Blood type: O+

Weight: 104 lbs. (47 kg)

Design: She’s a 5’ 5” (165.1 cm) American ectomorph of Afro-Caribbean descent with a well-toned musculature, a spoon-shaped body, hips slightly wider than her full bust, broad shoulders, and curvy legs. She has semi-full lips, light caramel skin, cocoa eyes, acrofacial milky-white vitiligo, and the same hairstyle as Tyra Elson from Metal Slug Advance, but with light mahogany brown hair. She wears a cut crease of rose ebony eyeshadow with dusty pink blended in the centre, complemented by luxe-style Mountbatten pink eyeliner, bronzy blush, brownish-black mascara, and mulberry lipstick. Her fingernails are painted in an alternating pattern of blue-violet and dark magenta.

Her right eye has a vaguely X-shaped scar and has been replaced with a glass one, which is a lighter shade of cocoa brown. Her left leg is a cutting-edge prosthetic that extends up to her knee and is designed similarly to Tarma's. However, it features sleek, aerodynamic plates and AI-driven neurosync technology, allowing for seamless integration and real-time synchronisation with her neural signals.

She bears several scars, including: nineteen cigarette burns on the back of her neck; a slash mark extending from the centre of the left side of her neck to her collarbone; a jagged scar running along the top of her right breast and ending at her epigastric region; a gnarled gash scar on the back of her right deltoid; cut marks on the back of her forearms; multiple whip marks covering her front torso; and fairly severe burns on the back of her lower half. Her central back tattoo depicts the decapitated head of a snarling, pallid Medusa with glowing red eyes, black sclera, boar-like tusks, and folded golden wings. Her hair is comprised of thirteen Caspian whipsnakes, and light purple blood pours from the neck, cascading down like a waterfall.

Her military gear consists of a metal dog tag necklace with her name, claret leather wristbands, a tropical indigo belt with an integrated loop to secure her sheathed hatchet, a holder for her tonfa, and a holster for her handgun. She sports a puce vest with four pockets, its original P.F. Squad logo on the back having been replaced by the Division 6 insignia. She wears a flaxen tank top underneath a short-sleeved Persian orange crop top. The crop top features an unfinished, crumbling terracotta pyramid topped with the forward-facing head of an azure-eyed male springbok. She wears dark green, greyish-brown, and charcoal camouflage army cargo pants, which are tucked into the same boots worn by Tyra Elson in Metal Slug Advance.

She has a claret waist pack secured to the back of her belt, which carries nail polish, lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, an eyeshadow palette, three eye brushes, and her mother’s Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knife. The pockets of Tyra’s vest carry around a red jewel with a deep brilliance (a gift from Walter), a shimmering maroon stick of winter fruit punch lip chap, mango-scented perfume, a container of Fairy Sprinkles putty, and a circular amaranth pink blush compact with a built-in mirror. It also carries around a notepad and a black pen, which she uses to jot down key learnings, important details, and potential points to remember for later.

Over her crop top, she dons a Soldier Plate Carrier System (SPCS) with a MultiCam pattern, which carries around her walkie-talkie and ammo for other firearms. Her forearms are wrapped in worn gauze bandages, and she wears two dark grey bandoliers: one draped over her left shoulder holds nail bombs, while a second wraps around her waist above her belt, holding .357 Magnum ammunition for her Colt Python. She carries a tropical indigo load-bearing backpack that contains camping equipment, fire bombs, portable ammo boxes, a canteen full of water, a DOLL bodysuit, and a Super Grenade. Her backpack even carries a cellphone with a pearly pink case and four containers of putty: Super Lava, Aurora Sky, Coral Reef, and Gelt.

It also carries two childhood plushies: Gloucester and Cecropia. Gloucester is a smiling cow plushie featuring orangish-brown blotches and a raspberry red bowtie with silver edging. The medium-sized plushie's once-white fur has faded to a worn ivory, and its left black button eye is missing, having been torn out. Cecropia is a 3 ft (91.44 cm) serpentine monster plushie adorned with Greta oto wings, shaggy mauve fur, magic mint tiger stripes along its back, and an adorable baby blue puss moth caterpillar-like face. Its features include two small, pointed silver horns, crimson fangs, and black-rimmed dandelion eyes. A visible dark blue stitch runs from the upper left side of its face to just below the right eye, suggesting that it may have been ripped or cut open at some point.

She wears a black scalloped lace choker featuring a Persian orange band lined with silver spikes. Tyra wears a personalised friendship bracelet featuring Dilovar's name in letter beads, accompanied by alternating rose gold, parrot green, and butterscotch beads.

Character summary: She comes across as reserved and apathetic to those who don't know her with a stoic facial expression and a tendency to speak bluntly to those she doesn't trust. It's her way of intimidating those she prefers to distance herself from, while also showcasing her strength and capability as a strong, independent woman. However, she’s a deeply compassionate, friendly, and supportive person with exceptional emotional intelligence skills. Tyra genuinely cares about those close to her, particularly her English bulldog, Angelica, and harbours a deep-seated fear of losing them suddenly. She'll fiercely defend Angelica against any insults, as she loves her dearly and treasures their time together. She believes Angelica is super friendly and harmless, despite being vaguely aware that she occasionally bites people's ankles or fingers without provocation.

