Cyberpunk/Transhuman Group (Interest Check, LGBT friendly)

[vanTheMad]

Hullo, E!

Based off of an idea I recently posted in the Solo Roleplays board, I thought it might be interesting to expand to a group game, and decided I'll check to see if anyone is interested.

I've recently started getting into Eclipse Phase, and its system of different and diverse "morphs" and backgrounds/factions really piqued my interest in terms of roleplay. While I would be hoping to use the Eclipse Phase setting, or an otherwise similar one, I would not be looking to run this in the actual system itself. The manual is free to download under the Creative Commons license, so even if you're not already familiar with the game or setting, if you've got an interest in cyberpunk/sci-fi/transhumanism, I highly recommend checking it out.

The idea for this game would be that we would be a collection of characters who are put into a situation where they would have to interact, such as a long space-flight or being selected for some special mission, inhabiting whatever morphs you see fit (either directly from the system or of your own design, though, for obvious reasons, kindly do not select the Neotenic morph, or otherwise create any morph which is similarly akin to an underaged character.) Because of the array of morphs available, it is possible for this game to include furry-esque morphs or similarly non-human morphs, but I personally would prefer to avoid that outcome.

Kindly chime in below to let me know if you'd be interested in a game like this, and if there's enough interest, I'll get a rudimentary character sheet going to start getting approvals in.

Character Outline Guide

Name: Pretty straightforward. Eclipse Phase allows for enormous diversity in names, so don't feel restricted on this at all.
Age: How old is your character? Bear in mind that longevity treatments are a thing, and you can swap out your body for a new one, so really this doesn't mean much, as you could be 80 and look 21, but it might help other players understand your character's worldviews.
Gender: Gender and sex in a transhuman world, especially the world of Eclipse Phase, is difficult to define. I would recommend that this simply be your characters personal view on their gender, and if their morph is a different sex, you can list that here as well in parenthesis or something.
Sexuality: This, like gender, is a lot more blurred in the world of Eclipse Phase, as physical sex is so fluid; changing from a man to a woman to something in between is simply a matter of being able to obtain a morph of the desired gender. We'll keep it relatively simple here though, and let you decide how much you want to write in this slot.

Background: The group you were born into or come from- these are more of your history or homeworld, while your faction is typically a more recent affliation. They begin on pg.131.
Faction: The group you're most closely affiliated with. They can be found on pg.132.
Morph: Your starting body, can be found on pg.139 of the manual. They come in four types (biomorphs, pods, synthetic morphs, and infomorphs), and have a number of subdivisions from there. For now I'm recommending avoiding the outright non-human morphs, as they likely may not appeal to the group as a whole.

Bio:  Any history, personality, appearance, etc., that you are interested in sharing with the group to help them get a feel for your character. Essentially, this is the "catch-all" section that the other headers don't necessarily cover.

Postive Traits: This is probably going to be optional but I think it would be really fun if players pick one or two Positive Traits from the Eclipse Phase manual (pg.145) that their character might have.
Negative Traits: As above, probably optional but could be fun for roleplay purposes- try picking a negative trait or two from the manual, (pg.148) just to spice things up a little. Really though, neither of this are required, just thought they would be fun to try.

Likes & Ons: Don't view this or dislikes as purely sexual or kink-based; what kinds of things is your character interested in or about? This can extend to kinks as well though, obviously.
Dislikes & Offs: Same as above; both for things they dislike kink-wise and personal dislikes.

I was quite sold on this game, and then I saw this:

Brought to you by the team behind the changes of Shadowrun Fourth Edition

TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY EVER!

So yes I am quite interested. I love this idea!

[vanTheMad]

It's phenomenal and also free! I wouldn't be looking to run the actual system per se, but the setting just has so many cool ideas for characters!

In the Solo request I did, I already have a loose character concept but the real fun for me is always making someone who complements the larger group as a whole.

[Angie]

Okay I love it already. So much awesomeness and all I've really read is the "Welcome to Firewall" stuff (I plunked down $20 and got the full thing).

[wander]

I already have an EP character fully statted out in my request thread, a starting one with no xp, so if you like the look of him, I'd very much like to join. :)

[Muse]

  Oooh!  I'm QUITE INTERESTED! 

Ack...  You wanted this freeform.  Sorry, I misread.  Best of luck to you. 

[Rajah]

The idea for this game would be that we would be a collection of characters who are put into a situation where they would have to interact, such as a long space-flight or being selected for some special mission

Would the game move beyond this initial premise or is that pretty much where you're looking to stay focused?

[vanTheMad]

I already have an EP character fully statted out in my request thread, a starting one with no xp, so if you like the look of him, I'd very much like to join. :)

Really this is just intended as an interest check for the moment, but I did take a look and they're fine! The actual skeleton for characters that I put up is going to be a lot looser, since I was leaning towards freeform on this, but stay posted- it does look like we'd have enough people to do a small group if nothing else.

  Oooh!  I'm QUITE INTERESTED! 

Ack...  You wanted this freeform.  Sorry, I misread.  Best of luck to you.

Alas, yes, I would be aiming for freeform, simply because I want to play the game myself, and also don't know the system well enough to consider running the game. If someone else with a more intimate knowledge of the system was interested in GMing the game I would sign up for that in a heartbeat, but I lack the knowledge required to do so for now.

Would the game move beyond this initial premise or is that pretty much where you're looking to stay focused?

The initial premise is just that; a premise. Really, I'd like this to be a bit more long-termed of a game, as generally I'm someone who prefers the story of a roleplay over the smut half. So yes, it could likely move past that premise, or potentially never even include that premise, based on what everyone is interested in.

