Yet another new character

Hello. I haven't started v0.18 yet, but I can show you something I've been working on previously.  Warning! Major spoiler at the end.

This fabulous girl is our new character — Erika I. (or erika.eye on Deliverance servers). Erika is Deliverance local VR-specialist, and you can find her at the «Altera» club in the Concourse. With her help Blake will be able to create new memories or reconstruct some of the old ones (I've been remaking the old scenes, so if you only move forward, you might not know how they look now. Erika might help with that).

Erika is a trans girl. A bit cold and sarcastic at first, but Blake being similar to her will help to establish a friendly bond, if you're interested in that. And as you know, I don't like to just plant new characters into the story, they have to be somehow connected to everything and everyone. So, if you dare to spoil a big surprise, see below.

And more…

Okay. Here you go.

Erika is our fourth Isterband in the story. Yep. Someone they never talk about, and there's a reason for that. Erika used to be Felix's brother Jamie, until Dominique got hold of her, and turned her into a sissy (who later developed into a real girl, just like Blake!). Eventually, she got bored, and let her go, but not too far, she still brought her into Deliverance for some nefarious reasons. Personality-wise Erika is somewhere in the middle between her other relatives, being a bit more similar to Iris. Oh, and she was the reason Vanessa started hating Felix. She had no idea about Dominique's involvement, and blamed Felix for «letting Jamie fall into this mess». Felix on the other hand hasn't spoken to Jamie/Erika since forever, and has no idea about any of that. What a drama, right? Erika herself has no interest in reconnecting with them as well. When she lost her old name, she decided to drop her past along with it. She was never happy there anyway. Would your Blake try to solve this situation? Well, that's up to you. On certain playthroughs you might not even meet her. Ever. But she would be happy if you did.

So. What do you think?
