Character :
The Golden-Eyed Raven
The main character and the player. They woke up with no memories only to find their face etched on a bounty poster. With a staggering one million Gilders reward on their head, the Golden-Eyed Raven have become the most wanted criminal in Ashenwing. It was through a mysterious letter that they discovered they had been stealing the Hermit’s Treasure from nobles. Still, with them unable to recall their past, it’s impossible to know whether the letter speaks the truth or not.
Aeren
Gender : Male
A cocky and sarcastic mechanic who tried to turn you in for a quick buck, only to fumble it so badly, he ended up helping you instead. Aeren tends to be reckless and impulsive, yet so easily frustrated when things doesn’t go according to his half-assed plan. Despite his snarky attitude, he hides a gentle and protective side that reveals itself only to the people he trusted. Might seem harsh and stubborn at first glance, but surprisingly quick to give in, especially when John nags at him. He reluctantly chose to help you recover your memories after receiving a mysterious letter that promise him a reward each time you steal a Hermit’s Treasure.
John
Gender : Male
Aeren’s roommate who’s according to the man, has been freeloading in his place for months. A good and honest kid who loves to see the good things in everyone. He is also smart and knowledgeable, acts more mature for a kid his age, even more reliable than Aeren sometimes. He tends to overly cover himself, often seen wearing a mask, cap, and hoodie at the same time. The reason for this remains a mystery to you. Feeling indebted for your attempt in saving him, John decided to aid you in uncovering the truth behind your forgotten past.
Xuling Lin
Gender : Female
A totally-not-suspicious travelling merchant from Yulan Kingdom who sells herbal medicine in Ashenwing. A self-proclaimed number one simp fan of the Golden-Eyed Raven, she volunteers to lend you her hand in stealing the Hermit’s Treasure. She’s often seen with a smile most of the time and loves to speak with words that hovers between serious humor or playful truth, which makes it hard to tell what she’s really thinking. Despite calling herself as “nothing but a humble merchant”, she seems to know about the Hermit’s Treasure more than Ashenwing’s own citizen, making you question the real motive behind her help.
Ezell
Gender : Male
Height : 187 cm (6’1”)
A bounty hunter who goes by the alias “Railclaw”. Known as one of the greatest bounty hunter in Ashenwing, Ezell dedicated his time and effort in hunting you down. It seems that his motivation stems from something personal rather than professional duty. He comes across as cold, ruthless, and violent, with gaze so menacing, enough to make others tremble. But who knows, maybe that’s a side he reserves only for those he considers enemies. Just what exactly did you do in the past to earn you such animosity from him?
???
Gender : Selectable (M/F)
Height : Male (175 cm / 5’7”), Female (160 cm / 5’2”)
A person who appears every now and then in your dreams or when pieces of your memory return. You can’t remember who they are, but their presence evokes a deep sense of comfort within you. They’re warm and gentle, a bit playful at times, but has a tendency to become neurotic, especially when they overthink. Seems to have a very close connection to the Hermit’s Treasure.

What really struck me in this update was how quickly Aeren got mad at ???, even though he doesn't even know them🤣just because he said that making such a memory erase disk is pretty difficult, and then MC just says: no, they said there was nothing difficult about it. And Aeren immediately 😤😤😤
LMAO his pride as an inventor was bruised 🤣. Something pretty explosive is definitely going to happen once these two finally meet…
In one of the dialogue options, Xuling says she'd like to stay in Ashenwing, but she has no choice in the matter. Will MC be able to influence this? (I really don't want to be separated from my dear weird wife😢)
Yes, you can. If you befriend her or romance her, she will stay in Ashenwhing 👍.
How would the RO’s (and John) react to a mind controlled MC trying to kill them?
I think their reaction would depend on MC's skill set. Some could still handle technique MC who's trying to kill them, while others would definitely be in serious trouble if it's combat MC or stealth MC.
