Here’s my pitch for Evie’s feelings on all of you. Let me know what you all think. I’m definitely open to rethinking, or adding some additional elements.<br/><br/>@Kokaine<br/><br/>My final pitch, slightly fine-tuned, because it’d be cool if we did know each other before, but you don’t remember:<br/><br/>Fourteen years ago Evie’s last major job with the military—after they did her limb rebuild—was hauling in the skinny street kid turned super soldier after a bad string of malware made her pop a circuit board. Before that, Evie maybe had a brief but highly memorable fling with Xero—memorable for Evie, but the experience got ripped out of your memory when they tore out your mods. Evie still can’t get over the guilt of handing you over, and what they did to you.<br/><br/>Overall, I think Evie trusts you, she’s just not sure she deserves you. She probably fell back in love hard, and it may be weird that she knows little things about you.<br/><br/>Note: Just because they ripped out the piece with memories of Evie doesn’t mean you wouldn’t remember other details from that time. I don’t mean to say your character is an amnesiac. She may even remember having “a romance,” just not Evie’s name or face.<br/><br/>@Arcanist<br/><br/>To that ends, Naomi is the knew person on the team. How about if, generally, Evie just doesn’t trust netrunners because it was a netrunner who downloaded the malware into Xero. She thinks you fuck with peoples’ heads, she’s a little hostile to you at first. Problematically: Also very attracted. But what our characters have at this point is perhaps still very physical, and for Evie, there may even be a little hatesex component to it.<br/><br/>I don’t know how much tension you want to be there, how much is appropriate for the polycule, but I see it as one of the relationships in the group that needs a lot of work.<br/><br/>I’d also like it if there’s some little piece of it that could be personal. Like: Has Naomi ever hacked someone and made them do something against their will? Even if it was a bad person, that might be enough to make your relationship with Evie super spicy at the start.<br/><br/>@pdragon<br/><br/>Evie’s just so thankful you took care of Xero for the year or two before she linked up with you. If you stick to swords, melee, light weapons, she’s going to make fun of you, a lot. But you can tell she cares about you. You did the thing she wished she’d done: Protect Xero.<br/>
