According to your posts I think your tastes are darker than mine for Lena. I do think that the possibility of Seymour using Lena's beauty to further his business empire can work but I think that would fit best if they have a poor relationship/she was reluctant to sign.
I wonder if the "dark" tone that was mentioned is more focused on the mental and not the physical. Is Lena vulnerable to people with dominant personalities and if she isn't careful she's at risk of losing herself to their idea of what she should be?
Yes...a bit darker than yours. Absolutely mental as opposed to physical.
And so I want her fundamental master to be her own compulsion to submission which I find erotic. Outright rape to me is a turn off and that would be similar to her being blackmailed. As I mentioned above, I explored that path and discarded it.
Also, I have, Lena's intelligence and charisma maximized to give what I consider to be an erotic contrast between that and her slavish submission.

I'm not sure how Ian would fit into Lena's modeling sessions because it's possible for them to be just friends. Are you interested in how awkward they could be around each other?

If they are just friends, then I see no participation with Ian. One of my saves is where Lena is celibate except for a relationship with Holly. In another, I have her in a loving relationship with Ian. In that one, Lena has also given Ian's manuscript to Seymour. Here, Seymour can get leverage on both and after a suitable time of subjecting Lena to more and more erotically demeaning solo exhibitions with numerous spectators and controllers brought in...Ian can be brought into the mix and be forced into subjecting his beloved Lena to depravities that increase in intensity on a very gradual basis...so that Ian's love is very gradually eclipsed by his lust...otherwise...how can his penis be hard?
Seymour can have some diverging paths in how he uses Lena further down the road.
- Share the trophy and gain leverage over competition in the snob circle. (blackmail/high-end escort/yacht party girl)
I don't think so Lena will have a freewill option when she is in too deep with Seymour.
I think this path would be most promising. Picardo; you amaze me. Aything can happen on a yacht. That route can wind up darker than the Dubai arc. And yes...Lena has only one or zero "will" points in my saved games.
And thats why the Seymour and Axel paths work well together,because in both Lena just gives control to others.
While I definitely agree, as I have mentioned before I personally have a turnoff where Axel is concerned. Nevertheless I will, in the future, try to include him with Seymour so as not to appear closed minded to people in this thread. Axel, unlike Ian, will want to subject Lena to the grossest of indignities, immediately throwing Lena off the deep end like....
or
I think Seymour would be too soft a controller; we would need to have Agnes in charge.
