Lenard.
 Almost all of his writings are about the aether.
 He was the top adviser of physics in the Reich.
 Some fictional stories are true accounts of actual events, but who can say?
 Some people think the Bible is a correct historical account of events.
 Vril, the Power of the Coming Race is much more plausible imo.
 Other books like journey to the center of the earth or 20,000 leagues under the sea are written like adventure novels, but Vril is written like a technical document or formal briefing. 
 It's fairly well-documented from different sides and through hundreds of years with various incidents like that on Bornholm. There's also alot of myths about the elves etc, which are supposed to live in hill mounts. They still freak out in our government if people dig into the "burial" mounds around here, so there might be something going on there. You just find it on occasion. Personally I find the ice world theory much more interesting than the hollow earth, but it could be both you know. ;-)

She always presents herself with excellence, wearing a meticulously perfected coral monochromatic face of makeup to set off her pale eyes, deep auburn hair, and glassy skin. Through experience, it wears gracefully even through sweat and heat. Her wardrobe is purely functional, consisting entirely of training and ceremonial uniforms, especially those that pair well with belts and scarves. Her favorite colors to wear are orange and jade. <br></p>

 <p>Both of Cass's (pronounced the same as "case") parents are originally from Mexico. She's fluent in Spanish and used to visit Mexico every year with her family before going to college, but her accent is indistinguishably American. She's on scholarship but not particularly driven in any area, so she took a business major upon recommendation by a friend of her mother. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Her headstrong, sardonic attitude gives her a harsh edge that contrasts with the shower of feminine pastels and vibrant florals that dominate her wardrobe and bedroom. Her nightmares have always been just as vibrant, pushing violent imagery, psychotic villains, and natural disasters onto her nightly since she was a preteen. Many of them seemed real, taking place in her bedroom with realistic break-ins. She could feel needles, hornet stings, and worse the same as she could feel her fingertips pinching herself during the day. There were reoccurring figures whose faces and bodies she had grown so loathsomely familiar with, she mockingly named: Owen, Caleb, Isaac... <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>And finally, one night, soon after moving into her first apartment, she met Caleb in the waking world. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Before long, her apartment was a circus of haunts - incubi and things she had never heard of before. This attracts the attention of a full 500-pound baku (a spirit-eater that is visually indistinct from a regular tapir) and inspires him to take up permanent residence in her bedroom. Her landlord maintains a strict pet weight limit of around 10 pounds, so this stresses her out to no end, at least until he brings her the sweetest dreams she's had since she was in 5th grade. The haunts still rear their ugly heads now and then, but it's usually just her and Funwa, a cute but nosy baku. <br></p>

 <p>I wrote Dymn as an edgy 13-year-old. It basically takes place in Morytania because RuneScape dominated too much of my imagination then. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Ember Lane Crowe (real name on her birth certificate) is the main character, but the story is told from Brandyn's perspective as he observes her from afar. He unravels her persona step by step, but he never tries to directly interact with her until it's too late. (My early work really suffers from disassociated Kafkaesque character relationships lol.) <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Brandyn Harlowe, like <a href="/char/Newcomer">Will</a>, doesn't have much substance beyond his interest in the main girl. Crowe is a misanthropic werewolf who frequently hides in caves and rants about living in a society. <br></p>

 <p><a href="/char/Window">Window Harpen</a> is a journalist who arrived in the town of Dymn to investigate local rumors of werewolves. He's able to build a rapport with Crowe. She confides that she just wants to be normal, so he forwards her to swamp druids renown for their remarkable ability to remove disease. He also discourages Brandyn from hanging around any longer. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>They lead her on an suspicious wild goose hunt, but it becomes obvious at the final moment their instructions were malicious. She pauses on her choice between life or death for a final soliloquy. As Brandyn finds her and lunges to stop her, she takes her own life, catching his face in her final moments of awareness, wondering who he is. He mourned her briefly before racing to confront Window over his complicity only to find he had already left town. <br></p>

There's dark secrets and political intrigue and all that, but her most mysterious recovery is an abandoned horned boy with otherworldly powers - <a href="/char/Runes">Rune</a>. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>She's short, slender, and flat as a pancake. She uses dark pink contacts so habitually that her friends don't remember what her natural eye color is. She also dyes her hair at home, hiding chunks of fiery orange and burgundy under her blonde hair. She's a high ponytail girl, wearing it so high, it usually falls over the side of her face.  To let the hot pink and fiery colors shine, everything in her closet is black-adjacent - deep purple, forest green, navy, and blood red - and she enjoys DIYing detailed accents like corset lacing, reverse applique, and using found objects as buttons or charms. <br></p>

