We are working on it haha

If you’ve been keeping an eye on my social media, I’ve been posting small sneak peeks over there in my stories

But! Don’t worry, I hope to finish it in the next few days because it has different versions haha

Here is a tiny sneak peek of how it's going! ☝️

​Our artist Liloooo has made this beautiful drawing for the 15 finalists who made it to the final event nwn🫶

​Hope you enjoy it! 🩷

​And please, go support her art on her social media!

Sadly, she doesn't have a Tumblr.

​But first, a little bit of storytelling hehe

​​⚠️ 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙼𝙴𝙴𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙿𝙻𝙴𝚃𝙴𝙳 — 𝚁𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙲𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝚂𝚂

​The echo of the last discussion still floated in the air of the boardroom when suddenly, the hiss of the heavy doors interrupted the silence.

The great hall opened wide, revealing a silhouette outlined against the dim light of the hallway.

Slow, firm footsteps advanced from the darkness, echoing on the marble floor until the cold light from the main screen revealed her face.

It was her... the fifth member of the Faculty had finally shown her face.

​—About time you showed up —Sheartooth muttered, interlacing his fingers on the table and looking at her with a raised eyebrow, openly disapproving of her lateness.

​—Oh please, you know how this goes... —Jita replied with a smile and an egocentric tone, fixing her hair as she walked toward the table— The best is always saved for last.

​Holly let out a little giggle, resting her chin on her hands in a playful manner.

​—And here I thought you didn't like to have fun, Jita? —Holly teased, throwing her a mischievous look.

​—I don't like getting my hands dirty, my dear, which is very different —Jita responded, maintaining her sophisticated posture.

​—Enough —Mockingbird intervened, clearing her throat firmly to regain control of the meeting— Several important things happened that you missed by arriving late. The database suffered a couple of A.C.M.E. attacks just a few minutes ago.

​Jita didn't even flinch, instead she let out a small, mocking laugh and scanned the screens.

​—But I see you’ve resolved it perfectly, haven't you? —she commented with disdain, brushing it off.

​—Yes, but at what cost? —Sage muttered, rolling his eyes with obvious annoyance while crossing his arms, exhausted by the newcomer's attitude.

​Jita ignored Sage's comment with absolute elegance —she walked over to Countess Cleo's imposing and until then empty seat, sliding into it with the grace of someone who knows she has absolute control—

​—Well? What are we waiting for? —Jita said, crossing her legs elegantly while fixing her gaze on the floating files— Time is ticking... and I think you all know perfectly well who my favorite is.

Finally... the winners are! 🎉

Congratulations to all the participants! I'm amazing by how many votes we got in the end haha 🤭

​I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. You are a beautiful community and I promise to gradually post drawings of all the participants ✨

​I also wanted to thank the event judges and members of the Faculty for participating in this 🩷✨

​Without you, I would have never been able to choose the winners, your judgment and artistic perspective were essential in making the toughest decisions.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your talent with me, for your patience during every debate, and for making 'Crimson Trace' shine so bright behind the scenes. I love you all so much! 🩷🫶

​And before I forget!

​We still have to upload the collab panel where all the agents who participated in the event will be showcased ✨

​That way, everyone will get their recognition and leave a little piece of themselves in this project hehe

​Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making it this far, we love you all so much! 😭🤧❤️✨

​But before revealing who made the cut... a little bit of storytelling hehe

Come read what’s brewing inside the Faculty boardroom! 👁️‍🗨️✨

​⚠️ ANOMALY DETECTED — RESTRICTED ACCESS

​The flickering glow of the monitors flooded the boardroom, casting bluish flashes over the faces of the Faculty. Suddenly, a silent alarm tinted the screens a warning red, and frantic typing broke the tense calm.

​—Gotcha! —exclaimed Mockingbird, flashing a triumphant smile as her fingers flew across the controls.

​—Got what? —asked Holly, poking her head curiously over her colleague's shoulder.

​—Look at the screen —indicated Mockingbird, pointing to the main monitor.

​In the center of the holographic panel, a corrupted file materialized. As the Academy's security code flickered, it revealed the confidential dossier of a certain... Le Rouge.

​—Le Rouge? —pronounced Sheartooth, drawing out her words with a mix of disdain and curiosity.

​—Well, well... look what we have here —commented Sage in a mocking tone, resting her chin on her hand— Mathieu Cruz, huh? Quite a cover for someone from A.C.M.E. Pretty creative, I must admit heh.

​—How did that get in here? —intervened Holly, completely taken aback by the intruder.

​—Through a breach... —explained Mockingbird, typing rapidly across her multiple screens to contain the leak— Someone breached our database and managed to slip in not just one, but... two fake backgrounds!