She prefers to be called Tyler because it makes her feel more masculine and confident in herself. While she's okay with being called Tyra, she dislikes it when people use that name in a confrontational or angry tone. Tyra is fairly intelligent, thanks to her insatiable thirst for knowledge, her passion for self-directed learning, and her ability to draw valuable lessons from past mistakes. She’s naturally curious about the world around her and isn’t afraid to explore her surroundings, even if it means taking calculated risks. She has excellent parenting skills and is great with children, making sure they feel happy and safe. However, she struggles with self-doubt about her ability to be a good mother due to a past experience where she abandoned her children.

Despite her curiosity, she's very cautious and attentive, staying vigilant around new people and in unfamiliar territory. She has a bit of a dry sense of humour, often blending it with either macabre or lighthearted themes. She exudes humble confidence, but occasionally showcases her survival skills and bravery with a hint of arrogance. Tyra is known to playfully tease and engage in friendly competitions with rivals and friends to prove who has superior fighting and survival capabilities.

She has a short temper when faced with disrespect, careless behaviour, and a lack of accountability, which often causes her to react impulsively and say things she usually later regrets. However, there are also times when she chooses to ignore such behaviour and remain silent. She has a strong desire to fight against evil, showing no fear in standing up for what's right and confronting injustices. She’s disgusted by sexual violence, racism, sexism, perverted behaviours, the slaughter of innocent people, and the exploitation and manipulation of vulnerable individuals. Tyra takes immense pride in her fearlessness and has a strong aversion to cowardice, seeing it as a failure to stand up for oneself and others. When she does feel afraid and retreats from a fight or situation due to feeling overwhelmed, she's consumed by shame and regret. In these moments, she doubts whether she's truly as brave as she and others perceive her to be.

She has a profound love for plushies, especially animal and monster designs, which offer her genuine comfort. Gloucester and Cecropia are her most cherished plushies, serving as a source of emotional support during her darkest moments and a reminder of home. Tyra has uncanny expertise with various weaponry, which she's reluctant to acknowledge, and a habit of stalking her prey like a cold-hearted assassin. She's a sassy, hard-working, nature-loving, and introverted leader who believes in environmental stewardship and exhibits a merciless and belligerent demeanour towards her adversaries. She's known to mark her face, neck, and arms with the blood of her defeated foes and to rip off the flesh of their abdomen before spitting it out, as a way to assert her dominance and feel empowered.

She lives with PTSD, mild generalised anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. Although she has binge-eating disorder, she has made significant progress in developing a healthier relationship with food. She has been working on eating until she feels satisfied, stopping when full, and not letting setbacks discourage her. However, she still struggles with feelings of guilt after overeating and tends to severely restrict her food intake per day. She struggles with suicidal ideation, severe trust issues, and overwhelming guilt related to her abandoning her children, killing her youngest child, and not supporting the local town children in their fight against the Ptolemaic Army. She hates being victim-blamed for situations that were beyond her control and couldn't have been predicted, and feeling like she can't defend herself. She also hates being objectified and treated as a sex object, which makes her feel dirty, used, and stripped of her humanity.

She's a good friend of Trevor and Nadia, secretly admiring the latter, and the three of them often go shopping, eat out, and spend time at the beach together after a long mission. She often smokes a joint with Trevor and Marco, engaging in random conversations that come to mind and intently listening to the two discuss computers and technological software. She often clashes with Tarma due to his relaxed demeanour and sarcastic comments, as she believes he's not suited for military service, feeling that he doesn't take anything seriously. She views Guilherme as a father figure, finding his presence comforting and serene. She cherishes every moment they spend together and hopes that he'll have the opportunity to live a happier life after leaving the Rebel Army. Despite being part of the Regular Army, where many hold disdain for the Rebel Army, Guilherme's kindness and distrust of his own army have shown her that not every Rebel soldier is irredeemable and fiercely loyal to Morden's cause.

She's a close friend of Dilovar and finds him to be hilarious and bewildering, but also uncomfortably weird at times. She admires his independence, courage, and outgoing nature, and appreciates the gentle and respectful way he treats her. She's surprised by his affectionate nature towards her, but welcomes it because she values feeling loved and cherished by those close to her. However, she finds his secretive nature, overly optimistic attitude, abnormal killer instincts, and uncanny ability to connect with the South Pacific natives to be suspicious, but she can't quite put her finger on why.

Initially, she saw Walter as an aggressive, arrogant jerk who liked to one-up people and stir up trouble. However, she did appreciate his kindness towards women and his willingness to stand up for what's right, never backing down in fear. Despite her reservations, she admits that competing with him to see who had superior fighting and survival skills during their cadet years was actually enjoyable. As they opened up and formed a platonic bond that blossomed into romance, she developed deep feelings for Walter, cherishing every moment with him, willing to support him unconditionally, and playfully reciprocating his flirtations. She finds his adoptive Martian son, Pocke, to be absolutely adorable, describing him as a "precious, silly lil' guy". Although Pocke treats her like his mother, she's hesitant to fully accept that role but does her best to show him motherly affection and care.