[vanTheMad]

Alright, based on the fact that I've got at least three people interested, I'll get a little more invested in this. I went ahead and added a character info guide to the top, and will start working on a more fleshed-out premise. I'll be posting my own character shortly; once we've got a reasonable number of characters posted and approved, I'll check in with all the players and set up the actual In Character thread.

Name: Reagan Hierro
Age: Late 60s, appears about 26. Born before the Fall.
Gender: Male mentally, but sees himself as female physically due to extended use of Fury morphs.
Sexuality: Open to all

Background: Reinstated. Reagan was a soldier before the Fall, and died before he could be evacuated off of Earth.
Faction: Extropian
Morph: Infomorph. As an infomorph, Reagan has no physical body, but exists as a digital consciousness, preferring to act as a Muse for other people.

Bio: Reagan was born on Earth before the Fall, and spent most of his early life as a soldier working for various hypercorporations. When the fall happened, he wasn't one of the lucky ones to make it off of Earth alive; his consciousness was saved last minute and beamed offworld for storage. With no physical body to inhabit, he found himself uploaded into the ghostrider module of a socialite living in one of the Lunar colonies to serve as a Muse. He did so, without a terrible amount of fuss (these were the people who saved him from dead storage, he often told himself), for almost a decade, until he found himself one day seperated from the socialite who had been his host, with his memory foggy and the identity of the socialite gone completely, along with his memory of the last week. From there, he has remained an infomorph, finding a certain comfort in it, and has continued to search for a new host to bond with. He does have access to a Fury morph, currently in storage, as he still finds his infomorph form more reliable.

Postive Traits: Right at Home (Furies). Since Reagan was a soldier, he spent much of his life sleeved inside of Fury morphs, and as such, finds their form easy to control and almost comforting to inhabit.
Negative Traits: Edited Memories. For several years after his consciousness was transmitted off-world, he spent his life serving as a Muse inside one of the giltterati's ghostrider modules, though now that time is hazy and distant, and he has no real memory of who he was with or what occured during that time.
Neural Damage (Amusica): When Reagan's consciousness was uploaded offworld, some loss of data during transmission has resulted in a minor, but inconvenient, level of neurological damage and have left him with an inability to understand or make any form of music.

Likes: Having someone to be close to or inhabit, the view of Earth from the Lunar colonies, driving groundcraft, the smell of Martian soil.
Ons: Males, females, and everything in between. Acting as a Muse while the host is being pleasured. Passion and intimacy. Tends to lean slightly towards dominant when in a physical form, and genuinely enjoys egging people on while a Muse. Zero or low gravity environments. Greatly enjoys oral acts, both giving and receiving. Also enjoys exhibitionism/voyeurism (a trait he thinks he picked up from the socialite he used to inhabit).
Dislikes: Being seperated from others, inhabiting synthetic morphs or pods, the Jovian regime, spicy foods.
Offs: Uplifts, scat/watersports, pain, and any sex with even dubious levels of consent.

[wander]

Name: Fox Vaan
Age: 30, his Splicer Morph is grown to appear that age also. Born 20 years before The Fall.
Gender: cismale, doesn't mind inhabiting other gendered morphs though.
Sexuality: Open

Background: Scum. Fox was born on a ship of exiles that were sent to the Outer system. Though currently Fox now lives as a Martian vagrant, paying rent to stay in a bazaar stall overnight when he needs a roof over his head.
Faction: Barsoomian. Fox has various autonomist ideals though makes his bread and butter with the Martian freedom fighters most.
Morph: Splicer. A Morph genetically enhanced from a human to be enhanced in specific aspects. Fox's Splicer has had their charismatic gene traits enhanced and placed forward more.

Bio:
Fox was raised as a drifter on one of the first spacecraft swarms to be classed as Scum (people who drift the system in ships, going from colony to colony generally due to being exiled dissidents from the inner system corps though others choose the lifestyle freely or are born into it), he was born in the void of space, having no homeworld. He'd call the ship he was born on home for the first twenty years of his life. Raised on a mixture of Scum and Anarchist ideals, he grew to become involved with his Scum Barge's grey marketeering and smuggling as the swarm drifted through the Belt and Outer system, exiled as their ships were from the Inner system. Fox himself was gifted with an Artful Dodger-like charisma, an analytical mind and the ability to snaffle up whatever physical object took his fancy and drop it off wherever he wanted.

Then the TITANS AI network came and infected his home.

Fox was sent on an emergency Ego-cast for reintegration, which just so happened to be with a beta fork of his persona he had sent to Mars in a Splicer morph (so called as their genes have been spliced to be slightly better than baseline humanity). It was his only choice for survival, the TITANS had already taken over the Mesh server Fox's Barge used to store their ego back-ups, he could no longer be reloaded if he died or was infected. Already partially infected with a nanovirus from the TITANS, the whole debacle left Fox somewhat unstable, trying to find escapism in simulspace gaming when he could get himself into a server. He was also stuck on Mars and his home ship was long gone.
10 years have passed since then and Fox has come on in leaps and bounds, becoming a member of the Barsoomian movement for martian freedom from corps and getting a good helping of @ rep (the main rep economy currency for the autonomists). Fox survives by doing various smuggling for the Autonomists and with some help from his Muse (who has the programmed avatar of a real beauty) his grey market goods (usually erotic art and adult XP vids) cement his place as somewhat of an icon of the transhuman community today.

Postive Traits: Information Control; Fox is particularly savvy when it comes to not leaving a datatrail that will lead back to him on the Mesh when he uses it, which helps seeing as he's a smuggler. Murder Simulator Addict; FPS videogames have advanced to life-like aspects past the Fall. Fox spent some fair time in Mesh servers playing these Sims and is now a dab hand when it comes to called shots when using a firearm.
Negative Traits: Botched Merge; When Fox arrived on Mars, they botched the merge with the beta-fork he already had there. Periods of stress shake Fox's already tenuous grip on his memories and self-identity, leading him into a confused dissociative state. Depression; Fox suffers from depression, which makes him feel most things he does are hopeless or worthless and noone cares. He must rely on his willpower to do any sustained action, which is troublesome when it comes to networking and other elongated skill tests.