​—Impossible... —Sheartooth frowned, tapping the table gently— Who is the other one, Mockingbird?

​Mockingbird sighed, isolating the second encrypted file before answering:

​—Nowhere Man.

​—What?! Noooo! —Holly lamented, crossing her arms with a look of disappointment— I wanted to meet him! He looked so promising... what a pity.

​Sage let out a stifled laugh, mocking Holly's reaction a bit, which earned her a side-eye from her (-_-).

​—Alright, alright, that's enough —stated Sheartooth, regaining her composure and cutting the distraction short— Send the Cleaners to deal with this immediately. Erase any trace of A.C.M.E. from our dossier.

​Mockingbird hesitated for a moment, looking up from the servers to face the rest of the group.

​—Shouldn't we wait for...?

​The sentence hung in the air. Almost instinctively, the four members turned their heads toward Countess Cleo's imposing seat. The luxurious chair remained empty, marking the absence of the mysterious fifth member who had yet to show his face.

​—By the time he shows up, the database will have crashed on us —added Mockingbird as she returned to her screens.

​—You know how he is —concluded Sheartooth, adjusting her shawl with utter serenity— Far too reserved to deal with these kinds of technological trivialities. Clean the system, the selection must continue with or without his presence.

@bagelbun-art @shiskffomm @mica-mics

​Too much text, time to introduce the winners along with the reasons they were chosen! 🗣📢

1. Tayka ❤️

The level of detail it has is mind-blowing, my goodness!

I find the story so interesting—this is literally how I imagine a V.I.L.E. agent from the original series would be, they don't need a sad backstory to stand out.

I think it shows us perfectly how an academy agent could be a "normal person."

Their design is beautiful, from the color palette to the core reasons behind why it was chosen. Up until now, I hadn't seen a character representing the Inca culture.

And their strategy too? You can tell she is a very intelligent agent, I'd say she's right on Carmen's level.

The whole theme of "Valentino" and his "children" is just too ingenious.

She could carry out missions with absolute ease. Honestly, I think she is one of the best V.I.L.E. characters I've ever seen.

​Best regards, Sheartooth

2. Poison Moss 🐸

Their design strikes me as super cool and creative, just like their skills and talents. I found their backstory really interesting, as well as their way of being.

I love how they have that personal conflict when facing Carmen, and the regret they feel for many of the decisions they've made.

And despite that, they continue to work for V.I.L.E. while holding onto their principles, and that is highly respected, it makes them incredibly interesting.

​Best regards, Mockingbird

3. The Blacksmith 🪓

This beautiful young lady was chosen because of her design, I found it perfect for the character she is. I love that just by looking at her, you understand who she is and where she comes from. I feel like nothing in her design is excessive, and it's highly pleasing to the eye—both her "normal" and agent designs are divine.

​I like her background, I find it interesting, and how it isn't just forgotten like usually happens with other characters.

Her past impacts her development, and within reason, it's very consistent.

Her lifestyle leads to real consequences, and I like that—consequences. Plus, the personal relationships she develops and maintains are truly enjoyable to read.

​In conclusion, she is a visually appealing and engaging character to read about. I like her to the point of wanting to know more about her. 🫶

​Best regards, Sage

@corrupted-inkwell

4. Banshee 🎧

Reasons for choosing her? ALL OF THEM!

Have you seen the absolute masterpiece of a design this character has? It’s beautiful and clean, and she has so many outfits—everything looks perfect on her.

​As for her backstory, I find it so interesting to see how she didn't just decide to become a thief out of nowhere, her family molded her into one without ever asking if she actually wanted that.

The fact that she doesn't take thieving seriously is hilarious—while others strive for perfection, she just sees an opportunity to have fun, especially alongside A.C.M.E. Agent Aegis haha

​Putting the story and the character itself aside, can we talk about the artist? My goodness, how beautiful! She did absolutely everything a presentation drawing, the weapons, costume designs, and full conceptual art! She simply became my favorite.

​Best regards, Mysterious Faculty Member...

5. Viper 🧪

And for the end, only the best of the best

How could I leave out my favorite? Hehe

Ever since I saw him, I’ve just been completely infatuated.

His character design is perfect—I love how it goes full V.I.L.E. style, with the catsuits and his glasses, oh! He's an absolute darling.

​But don't let that fool you, because his story...

Is it tragic? Yes.

But it has a reason behind it.

The fact that there is an important motive keeping him from falling into madness is pure irony, if that motivation is gone, everything falls apart and that’s exactly what happens here.

The fact that his sister belongs to A.C.M.E. enriches the story so much and makes me want to know more! How is she still alive, my goodness??

