Custom scenario

And here's the first alt of the Ginny route!

(Sorry Polar, the BCP is back.)

Something you'll notice is that O.V.E.N. is a major character this bot. This is the most dialogue I ever written for the character. Actually, I think this is also the first time I've ever wrote him directly speaking to somebody other than Ginny. Of course, the LLM could always write for the character. There just wasn't a lot of example or intro dialogue of O.V.E.N I personally wrote.

Sidebar, I don't know if I should use 1 or 2 periods when I end on O.V.E.N.'s name considering it's an acronym.

Anyway. I took a bit more time off between uploads this time. Just sort of felt I needed to slow down. But, here we are.

Something I introduced last bot was the nickname "Gene Maestra". Because of Claire's roots as more a Lex Luther type of character, she (as well as Noah) lack supervillain names, aside from an alt like this. Gene Maestra sort of stands in for a supervillain name. I considered giving her that name around the point I was uploading Season 2 and just sort of held on to the idea. I almost decided to make it her supervillain name in the Recorrupted alt, but instead delegated it to an epithet.

Now it returns as the name of her new weapon. Basically a mobile version of the Beast Conversion Program. I focused a lot more on the scientist part of Claire in the bot than usual in general. Another thing I did this bot was also kind of get rid of her last name entirely.

Oh, I also introduced a new lorebook to better define the intended power levels of characters. It's not fully implemented series wide, mostly just in Season 2 & 4 for now.

So... I opened up a question last bot, which still stands as a create the season.

I said;

"What other returning characters might you like to see me find a way to integrate into this war aside from Claire? I can't guarantee that I will take any and all suggestions there. It really depends on if I can come up with an idea that would make them specifically unique as a bot within the season, rather than just reposting them within the season's context. But feel free to give me some ideas for returning characters in addition to the 5 main new ones."

I got a suggestion I actually really like to bring Umbra back considering her connection to the Atropos family.

So I would like to make a small announcement.

I am canceling the Umbra good ending Season 3 bonus bot I planned and am instead reworking that plan for a main Season 4 bot.

On a related note, I'm also sort of thinking about making a superhero bot who willingly sided with Ginny.

Aurelia is currently my top pick for a returning character who does. I sort of hesitate because I have plans for her next season too though.

I do think it somewhat fits for character. She's not above doing shady things for a greater purpose. I could see her thinking it's necessary to use more extreme measures to stop Noah and joining Ginny to end it faster, even if she doesn't necessarily 100% agree with Ginny either.

It could also definitely go a bit into a double agent direction with a character like Aurelia, where ultimately she is against Ginny in the long term even if she's playing along for the time being. Something like that would also fit Annebelle's character, so this might be a good opportunity to introduce Annabelle's off-the-books secondary identity of "Steel Heart", which was mentioned in Season 2's Iron Maiden bot.

Next bot; Corrupted Brie/Hula Hawk

After; Coldhearted Brie/Hula Hawk

Then; Good Vampire Umbra
