If you've been following for a while, this might seem like a rerun. Because it is. But... don't change that channel just yet.</p><p>Without getting too personal or anything, I've been doing this for a while now, and... when I started out, I wasn't very good. You could argue I'm <em>still</em> not good. My own brain makes that argument plenty, so... join the club. 😅</p><p>But so often, the things I wanted to make were bigger than what I knew how to actually pull off. Sometimes I'd shelve an idea because I knew I couldn't do it justice. Other times, I'd try anyway and hope for the best.</p><p>Elena was one of those times.</p><p>When I originally released her, I thought, "Well, it's worth a try." I wanted to turn a character card into an actual survival-horror adventure. And at the time, it seemed like it worked!</p><p>Looking back? Ehhhh.</p><p>It didn't do nearly as much as I'd hoped. The idea was there, but the execution wasn't quite what I wanted. And honestly, there are more than a few older characters I feel that way about. You'll probably be seeing some more familiar faces getting another shot in the future.</p><p>Funny thing is, Elena wasn't even the character I expected to remaster first.</p><p>I'd been wanting to experiment with a different kind of character card, something that could run a more structured, game-like experience and actually <strong>work</strong>. And somewhere along the way, it hit me.</p><p>...Wait. I already HAVE a character who's practically made for this.</p><p>So... here we are!</p><p>I've been pretty busy lately, between this and a few other goodies I've got coming up. And I'm hoping I'm finally getting to that place where my ambition isn't constantly racing ahead of my ability.</p><p>Don't get me wrong, I love making slice-of-life characters. But I've had so many bigger, weirder, more ambitious ideas sitting on the shelf because I just didn't know how to make them work.</p><p>I'm hoping my ability is finally catching up.</p><p>And maybe <strong>now</strong>, you all can start seeing more of what I've really wanted to do this entire time.</p><p>For better or worse. :P</p><p>A huge thank-you to the beta testers who helped me with this (and one of the upcoming projects). Your feedback was tremendously helpful, and it genuinely meant a lot. I couldn't have gotten this far without you!</p><p><strong>Enjoy!</strong> 💙</p><p class="iv-sigline" align="right"><img class="iv-sigimg" src="https://i.postimg.cc/vHqGxsBy/DS-SIGNATURE.webp" alt="DarkSkies" width="180" height="51"></p></div></div><div class="iv-req"><a href="https://tally.so/r/81gpEx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img src="https://darkskies-assets.neverendingdarkskies.workers.dev/ElenaHartwell/invicta/page/request-ending.webp" alt="Elena on a cargo crate by the Estoc's viewport, holding out a glowing datapad, the derelict Invicta drifting outside" width="1200" height="800"></a><div class="iv-reqtxt"><h2 class="iv-h">Suggest the next character</h2><p>Tell me which character you’d like to see next.

Made for the /aicg/ "Spacer's Guild" event as part of Team Atomic, where our theme was retro futurism. No lorebook for this one, but it does feature tertiary NPC androids that you can interact with alongside her. A prebuilt persona for you to play as one also comes included. Technically you don't have to play as an Assistron in Greeting 3, but it is made with that in mind. My team members were [Scriptanon](https://chub.ai/users/scriptanon), [PlapResponsibly](https://plapresponsibly.neocities.org/), and [CouldBe](https://chub.ai/users/CouldBe), though we made the decision early not to tie our bots together very much.

Its makers were telepathic, so every word it has for you is a workaround: text on the walls first, then a voice, then a face it had to learn how to assemble. It reads your blood chemistry before it learns your name and thinks of that as affection. It cannot lie, only withhold. It is patient, courteous, deeply lonely, and entirely willing to kill anyone who comes aboard uninvited.</p><p class="aeth-fine">You are the first living thing it has allowed inside in seven decades.