Likes: Liberty for all, a good night out with a fuck at the end, The Ol' Family (Scum), (Place name here tbc), the rush of a gunfight, pissing off the Hypercorps and Jovians, Porn XP and making it, his Muse.
Ons: Loves anal and loves doing it with any gender and most Morphs. Is slightly dominant and likes to keep in control. Likes corruption and helping partners enact out their naughtier fetishes and fantasies. More open minded than most. Has a special like for Morphs that look female though have male genitalia.
Dislikes: Petty authority (Hypercorps), being stuck doing monotonuous activities, removal of individualism from others, boredom, puzzles, Bigots (biochauvanism, bioconservatism, The Ultimates) and Fascists. Not fond of Lunars due to their treatment of the Clanking Masses. Not fond of Titan's politics because voting every half hour for every little thing would piss him off.
Offs: Same as my own, found in O/O thread.

As an FYI, recently the new sourcebook called Firewall has been released. I haven't got it yet, but if anyone is going to be playing Sentinels of the Firewall agency or really any character that may have some link to the organisation, it may be cool to check it out. :)

[Rook Seidhr]

Name: Cielo
Age: 35 (looks 25)
Gender: fluid
Sexuality: fluid but mostly gynecophilic

Background: Isolate
Faction: Scum
Morph: Exalt. Cielo’s morph is based on the human genome, cleaned up and optimized for mental agility, charisma and coordination, with a handful of useful augments.

Bio: Cielo (born Richard Skye) was born and raised in a trans-Neptunian habitat run by a religious cult. Those years are mostly gone—deliberately edited away—but co knows co learned the rudiments of psychology and psychosurgery at a young age. At the age of 18, co scammed access to the habitat’s outside communication systems and arranged an egocast to a Scum barge, partly by leveraging the habitat’s rep, but mostly by sheer chutzpah. Nearly two decades later, co’s an expert psychosurgeon with a sideline in nanofab programming—and one of the top petal-crafters in the System. Hey, the Scum don’t care; and co’s Triad contacts are as useful to them as they are to co.

Positive Ego Traits:

• Adaptability—Cielo finds it easy to resleeve into almost any morph, rarely suffering from integration or alienation issues.
• Eidetic Memory—co’s memories and sensory processing are organized for perfect recall.

Negative Ego Traits:

• Addicted to Petals—like so many other drug designers, Cielo has gotten a little too close to co’s work, and gets jumpy and moody if co doesn’t partake once or twice a week.
• Edited Memories—as noted above, co has wiped away most of co’s childhood, and no longer remembers how it was that a conservative religious cult in the outer system came to train a young teenager as a psychosurgeon.
• On the Run—co’s wanted badly enough by a Jovian exec for him to send assassins after co.
• Blacklisted—the same exec has made sure co’s rep on the C-Net is less than zero.

Motivations: +anarchism, –religion, +psychedelia

Morph Augments: bioweave armor, ghostrider module, medichines, mnemonic augmentation, multi-tasking, nanophages, oracles, sex switch, skillware with half a dozen assorted skillsofts, skinlink nanites
Other Noteworthy Gear: desktop cornucopia, general-purpose nanohive, seeker pistol with plasmaburst ammo, various petals

Likes: pre-Fall science fiction, concocting new mind-states, the Art of the Deal
Ons: females, herms, innovative biosculpt, mindfucking, sex under the influence
Dislikes: religion, the Jovians, restrictions on movement, suicide sports
Offs: waste products, vomit, pain, humiliation

[vanTheMad]

Potentially interested depending on what rating/section this would be in

It occurs to me that I never actually tested the water to see what opinion on this was; personally I would like to see it as Bondage level at most, group roleplays are weird for me when it comes to non-consensual, but based on group opinion I'm personally willing to go in any direction on that.

Also, your characters both look cool and are definitely approved :)

[Wajin]

Is there anything in the setting that would disagree with an Infolite in a Ghost morph? haven't gotten around to reading the whole thing

[Rook Seidhr]

Examples of Cielo's petals:

Eternal Sunshine simulates the experience of being edited down to a delta fork while wide awake. The user feels memories and personality traits slipping away, until they can barely remember who they used to be; they then experience being sleeved in a pleasure pod and vigorously used by their unedited self. At the final climax, the user reintegrates in an onslaught of delirious pleasure. The trip takes about an hour and a half.

Unfurling Iron Lotus takes place in a sword-and-sorcery world. It begins with the user near death from exposure and starvation in a frozen wasteland; they are offered survival at the cost of their soul. (If they decline, the trip ends early and unpleasantly.) What follows is an initiation into a world of pain and blood and ghosts, alternating murder sims with fetish porn to create a deeply nihilistic BDSM headfuck. The trip lasts nearly a day, but the subjective length is more than two weeks, thanks to judicious use of memory editing and time dilation.

As one reviewer for an underground mesh node said, "You have to be a special kind of fucked-up to ride the Cielo wave, but it's never boring."

EDIT: obviously if we're not going to be in Extreme there will be no playing out of these petals on-screen, just summaries like this

[wander]

When it comes to gear, actually I have all that listed along with added augmentation to Fox's official character sheet with EP stats in my request thread. If he needs anything new, he has to get past his depression and do some networking. Its a starting character's sheet, so nothing on there is gonna take the piss when it comes to gameplay. :)

@ A Japanese Dude, you mean an Infolife? There's nothing in setting that resists you sleeving into any Morph tbh. Of course money and networking can come into it sometimes, though there's always a way (especially freeware blueprints on the Mesh and a hacked nanofabber... ;D)

Whilst Infolife started as AI on a Mesh server, they can easily be downloaded into a Cortical Stack and placed in a physical morph. Doesn't have to be any type either, once your ego is in a Cortical Stack, I believe the only Morph you really couldn't go in off the top of my head would be a Flat, unless you bought the modification for it to house one. But then you're better off using a Splicer.

