v0.10 Sneak Peek #57: Two More New Characters (Patreon)

These two are more "long-time-coming" characters that Serrated & I first started planning in 2019 while creating Debra together. Finally, you will see both of them next year surviving as part of Ali's group in the north part of town. Speaking of, there's also two more Ali previews here as well.

I hope to share more sneak peeks this month, but until then, hopefully some interesting tidbits can be found in the character bios of Veronica & Preston Valiquette:

Veronica Valiquette - Age: 44, D.O.B. August 22nd.

Heiress & CEO of The Val-Tech Corporation: a cybernetics research & development mega firm and currently F.W.I’s biggest competitor for government & military contracts. Veronica Valiquette has never not been an ambitious, egotistical, vindictive, cold hearted, 24/7 bitch who always gets what she wants, in business or otherwise, even if that means using her body to do so.

Shortly after the birth of her only child born in wedlock, Preston, Veronica soon found herself pregnant once more, only this time at the hands of an affair partner enhanced by F.W.I.’s Fertility Enhancement Serum for the first time. The resulting seven day enhanced pregnancy caused Veronica's body to change & develop in unexpected ways.

Outraged that this modification to her body’s proportions had happened involuntarily(despite being particularly fond of the results) Veronica embarked on a petty quest for vengeance against F.W.I that has long since spiraled out of control, and endures to this very day. There is almost no line Veronica Valiquette will not cross if it gets her one step closer to securing the demise of Fertile Womb Industries.

Seven years ago, an international dispute led to the retaliatory assassination of her husband, Jaqcues Valiquette. Henceforth, Veronica, inherited sole ownership of the company & family fortune, to the chagrin of Val-Tech’s board of directors who grow ever frustrated at her pivot away from their trademark robotics & machines of war. Instead of autonomous drones & nanobot solutions, Veronica has insisted on costly investments into her long term special interest - the cybernetic enhancement of human soldiers.

This fusion of machine and man was outside of Val-Tech’s traditional wheelhouse, but Jacques Valiquette had permitted the creation of such a department in order to satisfy his wife’s almost juvenile obsession with undercutting F.W.I. - leading to the creation of Dr. Wichmann’s Viper program. Now that there’s no one left to reign her in, however, Veronica is throwing the full weight of the company behind beating her perceived rival out of contracts to the detriment of her own company's profit margins.

After the birth of her F.E.S. baby, she had tasked her husband with developing custom nanobot contraceptives to prevent further pregnancies or lactation - a system with security permissions that can only be overridden with Jacques Valiquette’s own DNA. Thanks to this, Veronica has grown accustomed to reckless sexual engagements over the years, whenever she's really needed to de-stress, given the complete lack of personal consequences. However, Veronica is aware that the contraceptive implants have unintentionally limited her pleasure receptors, so even though she can still achieve an orgasm just fine, deep down she longs for the day she can once again attain the nostalgic feeling of an uninhibited, baby-making climax. Something she’s not experienced since the death of her husband.

Following years of his corporate acquisition attempts, which failed thanks only to her supreme veto power over the board, Veronica has traveled to Ashton Lake at the invitation of billionaire Norman Fairchild who has at long last finally agreed to treat with her in person. Veronica’s goal? Negotiate the redirection of funds from one of F.W.I.'s biggest financial donors to Val-Tech at any cost. A chance she’s sought for almost two decades.

Veronica arrived in town, booking a room on the 4th floor of the Casino for herself, her security detail & Preston - her disappointing, "idiot" son whose presence had unfortunately been requested to the annoyance of both Valiquettes. Unfortunately, before they were able to have their scheduled meeting with Fairchild, the Ashton Lake zombie outbreak began, and the hateful mother-son duo have been stuck surviving beneath the north part of town with the rest of Ali’s group ever since...

Loves: Being superior. Vengeance. The idea of her Husband. Money. Authentic animal fur. Hating F.W.I. Being a massive bitch. Cock big enough to make her feel something. Lactating. Being Pregnant. (Those last 3 kinks have developed over the last 7 years as extreme yearnings due to her nanobot contraceptives depriving her of them)

Hates: Everything & Everyone else, especially her disappointment of a son.

Favorite Food: Peanut Brittle (Preston is allergic to peanuts, which only makes her love for it stronger)

Preston Valiquette - Age: 18, D.O.B. July 24th.

Never living up to his late father’s genius in anyone else's eyes, Preston was the one person Val-Tech's board of directors would loathe to see dictate the company's future more than his mother, Veronica Valiquette. Despite attempting to groom him into Jacques’ worthy successor, the board conceded that Preston would sooner turn Val-Tech into a sex bot manufacturer than return the corporation to its successful roots. But thanks to the legally binding will of his father, that is exactly the future that awaits the corporation if no action is taken…

Preston’s relationship with his distant, impossible-to-please mother was already strained before his father’s passing and has only deteriorated further ever since. Often left to his own devices during his formative years while his mother ran the company and pursued her many passion projects, Preston showed little interest in schooling. Finding it trivial & boring, he did only the bare minimum to pass in order to dedicate most of his time to teaching himself practical tech skills with his irresponsibly large allowance & unrestricted access to his father’s home workshop.

What should have been recognized as a genius was seen as slacking by Veronica, to which the mere sight of her son became a constant reminder that he would never fill the shoes of her late husband. When rarely forced to think of Preston, she simply couldn’t recognize a single trait that reminded her of Jacques, frustrating her irrationally.  

Despite what is thought of him, be it by Veronica or the board, Preston is genuinely a cybernetics prodigy in much the same way his father was, something only Jacques himself seemed to pick up on. The only major difference is that Preston has zero interest in making toys for the military, or running a company. In fact, the only Val-Tech project to ever capture his attention was the Viper Super Soldier program. Or more specifically, the kinds of modifications Dr. Wichmann could achieve in the human body with cybernetic enhancements. Or even more specifically, the changes that could be made to one's fertility & reproductive systems.

Ever since he got a glimpse at the work, he was never able to erase that imagery from his mind. As such, unbeknownst to anyone, Preston has spent much of the last two years (when he wasn’t phoning in his education or enjoying his card games) hacking into Val-Tech’s secure archives & reverse engineering parts of Dr. Wichmann’s work to make & install his own personal enhancements. It’s now been one month since his 18th birthday, and his latest round of implants have finally healed.

It’s been long enough. Time for a test drive...

The truth, of course, is that this duo couldn’t be more alike. Just as cunning & sociopathic as his mother, if not more so, Preston now looks forward to taking advantage of the chaotic survival experience currently unraveling in Ashton Lake to finally pursue his own longstanding desires…

Thank you again for your continued support.
