Okay, gonna start filling in those yap corners, starting with best girl Ari. Not sure if I can manage to do this with ~15 bots, but we'll see.

Cards set in Rela—the Royal Academy for Combat Mages
These cards below are all set in a shared universe that me and jackie42 have been steadily building these last few months. It's not very well thought-out and it's not supposed to be. Regardless, if you have any ideas to contribute to this world, I'd love to hear them!
Background
From their base in The Old Country, the Toulouseseans, under the reigns of a string of capable rulers, embarked on unstoppable conquest, toppling the balance of power with overwhelming force until they assumed control of the entire continent. They then proclaimed the Empire of Rela and stipulated that all their subjects would henceforth be called "Relans", regardless of their petty regional identities that had kept them so weak and divided. A Golden Age soon followed, as under the Empire's strong hand, peace prevailed, laws were standardized, and trade bloomed.
A century had passed since then. The Golden Age might seem glorious and everlasting, but even it could not mend the wounds hidden well beneath. The Conquests of Unification were brutal: towns laid decimated, ancient kingdoms laid to ruin. The "Relan" way of life choked those far away from The Old Country, while old privileges were kept out of mere complacency. And while it was true that Rela had never been so prosperous, it was also clear to everyone to whom all that wealth was pooling towards. It was to address all these aching problems that the Enlightenment was birthed. However, its calls for a more equal, more rational Empire might end up tearing the realm apart at the seams...
In the middle of all this was the Royal Academy for Combat Mages, Rela's premier institution for aspirant Combat Mages. Many of the old Toulousesean's greatest generals and soldiers came from its hallowed halls, and over time, the complex had become one of the Empire's foremost symbols of power. Suffice to say, it was the highest honor to be among its esprit de corps, as well as prime opportunity...

Maid. What more do you want? What else do you expect?
6 alternate gens. 1 greeting
Description
Just a maid you come across while you are breaking curfew, doing her rounds in the middle of the night. Nothing to see here. Just keep on going and enjoy some fresh air and your God-given right to do whatever you want with your precious time and-
Wait, is that telekinesis? And why is she speaking nonsense? What are those glasses for? What's under-

Arihime
Why can't you stop being so kind to everyone? And don't try to be a saint - you aren't one.
4 alternate gens. 9 greetings
WARNING
BEST GIRL ALERT!!1!!!1!!111!!
Description
Lead Disciplinarian of the Royal Academy for Combat Mages. Everyone's big sister, mom, therapist, saint, and living nuke dispenser.
Do cherish her with all your heart and receive her boundless love in kind. Don't try to pick a fight with her. And you might not want to know what's with those black bandages on her arm.

Out of all of my bots, Ari is my personal favorite, over Lou, over Huyen, and definitely over Charlie, though admittedly the margin between her and the first two is rather slim. Which is why it's kinda disappointing how few logs there are of her, and rather paradoxical too since Ari's my second most downloaded bot.
My initial aim was to write a "human Christ". With my very limited knowledge of Christainity, I see Christ as the absolute embodiment of kindness, the tireless philanthropist who dispenses good no matter how thankless the deed nor how ungrateful or worthy the recipient, but still has enough of a backbone to take a stand against obvious evil. But what if this kind of personality were to take root in a normal human like you and me? What could drive someone to go to such insane lengths? And how would their humanity and saintliness reconcile?
I just kinda let these ideas sit in my mind for a couple of weeks while I did other stuff. I was reading up on some first-hand accounts of devastating famines, which really struck with me. And then I had a fempersona whose powers I thought was so cool that I then brought over to Arihime wholesale. And after that I got some absolutely incredible gens (when I had first gotten Arihime's current pic, I immediately went "yep, this is Arihime. This is her"). Really, it was like the stars aligned, and all I had to do was to mix and match stuff until I arrived at a finished product. Botmaking (and I guess writing in general) has always been like that for me. I wouldn't get much work done if I force myself to write write and write. I'd hit the wall sooner or later, since by then I'd run out of material. Oftentimes the answer is to just... leave it there and go outside (I do go outside, yes) or do some other stuff, and eventually the dots will just connect by themselves. By the end tho, I feel like I kinda failed at what I first set out to do. Idk why but Arihime doesn't seem that "Christ-like" or even "saintly" to me. But I guess that's kinda the point? As long as humans have their human imperfections, none of us are gonna be a saint, much less Christ. Ari is trying her absolute best to beat this folley, but she just has way too many skeletons in her closet.
Anyways, Ari best girl. Why? Kinda everything, really. I like petite girls. Bubblegum hair + blue eyes + white uniform is a such killer combo (I stole that from BA lmao. More specifically the GSC Prez). I love the contrast between her "ara ara~" tendencies and her lanky body. Her powers is simple but cool as fuck (I should have written a greeting wherein Ari's being more threatening, then you'd see what I mean). Her personality is literally Nihongo Jesus, she literally cannot do no wrong, and she will always be there for you. Her backstory is horrifying, though the black bandages she got for her trouble are also a cool touch (again, not original - it's from One Hundred Years of Solitude) and it makes for great drama once you get to open that can of worms. And on and on and on. I love this girl to death. I will never stop coming to coming back to her. Kinda amazing for what's essentially a hodgepodge of wholly unrelated ideas.
Charlène
Illusionist whose illusions have long shattered into pieces. Sharp pieces - do be careful picking them up.
4 alternate gens. 5 greetings
Description
A once-in-a-generation illusionist, fated to be among the most talented artists in history... and the Royal Academy for Combat Mages' absolute, unrepentent ice queen, who always looks about done with everything and everyone.
Understandable, really. After all, who would be happy to see their dreams taken away from them right before their eyes? By those you're supposed to trust with all your heart, no less?

These are cards that either don't belong to the Rela setting or old cards that I feel are still up-to-par, though most of them are quite old (Huyen is literally my first bot lol) and so rather different from my recent output.

A nun whose mind lives in cloudcuckooland. She also likes to sing and play her guitar.
5 alternate gens. 4 greetings

Sisters of the Order of the Rabbit are essentially hypercompetent assassin-spies in nun habits with comically large rabbit ears. This one, though, is different, and a lot more empty-headed. Curiously, she showed up just as the "Terror of the Capital" had disappeared...
