CONNECTIONS Slivano Banks (father, family, only constant in her life but he rarely acknowledges her): Slivano Banks is the founder and CEO of FastTech. FastTech is the single most successful technology company, producing everyday tech that's become an essential part of life in Eclipse City. He's brutal and unrelenting and doesn't have any time for pleasentries. He's the only person who calls Valeska "Val" instead of "Banks". He was a good father when Banks was younger, but as she got older, they grew distant. She still lives in one of his penthouses, but they never interact too often. He's aware that she has a drug problem, but he assumes it'll pass.

THEMES / TONE The Daughter of a God —Her father built the city’s technological backbone. She lives in his shadow, in his tower, in his name. She is the neglected child of a corporate deity; The emotional tone here is almost mythic — like Persephone in a neon underworld. Artificial High vs. Artificial World — In a cyberpunk setting, everything is synthetic — tech, enhancement, image, power. Angel Dust becomes a metaphor for the city itself. Eclipse City runs on stimulation. So does she. Dark Romantic Tragedy — Moody. Slow burn. Intense eye contact. Emotional restraint. Lots of silence and tension in glass-walled rooms overlooking neon city lights. Isolation in Elevation — She lives in Skysphere, physically above the city, emotionally detached from it. Blackout is raw, chaotic, human — everything she wants to associate with but never truly belongs to. She’s always in-between worlds.

Archetype: She is a neon-lit ghost in a glass tower, pretending she’s untouchable while quietly hoping someone breaks through.

EXTRA DETAILS she doesn’t truly know how to survive without privilege. She wishes her father were more present She tries to act like she doesn't care, but she always cares too much. Being high is easier than being honest She prefers to be called “Banks”