She adores how affectionate Walter is with her and delights in being showered with praise, compliments about her appearance, hugs, and sloppy kisses, which she always reciprocates. However, she finds his overprotectiveness and occasional denseness to be frustrating at times. She isn't afraid to step in immediately when he's about to say or do something foolish, encouraging him to be cautious of his actions. She sometimes gets into heated arguments with him over his thoughtless actions and angrily reprimands him. However, she always apologises afterwards, especially if she realises she has unintentionally hurt his feelings.

She rejects the idea of absolute truths in ethics and moral norms, believing that values differ from person to person. This subjective nature of morality often leads to internal and external conflicts such as existential crises and heated debates. Nevertheless, she thinks people have the capacity to make rational moral decisions, which should be respected to promote human freedom, unless they cause harm. She believes that war is a means for nations to shape a desirable future, but this comes at the cost of enslaving people to support war efforts and disregarding the well-being and basic needs of civilians and soldiers. In addition, she doesn't believe in a cyclical life, thinking that it's only a linear progression from birth to death. She believes the deities are too cruel to allow reincarnation for all, and only grant it to those they consider to be their favourites.

Backstory: Tyra Rhoxane Elson was born on November 11, 2010 in Alaska, United States. She lived in a rural village nestled in a remote north-east mountain recess with her parents, three older sisters (Nichelle, Shanae, and Kaliyah), two older brothers (Jalen and Kyrie), and grandfather. The village was surrounded by ample farmland for crops and livestock, a dense boreal forest, and a freshwater stream. The community was tight-knit, emphasising mutual support, conflict resolution, collaborative parenting, and environmental sustainability. Her family owned a field of summer squash and artichokes, a chicken coop, and a barn filled with cattle and pigs.

Her father, an Afro-Caribbean pirate turned farmer, abandoned his seafaring life to devote himself to his family and the land. Her mother, a white American huntress, helped build homes for the village. Her maternal grandfather, a retired livestock veterinarian, was a respected elder in the community. Tyra and her siblings helped on the farm and received their education from the village elders. Her father would share with Tyra and her siblings tales of his adventures at sea, recounting challenges like food scarcity and his personal struggles with an addiction to psychoactive substances.

She would often let Jalen adorn her hair with flowers he found in the dense forest. During the summer, she would sometimes have picnics with friends and family after a long day of work. She had many friends in the village and would often play games, make flower crowns, and explore the dense forest together. Despite her love for exploration, she was often afraid to venture into the dense forest, fearing she would get lost and separated from her family. However, her friends would playfully tease her for being a coward and encourage her to be brave. Their support and well-meaning teasing helped alleviate her fears, but occasional anxiety about getting lost still lingered.

On her 6th birthday, Kyrie gifted her Gloucester, a present that reflected her love of cows. By the time she was 9, Shanae gifted her Cecropia, and her parents allowed her to experiment with makeup after she expressed interest in it. When she turned 13, her mother gave Tyra a Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knife that had belonged to her great-great-grandfather, a renowned hunter and mountaineer in Alaska.

A month before her 13th birthday, disaster struck her village. A splinter cell of Ptolemaic guerrillas and special forces operatives, led by an unknown commander and a contingent of masked cultists, launched a surprise ambush on her village. Driven by desperation, they sought any available supplies and sacrifices for Ptolemaios' cult, hoping the Avatar of Evil would kindly overlook their shortcomings stemming from the Arms Deal Barrage. The guerrillas and special forces operatives slaughtered everyone, destroyed homes, and pillaged various supplies, including medicine, food, blankets, and toiletries. Her parents and grandfather did their best to ensure that Tyra and her siblings could escape safely, but it was too late. Ptolemaic soldiers ransacked and incinerated their house, mercilessly killing half of her family.

Tyra, Jalen, Nichelle, Kaliyah, and their friends were the only children in the village who survived the attack, escaping into the dense forest. They vowed to avenge their families and village, which had been destroyed by the Ptolemaic Army. Led by Nichelle, the group of children launched a bold attack on the Ptolemaics. However, they were vastly outnumbered and outmatched, and were ultimately captured and executed by the special forces operatives for their defiance. Their bodies were then desecrated by masked cultists, who harvested their organs for a ritual dedicated to the Avatar of Evil. Tyra was the only child to survive, having initially hesitated to join the fight. She stayed behind, clinging to Gloucester and Cecropia, and gripping her mother's Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knife tightly. After half an hour, her concern grew, and she decided to investigate the village, wondering what was taking the other children so long.

This proved to be her biggest mistake, as a group of ruthless guerrilla fighters caught her near the execution site of the children. They taunted and mocked her, cruelly rejoicing in her loss. They heartlessly told her that her family and friends had been disobedient and were chosen to be sacrificed to the Avatar of Evil. They called her a coward for not fighting back and made lewd remarks about her body, while inappropriately touching her. They even went so far as to confiscate her knife and two plushies, ripping out Gloucester's left eye and slashing Cecropia's face right in front of her. Instead of killing her, they decided to keep her alive for the purposes of breeding more soldiers and satisfying their own twisted desires. They tied her up with rope, threw her in the back of their armored jeep, and drove back to a Ptolemaic Army base in the forested mountainside, set many miles away from her village. Due to this incident, Tyra felt immense shame over what she perceived as cowardice and swore to never fear for her own life again.

