Scin Progression (Novel AI)

获取翻译

The last member of Lupa Team for the Progression posts is Scin Faxi. Based off Talulah from AK. As always, one of if not my most favorite character in the game. Scin was in the same boat with Flaxen and Morgan for a long time. Her base game art and some of the other art I was able to find around were great. Talulah didn't have a prompt at all in NAI V1, and in V2 it was basically non existent. V2 had a handful of characters it could make reliably, but everyone else would just get slapped with a generic "AK themed" outfit.

I love Talulah, and Scin and Hrim by extension to death, so I still tried to make them in V1 and V2. As you can see that didn't go great. But that brings us to a little bit of a different take on Scin's progression. Scin from the get go has always been described as needlessly strong, insanely agile, the best swordsman in Lupa Team hell maybe even the world, and highly intelligent. But she has a very difficult personality. She's not great with people to say the least. A brick wall basically. It took months for a combination of most of Lupa Team, not really Morgan and Alvis as much, to break down enough of Scin's wall to get more than a few sentences out of her.

The players will be meeting Scin soon and will get that picture made pretty clear for them at Fera's Palace on Sova Island. Right after that though, Penance happens. Alvis betrays everyone, revealing she's been a Belkan spy the entire time, and Scin was forced to kill her. This opens up Pandora's box. Lupa Team struggles to deal with the loss of Alvis, the various emotions regarding Scin killing her, they learn Scin has a twin sister, and they're both working with Aurelia. The entire team goes through hell over the period of a week or 2 before managing to patch things up.

From Penance on, Scin starts working on rebuilding herself. Her demeanor starts to shift more and more and slowly, she starts to become easier to talk to, more open overall, and she does her best to explain things to her teammates rather than keeping it all to herself. She still has her secrets, which will be potentially causing chaos behind the scenes. Her parents for one, Malevolence, and later down the road Aurelia and Belka. But overall she's an open book compared to before. Especially with Rena. So.

Starting off are my V1 and V2 attempts at Scin. Those were rough days. While I'm still using her AK art for her base reference, V3 opened up a lot of doors with her prompt finally getting workable.

The first V3 reference I made for Scin, I now have confronting Erolith right after they meet her on Sova Island, following Arius trying to attack her. Next is Angy Scin, showing off a bit more of her usual glare. Then we have her dress for the Wedding in Alma. Her day and night Beach references are right after. Then her Countess outfit for Late Game on Sova Island, based off Talulah the Fighter's outfit.

Finally, Malevolence, the evil "deity" inside her. There's 2 previous posts explaining that.

Enjoy.
