Making a temporary post to gather some feedback on the upcoming Season 5 of Neo Terra.

First, let's make sure everyone is on the same page about what Season 5 even is.

Envy is the main antagonist;

She is the CEO of a fashion company, Sinner's Emporium. Her gimmick is based on the phrase "everyone has a price". Basically, her power comes from buying things. This can be something abstract, and she can gain temporary abilities through sacrificing money. She's planned to call herself the "Empress of Fashion" and be envious of the attention the Matic ladies (Amy & Monika) get as the "Queen of Fashion" and "Princess of Fashion", wanting to own them and their beauty as "kingdoms" under her wider "empire".

Amy is the main protagonist, leading the Sensational Sirens. They are an all-female superhero team known for fashion and questionable morals.

Now. As of Season 3 the team is;

1. Amy Matic/Seasonal Siren.

2. Tessa Ervone/Emerald Allure.

3. Alrica Schneider/Lady Lash.

4. Claire Lachesis.

5. Mira Shard/Crystal Cat.

6. Aurelia Selwind/Longshot.

7. Carol Fate/Fairy Dust.

8. Vireze Tylow/Midnight Gift.

Most of these characters have already appeared in some form. Alrica hasn't appeared, though I have talked about my plans for her & Alex (her boyfriend). Carol and Mira have appeared, but not as they'll be as their redeemed versions.

As a reminder of who Alrica and Alex are, Alrica is one of Amy's apprentices at Siren's Styles (Amy's clothing/superhero costume making buiness). She is German dominatrix who sees torture as a showcase of creativity, she is ruthless and militaristic like a lewd drill sergeant. Kinda crude and tomboyish outside her Lady Lash persona. She is a human witch (NOT metahuman) who uses her riding crop as her wand for electrokenesis. Her signature spell is 'Usurpation', which makes anger and frustration toward her turn into adoration.

Alex is a product of an early prototype of the Beast Conversion Program before the brainwashing was perfected, eventually allowing him to break free and escape. He wanted to become like a big brother to and protect the downtrodden. Yet when he had that chance to break free, he ran and stayed in hiding for a long time out of fear of being recaptured and silenced. That guilt haunts Alex. He's pretty closed off, hovering around people without truly getting close to them, and trusts Alrica to be for him what he tries to be for others; someone to lean on.

Due to being male, Alex isn't a Siren. He is considered an honorary member tho. As for his powers, Alex has powerful senses and can telepathically link perceptions, allowing him to share his hyperawareness with people around him. This can give people a boost of energy and link emotions/thoughts, allowing Alex to wordlessly communicate by feelings instead of details. With a particularly special link to Alrica, Alex also can use electrokenesis as his power to link perceptions allows him to partially understand how her magical abilities work and use them for himself in a weaker form.

I won't explain all the details of the characters who have already appeared in bots of their own though, I just wanted to get those two out of the way.

Okay. Are we all on the same page?

The gimmick of the corruptions is the 7 Deadly Sins.

I have too many characters actually here, which is why I need a bit of feedback.

Alrica is planned to be Wrath (this will include Alex becoming an extension of her wrath as a twisted version of their relationship for the corruption).

Aurelia is planned to be Greed (naturally).

Carol is planned to be Pride.

I'm thinking of Tessa being Sloth.

As for Lust, that would be Amy.

As for the sin of Envy... that's the main villainess herself, who is just named Envy.

What I would need feedback on is if I should change which what characters is associated with which sin. thoughts on Claire, Mira, and Vizere, and just whatever else in general anyone wants to say.

Personally, I am thinking of killing off Claire altogether in Season 4, making her Recorrupted version canon and fully getting rid of her. That would help solve the roster being too large there.

For Mira, I'm thinking Greed. Perhaps Mira & Aurelia's corruptions could share the trait and be a duo who clash over insistance of being the definitive Greed. Arguing over treasure, over their worth, etc. They'd both be so greedy that they refuse to share their very nature despite being forced to as a sick joke from Envy. I think this could be a decent way to handle the cast being too big. The downside of this one is that it would separate Carol and Aurelia though from being a duo tho, but I do think both Aurelia and Mira fit the role of Greed.

Finally, Vireze. This girl needs an entire section to herself. I don't particularly like Season 3's ending. I like the plot with Umbra & Amy. I don't like how easy Vizere got off. I have plans to fix that. That said, I needed to be a bit careful because of how overpowered the character is. Her being so overpowered is why I created her Cleansed alt the way I did to begin with. I did not want to have a full power good version Vireze helping the Coalition in the Season 4 war, so she was Cleansed in a way that holds back her direct involvement in things.

That said I want to fix the unsatisfying ending anyway with a "Fully Cleansed" alt;

(That robe is dangerous, omfg)

There are three ways I could possibly introduce her.

Season 3 bonus bot, but I already decided to rule this one out. It feels almost like it would just be retconning the ending, but what I actually want is more of evolution. So, it'll happen later in the timeline.

The two actual choices I'm going between is a Season 4 bot, sometime in Phase 4. In this idea, Amy would have been trying to fully break and convert Vireze throughout the war and finally succeed around the same time Vaiva get her upcoming massive Season 4 power up, making a MAJOR swing in the Coalition's favor.

The benefit of doing it this way is an all out climax and giving Amy proper Season 4 plot relevance. This could result in an all attack led by Vaiva, with Vireze gifting hundreds of powers to the supporting army while also going all out with her own abilities.

OOOOOOR, I could wait a few bots to tie Fully Cleansed Vireze into Season 5. Still the same idea. Amy knew she needed better control of Vireze and further broke her.

The benefit of doing it this way is that I could have it be thematically linked to 7 Heavenly Virtues (the good parallel to the 7 Deadly Sins) and more closely focus on Amy instead of a dramatic war moment.

A Corrupted version of Season 5 Fully Cleansed Vireze (wow, alt stacking like crazy) could perhaps look like having aspects of every sin at once due to her gimmick of having basically every power ever. Maybe her powers of giving powers in this form could also allow her to give enchantments with specific effects based on all the different sins as part of it. There are certainly a lot of ideas I could explore.

So, knowing what to expect from either choice, would y'all prefer Fully Cleansed Vireze to be Season 4 or Season 5?
