Design Notes

TROLLED YOU IM ACTUALLY GONNA BE WRITING DOWN NOT DESIGN NOTES BUT JUST STORY NOTES!!! AHAHAHA [evilly]

there's also a pretty moodboard if you scroll down far enough so. please look at that too. I Spent Time On It

there may be spoilers so just like. don't read or something idont know. unless you want to...... >_>

- i don't know what im going to do with her and mav. my initial thought was an mha-like setting [x__x i know . i know.] but i also kinda wanna keep her flexible in case there's an rp i want to use her in. YKNOW . THAT ONE THAT'S IN THE STOCKS SERVER WOULDVE BEEN GREAT FOR THESE TWO .! oopsie. i might just do my usual Nonspecific Setting[TM] and make their powers Secret[TM]. like fuck it, right? ez enough. >_>;;;

- it was briefly mentioned under Divine Armor, but Lydia is very afraid of using her power - specifically, allowing Divine Armor to 'take over' her head. this is a VERY real fear because it has actually happened in the past - Lydia trusted that her machine-self would relinquish control back to human-self, but it thought the more logical option was to remain Divine. It probably only stopped because it saw that someone close to her [parent(s)? NOT mav] was freaking out over it and it concluded that they'd likely do something rash and thus. Stopped. and ofc that traumatized lydia.

- fun fact. her Divine Armor is resistant to Mav's Dark Fire! this is possumly because divine vs dark ... divine win. something like that. but that's actually how they got close! Mav lost control with his Flame Body and Lydia discovered this. & then she helped snap him out of it!! however, she had to use her Full Divine Armor, because otherwise she wouldve definitely got burned. for ~some~ reason it didn't fight to keep control, and lydia doesnt really know why

- YOU GET TO KNOW WHY . cuz i know why :smirk: . this is because it deduced [correctly] that lydia would no longer use it if that happened again! Period ! as it stands, she'd still use it in dire circumstances [esp. involving mav] but . However, Divine Armor doesn't want to prevent lydia from using it because .. plot twist that isnt actually a plot twist : divine armor is literally just lydia . minus the emotion stuff plus being literally a machine. it still wants whats best for its host & the host's priorities are absolutely a factor in its decision-making. theres no communication between the two cuz it's literally just like.. a change of mindset, instead of being a whole new person, right?

- another thing i wanna make clear is how the stats work. those are the stats at her Max in each respective form. so what that means is, her strength is not that high in shield form, and same with shield. and oh my GOD her agility is so bad, like oh my god. also also, skill & potential are simply opposites - SKILL is what she knows, and POTENTIAL is how much more she can learn. honestly i should definitely tweak her stats to reflect that she's . a lower "level" cuz where it stands, there's very little room to grow.

- THERE WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO WRITE DOWN BUT I FORGOT!!!!! IM EVIL NOW

- oh yeah

- she has ~abandonment issues~ [pushes this onto her] haha. cant believe i dont already have a character with this problem of mi- i mean. Anyway. bout them abandonment issues. idk i think that either she was literally abandoned by someone she was close to or she has had some people close to her die [>>__>> erm]. ANYWAY ANYWAY ANYWAY!!!! she's really scared that she'll be left behind & clings to mav [& her other friends, but especially him] [ Wait, ]. despite that tho she loves the family & friends that she DOEs have with her whole entire heart. and also i like to think that mav's family is like her family, too.

- she has a crush on someone u_u they're not real yet BUT they will be real. It's not Mav they're literally just besties, just so we're clear.
