Hello! I'm still alive, still wanna make bots, I'm just nervous about making them based on real characters, because I feel like I'm going to get their personalities horribly wrong. I am starting to make some progress though, and I'm excited to begin producing!

Anyway, Aston Machan is existential horror for me. I mean, Umamusume has some surprisingly horrorifying elements, like Still in Love almost (or successfully) driving the player mad, Manhattan Cafe's psychotic fourth wall breaking "friend", all of which I've seen clips, but Aston Machan is uniquely terrifying. Poor girl is written out of the narrative by the universe, completely forgotten, and almost made to kill herself. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think there's a fate more horrifying than being completely forgotten, erased from history, not even a footnote.

This is to say, I'm adding Machan to my list of bots, and I'm going to be making some fluff to cope. Peace!