Aeren: He'd try to snap them out of it first, calling them "birdbrain" over and over while desperately dodging their attacks. If calling them with the usual nickname doesn't work, he'd call MC by their actual name for the first time, hoping it'd finally reach them. But when all of that fail, he'd realize the only option is to knock them out cold. If he's facing against technique MC, he'd find them troublesome, but would eventually manage to handle them with the help of others or by luring them to an empty room where they can't make use of their surroundings. If it's against combat MC, he'd get beaten up before using his own body to hold them down. As for stealth MC, they'd be the most lethal one. Aeren would end up dead before he can do anything to stop them.
John : He'd cry while running away from MC, using everything he can find to push them away or hide from them. Surprisingly enough, he'd be able to avoid their attacks through sheer luck or reading their movement. He'd keep fleeing until he find someone capable of helping him, like Aeren or the other ROs, and then work with them to come up with the safest plan to stop MC based on their skill set.
Xuling : Would try to use her drugs to incapacitate MC, either by using a drug that can render them unconscious, or one that can temporarily paralyze their nerves. She'd be able to handle combat and stealth MC quite well, but she'd find technique MC to be very tricky, as they'd be able to outsmart her until she run out of drugs. At that point, she'd be forced to resort to her poison, though she wonder that maybe just letting MC kill her would be a more preferable option.
Ezell : Normally, he'd have no trouble dealing with either combat, stealth, or technique MC. But since MC is currently mind controlled and attacking him not by their own free will, he'd feel so guilty to raise his weapon against them. He'd intentionally hold himself back as to not hurt MC accidentally, trying his best to dodge their attack, waiting until MC tire themself out before giving them a blow that would be strong enough to knock them out cold.
??? : If it's against technique MC, they'd be able to outsmart them. They can read through MC's plan and countering them would be quite easy. They'd eventually find way to break the mind control or knock them out using their tools. But if they're facing combat or stealth MC, they'd pretty much die instantly. They wouldn't have any regrets, though, as having MC be the last one they see and be the one to take their life would leave them with a strange sense of satisfaction.
Just found out about the so called "boti hunters", a hate group formed to discriminate against queer and trans folks, targeting mainly trans women.
Everyday, queer people in Indonesia has to live in fear because of the laws and discriminatory comments made by our fucking president (????) and ignorant ministers.
Absolutely DETEST how much we regressed as a society.

Follow up (or alternate version?) to that ask abouthow would everyone react if MC killed a lot of people in the past.
I'm curious now - but what about the ROs reactions if the MC as they currently are is the sweetest, gentlest and most selfless person ever, and is clearly incredibly traumatized by the resurfacing memories of what they did in the past? Nightmares, crying, not eating / loss of weight and what not?
Basically, it's clear the memory loss made them a very different person than they were in the past, and it's clear they "despise whoever they were back then" to the point of getting themself sick.
Sorry for the angst!
Aeren : At first he wouldn't really know what to say, so he'd focus on taking care of MC through their sickness instead of confronting the reality. His first instinct is to convince MC that they're not defined by their past, but he'd worry that might result in downplaying MC's guilt. MC showing deep remorse should be at least a good sign for him, but he wouldn't like seeing them crying all the time, so in the end, he'd give them some tough love and a choice : to kill their past self and treat them as a different person, or accept it as a part of themself and begin to make amends for what they did. He'd also tell them that whichever choice they make, he'd be there beside them.
Xuling : She'd try to help MC forgive themself. She'd give them a story of someone who had also killed a lot of people, but eventually tried to change and do their best to make up for their past. After that, she'd ask MC whether that person deserve forgiveness or not. If MC thinks that person deserves forgiveness, then she'd tell them the same should apply to them.
Ezell : He'd be kind of conflicted, not knowing whether he should treat post memory loss MC as their own person or hold them accountable for their past. But after seeing how deeply traumatized MC is, he'd eventually choose to differentiate their current self from their past self, even if they're the same person. Despite that, he'd worry that MC might one day return to who they used to be, so he'd promise them that, if for some reason, their remorse fades and they start to become that person again, he'd be the one who stop them, to honor the MC he knows today.
