NOVEL NEXT ⚔️ HERO GALLERY: Lorna (2025 Summer)
⚔️ LORNA WEISS ⚔️
The Warrior Who Defies Everything
Fair warning: For those just finding this book through Latest Updates—this is meant for a mature, 18+ audience. While there are NO NSFW pictures here, you might see some skin. This book carries the tags: AI-assisted, Sexual Content, Sensitive Content. Consider yourself warned.
Fun fact: Of all my characters, Lorna is the one that makes AI art tools throw absolute tantrums. Some of you've heard about AI struggling with hands and human features? With Lorna, it's a full-scale rebellion.
Average character art: 1-2 hours. Lorna? DAYS. Each piece takes 6-8 hours daily (often totaling 30+ hours) of fighting the AI, fixing hands, adjusting physique, correcting atmosphere—everything. She's the kind of character that high-level pros draw for $1000-3000 per piece. AI tools cost $20-60/month. So...you may do the math on why I'm stubborn about this.
Here's the thing: Lorna doesn't fit any neat little box. She's not your "bimbo" or "eye candy" character. She's physically powerful, mentally sharp, and yes—exceptionally beautiful (hence the 'Attractive Lead' tag). But that beauty is a weapon others use against her, a burden that shapes how the world treats her.
People love to think gorgeous folks have it easy. That's not always true. Sometimes beauty makes everything harder. Society gets real uncomfortable when a woman is strong AND beautiful AND refuses to play by their rules.
So here we have someone who doesn't let society dictate her moves—that's classic punk. What's different? She actually fights for something more than herself. She's not your typical cynical antihero. She gives a damn, and that makes her dangerous in ways the world can't handle.
"They can use my looks against me. I'll just fight back with muscles."
Year 2288: Finding Her Strength
First year in SIMU after escaping Oslo. Slouched shoulders, less confidence. We all start somewhere.
Command Presence
On the bridge of an Alliance Aegis battlecruiser. Some are born to lead. Others take it by force.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
At The Quantum Pour with Emmanuel. I'd put the original chapter name here, but decided not to. That look says everything about what's coming next...
Year 2295, her signature look. On Diego's StarWhale with Xin, heading into the unknown.
Midnight Alone, at a Gym in Space
Lifting weights meant for men, her right hand favoring a heavier bell since sword arm needs greater strength. This is how a legend maintains her edge. (Yeah, the AI butchered the hands; I've fixed one, and will fix another eventually.)
Act 4 Preview: Teaching Moments
Boxing training at the gym. Soon she'll be giving Xin personal lessons—he needs to catch up before Mars.
Secret Chapter: Hidden Identity
Even warriors need to play. Anime convention, superhero costume with subtle Nordling vibes.
Beyond Book 1: New Allegiances?
No spoilers, but that green-gold coffee cup is signature Directorate. Things change...
Act 4: Mars Awaits
Tailor-made Alliance armor for the Mars mission. Time to face Skarn and the Fenris Horde head-on.
🎉 That's a wrap on the Hero Gallery 2025 Summer! 🎉
Unlike the others, I'm NOT showing Lorna's Book 1 finale. She's tied to this entire franchise like Commander Shepard to Mass Effect—some mysteries deserve to stay mysterious.