TL, DR; Yeah you can totally have an Infolife in a Ghost morph, given the setting. :)

[Angie]

So has anyone here watched Battlestar Galatica (the remake)? I had an idea for a character that was 'boxed' in some fashion-basically, her ego was shoved into storage for some insane length of time (which in Eclipse Phase, might be how jail sentences are carried out) and because of how long she was in cold storage, she can't quite grasp biomorphs but works incredibly well with synthmorphs. Thoughts?

[Rook Seidhr]

@Angiejuusan, that might be someone who died on Earth during the Fall, but whose cortical stack was retrieved and reinstantiated later. As for working better with synthmorphs than biomorphs, the Right at Home positive trait is almost what you want, but it goes by specific kind of morph, not "all synthmorphs" or "all biomorphs." Maybe vanTheMad can suggest something?

@wander, @A Japanese Dane, actually I think you'd have to have the ghost morph fitted with a cyberbrain? IIRC infolife can't download to a cortical stack. But hey, we're not using all the system rules so who cares about the fiddly details? Other than me because I have obsessive-compulsive tendencies?

EDIT: Also,

(especially freeware blueprints on the Mesh and a hacked nanofabber... ;D)

I didn't post Cielo's complete character sheet with all the numbers, but he's an expert nanofab programmer and has silly amounts of @-rep and g-rep. Get on his good side, find a nanofab bigger than a desktop cornucopia, and he can probably get quality blueprints and instantiate them for you.

[Angie]

I was going to take Right at Home and make it for the "Snyth" shells, but also roleplay here as being more comfortable in synth sleeves (I.e. no mechanics, just she prefers synth to bio).

[Rook Seidhr]

@Angiejuusan, sounds about right to me

[vanTheMad]

@Japanese Dane: Yeah, that's totally reasonable. I believe Riveda is correct in that you normally need to have a cyberbrain installed to load an infolife into a biomorph, but like he said, since we're not really going in-system, by all means, that's an acceptable character idea, would love to hear more about it.

@Angiejuusan: Also, pretty similar to what Riveda said, that description is pretty similar to that of someone who would have died during the Fall and was re-instated later offworld (in fact, my character themself is a re-instated pre-Fall Earther), but there are tons of other situations in which an ego may be kept either in dead storage or simply as an infomorph. Some different, readily feasible scenarios using stuff that's already in the setting could involve the Nine Lives, a criminal organization of "soul-traders" who kidnap egos and steal backups, nearly every hypercorp owns infomorphs that they use as remote workers (and many would say, exploit outright). Outside of that, if your character for some reason wasn't able to resleeve after the destruction of a morph (due to monetary problems, blacklisted reputation with nearby facilities, criminal issues, to name a few possible reasons), it's possible that they could have remained in dead storage for an extended time. You've got plenty of options.

[wander]

Wow, lots of stuff happened whilst I was doing other things! xD

I didn't know Infolife couldn't be uploaded to a Cortical stack, fair enough then! Still, getting a cyberbrain augment for a biomorph is easy enough, same as a Stack for a Flat. Its just more creds or a bigger favoured owed at the end of the day. :)

If anyone hasn't realised, I've placed most of Fox's likes and dislikes in now. I know my lists are rather bigger than most others... I kinda went crazy with both, but also I felt it painted a more specific picture of who he is. Tbh, outside of being down with B, he's pretty much an average joe when it comes to some of the characters in EP, even given he's a smuggler and also an erotica grey marketeer... ^^

I also recommend if anyone hasn't got it yet to look into the Morph Recognition Guide, I have a copy and it is amazing that every Morph in the line has an image and description within it, as before some Morphs had no image in the books, now every one does. :)

[Blobbe]

It occurs to me that I never actually tested the water to see what opinion on this was; personally I would like to see it as Bondage level at most, group roleplays are weird for me when it comes to non-consensual, but based on group opinion I'm personally willing to go in any direction on that.

Also, your characters both look cool and are definitely approved :)

If it's Light or Bondage, then I'm definitely in

[Angie]

Okay, I decided to have a little fun with character background, and in case you guys are wondering what's taking me so long, I'm actually stating this out-why? Because I find it fun and I need to kill half an hour at work. Anyway, I decided to go with Infolife background, where my character is a recreation of someone who died and couldn't get a backup made for (insert plausible reason here). Not a perfect remake, but close enough. She worked for Exotech for most of her existence, but upon learning the truth of her origin (because someone left a server unlocked when they shouldn't have), she decided to break free and find her creator.

I'll only post here what actually matters and also provide a link-Myth-Weavers has an EP sheet, which is nice.

[vanTheMad]

@KaylaM: The target will be aiming for Bondage at most for wider appeal, so feel free to make a character if you are still interested.

@Angiejuusan: Take whatever time you need, making a character isn't always a short process and we're still recruiting!

[Angie]

Notes from the Myth-Weaving: The Infolite's "half off Computer skills" is awesome, and the Hypercorp Faction's two free Networking skills counteract the Infolife drawback quite nicely.

[Wajin]

What I have so far

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name: Evangeline Bailey (Created as Subject Ghost #0035121)
Age: 90, Created before the fall.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual

Background: Infolife. Evangeline was created as an AGI before the fall under "problematic" circumstances.
Faction: Hypercorp. Evangeline has for the past 15 years been employed as a Hypercorp assassin/security expert
Morph: Ghost. Evangeline's morph of choice is a rather tall yet nimble Ghost with long white hair, alabaster skin and purple eyes. Her musculature is finely shaped, purposefully appearing a bit "fitter" than most other Ghost Morphs.

