I was thinking about Viru today and while she's only a SH exclusive character, I liked the idea of the other DeadEye's characters having genderbent robotic AI's of their own. Much like how Virgil has Viru. The AI's would take on their creator's personalities and slowly morph their own, using their creators as a base. So they would develop completely different tastes in music, fashion, opinions, as well as appearance. Since they would first be made as default AI's and then slowly ask to have their appearance altered to suit their likings better. So in some ways, they could be the creators subconscious desire to look the way they always wanted to look, or dress a certain way. This is just an idea I humored while listening to Janelle Monae's new album, The Electric Lady, while I was running errands today don't mind me.

I'm also taking a few creative liberties with the story, especially with the vikings with obvious influences from the historical facts. Such as Halla being a Shieldmaiden and living up in the mountains with other Shieldmaiden's. There would be no males around there, since males have a problem with isolation. The males instead, who aren't warriors, would live at the bottom of the mountain where they care for the children of the females who ARE warriors, such as Halla. Also the female warriors are almost always large in size, challenging even the males. Her tribe would also be ruled by a matriarchy. With an elder female ruling them, like an Earl. After spending centuries trapped in Sweetlands though, they would lose a lot of their aggression against other cultures and lands. Instead taking an oath to collect any survivors who escape the evil factory and whoever finds a survivor is given the honor of escorting them through the lands. Hence why Halla sticks to Harvey, since she would be the one to find him. Another idea I had is, that while they are peaceful with other lands and aren't the type to go into battle over territory and resources (they have more than enough for themselves), they CAN get aggressive with each other. Like, when the Shieldmaidens gather for discussions, political or otherwise, fights HAVE broken out and women have DIED because of them. Halla herself has had to put her fellow maidens in their place when they speak out of line, or challenge her. You know, I think that's something I'll type out soon. It's an idea I've had cooking around in my head, so it'd be interesting to type it out. We'll see, hehe. But yeah, I still need to do A LOT more research, so this is just me basically rambling about the ideas I've had so far about Halla and her fellow vikings.