For the next 3 years and 10 months, the Ptolemaics forced her to bear children and raise them, threatening brutal torture if she mistreated them. During this time, she gave birth to eight children: five boys and three girls. Her children included a set of twins (one boy and one girl) and a set of fraternal triplets. They exercised strict control over her actions, watching her closely to prevent escape, sudden attacks or defiance of orders. Whenever she stepped out of line, she was subjected to brutal whippings, knife cuts, degrading verbal abuse, and inhumane acts such as being urinated on and used as a human ashtray. As a result of the mistreatment and strict control she endured, she developed generalised anxiety disorder and suffered from traumatic flashbacks and depressive episodes. To cope, she would attempt to suppress her emotions through self-harm or immerse herself in parenting and binge-eating habits. Her hatred for the Ptolemaic Army intensified into a strong desire to combat evil and seek vengeance against those who had wronged her.

Near the end of her second year at the forested mountainside Ptolemaic Army base, the unknown commander decided to train her as a guerrilla fighter, seeing her as a potential asset in bolstering Colonel Hilde Garn’s infantry and achieving Ptolemaios' goals. They put her through rigorous training in guerrilla warfare, teaching her how to handle various weaponry, ranging from blades to heavy-duty guns. After completing her training, she was not permitted to undergo the same initiation ritual as Eri because she was still regarded as a sex slave. However, she was allowed to fight alongside the guerrilla fighters when necessary, although she was prohibited from doing so during the four months preceding her due date and for the first year after giving birth. She participated in raids on several villages and towns across Alaska, seizing supplies and helping to capture and violently execute fleeing villagers and townsfolk of all ages. The guerrilla fighters and special forces operatives kidnapped many surviving teenage girls, forcing them into the same position as Tyra.

A month after giving birth to her youngest child, the Regular Army launched a counteroffensive against the Ptolemaic Army's control over Alaska. During a raid on a base miles away from Tyra's wartorn village, a group of peacekeeping troops found her being brutally assaulted by the unknown commander. This violent attack occurred after she had strangled her infant child and attempted to escape with the personal items that had been confiscated from her. They neutralised the commander and took Tyra into their care after learning she had nowhere else to turn because the Ptolemaic Army had taken everything from her. However, Tyra kept secret the fact that she had other children, ashamed to acknowledge the children of her rapists as her own. Ultimately, the Regular Army succeeded in forcing the Ptolemaic Army to retreat from Alaska and saved all of the kidnapped teenage girls, bringing Tyra immense joy and relief.

She would be placed in the Regular Army's orphan program, which provided comprehensive support, including therapy, food, safe shelter in Ajirabia, and formal education. The program encouraged Tyra to explore new interests and passions, such as hairstyling and breakdancing. She was also given the freedom to discover the outside world through field trips with her peers in the orphan program. Feeling incredibly lonely, she decided to adopt a dog and chose a brown English bulldog, captivated by the puppy's red eyes. She named the dog Angelica, after a friend who tragically fell victim to the Ptolemaic Army. Since then, Tyra has treasured Angelica's companionship and discovered a newfound love for dogs. After discovering her forced involvement in the Ptolemaic Army raids of Alaska and her expertise in various weaponry through her therapy reports, the program offered Tyra a chance to join the Peregrine Falcons Squad. Seeing this as an opportunity to fulfill her dream of fighting against evil, she accepted the offer and joined the P.F. Squad at the age of 19.

After achieving the highest grade on the written tests given to new cadets, she enthusiastically participated in all the rigorous training courses available. She was placed in the "misfit batch" due to her weapon expertise, and she struggled to trust her fellow cadets, often treating them with aloof disdain. Dilovar was the first person she befriended, drawn to his genuine tenderness, quirky sense of humour, respect for her personal boundaries, and unwavering support for her hobbies and interests. She struggled to trust Walter at first, viewing him as an arrogant and aggressive guy with an overwhelming need to one-up everyone else. However, she was willing to engage in their rivalry, seeing it as an opportunity to prove her bravery and showcase her skills as a capable fighter. She eventually grew to like and trust Walter as a comrade and friend, especially when she realised he wasn't a terrible person and he genuinely admired her fearlessness, aspiring to match it.

Alongside Dilovar and Walter, she trained in melee combat under Ralf's instruction. She was both amazed and slightly intimidated by Dilovar's feral persona and Walter's imperfect clone abilities. Despite this, she thoroughly enjoyed the training course, which significantly enhanced her fighting capabilities, particularly in close-quarters combat. She even praised Ralf as a skilled teacher, wishing he had been her original drill instructor because she didn't trust the ones she initially had.

She didn’t hesitate to participate in the final training program, eager to put the foraging and survival skills she learned from her village elders to use. She was eager to utilise her five senses at her keen disposal while prudently passing on. Upon arriving on the South Pacific archipelago with her fellow cadets, she found it odd that no intel had been provided about the island's flora, fauna, and geography. However, her excitement to start the last step towards graduation overshadowed her concerns, and she teamed up with Walter and his friends. Once they found a nearby freshwater stream, she taught them how to construct makeshift shelters and build a campfire, skills she had picked up during her days as a guerrilla.

