Background and Character Psychology
🕑 Added 2020-08-06 09:48:17 +0000 UTCIn part II, I'll talk about the background around the MC and her psychology.
Aline/Kassiah is a young girl who has just graduated from the ZCPD (Zenon City Police Department). She is recruited as a cadet in the Beta sector, in a small police station.
She moves with her boyfriend to a new apartment.
In love, naive and inexperienced in many fields, the heroine discovers the harsh reality of the daily life of a policewoman in the field. Her charm, youth and rare beauty attracting many covetousness.
Very quickly, an event turns her life and her destiny upside down, marking and transforming her forever.
Here are the main lines of the story, which will be much more complex as we go forward.
I like to start simply by going into detail, as I did for COL.
Here's the outfit the MC would wear at the beginning, something sexy but prude:
I've reduced Aline's tanned skin very slightly. I think it looks better in dimly lit areas.
Psychological traits:
She's a very intelligent girl with a strong sense of justice, which is why she's studying for a degree at ZCPD. She has to start at the bottom of the ladder though.
She is a determined girl but still very naive and unaware of her physical assets. She is very much in love with her boyfriend, a student researcher on the Dark Matter.
Not very confident, she has an unsuspected potential, which attracts the attention of people in the shadows around her.
One MC, two slayers and so...two stories :
Trying not to think too big to end up with a project that would be abandoned because too greedy, I think the compromise is to follow one of the two girls in this story and then meet the other at some point.
Then to learn more about the other and bring them together in a strong bond.
The heroine would really be a beginner with an evolutionary curve in all areas strengthening the attachment to the latter. Her sidekick wouldn't be playable in gameplay combat nor in statistics to manage, I prefer to be honest it would be too complex and too long...but she could evolve in direct link with your choices on your MC...A kind of influence between them.
Another interesting point, the experienced slayer would already be a bit corrupted (Rank A) but could be saved/definitely corrupted by your choices through your MC. Knowing that the MC will be corrupted by the Evil Mind in the story...or not.
This corruption/purity axis is in line with my experience on COL that I master, I think I can take up the challenge on this aspect.
That would be the starting outfit as a slayer. The expression still shows little confidence for Aline...but it could also be Kassiah as MC :
Personally, I had planned for Aline to be MC. I like Kassiah a lot and I deliberately chose her in the demo to highlight Aline at the end but the effect was skewed because you became attached to Kassiah.
Kassiah is very familiar to me because it's a kind of Sylia 2.0 in cyberpunk. It's exciting and you won't be in uncharted territory with her but I admit that trying the adventure with Aline speaks to me just as much. This character inspires me more for a slow and naughty evolution than Kassiah.
Next step, the poll. Know once again that the final decision will be mine.
Argue on the discord or here to defend the one you want as MC, now is the time to do it !

exactly the reason I'd choose Aline. Kassiah is too similar to Sylia.

I liked the tan, possibly because it makes Aline more different looking from Sylia. Kassiah seems to be too similar to Sylia, at least how she looks.
Also, nicely done on lowering Aline's tan. It looks much better!