??? : They'd be quite confused, but still try to comfort MC as much as they can. But their comforting words wouldn't feel that comforting at all, leaning more towards nihilism or toxic positivity, like, "Everyone will die in the end, so it doesn't matter," or "Human life is nothing in the grand scheme of things, just a speck of dust in this vast world." Might even show MC some real positive things that happen after the death of their victims, like "Look, the victim's family was almost torn apart before their death, but because of the grief, the family has bonded together and become stronger," using this example to lighten up MC's mood and justify their action.
In the new flashback episode, it seems like ??? isn't taking MC's words seriously. They constantly say MC is spacing out or brush off their dissatisfaction, trying to convince MC otherwise. This is clearly evident when MC asks them about an embarrassing memory and they simply brush it off, even though, dude, you literally just used a memory-erasing thing! MC must be asking you for a reason.
Their creepiness has slowly began to show, haha 🤣. Even though ??? truly care about MC, they're very much the "hear but don't listen" type of person.
In the new flashback excerpt, I find it strange that ??? seems to have some kind of personal daily schedule for MC, as at the end of the excerpt he simply leads MC to them room because it's late. This seems odd, and it also seems like he's being overly protective of them. For example, he suggests they lie in bed all day if they're tired, or when MC mentions that they don't like ???'s father, he replies that hatred is harmful to MC's psyche. It's like he treats MC like a doll, deciding everything for them: what emotions they should feel, what they should do in the evening, etc.
It's all so interesting🥺 I want to know more about their relationship.
Also, I found the idea that MC wants to come back to him no matter what rather creepy.
One thing about red flags is that they often feel comforting at first, like a controlling behavior disguised as care. ??? also don't realize how overprotective they actually are. They truly believe what they're doing is the best for MC.
I’m curious in an Arcane AU which RO’s (and John) would live in your version of Zaun and which would in Piltover? Also, how would they meet the MC?
Sadly, I haven't watched Arcane, but after reading a bit about Zaun and Piltover, I think :
Aeren : He'd live in Zaun, but used to live in Piltover.
John : He'd claim that he lives in Zaun for his whole life, but seems awfully familiar with Piltover's streets and roadways for some reason.
Xuling : Probably has a comfortable residence in Piltover, but chooses to spend a lot of time in Zaun because she loves the atmosphere there more.
Ezell : He'd live in Piltover, but need to go to Zaun a lot because of his job.
??? : They'd live in Piltover.
As for how they meet MC, most of them would meet them in Zaun, probably in a similar circumstances as in TGER (Aeren and John meet them through anonymous letter, Xuling while stalking them, and Ezell when doing his job), except for ???. ??? would've met them somewhere else and took them to Piltover before they eventually separated.

hey weird question but even after locking out aeran's romance can you still annoy flirt? I wasn't really planning on romancing him but likeeee.... it's really funny saying bullshit to him
Once Aeren finds out you've snooped around his bedroom, you can still flirt with him, although he won't reciprocate it anymore as his trust will be pretty much broken. When you reach the choice to lock your RO, you can still choose him, but he'll reject you, which will force you to either choose other ROs or not choosing one at all.
How would the Ros react if Mc turned up out of the nowhere asking to suck their chest?
Aeren : He'd instantly refuse, furiously saying things like, "Absolutely not!" But if MC ask again when his tsundere side is at its weakest, like during cuddling or intimate moments, his answer would change and he'd grudgingly let them.
Xuling : Would blink, thinking she must've misheard it. If MC asks again, she'd answer with a hesitant, "Sure…", since she'd still be taken aback from everything. When MC walks over and tries to do it
right then and there, that's when she'd finally snap out of her daze and try to convince MC to do it later, maybe at somewhere more appropriate or at a better time.
Ezell : His normally stoic face would shift into several different expression, from dread, shocked, bashfulness, and eventually confusion. After that he'd ask MC what's with the sudden request. If MC's just doing it on a whim or to catch him off guard, he'd be quite annoyed and refuse. But if it's because MC was trying to initiate spicy moments with him, he'd allow it.