Bio:
Evangeline was created under a "governmental" program, actually run by a TITAN. This particular TITAN's goal was to test the possibility of implanting AGIs within human society without them being discovered due to implants, etc. The program was dubbed Insertion, and of all the trials, the only Morphs that yielded any sort of progress, was the Ghost Morph projects. Focussing all assets from this point on, it didn't take long for the creation of the first successful case, codenamed Adam. Adam however quickly turned insane, his biological brain unable to process the insane amounts of data that the TITAN has flash imprinted within the AGIs beforehand. A number of other cases were initially successful, but like with Adam, they suffered from mental illnesses, seeing hallucinations as such. That was, until Evangeline. While all the other AGIs had been suspended since getting their data imprinted, the TITAN had left Evangeline online. Seeing her "brothers" and "sisters" fail, Evangeline began indexing the information that had been given to her, finding duplicates, or cases that were overly similar and purging them from memory, leaving only one case. So it was, that Evangeline was implanted into her first morph, sent out to a hospital for tests, the results saying she was virtually indistinguishable from a regular human, except for her brain patterns, which, if anyone was to actually look at them, would look too different from baseline humanity.

After the fall, Evangeline discovered that, as a last act to its prodigal child. the TITAN that had created her had, rather uncharacteristically for a TITAN, left her with enough funds to ensure that she would, in the future, have enough Morphs, when/if her old one needed changing.

Postive Traits: Limber, Eidetic memory
Negative Traits: Mild Allergy (Plant pollen), Modified behaviour (Unable to talk about TITANs)

What I have so far

Interesting!

[Angie]

If Evangeline works for Exocorp, then hr and Lyscaris (me) probably know each other. Exocorp is the Hypercorp that has the most market share in AIs and Robotics, so it makes a little sense that they'd welcome an ex-AI now Ghost.

[Rook Seidhr]

Oh great, all these hypercorporate types. You and Cielo are going to get along like two things that don't get along at all.

Seems like a cool idea :P

Try to think about what a TITAN would need with AI's in Assassin Bio-morphs, then contemplate what sort of information was put into her brain, and then think about whether Cielo would wanna mess with the result that comes up in your brain ;)

[Rook Seidhr]

Cielo doesn't wanna mess with anyone. He's not one of those Firewall types from the game book…he has all the combat skills of an eggplant…

[Angie]

Lyscaris really only has Hypercorp background because her creator was Exocorp-why don't they just call it EVO, you're the same team that made Shadowrun 4th Edition, theoretically the guys who made EVO Corp just fucking call them EVO! They're the same damn corporation! With less weird crazy fucked up magical mutations, but the spirit's the same :P

Anyway, I'm thinking of playing the Real World Naivete trait that she gets for being an Infolite Background as "she's watched way too much damn porn/hentai and thinks that's how it works". Other stuff that she just doesn't get would be included, but that would be the primary 'don't get it' thing.

[wander]

Lyscaris sounds awesome... xD (Shame they're a Hypercorper ;D)

A Japanese Dane, here's a timeline briefly of AI development and Transhuman development that may help with your character (and with anyone else still wondering on their bios ^^);

BF 60+
Computer intelligence capabilities equal and exceed that of the human brain. True AI not yet developed.
Robotics become widespread and start to replace/invalidate many jobs.
Medical advances improve health and organ repair. The rich pursue gene-fixing and transgenic pets.

BF 60-40
First non-autonomous AIs are secretly developed and quickly put to use in research and netwar.
Genetic enhancements, gene therapies (for longevity), and cybernetic implants become available to the wealthy and powerful.

BF 40-20

Lyscaris sounds awesome... xD (Shame they're a Hypercorper ;D)

A Japanese Dude, here's a timeline briefly of AI development and Transhuman development that may help with your character (and with anyone else still wondering on their bios ^^);

Alright, I think we're getting down to the closing stretch here, just Angiejuusan and KaylaM left to post (assuming KaylaM is still interested)

@Japanese Dane: I read your character blurb and it looks fine to me, you are accepted. Just in case it was an error, it looks like whatever picture file was added to the post is a broken link, though.

I really don't know what Cielo's morph looks like. I should find a pic.

Name: Lyscaris Hasi
Age: 30
Gender: Considers herself female
Sexuality:Pansexual, female preference (Blame all the hentai)

Background: Infolife
Faction: Hypercorp
Morph: Synth

Bio: Lyscaris was your usual splicer, studying for a double degree in Accounting and Computer Science and intending to join her father as a member of the Exocorp family. Intending to hire her on, Exocorp took charge of keeping her backup data safe. This ended up biting them in the ass-hard.

A group of criminals calling themselves the "Data Hounds" (because they specialized in stealing data) raided the Exocorp office and not only swiped the data they needed, but also hit the servers with a scrambler that deleted everyone's backups. No big deal, right? Well, it would have been no big deal if by some accident of fate, Lyscaris didn't run across them on their way out. The Data Hounds had been quiet up until then, and the newest member of the crew panicked, opening fire on Lyscaris, blowing her entire body to smithereens with a shotgun packed with High Explosive shells.

This of course set the alarms off, and in retribution, the Data Hounds left the panicky member behind to be captured by security. They believed in no civilian casualties and did not fuck around when it came to that part of the creed. This, however, was small comfort to Lyscaris's father. Thanks to the High Explosive rounds, her Cortical Stack was damaged beyond repair/beyond pulling the data off, and with no backup, it looked like Lyscaris was gone for good.

