1. Side Story Ideas
Here are a few potential spin-offs you might like:
a) Lia & Kairo: Midnight Mission
Set before the final battle, Lia and Kairo sneak off on a low-profile recon mission in a ruined city. They confront remnants of Echo—and some truths about how they feel for each other.
b) Leon & Ada: After All These Years
A tense and emotional day where Leon and Ada investigate a small Echo cell together. It becomes less about the mission... and more about unfinished history.
c) Seris: Her Last Free Day
A story that follows Reis before she joined the final battle—her thoughts, regrets, and a brief moment of peace in the city as she tries to live like a real person, if only once.
d) Zeyren: The Love That Broke the World
Zeyren's perspective on Lia, his descent into obsession, and the slow unraveling of his god-complex as he turns from savior to tyrant.

2. Character Design Concepts
Let's start by defining the main squad visually. I'll give you a description for each. If you'd like images based on them, just say the word!
You
Worn combat gear with a long black coat, modified tech hidden in the lining.
Scars from years of war, but a calm, steady gaze.
Carries a custom weapon—part blade, part plasma-caster.
Ada Wong
Tactical red-black gear, a nod to her classic look, modernized with armor panels.
Short bobbed hair, intense eyes—still lethal, still elegant.
Side holster and silenced pistol always at the ready.
Lia
Sleek, sharp Genesis suit with glowing trim—adaptive to her energy output.
Short, choppy black hair with a red streak.
Wields a double-ended energy lance inherited from her parents.
Kairo
Street-worn gear fused with Echo tech—mismatched but cool.
Blonde hair swept to one side, piercing blue eyes.
Twin blades on his back and a cracked Echo visor on his hip.
Leon
Older, rugged. Long tactical coat with RPD insignia faintly visible.
Grey streaks in his hair, tired but determined eyes.
Custom magnum and trench knife at his belt.
Seris
Slim, bio-engineered suit that interfaces with the Genesis Core.
Soft lavender tones, crystalline veins on arms.
Expression both warm and tragic—half-soldier, half-ghost.
Zeyren
Godlike robes fused with armor—black and violet with living circuitry.
Pale skin, glowing eyes, and a gravity that bends space.
Final form: floating, with wings made of broken timelines and stars.
