AC Community Questions: The Ælchemist

Hi The Ælchemist, thank you for joining me for this introductory interview. Please could you tell us a little bit about yourself and your role within the Assassin's Creed Community.

Col: In January 2025, you joined The Ones Who Came Before's Assassin's Creed Partnership Program, known as the Isu_Network.

Are you looking forward to working alongside the team during the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows?

The Ælchemist: : Yes! I'm very much looking forward to working alongside the team. AC Shadows will be a lot of fun. I've been waiting for this instalment since I first started playing Assassin's Creed.

Col: How excited are you to get your hands on the upcoming instalment?

The Ælchemist: As a person born and raised in the region where the game takes place, that has only increased my hype further.

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game have you been playing recently, and which game are you playing next?

The Ælchemist: I'm currently playing Syndicate on my Xbox due to its 60 FPS update. I'm having a lot of fun with it and will likely play AC Shadows next.

Col: Have you visited any of the locations from the games?

The Ælchemist: I have visited London many times and love the Elizabeth Tower. I enjoy visiting historical locations. 

Col: Which Assassin's Creed game is your favourite and why?

The Ælchemist: don’t really have a favorite AC game, but the closest to my favorite is Black Flag, as I love the naval combat and the Moby Dick mission.

Col: Have you attended any events within the Assassin's Creed Community?

The Ælchemist: I haven’t attended any AC events specifically, but whenever there’s a convention I’m at, I make sure to check out their displays.

Col: Do you have a favourite Assassin's Creed community moment/ story you would like to share?

The Ælchemist: My favorite moment was meeting Desmond's voice actor, Nolan North, and hearing him talk about voicing Desmond Miles. 

Col: What would be your dream setting for the upcoming AC Netflix TV show or future game?

The Ælchemist: My dream setting for upcoming AC content would be WW2 or the Inca empire.

Col: Do you have any personal AC goals you would like to achieve?

The Ælchemist: My personal AC goal is to someday become involved in some way with the making of a AC game, (voice actor, writer, Mocap Actor etc).

Col: What would you say is your most significant community achievement to date?

The Ælchemist: My most significant community achievement would probably have to be, becoming a partner with, The Ones Who Came Before.

Col: What is your favourite part of being a community member?

The Ælchemist: My favorite part of being a community member is being able to talk to and make friends with people who have similar interests.

Col: Do you collect AC merchandise? If so, what is your favourite item?

The Ælchemist: I do collect AC merchandise, mostly books, but my favorite is a behind-the-scenes book of the movie. 

Col: What advice do you have for people looking to get into social media management?

The Ælchemist: My advice for people looking into social media management is: Work hard, show kindness to your community, and never take anything personally. As long as you work hard and are kind, good people will follow you. Sadly, there will always be bad people on the internet. Don’t engage with them—they want a reaction. Ignore them, and either they will go away, or if they don’t and start talking about you on their accounts, it’s free advertising. 

As an Asian person on the internet, I’ve seen my fair share of racism. I strive to keep my communities free from discrimination and racism, and I have a zero-tolerance policy for it. So in short, just be nice, be kind, be smart, and work hard—you will grow as a person as well as your following. It’s always slow in the beginning, but once you get things rolling, it will start to pick up speed. Never give up and always work hard.

Col: Where can our community members find you online?

The Ælchemist: You can find me on:
