So if it wasn’t clear before, Akila is in love with Kat.

Hope you all had a good week! Mine’s been both slow and hectic at the same time (somehow), with both too many and not enough things to do. I know I’m late typing this up, but I always prefer it when the comics have a bit of text under them. I have a new bit of comic lore that’s mostly unimportant, but will help explain a few things in case it doesn’t make it into the final script. As shown in the comic, people with magical abilities can be various levels of power and skill. This is on a scale starting at 1, and could theoretically go on forever, but so far humans haven’t made it very high. Theo, for example, would be around 13-14, on the scale, while Andromeda would probably score around a 7 – 9. This said, Andromeda would absolutely trounce Theo if they got in a magical fight, as even though Theo is more powerful than her, she knows how to use it better. Skill is much more important than physical power here. (For those of you who are curious about the other magical characters, Ethan’s about a 2-4, Circe’s about a 17-18, and the Lady in White is a 28. ) Speaking of Circe, I know a lot of people really like her as a character (myself included), and while she won’t appear in the comic for a long, long time, I can give a little bit of spoiler-free into about her.  Circe (not her real name) is not of magical blood, meaning she killed someone who had them. She’s also a medical student, and my personal headcanon is she made a mistake that caused someone to die, and that person had magical powers. Magical transferrence is weird like that – you don’t need to have the intent to murder someone, as long as an action you directly make causes someone with magic to die. I’m not 100% sure on how far this extends – like if you planted a tree and 30 years later some mage in a car crashes into it and dies, I don’t think you’d suddenly get magical powers. Back to the topic of Circe – she knows quite a bit of magical healing (due to the fact she knows the human body well), and it probably one reason why Violet didn’t die. As for how she knew how to attach a robotic eye directly to someone’s brain, I’m not sure. Just roll with it. Speaking of Violet, I did a drawing of a character from a game (named caroline) who looks oddly like her in multiple ways, and it’s one of my favorite drawings ever. Posted below. Speaking of which, the 4 map Demo of my Doom WAD is almost finished. I’ll post it here soon. See you all next week.
