WIP Update – 15 Apr 26
Hey, I’ve got good news. I managed to get a day’s quota in…

…on OreHosa2.

This is related to the character I debuted previously, Special Agent Genevieve Lee of the Army Criminal Investigation and Counter-Intelligence Command. As you might imagine, having a leader of Demon-collaborating rebel movement for a mother is going to put a bit of an unfavorable spotlight on you, and so poor Maya comes under investigation. Jenny is a rookie investigator, put on the case because they need a female agent to keeping watch on Maya 24-7 and as a Half-Elf, she is seen as a more compatible choice. She’s good at what she does but is a bit of a try-hard in her efforts to not be underestimated as a greenhorn. It does seem like DA’s system takes the character settings into account when coming up with default expressions (that is, when not overridden by creator instructions) and so once I started making pics of her, I enjoyed seeing how her portrayal differed from the other characters I’ve made thus far, part of the reason why I rather quickly developed a particular fondness for her. She’s a good kid.
I went ahead and expanded my character roster, so I made Jenny’s partner, Special Agent HT Grant (Yes, Grant and Lee. I’m funny like that.) and Belsheva Bathbelberit, Mama-Bama’s mama and one of the matriarchs of the Succubus Coven. In the case of Granny Bel, her character genesis is much the same of Mama-Bama, where I was trying to make an OC collabo and the AI just randomly generated a new character into the scene. I decided to roll with it, basically repeating the beat when Mama-Bama first appears. While Mama-Bama and Ariana are very similar in terms of personality, Granny Bel is quite different, but this could just be the effect of an extra 400 years playing the field.
I was doing more work in the peripheral materials as well, not that this gets me any closer to getting Chapter 19 of RttW ready by Saturday. The fact that a movie I was wanting to go see will already be out of theaters today, I guess I won’t be spending an extra two hours at the mall after my Saturday class, so that could be more time to try to get the chapter done at the last minute. We’ll see how it goes. Stay tuned.