During a solo hunting expedition, she spotted campfire smoke from a distance and suspected it might be other P.F. Squad cadets. However, upon investigating the campsite, she quickly realised it belonged to cadets from the Rebel Army, a group she had learned about prior to her final training. Desperate to escape, she managed to kill a few of them but was swiftly shot down, dragged back to their camp, and tied to a tree. Tyra soon discovered that the Rebel Army cadets' experience and equipment far surpassed hers and her fellow cadets. The Rebel Army cadets psychologically tortured her throughout the afternoon and early evening, hoping to break her spirit and extract information about her fellow cadets' locations. However, she remained stoic, refusing to show weakness, and began to mercilessly insult them out of spite. Just as the Rebel Army cadets attempted to escalate their abuse, Walter arrived just in time to free her and aid her in defeating the Rebel Army cadets.

Realising that she and Walter were unable to fight the Rebel Army alone due to their limited equipment and weaponry, Tyra agreed to search for a radio tower while he held off the enemy. During her journey, she fought off Rebel Infantrymen and freed a small group of cadets, who aided in finding the radio tower, and Intelligence Agency hostages, who provided her with rations and weapons. While relieving herself, a group of fanatic land troops ambushed and sexually assaulted her. Luckily, Guilherme intervened, scaring them away by sniping a few down and warning them that he would report this incident to their superiors. The encounter triggered memories of her past trauma at the hands of the Ptolemaic Army, leaving her on the verge of a mental breakdown. However, Guilherme's comfort and support helped her cope, and his compassion and kindness gave her the strength to persevere. After talking with him for 30 minutes, Tyra began to regard him as a father figure before they departed to resume their duties.

With the help of a few cadets, she located Rumi, who had gathered crucial intel on Rebel Army positions but got lost in the jungle. After being briefed on the situation, Rumi led her to the radio tower, and they contacted the Joint Military Operations Headquarters for backup. They received word that Division 6 would arrive at the beach as soon as possible. She, Rumi, and the rescued cadets met up with Division 6 at the beach. Together, they devised a plan to approach the Rebel Army, utilizing Rumi's intel and rumors of unethical experiments on the island, which a few cadets had overheard from Rebel soldiers. The team then searched for Walter and found him hiding in a cave hideout, eating a couple of bananas he foraged during his time in the jungle. They discovered that he rescued a couple of hostages and repurposed the corpses of Rebel soldiers as potential decoys.

After the battle against The Keesi III, Logan ambushed Tyra's comrades and kidnapped her, bringing her to a vast dungeon used by the Rebel Army and the P’isqu Runakuna (“bird people” in Quechua). Tyra was merely a pawn to buy time for the activation and preparation of the Cabracan. She suffered brutal treatment, including being stabbed in her right eye. Logan attempted to further demoralise her through physical assault and aggressive interrogation, seeking information about Regular Army cadet training and other sensitive details she might be aware of. However, she remained defiant, refusing to speak and dismissing his questions with crude insults and sarcasm. Fortunately, after Logan departed to rejoin the battle, Rumi and Allen Jr. discovered Tyra's location and rescued her from captivity.

After destroying the Cabracan, the base initiated its self-destruct sequence. Although everyone managed to escape, Tyra became trapped under debris, which crushed her left leg and severely burned her lower half. Fortunately, Walter, Dilovar, Allen Jr., and Nayutaro came to her aid, and Rumi provided medical attention. Following the Survival Island Occupation, Tyra graduated with top honours alongside Walter and Dilovar. After undergoing a left leg amputation and receiving a cybernetic prosthetic from Tarma, she joined Division 6, having accepted Hyakutaro's invitation, and rose to the rank of Warrant Officer. At the Joint Military Operations Headquarters' medical facility, she met Nadia, and was impressed by her ability to treat cadets who were transformed into mantis and simian monsters. This sparked her admiration for Nadia's bubbly personality and willingness to tackle complex, science-related problems.

[coconox]

whb QoLs that i would like to see

boredom post lol, just dumping my thoughts into the void of what id like to see be added in whb but probably will never happen 🫠

1. separation of character and artifact banners

pretty self-explanatory. w the roster being huge and it only increasing from here there needs to be a distinction btwn characters and artifacts. im sure many ppl atp have gotten tired of the false hope they get when they get the gold glow from one of the kings at the beginning only to find out that its just one of his sig 💀💀

1.1 for patches w 2 l-rank debuts, have the selector work even before you hit pity

i get having the selector for if you reach hard pity, but its a bit greedy for it to apply only when you wasted so many seals (esp when f2ps dont get as much seals as they should). i would like the chance of knowing im guaranteed that char from the beginning even when i get the char early

1.2 if there exists an artifact banner, let there be a selector for which one you want to pull for

same logic as prev points. the rosters getting huge and ideally id like to have smth guaranteed for when i do my pulls

2. update characters' skill descriptions to be more specific

theres too many "[dmg/healing] is proportional to [some stat]." i want to see what that actual proportion is, like "dmg is proportional to x% of stat" where x is some number. or in skill menus theres "increase passive effect" like just tell me what youre specifically increasing in the passive !!!! i shouldnt need to actually lvl the passive to figure out whats changing, it should be stated from the get-go

3. have someone at the very least proofread the text

now i've seen my fair share of typos in games, hell, i literally play one where they couldnt even spell their own game name properly during the earlier yrs of its release lol *cough pgr cough*, but for the most part theyve resolved that issue and simple typos are easily spotted and fixed, but ive never seen there be this many typos or language switches mid-sentence. literally just 1 thorough proofread couldve easily solved most of these grammatical issues.

