The House of Grace was a renowned and wealthy dynasty of ancients from the distant past. They were once noble and great, true benefactors who despite their outward appearance pursued the goal of bringing holy light and grace to whole society, which was their purpose in life. They were easily recognizable by their ornate horned masks with sharp beaks and invariable red robes. Masks of the dynasty's ruling council were hereditary for members of the House, passed down from generation to generation — each mask symbolized a specific role.

The Head of the House was Embodied Radiance, Tale Of Grace. He was a calm, kindhearted, and wise ancient who guided the dynasty for many cycles and helped those in need. As its greatest gift to the people, House built an iterator named Light of Hope — at the time, a technological breakthrough compared to other existing iterators. The magnificent, shining new city on the structure's roof attracted ancients from all over, and its rulers generously welcomed new residents and dear guests. Light of Hope was considered a full-fledged part of the House, and, as Radiance had bequeathed, he was destined to be their savior and the savior of the entire people. However, things turned out quite differently from the old Head's wishes. When Radiance decided he had fulfilled his life's purpose and went to ascension with peace of mind, his successor among the ancients proved to be not very far-sighted in their management of the House. Over the course of several cycles, for various reasons, House completely lost its reputation, collapsed, and effectively ceased to exist. Its legacy was the city's Supreme Council, which continued to wear the hereditary masks and red robes, but its current members bore no relation to the former dynasty.

Over time, the Council's ideals changed and became more severe, though its members continued to consider Grace their primary virtue. The city remained as beautiful and grandiose on the outside, but within, chaos and harsh laws grew. Light of Hope himself, as a full-fledged member of the current Council, became mired in his own pride, completely oblivious to any deviations from the original ideology, but that's his personal story... ***

Old biography hasn't exactly changed, just been expanded with new details.

Event Horizon is the newest model, an experimental hybrid of an iterator and a starcatcher (I think that starcatchers are like energy stations, although in the game we're not told about their purpose). According to her project, she was supposed to consume less water due to her unique construction, which had fewer biological elements. However, during her construction, the idea of ​​Mass Ascension arose, and the project entered a kind of production hell, as no one cared about building new iterators anymore.

Nevertheless, Event Horizon was completed and activated, although some plans were not realized. In the rush, she hadn't been properly calibrated, causing her can to literally fail to conduct energy properly, which ultimately ended… tragically for Horizon.

She wasn't upset about the ancients' ascension, as she hadn't had time to bond with her creators or understand them. She was a powerful, ambitious young iterator, eager to test her mettle on tasks beyond the capabilities of her elders. Her enthusiasm and overconfidence led to a mistake when she ignored warnings from her own systems and the local group senior's advice. Horizon was obsessed with her abilities and power, she wanted to know what she was capable of, what her limits were. As a result, the plating in one sector of her exterior burned out, causing a serious short circuit when rainwater got inside.

[old design] To prevent further incidents, her capacity was forcibly limited to 15%. It was a difficult decision on the part of the group's senior, but it wasn't just her safety that was at stake, it was her life.

Her life has changed a lot since then, as she used to be obsessed with her work, but after the incident, she became a nearly useless group member. At least she's alive and not destroying herself anymore.

Who was she now? This question haunted her for long cycles. However, over time she became a cynical hedonist who prefers active communication and jokes.

[with her "father", Light of Hope]

There's also a lil "comic" with Light and Horizon, and she still has her old design there. I don't like this thing 👺 but at least it shows their relationship.