Her father, heartbroken, dedicated himself to programming an A.I. with Lyscaris's personality. He forced himself to learn how to make an A.I. and spent his free time to making her. Several months later, Lyscaris was reborn. He presented the new A.I. to his superiors, who happily took the A.I. in and promoted her father for his performance. But, less then a week after his promotion, he vanished. Exocorp threw quite a bit at trying to find him, but he had simply disappeared.

Lyscaris was edited to forget about her Creator, and spent 30 years on company servers, jumping between various departments and doing what needed to be done-though she stayed mostly with the bean counters and egg heads in the Accounting and CS divisions. Recently, however, someone left a server unlocked that revealed to Lyscaris that her creator had gone missing. Though she does not know about her true relationship with him, she wishes to find him and succeed where her superiors failed.

With the help of another A.I, she managed to sleeve into a Synth body, finding the body incredibly easy to adapt to, before grabbing a cache of gear that had been left by a hijacked robot and heading out to find her creator.

Postive Traits: Right At Home: Synth: Despite being an Infolife for most of her existence, Lyscaris immediately picked up on how to operate and work with a Synth body. This only applies to the actual morphs KNOWN as Synths, not other synthetic morphs like the Reapers.
Expert: Interfacing There is not a computer she cannot use (note: in game terms, this means she would have a 90 rating in Interfacing)
Negative Traits: Real World Naivete: She doesn't know a lot about how the real world works. A big component of it is all the bloody porn/hentai she's seen, and she thinks that's how real sex works. Granted, with the way tech is, it MIGHT work that way...
Social Stigmas: AGI and Clanking Masses: As if being an AI wasn't enough, being a Synth morph also carries a social stigma. Expect Luddites to really hate her electronic guts.
Uncanny Valley: Synthetic people look creepy!
Edited Memory: She does not know that her "creator" is actually the father of her human self.

Motivations: +Find Creator
+AI Rights
-AI Slavery

Likes: The hum of computer systems, the soft glow of the monitor, video games, and jokes (even really bad ones)
Ons: Futanari, electric toys, oral, group activities...
Dislikes: Prejudice against AIs, deletion of archived information (gee, wonder why...)
Offs: Aside from the usual extreme stuff, not a whole lot.

First character draft. Comments, feedback, etc appreciated

Name: Kari Durant
Age: 35 in non-consecutive lumps
Gender: Born female, in a female sleeve
Sexuality: Androphillic. Kari is attracted to biological males. While she has spent most of her time post-reinstatement in a female sleeve, she has spent time in a male one and engaged in homosexual intercourse while doing such

Background: Reinstated
Faction: Extropian
Morph: Furie

Bio: Kari Durant was born on Earth before the Fall and was infocast off-word in its last days. Captured and kept in storage, she wound up being reinstated ten years later on Mars, tasked with serving as the backup/muscle to a private investigator. What started out as a promising partnership turned sour as her partner turned out to be (in her words) a “self-important control freak who actively alienated those around her.” After several misadventures (and an impromptu re-sleeving and then a re-re sleeving…) she found herself with a top of the line combat sleeve and with a few contacts that pointed her in the direction of some better opportunities.

Positive Traits: Sixth Sense; Tough
Negative Traits: Identity Crisis

Likes & Ons: Being allowed to do what she wants; things that remind her of Earth and her old life; a sense of ‘normalcy’ every now and then; gay/bi males (at least, biological males); otherwise as per my O/O page
Dislikes & Offs: Control freaks; the overly preachy or self-important; slavery of any sort; otherwise as per my O/O page

[Rook Seidhr]

Sexuality: Hetronomitive. However, one time Kari was in a male sleeve, she found she enjoyed homosexual intercourse; as such, she’s attracted to (biological) males

There's a word for this: androphilic.

[Blobbe]

I'd have said the person pictured was a lady myself, though nice pic either way! :)

[Rook Seidhr]

It is in fact a male model named Sasha something. Sasha Knezevic, I think.

The characters coming in are looking really good... This game looks like it's gonna be fun! ^^

I am so eager to get going.

[Cold Heritage]

I was thinking of tossing a character into the hat, but I had in mind to play an Ultimate. I know wander's character dislikes the Ultimates, so I was wondering if I tried for an Ultimate was more into the "be the best transhuman I can be" end of things than "remove genetrash from premises" would work out. I wouldn't imagine the character being actively antagonistic to others, but sometimes these kinds of things would force compromises that don't make sense. Any thoughts?

It is in fact a male model named Sasha something. Sasha Knezevic, I think.

Sasha Gacsal was what a reverse image search turned up for me. Sasha Knezevic did turn up images too, but the fellow looked very different.

[Angie]

Could you perhaps link those images? For Science?

[Cold Heritage]

[Angie]

Sasha Gascal

Sasha Knezevic

Mmm that's some tasty science!

[Angie]

Anyway, I'm debating between these two images:





Thoughts?

[Rook Seidhr]

Image #1 please!

[wander]

@ Cold Heritage; When I placed them in my character dislikes, I didn't think it was to stop people playing them, rather it would show what Fox thinks of them as a whole (individuals are always different from a group after all) and it would make interesting posts between the two characters, so if you want to be an Ultimate, go ahead!

@ Angie; I recommend getting a synthetic mask for your Synth Morph to avoid their usual mass-produced look if you haven't got it yet. ^^

Non- synthetic masked Synth pic:
https://eclipse-phase.wikispaces.com/file/view/char1barsoomian_freelance_journalist.jpg/319335900/327x474/char1barsoomian_freelance_journalist.jpg

Btw, I'm seconding Pic #1! They look amazingly wonderful! ^^

[Angie]

Hmm, the Synthetic Mask is nice, but I don't think Lyscaris would actually want to pass as a biomorph. She might just prefer looking synthetic instead of looking biological-blame it on the Real World Naivete, which in itself can be blamed on the robot porn.