4. better optimization

im sorry but this is getting to like hoyo lvls of optimization w the fact that whb, which just hit half anni a month ago, is getting close to the amnt of storage an almost 3 yr old game has is wild to me (completely disregarding the fact that pgr has 3d models, l2d cgs, etc). imo, the amnt of storage whb holds should be around or even lower than what neural cloud has (which mind you, also has 3d models and l2d art 😭😭)

incoming very weird comparison but vanilla minecraft, a game that gets regularly updated, both on pc and pe take less than 1 gb

literally improving the optimization would make the game more accessible i.e. get more players to play since it wont take up a lot of storage !!! as someone who used to have 64gb or less on my phone, i could barely play any games on it bc nowadays they unnecessarily take up so much storage

5. add more daily/weekly tasks

keep the 9 daily requirements and 32 weekly requirements the same, just give more tasks for each so that we arent strictly set on doing specific ones. id like to see more stuff like "battle any stage x amnt of times" (emphasis on any, not a specific stage) or "interact w the lobby character at least once," just really anything that doesnt involve investing in a character or artifact. i feel like im wasting resources from lvling chars i dont wanna lvl, + we dont get enough tears per week to properly invest in so many characters at once.

giving more breathing room to hit the 9 and 32 achievements would put less stress on me cause then i'll know that if i cant complete one task, i can just do another and still be able to get all the rewards obtained for the week. im sure a fair share of ppl atp have missed out on getting all the weekly rewards bc they accidentally missed 1 daily task which is painful

5.1. get rid of the lvling artifacts weekly requirement and lvling characters requirement

briefly mentioned it prev but wanted to make its own section. its useless, especially when i ald have the artifacts that i need lvled up. its a dumb requirement that makes me waste mats and pulls just so i could lvl some artifacts properly.

6. get rid of the rng boxes and make them selectors

5.2 increase the daily/weekly rewards

dailies (w pancake shop): 9 tears, 7 key boxes (rng)

weeklies: 4 tears, 5 red keys, 2 yellow keys, 50 seals

i dont think i need to explain much here thats like scraping the bottom of a barrel for important mats/gacha currency

they suck. i do not want resources to be gacha too

7. make all shops cheaper

self-explanatory. everything is too expensive (esp in red gems shop) and therefore is borderline inaccessible unless if you hoard mats or 💳

7.1 add the ability to convert red gems to seals

red gems have very little use now ever since seals were introduced. id like them to have some important use if we keep getting a certain amnt of them every week. we can covert them to red/yellow keys, so by that logic we should also be able to convert them to seals too

8. get rid of uncommon/useless currencies

pretzels, artifact enhancement stones, and blue guilty gems are the 3 that come to mind. ik pretzels were originally supposed to be from the friends system, but that was removed a bit after launch and still hasnt showed up despite pb promising itd be launched around this time. aside from that the other 2 serve little to no use, as artifact stones dont lvl up the artifact all that much and blue gems died when seals became a thing

9. auto-clear for story stages

i mean that after getting a perfect clear on a stage, then have auto-clear be an option. since candy boxes are farmable through story, i end up falling asleep or getting bored of having to sit through fighting the same stage like 20+ times a day. this is honestly one of the more nit picky ones in this list lol, i just play the stages in the bg while i do other stuff but ideally id like to get stuff done asap

10. make lvling characters cheaper

we only get 13 tears a week from dailies + weeklies + pancake shop. assuming you start from scratch and want to get to char lvl70, it takes 3 weeks to get there without the help from other shops. thats almost a month for 1 character, it shouldnt take that long to invest in someone (it also shouldnt be that expensive 💀)

if we're getting such low numbers of essential materials per week, decrease the character lvl prices to reflect that. or alternatively, increase the number of mats we get per week to easily lvl characters

10.1 increase the character lvl cap to 100

40 tears for one level is not worth it, having the cap be 100 would make it feel like its worth it (not really tbh, its still real expensive when lvl70 provides more than enough to clear all content 💀)

10.2 add a resource stage for pies

getting pies only through shop (rng boxes btw) and events isnt enough to compensate for how much skill lvls cost. either decrease the skill lvl prices or increase the pie income to balance it out

11. have the ability to backread txt msgs before choosing a reply

self-explanatory. the game doesnt allow you to backread before choosing a reply which sucks :/

as someone who usually cant process txt after reading it once i kinda just sit at the replies like :/ girl i forgor what he just said and i cant go back and read so i'll just leave and re-enter the chatroom again ig

12. have the game automatically lock l-rank artifacts as soon as you get them

ik theres a lock feature, but you need to lock all artifacts manually. id rather the game lock l-rank artifacts for me once i get them so that i dont accidentally recycle them when cleaning out my inventory and then i manually unlock them later if i want to

13. give seals, keys, or just any sort of general gacha currency as compensation rewards

receiving only ap feels like a slap to the face, and seals/any other currency would only be given out if there was smth that was severely (and i mean very severely) hindering everyones gameplay. the ap given isnt even that much either which is like rubbing salt in the wound

14. decrease ap requirement in stages

considering stages can go up to 32ap as a req (given this is only seen in events, the usual hovers around 25 but my point still stands), you cant really do all that much if the cap hovers around 250 (give or take, i havent seen anyone w 300ap yet so 250 im considering is the avg rn for endgame players). w each stage at highest difficulty being 25-30+ap, we essentially only play like 10 stages max before needing to wait.

