[OOC Doing a George Lucas]

retcon

 v. to retroactively revise (a plot, storyline, character, event, history, etc.), usu. by reinterpreting past events, or by theorizing how the present would be different if past events had not happened or had happened differently.

Elena Galewind 

Elena Galewind is a class of artificial lifeform that was routinely banned throughout much of the Imperium. Created on the dystopian world of Killian , a world out in the fringes of Imperial space, Galewind was gifted to the Undercroft family following the death of Seren's mother by an unknown third party. A loyal companion, Galewind has stood beside her "mistress" throughout her childhood, teenage years and adult life and is sworn to protect her at all costs.

Elena Galewind

Elena Galewind is a Mentis Adept Processor, a human trained throughout their lives to be the epitomy of logic and reasoning. A Mentis Adept is capable of inferring linkages and exhibiting an extraordinary perception of events. A fully prepared Mentis Adept is capable of retaining and linking information - a photographic memory - and can repeat entire books and conversations word for word. As a processor, she can file, sort, compare and deduce information to a 98.5% accuracy......and so on

I'm taking the time now to do some adjustments to the blog - firstly to adjust the Elena Galewind character - actually that's pretty major, more about that in a minute, and secondly to make minor changes to various posts to ensure they fit in with the overall continuity of the general storyline. For example, the Corrosion post now directly references the Hoto Nagi assault on the AR Pharma facility to match Pepper's blog. 


So back to Galewind :  basically she's a humanoid computer instead of an actual computer now. Not as simple a change as you might think. I've had to go through every single post to change the term from droid to Mentis. I'm also having to work through the blog and "reshoot" some of the photos where possible.  Some posts have been subtly changed, others more drastically so -  notably on part one of Seren's return home. Galewind's conversion from holographic headed droid to blue-skinned cyborg was no longer relevant so that post now exclusively deals with the introduction of the Ulysses Undercroft and Gulgus Machydon characters. One apocryphral post remains, it was proving too hard to rework and I didn't have the heart to delete it because it's a particular favourite of mine and made me giggle when I was writing it. Galewind returns home to the Persephone, after a rare RP jaunt around the sim, and to Seren's astonishment she discovers Galewind has borrowed clothes from her wardrobe including a terrible orange wig that she won't admit to owning.

You might think why go through all the effort of changing a character if it's such a pain to do, especially one who is rarely seen inworld. Well, just because! I'd tried to reboot this character once before in order to play her more often inworld. She's a very difficult character to play and I find it hard to make her behaviour consistent in the blog. She's also continually getting mistaken for an Andorian or just last week, a Hoto Nagi. It makes RP difficult when the person you're roleplaying with has completely the wrong idea about what the character is! I suspect that I'll miss the original version of the character - there's a definite comedic spark between them and I don't know if that humour will work the same with the new version.


Of course, it doesn't really matter. The contents of this blog don't affect the rest of the RP universe but for some reason I felt the need to explain - perhaps to myself - and this post does that. So, thank you if you've read this far. It's a couple of minutes of your life you'll never get back but hey :)