She'd get all the attention from boys she wanted if she wasn't deemed a lost cause. Ascalon is lost, but she'll never face reality. The refugees need to be rescued, but hyping the return of the kingdom is just feeding them false hope. Regardless, no amount of reason will move her feet from her home. <br></p>

 My Black Desert Online main! The community and gear system ruin what is one of the best tycoon and life skilling MMOs, so I didn't play it for very long. I still adore Aristen, though. <br>
 <br>
 She's an honest and direct person who won't betray her core values of loyalty, submission towards authority, and denial of the flesh. Her Spartan lifestyle borders on asceticism. She lives off the land. Though her body is shaped by extreme discipline, she isn't necessarily the wisest person. She's always falling into the "work harder, not smarter" fallacy, leading to some pretty comical blunt-force solutions for her jobs. <br>
 <br>
 Her quiet femininity contrasts with her titanic arms and powerful thighs. (I maxxed out the arm muscularity and arm thickness sliders.) Perplexingly, she's retained an hourglass figure, which she attributes to a life of wearing belts. She always presents herself with excellence, wearing a meticulously perfected coral monochromatic face of makeup to set off her pale eyes, deep auburn hair, and glassy skin. Through experience, it wears gracefully even through sweat and heat. Her wardrobe is purely functional, consisting entirely of training and ceremonial uniforms, especially those that pair well with belts and scarves. Her favorite colors to wear are orange and jade. <br>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>Her parents turned their kids loose and never check up on them, so Nephe never came back after it was obvious she wasn't missed. There's an abandoned house in the subdivision she squats in. It's really weird because there's never been any sign anyone actually lives there as long as she's known about it. The front door is locked, but the garage door is open and leads to an unlocked door. Regardless, it kind of creeps her out, so she never leaves the garage or driveway. She has some basic items, like a laptop and some notebooks, and leeches off of a technically illiterate neighbor's wi-fi. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She meets her first friend and true teen love online, <a href="/char/Denver">Denver</a>. He confides in her that he spends so much time online due to a fatal disease that prevents him from attending a normal school. When he stops logging in, she assumes he died. In a climax of emotion, she scales the house and tears her diary into the wind, page by page, then recedes into the darkest rooms in the house to hide for as long as she can bear. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>With spring, she ventures out for the first time in what feels like forever, letting the healing sun sink into her skin and cut through the fog in her head. She stops to look at a particularly beautiful garden before noticing a crumbled piece of paper -- a page of her diary! She's fearful to read it but can't resist, and she's filled with not dread but the warmth of nostalgia. She begins a journey to retrieve all the pages and has a lot of interesting encounters on the way. <br></p>

 <p>Newcomer is my first story, started when I was like 8. It's flawed beyond saving, but I've got a soft spot for it. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Emily is the quintessential self-insert. She looks like me but prettier, and she has my life but with exaggerated tragedy. She's isekai'd to a generic fantasy world via a portal in a black secluded lake near her neighborhood. Will has a crush on her from afar and happened to be trailing her the night she falls into the lake. He dives in after her and becomes her guardian in the next world. She always rejects his presence and help, but he never gives up pursuing her. (So mean, Emily! What the heck?) <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>After meeting the evil witch queen Adah (who could have saved a lot of time and effort by killing Emily then?), Adah quickly enrolls her under her sister Annelore's mentorship. Emily is integrated into generic fantasy society, complete with an overly long and boring training arc with her mentors Annelore and Lewis. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Emily is the last of her race (the Al Khara), and she's led on a fradulous "chosen one" quest to put her securely in Adah's clutches so she can eliminate the Al Khara for once and all because racism or something. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Immature story, but Annelore and Lewis are actually kinda cool. Annelore is an exiled princess hiding under an assumed identity, but her natural aptitude with politics has elevated her to high leadership in her new city. She was cast out of the royal family of Calx as a teen, and encountered Lewis on the road who taught her basic survival and combat skills. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Lewis himself is a serial isekai victim, and he'd been through at least five different worlds by the age of 17. He was there just long enough to get her established then got isekai'd again. Annelore figures he must have been an angel in disguise and was taken back into heaven. She never moved on emotionally, though, missing him every day. Then, at a critical moment, he returns, having found his way back to his true love. (He also looks exactly like Edward Elric because why not? lol) <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>(Why weren't they the main characters? None of this is even in the story. It's just the backstory I had in my head for them.) <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Adah has a boyfriend, too, named Koda. She's supposed to be a loveless icon of her church-state, so Koda's her secret "mistress." They're just evil, though, without much more to them. <br></p>