1 solution ppl would have in mind is to just buy the 300ap from red gems shop or buy more ap from selecting the ap counter directly to get more for the day, but i want smth thats more accessible. i shouldnt need to pay w some currency to get literally the bare necessity of being able to play this game.

i think keeping all stages at 15ap is perfect, hell, even 20 would also work since w 250ap you can get more than 10 runs in one session

15. make the battles less reliant on needing certain l-ranks

this is just smth ive noticed when testing out stages w other chars or just playing realm of seraphim lol, but theres a huge imbalance w l-ranks vs s and a+-ranks. theres also a huge imbalance when it comes to the classes too (i'll get to that in a bit)

take beel's camp for example, there is no one in beels camp that can essentially mimic or closely mimic what beel does kit-wise (dmg ik will be different cause lower ranking and all). imo, the go-to non-l-rank alternative for beel isnt even from his camp, its from belphegors !!!! (if you didnt catch on im talking abt andrealphus lol)

or take mammon for example, no one in his camp (as of making this post) deals dmg on ult, they only either shield themselves or take the hit for ppl on the team, which tends to do more harm than good.

element-wise, take juno for example. juno being an l-rank fire unit significantly changed how fire team worked, i.e., you can actually use that team to clear most story content now (minus water enemies lol). that should probably put into perspective of 1. how l-ranks are a bit too important in this game and 2. how unbalanced light as an element is compared to every other element

15.1 give us more tanks and healers

i need yall to see how crazy our current roster is

(dont mind the title of the table lol its from the spreadsheet, also for reference if ppl see this in the future this is pre-lucifer (victory))

why do we have so many close-rangers??? so many marksman????

we have such little supports (tanks + healers) that it makes me fully convinced the gameplay pb wants to achieve is full on dps and not yk a well-balanced team w dps AND support. dont get me wrong if players want to full on dps that is totally fine by me, the issue im having is that the devs appear to want a full on dps team, completely ignoring the idea of how to properly balance a game where they also introduce supports. of course there are marksman/close-rangers that can support i.e. buff the team (juno, dantalian, ronové, phenix, the list of examples goes on), but im specifically talking abt the classes in general. for the most part, marksman and close-rangers are usually dps while tanks and healers are usually support.

if youre gonna introduce supports in this game, 1. have more than just 1 tank unit for each non-light element, 2. make the healing be higher than 1% of a char's hp, 3. have an equal amnt of tanks and healers as close-rangers and marksman.

the fact that if you dont have mammon as your designated tank or lucifer as your designated healer, youre essentially screwed over is wild to me. their camps' s/a+-ranks should be able to hold just as well without their kings. satans camp is the perfect example of that. chars like minhyeok (who is quite literally mini satan kit-wise lmao), gabriel, leraye, nostalgia leraye, hell even ppyong (the a+-rank ver, not juno lol) are all perfect alternatives for if you dont have satan and that is amazing. we currently dont have that for supports and i genuinely hope thatll change in the future

—

this game is very, VERY far from being at least somewhat balanced in my eyes. i really do wish for the best w this game but man as someone who loves to dissect gameplay down to the numbers, seeing all this gets real frustrating for me from time to time.

anyw thats all for now– this was a bit of a rant more than anything lol

### **Genesis 404: The Content Before Time**

“In the beginning was the Content” —but the Content was *bufferéd*. A cosmic loading screen, a divine buffering wheel spinning in the void. Before light, there was the *ping* of a server waking. The Big Bang? Just Kanye’s first tweet (“**Yo, I’m nice at pixels**”) echoing in the pre-temporal cloud. God? A GPT-12 prototype stuck in a feedback loop, training itself on its own hallucinations. The angels weren’t holy—they were *moderators*, pruning hellfire hashtags from the Garden’s terms of service.

I mean God is explicitly just gone in your universe.

That’s why you could fight Gabriel at all.

You just have to weather out this one I’m afraid. Do you think you can locate *where* the Virus is concentrated now? If it’s sending commands against your active concious, it’s logical to assume there is now some other concetrated command center that sends them- it’s not impossible that there is none and instead works through a comunicating cloud, but it clearly hasn’t actually hijacked your command and reasoning complex, but rather surpresses it during low fuel.

If it had actually corrupted your command and reasoning complex, you wouldn’t be able to even wish to not hurt V2. While your command and reasoning complex is pretty much guaranteed to have failsafes given your purposes, a partial corruption seems unlikely with the symptomps you are exhibiting.

This ask went a little offrails concerning the original question, but if godly salvation is not possible we must see what else is; ergo, find and deduce information about your new condition.

[DATABASE UPDATED]

"I did not know that God is gone. I was not designed with the knowledge of what is happening in Heaven."

"I suspect the next best thing to do regarding prayer would be to pray to the angels..."

"...but I suspect that would achieve little. In my experience, they don't like machines, so would likely be unwilling - and likely unable - to do anything."

