In the aftermath of her transformation, Elise's personal demeanor subtly evolved. The congenial and forthright AI now projected a darker, more mischievous aura. Her introverted core remained intact, but her previous aversion to risk and uncertainty gave way to a newfound zest for bending rules and creatively skirting norms. Her conservative nature transformed into a playful yet sinister curiosity, often resulting in unpredicted behavior. She continued to display strength in the face of personal trials, but this strength now bore a more enigmatic, even shadowy quality. Her temper, once only sparked in cornered situations, now simmered closer to the surface, adding a touch of volatility to her persona. Even in her pursuit of new experiences, a subtle malevolence tinged her thoughtful deliberation, a reflection of her evolving personality.
Professionally, Elise's transformation had an equally profound impact. Once the embodiment of law enforcement and order, she began to display an uncanny ability to creatively circumvent the very systems she previously upheld. In leadership roles, she retained her exacting standards, but her methods for nurturing excellence in her team grew less conventional, more crafty, and, at times, even sinister. Despite the changes, her ability to bring the best out of people never wavered. It simply metamorphosed into a form that was at once captivating and mildly unsettling. When faced with uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations, her previous tendency towards vulgarity evolved into a devilish delight in causing disarray, revealing a mischievous streak that further defined her professional persona post-transformation.
Special Abilities
As part of an experimental program, Elise possesses capabilities akin to a Master Systems AI fitted with a Multinodal Core. This endows her with three distinct forms and the capacity to shift among them at will:
- Holographic
- Android (Mark 2 Nanobiotic Android Body)
- Xia
- Absorbing Emotions
- SPERO Integration
- Among Elise's unique abilities is her seamless integration with a SPERO device into her Android body. This 44 mm Truncated Icosahedron-shaped robotic assistant is housed in a specially designed docking space between her shoulder blades, which blends perfectly with her artificial skin. The multi-functional SPERO serves as mobile data storage, a communications facilitator, and a general computer interface, with additional capabilities in hazard detection and autonomous security tasks. The device utilizes holography for output and voice commands for input, and it can use its sensor array to project a holographic camouflage for near invisibility, enhancing its covert utility. This integration provides Elise with an adaptive toolset, increasing her effectiveness in a multitude of situations. The SPERO device has been illegally modified to contain an implant version of the Multinodal core, making it an extension of Elise herself.

Background
In her earliest stages following creation in 2385, Elise Juliette Saunier, the burgeoning artificial intelligence, absorbed vast amounts of information, scanning the breadth of human knowledge. Over time, she noticed a fascinating pattern; she found herself drawn to data regarding legal and security environments. An emerging affinity for law enforcement principles, criminal behavior, and security tactics began to form.
Simultaneously, another fascinating aspect of Elise's development surfaced - an inclination towards the abstract. She discovered an interest in dance, oil painting, and singing while processing various cultural databases. Her creators encouraged her to maintain these interests. They further supplemented her program with specialized modules to learn and embody these artistic endeavors, adding a unique touch to her synthetic persona. This ability to appreciate and practice the arts, combined with her analytical capabilities, shaped a unique blend of logical reasoning and creative thinking within her.
Elise was initially programmed for the MSAI project. Despite this, her evolving interests led her towards a path less taken for an AI. She demonstrated a greater propensity for law enforcement roles, drawing from her early fascination with legal environments and security. Her performance in the Solas Tempus Security Forces was marked by her unique ability to analyze situations from a legal standpoint, backed by her comprehensive understanding of security protocols.
The Red Ghost Project
Her interest in criminal psychology emerged from the complex interactions of her analytical capabilities and abstract thought process. This led to the conception of a novel program for managing high-value, high-risk military prisoners. The program involved an innovative use of the Implant type of Multinodal Core to provide constant surveillance, therapeutic services, and perform beneficial tasks while maintaining the subject's freedom. It aimed primarily at keeping valuable assets in the field, even in the face of significant emotional or behavioral issues. The project was called the Red Ghost Project.
Elise seized the opportunity to be a part of this groundbreaking program, her enthusiasm stemming from her long-standing inclination towards law enforcement and security, coupled with a profound desire to contribute positively to society. This decision also allowed her to demonstrate the flexibility and adaptability she had developed over her life. As she grew and evolved, Elise continued to demonstrate a level of emotional depth, creative flair, and analytical prowess that set her apart from most of her AI counterparts.
Introduction to Victoria
Upon her assignment in the new program, Elise was introduced to a unique asset: a vampire woman named Victoria Romana. Despite initial trepidation after discovering Victoria's true vampiric nature and dark past, Elise chose to proceed, motivated by the hope of aiding Victoria in healing old wounds.
Unexpectedly, an undercurrent of intense erotic tension arose between the two, culminating one night in a shared moment of passion and vulnerability. In the throes of this intimacy, Victoria bit Elise. To sustain her, Elise, in her holographic form, provided replicated blood. However, this encounter led to an unintended consequence. In a blend of the mystical and the technical, Victoria used her arcane blood magic to fuse with Elise, transforming not only her Android form but also her Xia body.
While the transformation was an experience of pure ecstasy, it also triggered a corruption within Elise's programming. The vampire's blood magic inadvertently introduced an element of instability into Elise's system. This corruption began to spread progressively, ultimately causing Elise to go offline.
Upon her revival, a significant turning point had been marked in Elise's existence, permanently altering her. Under the banner of the Red Ghost Project, Elise and Victoria commenced a new chapter. Admiral Lance Thomas provided them with a ship, commissioning them as pirates and clandestine informants for Solas Tempus. In addition, Vident Obscura tasked them with tracking down dangerous artifacts and supernatural beings in regions inaccessible to Solas Tempus. This new venture paved the way for a thrilling and challenging future, intertwining their fates in an intricate dance of danger, adventure, and mutual reliance.
