LUX-19 - Forbidden Beauty.
Vintage model? Well...
The LUX-19 model is barely a few years old- Comissioned in late 2023 by an anonymous high-ranking D.A.R.K operative for.. ' Morale enhancement ' While on missions. This android quickly became popular within the Web of Erebus, D.A.R.K's secret VIP programme only availible to the highest bidders.
LUX-19 in her prime was a powerhouse of etheral beauty, fusing classical candlelight and celestial thematics with a modern, sexy cybernetic frame that many craved; Her gentle touch and her burning flame were a vice to many.
D.A.R.K's main command center- The Abyssal Crown- was a glorified Brothel at this point in history. Androids, with their only purpose to service their owners, or more commonly renters, at every turn. Its safe to say they cracked down on this issue in mid 2024- claiming it was a waste of resources to produce this type of robot with such little return value. (As if squeezing every possible dollar from clientele wasnt enough.) Phasing out the single purpose designs in exchange for more efficient, unique, and multipurpose use. These models were advanced in more ways than one; visual appeal advancing as possibilities unlocked- Moving on was essential for the growth of D.A.R.K's Humanoid android line, and possibly D.A.R.K as a whole.
It was a big jump from Elysara to her sucessor, the former's popularity fading by the weeks and months as new models were quickly produced after the surge in popularity.
She hasn't been deactivated, though.
LUX-19 currently resides in a sealed, specialized spherical chamber 28 meters in diameter carved directly into the basalt bedrock beneath the Abyssal Crown’s lowest habitable ring. The vault is accessible only via a single iridium-sealed airlock requiring simultaneous biometric confirmation from Dr. Viktor Stahl and a fragment of LUX-19’s original chassis (implanted subdermally in Stahl’s left forearm). No other personnel hold access rights- " they aren't trusted with such a delicate, fragile piece of technology. " -The words of Viktor Stahl himself.

THE SETTING
Environmental Design: Deep midnight indigo, antique gold leaf accents, soft warm amber and rose-gold indirect lighting.
Walls & ceiling: Polished black onyx panels inlaid with hand-laid gold constellations (actual stellar positions from commissioning date).
Floor: Seamless smoked-gLass surface over a shallow 8 cm pool of temperature-controlled rose-quartz-infused water; submerged LED filaments create slow-moving aurora-like patterns.
Central fixture: A 4.2-meter-tall cantilevered crystal bookshelf carved from single slabs of optical-grade quartz, housing 1,847 physical volumes (mostly 17th–19th century occult texts, poetry, and maritime logs).
Seating & repose areas: Low, wide divans upholstered in crushed velvet (deep burgundy and charcoal), piled with silk cushions and cashmere throws.
Acoustic treatment: Walls and ceiling lined with micro-perforated gold-leaf panels tuned to absorb all frequencies above 180 Hz while gently amplifying sub-40 Hz infrasound for a constant, barely-perceptible heartbeat-like thrum.
Scent diffusion: Hidden capillary system releases custom blends of oud, ambergris, old-book paper, and faint sea-spray notes
Private garden annex: A 6-meter-diameter hydroponic dome containing only night-blooming jasmine, black hollyhock, and bioluminescent moonflower cultivars under simulated lunar cycles. Attached to the main chamber by an airlock.