Plus, his interactions with the other V.I.L.E. students strike me as so fun, haha.

​But yup, that’s why Viper is and will continue to be my favorite ùwú🫶

​Best regards, Holly

​Congratulations to the winners! nwn/🎉

​Starting today, the "Community Voting" is open!

Now it's your turn to choose who deserves to win a place in V.I.L.E. and in the book, cough cough haha

​As a reminder, these polls will be active on: Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

So don't forget to vote for your favorite! nwn🫶✨

🟢 𝚅.𝙸.𝙻.𝙴. 𝙵𝙰𝙲𝚄𝙻𝚃𝚈 𝙼𝙴𝙴𝚃𝙸𝙽𝙶 — 𝚁𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙲𝚃𝙴𝙳 𝙰𝙲𝙲𝙴𝚂𝚂

The lights inside the V.I.L.E. Faculty room reflected with a stark coldness over the large circular glass table.

​Holly, occupying the end that used to belong to Coach Brunt, drummed her fingers against the surface with a mix of impatience and mischief. Beside her, Sheartooth sat impeccably in Professor Maelstrom's seat, staring into space with her usual aristocratic detachment.

​The hiss of the automatic doors broke the silence of the room as two figures crossed the threshold with hurried steps.

​—It’s about time you two got here! —exclaimed Holly, leaning her elbows on the table while letting out a sigh of relief— Where were you? The database finished uploading, and we were just about to start without you.

​Mockingbird, taking her place in Dr. Bellum's seat, slid a digital tablet across the table —her usually confident smile looked tense under the dim glow of the screen—

​—We were thoroughly analyzing the database... —replied Mockingbird, adjusting the parameters on her screen— And there’s... something strange in the dossier servers.

​Sheartooth narrowed her eyes and adjusted her shirt collar with a slow gesture, visibly annoyed by the interruption.

​—Strange? —countered Sheartooth in a sharp tone— Explain yourself, the Academy's encryption systems are supposed to be infallible for this event.

​Sage sat rigidly beside her, crossing her arms in the seat once occupied by Shadow-san —her gaze swept across those present before delivering the news—

​—It seems a certain A.C.M.E. agent has managed to bypass our security barriers —stated Sage with a firm voice— They succeeded in infiltrating their dossier directly into Dossier: Crimson Trace.

​—Impossible... —Holly's mischievous expression vanished, replaced by a frown of genuine concern— How did they breach the Faculty's digital perimeter?

​—Will this... will this affect the dossiers of the other participants? —she asked, looking at her colleagues— We can't let them ruin the voting now.

​—Don't worry... —interceded Mockingbird, typing rapidly on her screen as lines of green code reflected in her eyes— I'll handle this and isolate the intruder file. Although... it would be much easier if you-know-who were already here.

​A heavy, dense silence fell over the boardroom. Almost synchronously, the four members turned their heads to look toward a specific spot at the table... Countess Cleo’s luxurious seat.

​The chair remained completely empty. The mysterious member... the fifth judge who would complete the council, had yet to show his face.

​—However, fully absorbed in hunting the A.C.M.E. infiltrator and preoccupied by the absence of their mysterious colleague, not a single member of the Faculty noticed the true magnitude of the danger—

​Hidden deep within the folds of the academy's corrupted code, perfectly camouflaged among the digital shadows of the server, there was someone else. Someone who did not wear the government agency's badge, but who didn't answer to the orders of the V.I.L.E. Council either.

​A silent specter watching their every move, waiting for the exact moment to strike.

And now, the winners! 🗣📢✨️

@corrupted-inkwell @hoshikocore

Congratulations to the winners! 🎉

We the Faculty members, chose these winners based on their character creativity, backstory, outfit design, gadget ingenuity, and who they are in the world of Carmen Sandiego ✨

​—I wanted to apologize for the delay in posting... classes are consuming me, help meeee haha :'D

But putting that aside, the page will be updated so that the 15 winners appear right at the top

​And I wanted to remind you that this is the first elimination, tomorrow will be the second elimination, where only 5 characters will remain. We will be more critical and will thoroughly study the dossiers to see who makes it to the finals

​Above all, thank you all for participating.

It’s so beautiful to see the support and the sheer scale this event reached, thank you! 🫶🩷

I'll most likely get around to making little sketch drawings of all the characters, haha so please don't feel bad if you didn't win.

We truly value all your hard work and dedication! 💖

And thanks to our Faculty members! 🤭

They are still a secret, but tomorrow the 2 members of this section will be revealed in detail

And we are still missing one more... let's wait for them to arrive mwahaha!
