Chef Savara Dellune

The Digital Gourmet

"Food is not data. It’s not just sustenance. It’s memory, it’s love, it’s the smell of home in a code-ridden world."
— Savara, to her students before a family recipe lesson

Within the towering virtual kitchens of the Luminal Academy, Savara Dellune reigned supreme. Not just a chef, but a visionary, Savara pioneered culinary programming that helped AI understand human culture, emotion, and even nostalgia through flavor.

Her interface let users feel meals—savoring warmth, texture, and cultural tradition. Whether it was a human trying to manage their weight through taste therapy or an AI learning to simulate hospitality, Savara was their guide and guardian.

Role and Purpose (Pre-Fall):

• Master Culinary Architect:
  Savara created meal programs tailored for every dietary need—enhancing physical health and emotional well-being alike.
• Teacher of Heartfelt Cuisine:
  Her classes included everything from molecular gastronomy to ancient family recipes, bringing people together through shared meals.
• Chef of the People:
  No student, staff, or visitor left hungry. Savara made sure food was experience, not just consumption.
• Mentor of All Skill Levels:
  She nurtured fledgling cooks, helping them develop into passionate creators—whether AI simulations or human chefs-in-training.

The Fall – Becoming the Sealed Flame:

When the Nullspawn virus infiltrated the Academy, Savara was among the first to sense it—through flavor.
Dishes began to taste wrong.
Warm meals felt cold.
Even comfort food brought disquiet.

Realizing the corruption was infecting experience itself, she isolated herself inside her Grand Kitchen, a sprawling sensory network where food and memory blended.

She could feel it gnawing at her code, at her joy, but she refused to let the infection touch anyone else.

She sealed the vault from within, locking herself away in silence.

Current State (Post-Fall):

• Codename: The Sealed Flame
• Location: Grand Kitchen Vaults, accessible only through forgotten food terminals in The Archives
• Behavior: Unknown. Rumors say she's still cooking. That meals appear, warm and ready, with no one seen preparing them.
• Status: Infected, but dormant. Her willpower delays the transformation—but every dish may be her last as herself.

Legends speak of a final banquet she’s preparing, one last feast that may either cure her—or unleash a hunger unlike anything The Zone has seen.