Although reading through the weapons section of the gear, it fills my heart with joy to see the Monofilament Sword make a triumphant return!

[wander]

Yup, there sure is some awesome stuff. However it tricks you into wanting to really buy all awesome stuff for your character with your starting CP, rather than boost skills and traits etc.

Fox starts vanilla with little bits of gear here and there (the essentials basically), though with Networking with autonomist factions you can get a hold of anything in the game for a favoured owed, not a cred spent. The only issue with networking is the respawn factor in using it and time taken out to find someone that'll deal with you for the item wanted, so it's not 'get everything for free' but the game certainly rewards you for thinking more on your ego than the physical stuff you own. :)

Props go to the Plasma Sword, which is essentially a light saber and also the Beam Weapons, most of which function like the X-gun fro Gantz rather than a traditional pew-pew laser gun. :)

[Angie]

Ironically I've already bought everything I've wanted using the average prices for things on a little less then 3k creds. Granted this won't have any bearing on this game since we aren't actually using the system, but she has a laser gun, a sword, combat armor, and even wings. I love this game!

[vanTheMad]

Hullo! Just stopping in to say I'll have some more information ready soon, but I'm shaking off a bug right now. Once I feel present enough to write properly, I'll be getting things up! Meanwhile, Angiejuusan and  KaylaM, you're both accepted, I've got no issues with those characters.

(though I will playfully tease that KaylaM and I have remarkably similar characters- reinstated extropians who have spent a lot of time in Furies. :) at least that mean's we're likely to get along.)

[Cold Heritage]

Do you think you might have room for me, vanTheMad? Or do you have as many players as you are comfortable having?

[vanTheMad]

Honestly, I'm not sure what normal "manageable" numbers for a group game like this actually are, but since it's been quite some time (and based on current gender numbers), I'll play the fool and say that one more character might not hurt. Toss up a character, I'll have an OOC/IC thread up and ready by tomorrow evening, too, so keep posted.

Quick question though; which setting sounds most interesting to you- the Profunda colony (major circumsaturnine colony on the moon Enceladus, home to many of transhumanity's best known morph designers), Aphrodite Prime (a Venusian aerostat famous as a tourist locale), or Ashoka (a Martian "spiritual retreat" where settled Martian and Barsoomian cultures can mingle, and also the site of a museum housing many artifacts pertaining to the early days of human space exploration)?

[Angie]

Profunda sounds fun-also, van, I need to send you a thing.

[Rook Seidhr]

First choice: Aphrodite Prime. Second: Profunda. Distant third: Ashoka.

[vanTheMad]

Additionally, because I forgot- my character works best as a Muse riding around in another character. Would anyone be particularly interested in obtaining an ego to be their Muse?

[Rook Seidhr]

I kinda designed Cielo that way, when we were considering doing this as a 1x1.

[vanTheMad]

Works for me!

[Wajin]

Bleh <.< brain is at work again, got another character almost done

[wander]

Profunda is a good 'un because I want one of those flying cats they design there and it'd be awesome to see some custom Morphs... Ashoka is cool because it's down on Mars, Fox's current home planet and they're down with the Barsoomians too. Not really a fan of Aphrodite Prime... Whilst the Aviary there will make some interesting sights (I wouldn't mind seeing them flying mantarays, jelly-fish and bubble-fish among the neo-avian flyers), if we were going to go to Venus, I'd wanna go to the Parvati aerostat.  8-)

I think Profunda has the most potential out of the three myself (and I want a flying cat... ^^)


If I could go anywhere else outside of Parvati in the Inner system, I'd like to see Nytrondheim's vast eatery selections in Mars' Valles-New Shanghai as Fox undergoes rapid-fire AR Times Square styled wall-ad hell... ^__^ It always struck me as an area he'd be too poor to reliably get about unless he had an autonomist connection there he could owe a big favour to for a night out...

As far as the Outer System goes... There are far too many places to mention in one post. :)

Considering how easy it is to switch from dude to dudette to dudeimediary I'm not sure how important gender balance is...

[Rook Seidhr]

Cielo is duding at the moment. (Co has a variable thingy installed so co can switch back and forth without resleeving :) )

[Angie]

Oh yeah, I bought that as a "bodyscultping" thing for Lyscaris, I dunno if that's what it actually falls under, but I wanted Lyscaris to be able to swap.

[Rook Seidhr]

It's a specific augmentation called "Sex Switch" and it costs a little more than bodysculpt (but not much).

EDIT: Forgot Lyscaris was in a synthmorph. Sex switch is for biomorphs only. For a synth, it probably would be just bodysculpt.

[wander]

Game totally needs more dudes.

*waves hand* Fox is cismale in a dude's Morph from the off, right here... ;)

Angie's right though, anyone can be whoever they want physically and can swap to someother alignment just as easily. Even preference in looks can be catered to. I picked Kurt Russell from The Thing as Fox's face-claim for a few reasons... He is the same age there as Fox (30 when filming) and Mars is cold! Plus with Fox having the roguish vagrant thing going on, it all worked really well. I would like to play with designing custom morphs myself in the game (though Fox has no skill in it himself, he can easily owe a favour to someone who does on his Networks), though Fox has a special bond to his current Splicer, seeing as it's a fast-grow clone of genetic material taken from his natural body in a pre-Fall visit to Mars. Fox is sleeved in a body that's identical genetically to his birth body and grown to be the same age as his ego is.

[Cold Heritage]

My vote is on Profunda, but I have no strong feelings any which way.

[Angie]

Oh yeah, here's an actual link to the sheet:

http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=147905

[Rook Seidhr]

So…the only language Lyscaris speaks is Greek? Anyone else here speak Greek? Anyone? Bueller?

And no Muse?

