The Anima System is a new tech designed to progress the NDC's culture and military goals - namely, we want more people in mechs, armors, etc, and we want to make them feel cool doing it. That includes the NDC's civilians, who will gradually start using this more and more in their daily lives. There's a lot of prose for fluff and RP considerations, so here's the basic overview.
The Anima System has these distinguishing features:
Thanks in advance!
The Anima System has these distinguishing features:
- Allows a user to 'possess' a machine and control it as though it were their natural body
- Can be used to perform body transfers, though with a handful of catches and a longer timeline than other similar systems
- Users can become trapped in their machines if they spend too long in them or become 'disinterested' in their original, organic body
- If a machine being possessed by a user is sufficiently destroyed, the user dies permanently
- In general, it takes one feature from the original Geist and makes it into a broader, more accessible system that should be balanced and fun for players
- It ret-cons how easily a user can use the original Geist to take control of vehicles (it's harder now for most people)
- It transfers most users to using the Anima System for 'possessing' machines, which has more drawbacks than the original, but is more accessible
- Makes the installation of the Geist much easier, so that it can be widespread in the population and we can deal with all the pros and cons of that
- Has a Civilian-specific setting that places greater limits on the use of the Geist, but still allows users to possess certain things (like construction mechs!)
Thanks in advance!