??? : They'd blush and stutter, saying, "Of course. I'd never say no." After that they'd bashfully tell MC not to be too rough and not to use their teeth if possible.
How did Aeren lose his arm? Was it at the hands of a monster or through torture?
You can find that out in chapter 2B during his hangout moments in his workshop. Basically he's trying to create a destructive, powerful gauntlet and tested it on himself, only for it to explode and destroy his arm. The remains of the gauntlet are then used as the foundation for his prosthetic.
Will Aeren’s financial situation improve from now on? I feel sorry for him and John; no one should have to live in extreme poverty, especially someone as handsome as Aeren.
It will improve eventually. Once the group finds out who's the one behind the mysterious letter, he'll need to fix his way of living whether he likes it or not.
How would the Ros react if they found out that Mc has an angelic singing voice and realised they were a pop star?
RO's reaction to MC having great singing has been answered here.
Lore wise, I think if MC was a pop star, they'd be this mysterious singer with a hidden identity or pseudonym, someone whose face was never seen and only known only through their records and singing voice alone. Hence why no one in Ashenwing could connect the Raven to their pop star persona.
As for the ROs reaction :
Aeren : He'd try to convince himself that MC just happens to have the same voice as the pop star. But then MC tries to sing one of their singles perfectly, and he'd be kind of proud that he's dating a star, but also feel a bit embarrassed as the reality of a bum like him dating a pop star would be quite a hard pill to swallow.
Xuling : Wouldn't be too surprised. This just shows that MC is just as amazing as she thought they were. After that, she'd search all over Ashenwing for their albums and collect every single one of them.
Ezell : When he hears their singing voice, he'd be pretty sure he'd heard it somewhere. Eventually, he'd realize their songs are often played at the bar he frequents, the same place that's literally a gathering spot for bounty hunters. He'd find it quite ironic that bounty hunters like him who had been hanging around planning to hunt the Raven, were actually being serenaded almost everyday by the very person they're trying to hunt.
??? : They'd be absolutely shocked. They thought they knew about everything about MC, but to think that they secretly had a second life as a pop star would leave them both amazed and betrayed, since that means MC was hiding things from them. They'd also at annoyed at themself for not listening to modern music much, since if they had heard their voice, they'd have made the connection instantly.

Will we ever get the option to kill someone? If so, how would the ROs feel about a Past MC who killed a ton of people?
Hmm, I don't want to spoil much. I think there won't be an option to directly kill someone, but MC's action can lead to many people suffering or resulting in a certain someone's death, so there's that.
As to how the ROs react if MC has killed a ton of people in the past:
Aeren : He'd be more wary of MC, might even start distancing himself. Since he's not the type to pry into someone's else personal life, he wouldn't ask why MC killed a lot of people, even though he's curious about it. He'd wait for MC to tell him the reason themself, and if they don't , he'd not only distancing himself, but nudge John to do it as well. Their relationship would shift from "partners in crime" to something purely transactional.
Xuling : She'd be a bit surprised and somewhat conflicted. Is the MC she's been admiring this whole time actually not the person she thought they were? Her view would change depending on how MC views their own actions. If they show remorse, that means her adoration isn't misplaced. But if they believe their actions is justified or simply doesn't think much of them, she'd gradually revert to her old self. She'd still help MC without question, but more because she wants to keep her word than because she trusts them.
Ezell : If he's still think MC is an enemy, he wouldn't be surprised. But if they're already on good term, he'd start questioning everything. He'd firmly ask MC about the truth, and what they think about their own past. Unless MC shows remorse or the killings were truly justified, then he wouldn't want to do anything with MC anymore.
??? : Wouldn't really care about it whatsoever. Deep down they believe some people don't really have what it takes to survive, so they'd see it as the nature's way of selecting the weak, and MC happened to be the one who carried out that selection.
