I recently found this site and looked around a bit. I liked what I saw and starting thinking up some stuff. After a good hour or so of brainstorming (and a lot of pacing) I decided to join up and ask some questions.
Basically, I'm wanting to know if it would be alright for me to add a bit to the universe...or try, at least. I don't *think* anything I have in mind would be conflicting, but truthfully I have no idea until someone tells me one way or another.
I'd like to write up some lore before I actually make my own character in order to help me really get into the "groove" of this universe.
The things I'm wanting to add, without actually posting it all up here would be...
1. A new race(?), though I can't really call it a race...basically a breed of android called a "Relic" which has recieved the soul of a Human/Nepleslian very early on in the years of such technology (whether it is Human or Nepleslian would depend largely upon how far back the technology goes. If it's too recent, then this idea and subsequentially all the ones that follow are no good...hence my posting this rather than just going ahead and writing up all the lore ;P ).
2. Provided that Relics can exist, the second idea would a small faction that opperates for the good of itself. Though likely mistaken as space pirates or somesuch by many, piracy would not be the only thing they would be concerned with. This group would be lead by a Soul-Reinitialized Relic, which bring me to idea 3.
3. Soul-Reinitialization. Due to the primitive nature of the early soul copying technology from "flesh to steel" as it were, a common (and defining) characteristic of Relics would be that their souls are rather...diminished. The act very cold and efficient, but at times still show signs of a soul, though these cases are insignificant and rare. Because of this, a technology has been developed to "correct" this. The mechanics of the process or mysterious, but it is apparent to all that know of it that it's a dangerous procedure. Having only a 40% success rate, another 40% suffer from Soul Rejection and subsequent Soul Deletion, resulting in death. The other 20% is a compilation of all of the other problems taht have been experienced which are all related to souls having complications with the process. Results of this can range anywhere from the process forcibly re-formatting the Relic's personality to causing the Relic to go berserk.
4. A new NPC, or PC if someone would like to play him: The Relic leader of the above organization.
5. A rather archaic looking ship used by the above organization. However, the old look of the ship is rather deceptive, as all of its systems are state-of-the-art (or better due to on-board developers, if such a thing is allowed).
Well, I think that pretty much a full summary of everything I came up with. If someone with some sort of authority gives me the go-ahead, I'll start writing it all up soon, drawing pictures, etc.