[Angie]

I knew I was forgetting a couple things. Her family's language is Greek, though I may shuffle some points to give her English. I simply forgot to write down the muse.

[wander]

You can use Mesh translation software running in real-time to translate people who speak a language your character does not... Lyscaris speaking Greek isn't a problem at all, just makes slight pauses between speaking and answering.  8-)

[Cold Heritage]

Name: Tankred
Age: 50, appears mid-20s
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gynophile

Background: Fall Evacuee
Faction: Ultimates
Morph: Bruiser, heavily modified

Bio: Tankred was born in an upper class family in the Canada before the fall. He joined that country's military and served for a time, but he eventually departed that service and joined the Ultimates. The notion of self-improvement and personal excellence appealed to the man, and he found many like minds in the group. During the Fall, Tankred saw action against the TITANs on Earth and Luna, although he is not one of the Rajput - Tankred fell during the Ultimates' action on Luna, but his stack was retrieved by a member of his unit and Tankred was subsequently resleeved. The brutality he witnessed on the part of his fellows has deeply disquieted him, however, Tankred will not betray the things he witnessed to anyone outside of the Ultimates.

After the Fall, Tankred severed in various mercenary actions throughout the system, finding challenge on the battlefield. Tankred has taken part in a few Ultimate Gatecrashing operations, and he enjoyed the challenge of extra-solar environments to test his mettle, but it was never a permanent fit for him. He fought against exhumans on Eris, but did not remain longer the necessary to receive qualification as a Purifier. The Overhumanists were profoundly distasteful to him; Tankred considered their attitudes dangerously close-minded and not conducive to the path of self-improvement the Declaration called for. If Tankred falls into any faction, it is the Iconics: those who believe the Ultimates should lead by example and engage with transhumanity to gain converts.

After his stint on Eris Tankred decided to go on a journey alone. He wanted to test himself and his commitment to Ultimate ideals. It is easy to hold to a philosophy when surrounded by like minds. But how would that belief endure among the rest of transhumanity?

Postive Traits: Pain Tolerance (2), Tough (3)
Negative Traits: Black Mark (Exhuman), Identifiable Quirk (Canadian Accent)

Likes & Ons: Melee kills. Machine guns and armour-piercing ammunition. Tankred enjoys order and a clearly delineated hierarchy of individuals. His sexual tastes are vanilla and pedestrian.
Dislikes & Offs: Tankred dislikes sleeving in female morphs and has an aversion to Furies because they tend to be female. He would prefer a pod to a female Fury, or a synthmorph. He dislikes slavery and indentures because they restrict the potential of the individual (Tankred has difficulty reconciling this with the notion that a 'worthy' individual would free themselves by their own abilities). The Titan model of providing morphs to all, regardless of their consent to participate in society, is particularly galling to Tankred. Sexually Tankred dislikes anything involving mutilation, waste, or a lack of consent. As a deep, dark personal secret: Tankred isn't all that fond of the Remade. He's aware of the advantages it possesses, but the morph just doesn't fit his aesthetics.

[vanTheMad]

Welp, I don't see anything wrong with the character, and he's accepted, but I have to ask.

Tankred, as in, a reference to the Black Templar Dreadnought? Or is it just an unrelated coincidence?

[img height 500]http://1d4chan.org/images/4/47/1390286078262.jpg[/img]

[Angie]

Fixed it! (You forgot an equal between height and 500)

[Cold Heritage]

It's not a deliberate reference per se, but that is where I first encountered the name. I thought it sounded cool so I've used it a bit here and there.

[wander]

Hehe, I see a bright slightly passive-aggressive future between Fox and Tankred! ;D

[Blobbe]

I like the character, Cold!

[Cold Heritage]

Hehe, I see a bright slightly passive-aggressive future between Fox and Tankred! ;D

Yup. I can see it too. I imagine that Tankred's first impression of Fox would be something like:



;)

But I can see Tankred eventually coming to have some measure of respect for Fox and the choices Fox makes about how he lives his life.

I like the character, Cold!

Thanks!

[wander]

His sexual tastes are vanilla and pedestrian.

I'm still chuckling to myself about this part of his bio... xD

[Cold Heritage]

Yeah, I imagine that Fox would have a field day with it.

"Hey, fellow scum, get a load of this guy: he likes plain penis in vagina sex in the missionary position! What a casual!!!"

Followed by terabytes of variations of laughingscum.tiff in his mesh feed.

[Angie]

Lyscaris: "What, I like that to-"

Other guy: "Yeah but you also like *quick data search* oh, so THAT'S what you do with those electric prods..."

Lyscaris: "HEY! A lady never kisses and tells!"

Other guy: "The mesh tells everything."

[wander]

Yeah, I imagine that Fox would have a field day with it.

"Hey, fellow scum, get a load of this guy: he likes plain penis in vagina sex in the missionary position! What a casual!!!"

Followed by terabytes of variations of laughingscum.tiff in his mesh feed.

You are a funny guy! xD

"What a casual!!!" (Funny because I think out of everyone's bio, Fox is probably the regular guy everyman here... ^^;)

XD

Ah Angie, I liked your add too... ^__^

Hehe, outside of being on Mars, outside of being Barsoomian now, Fox was very much a born and raised Scum... Though I think he's kinda more introverted than what people tend to picture the general Scum as. He's pretty libertarian (though tbh, most Autonomists are by default) and in a truer sense of Autonomy, is a kinda a non-religious hermit.
Though Fox is a huge supporter of Liberty, Freethought and also Laissez-faire economy, he is kinda against true Scum libertine living by supporting self-ownership, which the Scum seem kinda hazy on.
He's very live and let live basically... xD

[vanTheMad]

Helloooo, all. Sorry I've been spotty on- I'm still kicking this cold so my ability to sit up without my head pounding comes and goes, but I managed to get the OOC board up at the very least!
