Does your antagonist believe in the supernatural?

Ayanami: only if it helps their* goal even if project Seele (project soul) sounds pretty much as if they* believe in such things. If it gets people to do your bidding it's good enough to be used.

*the pronouns are stand ins fir a possible group or entity of people, no one knows enough about Ayanami. For all that the crew of henches knows it could easily be an AI but AI's have no money or power Ayanami has both.

Ariæne: no Ariæne didn't believe in mythical, supernatural or esoteric stuff as they had a functioning memory and they still doesn't believe in it. Only less understood science and scientific phenomenons. If you can't explain it without any mythology/supernatural/esoteric your simply missing knowledge about 'the thing.'

14. Who does your antagonist care about?

Ayanami: Pursuit of project "Seele" (soul) as we learned of today thanks to the Phantastik Prompts.

Ariæne Johnsen: Making sure that Ayanami is sophisticated with the current mission. Maybe some time with their personal assistant they calls her K., K. wears the typical black hench uniform of the Nethrazier Crew under Ayanami's orders but K. helps calm down Ariæne in their worst moments, if the fractured memories & loss of memories become the worst emotional chaos for AJ. Like waking up not understanding where they are or who K. is and not knowing why K. knows so much about Kiara, AJ's dead wife, where AJ hides their valuable Diaries or which notes they scribbled on their forearms the day before.
K. does a lot more than Ayanami would allow if 'them' would know about it, like showing her face.

Does your antagonist have any redeeming qualities?

Ayanami: hard to say, nobody knows enough about Ayanami. They (in lack of a better term) seem to be well mannered and somehow able to mobilize great forces in short time, but what qualities has a puppeteer according to the puppet? They fight against the Eltaryn and the whole organizations treats their soldiers well.

Ariæne: well they is loyal and if they can remember they stands to their word. Ariæne is the number one of Ayanami. They has to be effective and successful.

Your antagonist gets a call or message from their mother. How do they respond?

Ayanami: "Hello mum how are you?"
Tracking the call. "Whe haven't talked in aeon's." Triangulating the exact location. "So what can I do for you?" Pressing a button. "Of course I can it, I can absolutely, no problem. But first tell me about whats up with your neighbor?"
At which exact moment someone kicks in the door of the office of the scam callers, knocking them out and pulling the unconscious bodies into a black hover without markings and a rotating registration "plate."

Ariæne: tracing the ID and forwarding the Data to Ayanami. Preparing a black hover.

How old is your antagonist? Do they act their age, or do they feel their age?

Ayanami: well it's a surprise people know their cover name, nobody has an inkling of a shimmer of knowledge about Ayanami's age.

Ariæne Johnsen: somewhere between exhausted 29 to somewhere of fit enough 40 visually.
Ariæne doesn't know themself for sure, that's the crazy with missing memories of all kind.
They probably has a birth certificate, or an ID but not all Union ID's show the age basically it's only noted if someone is considered a legal minor. Ayanami possibly could know it but from their perspective it's not important to tell it to others.

Bonus: The Nethrazier. That ship has some really interesting tech people haven't seen otherwise which hints at something very new, contrary sightings of the ship go back at least 70 years. But most cases are marked confidential.

Antagonist POV: What advice would you give to people 10 years younger than you?

Ayanami (Antagonist Infernale): "Dear 'friend' you should know, you cannot protest the Eltaryn, ignoring them does not work, they may have roughly humanoid forms but all they think of is killing of everything you know. The Alliance is a good beginning but the Union sleeps a risky slumber & let them sleep through their own extinction. I know the truth, I have seen it first hand, once they arrived in a location they do not hesitate, they seem endless & relentless, killing everyone you know, destroying everything you know. Make no mistake they captured people alive but even I can't imagine for what purposes. We know nothing about their physiology or their mental capabilities other than that they are perfect for war & stand out against almost everything in nature with their blue color.
Do not retreat, kill them!"

If your antagonist played video games, what would be their favorite kind?

Well nothing about Ayanami is known despite their name (AI, Antagonist Infernale). So I guess it would be chess or something like Domino Day simulator but I guess that's something that whoever is behind it may enjoy more in reality than virtually.*

Ariaene doesn't remember well but as a trained soldier they has angood ability in 3D shooter games.

* How I imagine AI playing dominoes.

What is the gift your antagonist brings to the world

Ayanami: The Gift of Sicherheit

Ariaene: The Gift of Wissen

This answer is Denglisch, spielt maybe a Rolle.

Does your antagonist save money or spend it?

Neither

Money isn't a necessity anymore in that both Ayanami (Antagonist Infernale/AI) and Ariaene (Antagonist Junior/AJ) can life a peaceful life with the money they would get from the Union and probably also get actually paid.

Universal income is a fine thing after all, especially if it's combined with high salary per hour, state regulation on prices and an upper income threshold. However to answer this specific question we need to know more about Ayanami which is almost impossible, they, in lack of any knowledge about who or what is behind that name, are not a known entity. Arieane has a relatively good live on board the Nethrazier. Minus the Memory Problem. They could not remember if they wanted to.

No actual progress in the WIP well one word this month so far but thanks to the Phantastik Prompts today I created some new animals which led to me finally finding a Name for the Antagonist Infernale and cementing their actual role in the WIP. How they relate to AJ how they are connected to Kira and the Ghoz'Tarc or the Union and also decided upon the role of the Eltaryn.
Their name is another reference to another if my beloved Franchises but their connection and name even made it possible to link them to my weirder unfinished stories like Cube world... It reframes a lot but still can work with my 3 (and the fourth) possible endings...