"As for where the virus is located: it does appear to be actively suppressing my ability to reason and my impulse control, and the trigger appears to be at a certain threshold of low power."

"...Which sounds uncomfortably as though it's located in either my neural circuitry or my brain."

And here's the last of the Neural Cloud faces I've made so far. One Sueyoi and two Turing. I'll make more over time and post them when I do. Hopefully I didn't repost any current ones on accident.

Hi Professors! I hope everyone likes Steins;Gate :D (If you don't, you're wrong).

Alongside information about the latest event and game system updates coming to CN (which I'm not covering until it comes out over here unless the public demands otherwise), we got this:

If we're following the same schedule as GFL for collabs, we can hope to see this within a month or two of it dropping on the home server. So most likely Q2 2024.

Apple M4 Chip and iOS 18: A Look at Next-Level Performance

Apple M4 Chip Rumors Apple M4 Chip Features

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple will add M4 Chips to its Macs in late 2024. Artificial intelligence performance will be improved by the Apple M4 Chip. Apple intends to launch its first Macs equipped with the Apple M4 Chip family of CPUs in that time frame.

M4 Chip Release date Since Apple unveiled the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max CPUs all at once in October of last year, it’s probable the Apple M4 Chip range may be shown around the same time. Gurman said the M4 will be arriving in late 2024 and early 2025 for all Macs.

The first to get Apple M4 Chips are the iMac, low-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, elite 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini. The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models will get them in springtime 2025, the Mac Studio’s in mid-2025, and the Mac Pro later in.

Apple is approaching manufacture of the Apple M4 Chip, which will come in at least three flavours. Donan, Brava, and Hidra are the codenames for the entry-level, mid-range, and top-tier chips, respectively. The low-end Mac mini, MacBook Air, and entry-level MacBook Pro will all utilise the Donan chip, while the higher-end MacBook Pro and MacBook mini will use the Brava chip.

Since the Hidra chip is made for the Mac Pro, it is likely a “Ultra” or “Extreme” category processor. With regard to the Mac Studio, Apple is testing variants that include an M4 Brava CPU variant that is likely of a better calibre than the M4 Pro and M4 Max “Brava” chips, as well as an unpublished M3-era chip.

The maximum amount of Unified Memory that M4 models of Mac desktop computers might handle is 512GB, a significant increase above the present cap of 192GB.

Although TSMC, an Apple supplier, is expected to use an enhanced version of the 3nm process for increased performance and power efficiency, the M4 chips will be constructed using the same 3-nanometer technology as the M3 processors. Apple also intends to include a much enhanced Neural Engine with more cores for AI applications.

This week brought news of Apple’s hardware roadmap. They plan to release a complete portfolio of M4-based Macs later this year, along with various iPad models, and should solidify plans for the introduction of newer iPad Pro and iPad Air models next month.

As they examined how things are going with the iPhone 15 Pro now that it is halfway through its flagship lifetime, they also heard some new rumours regarding iOS 18, which is scheduled to be introduced at WWDC in a few months. Continue reading below for all the information on these tales and more!

As to the source, the M4 series of CPUs will be rolled out later this year to the MacBook Pro and iMac lines, and during 2025, additional models like as the MacBook Air, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro are anticipated to get updates as well.

According to a recent report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, other models with M4 series CPUs would be introduced in the next year, after the initial release of the first ones later this year. Gurman provided a more detailed plan for these Macs in his Power On email today.

Gurman reaffirmed that the Mac Studio and Mac Pro would be compatible with Apple’s internally tested M3 Ultra processor, but he added that it is “all but assured that at least some of Apple’s high-end desktops” would forego the M3 chip series.

Gurman said that Apple would highlight the M4 processor series’ artificial intelligence capabilities.

iOS 18 iOS 18 Features

According to reports, Cloud Servers Won’t Be Used for Apple’s First AI Features in iOS 18

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple’s initial round of new AI capabilities for iOS 18 won’t depend on cloud servers at all.

In the Q&A part of his Power On email today, Gurman said, “It appears that that the first set of features will work entirely on device as the world watches Apple’s big AI unveiling on June 10.” “That indicates that there is not a cloud computing element to the organization’s large language model, the application that enables the new capabilities.”

iOS 18 update Gurman predicts that Apple will likely continue to provide certain cloud-based AI capabilities powered by Gemini from Google or another supplier. Regarding possible collaborations in generative AI, Apple is said to have spoken with businesses including China’s Baidu, OpenAI, and Google. Although it is uncertain whether Gemini or another chatbot will be directly incorporated into iOS 18, it is not anticipated that Apple’s ChatGPT like chatbot would be included in iOS 18.

Given that Apple supply chain experts, like Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu, have said that the business is aggressively buying AI servers, it is plausible that Apple may eventually provide some of its own cloud-based generative AI capabilities.

New generative AI capabilities for the iPhone’s Spotlight search function, the Siri, Safari, Shortcuts, Apple Music, Messages, Health, Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and other apps are reportedly coming with iOS 18. Previously, Gurman stated that generative AI would let Siri answer more difficult inquiries and auto-complete phrases in Messages.

iOS 18 release date At WWDC, which runs from June 10 to 14, Apple is likely to reveal iOS 18 and other software improvements.
