Can you share a bit about what was going on behind the scenes with Jelna? Because I know there was a lot going on back there!
Did you ever consider dropping the act publicly?
What's next for Jelna? Seems like she went through a lot of changes this game.
I am unsure of how Jelna came to be. I believe I saw the Investigator tree and fell in love, so to speak. From there, her first inspiration was Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds. But since she was going to Space Argentina, she was going to have transitioned over to Dr. Schultz from Django Unchained. It would seem I'm a fan of the actor.
But I started to feel uncomfortable with playing such an overtly evil character. I found inspiration on how to tame that from Arkham Horror, as the picture suggests. Zerra is basically her Sophie, plus some other goodies. It might be hard to translate her perfectly to the game! This combined well with my favorite episode of Black Mirror and the neural recorder. Technology is dangerous!
I did, of course, consider dropping the act. However, the situation never really called for it. She has been, after all, only been there for a week and a half. And she still has no intention of paying for her crimes. Ironically, despite being an enforcer, she considers herself above the law.
Jelna is now a bit shell-shocked when it comes to dark side folk trying to wreck everything. It's now her priority to take down these threats whether or not she actually understands them.