The mayor <a href="/char/Dia">Dia</a> has been trying to take over as much of the "adult" work as possible to give him space to mourn and spend time with his baby brother. She's also set him up with a little pharmacy in town, waiving rent for now. <br></p>

 <h2>description</h2>
 <p>Though mature for his age, he's short. He's headstrong and particular about his things, wearing his hair long and frequently covering his eyes, never using his real name for anything, and overdressing no matter the occasion. Paired with his snarky, cynical, conceited attitude, he has always been distinctly unpopular. The nearest doctor was previously half a county away, though, so the pharmacy was bound to succeed no matter who was running it. At work, though, he is strictly professional, his training and lost opportunity always pressing on his mind. <br></p>

 <p>He has an extreme complexion, with dark hair but light blue eyes. He's vampirically pale, abhorring any time spent outside or exercising. His wardrobe is all neutrals with bold pops and relaxed fits - brown corduroy, navy monk-cloth, striped silk surah, vibrant sweater vests, and dress shirts in every color. <a href="/char/Marie-Agnès">Tessa's mom</a> made her alter every single one of Night's jackets for practice, so they all fit like a glove. <br></p>

She is rigidly professional at all times, afraid of offending someone.

 Aristen | means <i>the best</i> | mystic♀ | martial artist, soldier of fortune | 24 years old | 5'6<br>
 <br>
 My Black Desert Online main! The community and gear system ruin what is one of the best tycoon and life skilling MMOs, so I didn't play it for very long. I still adore Aristen, though. <br>
 <br>
 She's an honest and direct person who won't betray her core values of loyalty, submission towards authority, and denial of the flesh. Her Spartan lifestyle borders on asceticism. She lives off the land. Though her body is shaped by extreme discipline, she isn't necessarily the wisest person. She's always falling into the "work harder, not smarter" fallacy, leading to some pretty comical blunt-force solutions for her jobs. <br>
 <br>
 Her quiet femininity contrasts with her titanic arms and powerful thighs. (I maxxed out the arm muscularity and arm thickness sliders.) Perplexingly, she's retained an hourglass figure, which she attributes to a life of wearing belts. She always presents herself with excellence, wearing a meticulously perfected coral monochromatic face of makeup to set off her pale eyes, deep auburn hair, and glassy skin. Through experience, it wears gracefully even through sweat and heat. Her wardrobe is purely functional, consisting entirely of training and ceremonial uniforms, especially those that pair well with belts and scarves. Her favorite colors to wear are orange and jade. <br>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>She is a relatively older AI but is widely used due to her ease of use, long-term support, and wide availability of libraries and plug-ins. She was originally designed as a virtual assistant for archives and research labs, but is now commonly seen at festivals and sites of interest. She uses a database provided by the owner to process and answer higher-level questions in the natural language of the user. The owner can manipulate the data in the database to give her some semblance of opinions, but she is intended to be bluntly factual. She can't be projected more than 3 feet off her hub, so she must be placed very near everything she needs to interact with. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>She has voice recognition but also allows for written input via a written language similar to stenography. Everything she says is also displayed as text in holographic chat bubbles. In addition to chat bubbles, she can display all kinds of symbols, emoticons, and images as relevant. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Her natural state is to rest. During extended usage, her posture will droop and her mannerisms will become less animated. If her task is completed or she receives no input for an certain period of time, she will nod off to sleep, displaying a stream of Zzz. <br></p>

Evil is a deep part of who he is, and it marks every part of his life, from taking evil showers in the morning to taking evil slumber at night. He was meant to be a Saturday morning cartoon villain, but his wife <a href="char/Fifi">Fifi</a> and newborn son softened his heart. He still pursues evil, but it's a gentler form. He works with one of the more stable criminal organizations in town. His wife Fifi is fully supportive, and her fame as a celebrity has been instrumental in pulling off some of his jobs, especially earlier on in his career when he was less fettered. His wife makes enough money off of brand deals for them both to retire, but evil is a passion job for him. <br></p>
