The Archandroid
NPCs  (Major)   (Technical)
Scrasamax's comment on 2012-09-19 09:13 AM
The difference between surrogacy and remote control is the difference between 'I walk forward' and 'I tell the unit to walk forward'.

Android heads are the same size as human heads. Most are fitted with Exo-Cranial cyberdecks to cover the hardware requirements. If I was an L/AISC and wanted my archandroid to have more computing power, I would have it customized to carry more electronics hardware in the torso, rather than carry it's brain in a purse.

L/AISC consciousness is similar to how you describe but not quite. There is a central intellect, but given it's size and ability to multi-task it basically has multiple personas and such. As for the archandroid, to use the organ metaphor, the android itself is no more self aware than one of our fingers. Go to Comment
Avian Crossbow
Items  (Ranged Weapons)   (Magical)
Scrasamax's comment on 2010-06-26 07:21 AM
I would like this item better if it were a regular blow, and not a crossbow. The arrows are interesting, though a few leave me cold. I dont care very much for the owl arrows or the hummingbird arrows. Still, all in all, a good submission. As for helping you with a bird religion, you might want to put that in the Sagely Advice area of the forum Go to Comment

Well, from a compositional perspective this is not a bad submission. There is plenty of detail, and the majority of the bases have been covered. The subject matter is going to be provocative, but that is probably the intent. If the intent was to be provocative, I think it needs to go further into the matter. Why do they milk humans? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to milk cattle or some other herbivore ruminant? The amount of milk produced is decidedly greater that what a human can produce. What do they do with the gathered milk? Drink it like whiskey, make tiny cheeses out of it? Do they eat humans, use human vellum to make their scrolls and books?

1. Sometimes they got bored and would crucify people on wooden Xs instead, or they would be crucified upside down.

2. Vlad's main victims were the Muslims who raised him (leaders traded sons in a peace deal) and he was a known defender of Christianity.

3. Bamboo isn't horribly mysterious, it grows all sorts of places, but most famously in China and Japan. Technically a grass, it can grow up to a foot a day in favorable conditions.

And filthy organics have a whole lexicon of anti seibertronian slurs, like toaster, tin skin, shiny, etc.

Screw off you damned dirty toaster.

Thats an excellent visual, but instead of being isolated to one Tokyo? district, there are major Ko girl gangs in most major cities of the Pacific Rim Coalition, especially Nippon and Republic of California. The overall flavor and color palletes change, but a London Ko girl is fundamentally the same as a Beijing, New York, or Mexico City Ko girl

If you ever figure out how women, especially fashion conscious women sort themselves out into a pecking order, you will be a far wiser man than many of us. Go to Comment

You might blow your O-ring and spend the rest of your life pulling weeds in a grove of tumble melon trees

I like the idea that the longer amount of time a divine one/god spends on the mortal plane their power is weakened. Would the inverse be true, if a mortal were to spend long enough in the divine realm would they increase in power until they were divine ones themselves? Go to Comment
