Cybernetics, Bio-mods, & Cloning | LANCER

Ойындар

Hi hello, so let's move off the beaten path of factions for a time and discuss the humans of the far future. Namely how weird you can make them. You've got full liberty to have "humans now, but in space" or "humans are practically aliens" within what's presented in the book. Cybernetics and a whole movement of androidism for your machine cultists and human mind over AI to the bitter end. Bio-mods for biological monsters, physical fashion trends as easy to follow as visiting a kiosk, and that other thing we know has been done. Cloning for all the existential and moral questions of personhood and what makes us human, as well as screw-ups currently inherent in the process. Personally with SSC being one of the big four, I enjoy having NPCs show some of the extremes of this.

    I once made a character with an "ontological" birth defect for a friend. See, he had just become a new dad and had a crazy schedule so he was more likely to miss sessions that attend for the forseeable future. So, I made his character a Lich pilot "who technically did not exist as a countable noun." There was always "some Ted" around, and we were always happy when "a proponderance of Ted" could actually fight beside us. And thank's to the Lich's survivability, we got to make the "only mostly dead" joke from the Princess Bride almost constantly.

But i feel its important to inform that the subjective years cosmopolitans can experience is insane, especially if they constantly travel around alot near the speed of light, since those cosmopolitans experience 1 of their subjective years to 10 real space years (the core book even references this). Given the opportunity for PC's to encounter human being over 1000 years of age in real time, which would be one hell of an interaction.

    Build a mech that's kind of junky, but has the ejection system that is a smaller mech of size 1/2. Then kit that smaller one out to the max. For bonus fun: Describe the size 1-3 mech as seemingly heavily armored, but many of it's vital components are facing outwards instead of inwards, especially when it comes to the cockpit. Use a little remote to do things when not in your mech. Wait until something manages to down the mech and you eject from it. As the smaller inner mech ripping it's way free, starting from a weakness from the damage the enemy did. Complete with ripping the gun free of it's mounting to use for yourself, if you have the same weapon on both. (IIRC that 1/2 suit has one main mounting.)

    My lancer was born on a core world but when she grew up and saw the chaos that was going on in the orian arm she got out there into cosmopolitan space to use her medical training where it was needed SSC ended up hiring her to a space port that offered full repairs for lancers (both in mech and body) she was of course hired for her excellent medical talent ~~and rare metropolitan genetics~~ I ended up using one of the base character arts from the book who has a cybernetic arm And i feel she fits the example you gave in the video of modified arms and eyes for more precise surgery Anyway she eventually became well known enough among the lancers of the station that SSC sponsored her with an orchis to become a lancer herself she wears the stations crest on her sheild (a kitsune fox) Becoming Callsign: DOC (i know very original for my first character)

    My first Lancer was an advanced HA flash clone, or a "slow flash" clone, rather. The idea being that they "take their time" hammering out the kinks and they don't grow them quite as fast or sloppy. They take care in their upbringing and social training to ensure the best assassins they can churn out in a reasonable pace, as a long term investment. On a mission in his backstory, J-27 got a taste of freedom, family, and love while integrating into the network of a rebellion run by his new gf's dad. Things went sideways, mission accomplished since gf's dad exploded regardless, and J-27 was assumed kia. Now he's got a new lease on life and is trying to figure out what normal people do with all this free time, other than fight in giant robots that is.

    My favourite character idea for Lancer is Cybrids and Bioderms from the Metaltech franchise -- If it's possible to upload minds to and from different bodies, then it should be elementary that an entire mind could be built neuron-by-neuron from scratch and installed in a fully organic body, a cyborg, an android, or a mech. The idea of a character with zero existial angest about being military surplus just amuses me for some reason. "Dave, my brain is an SSD in a titanium case. Just stomp open my head and plug the yellow cable into the serial port in my mech. I'll be fine."

    I took Technophile and made my pilot a super soldier from an experimental program that cloned him from the genetic make up of a few select soldiers and researchers, while at the same time they were trying to craft a new nhp to grow along with him built from coding and programs of other NHPs and AIs they had in their R&D department. Ra made an appearance and shut down the program and very few of the resulting clones were left alive but the ones that survived had cybernetic implants with the nhp inside of them. The mech he is running is being built up to be a hydra and run a bunch of drones and nexus weapons as well as having two NHPs. Dropping drones with 15 hp and just taking over entire zones with nexus and turrets and barricades. William Black and his mech Black Cloud.

    I once played a lancer that used to be a journeyman gladiatorial derby pilot. They piloted a modified Charrioteer frame, and with most derbies they'd lose a piece of themselves, eventually leading to them being an android with only their brain left as organic matter. I only got to play them once because scheduling decided to rear its bastard head. I didn't get much of a chance to do any in-character role-playing either, but it was a fun time.

    A robonihilist integrated with a Barbarossa sounds like a mix of ammusing and scary (and well, someone literally integrating with Balor sounds... like a norm) And well, as someone looking to play Lancer- I thought of playing a guy who has a "black box" and set of jurnals to pass on to their either clone or cyborg, taking quite a lot of inspirations from Exos in Destiny 2 and cycles of Morgan Yu in Pray 2016 And well.... you are giving me more ideas to have another character working like that Tabernacle mech drawn by Keith Thompson (tldr: quadruplegic integrated within a mechsuit) or outright making a fkin CRAVER (because I like their design, and having four arms, plus I like the ammount of Craver images you used here)

    My first idea for a Lancer character was a ship crew member dealing with subjective time issues. Relativistic effects mean you have about a ten to one ratio of passage, So basically he would stop at a planet every few years and meet the adult grandchildren of those he met on the last visit. In turn he ran into this existential crisis of how nobody tells their kids about this one random guy you saw for three days at a space port, and thus he was a living ghost whom no one knew aside from others on the crew. After an accident kills a few of his friends, he became a mech pilot to build a legend so that there would actually people who remember him. (And as a bit of humor, his name was Locke, so he called his mech "keymaster". If I ever actually play Lancer, chances are he'll end up with a Horus Lich for even more time tom-foolery)

    Looking to play a game sometime in the next few months. Seems like the idea for the game is that we're all gonna be on a joint venture from different factions to find something. Had an idea for a character that was a left over from the scientists on Demios during the event and was picked up by SSC. Who had made them into esentially a living NHP casket but is completely unware of any of that and just believes they are a long time agent for SSC dealing mostly in Cyber Security. Will definitely be using this video as a reference for some of the mods that SSC slapped into them.

    one of the lancer campaigns ive played in was mostly about the illegal flash clome trade, the pcs were all (through various means) being sold by a black market body broker to people who are now making them do various missions for ambiguous reasons my character probably has it among the worst, being not really a proper person but a flash clone being stored by someone else as a "backup" that accidentally got woken up during a serious power outage at the facility, and as a result having a pretty messed up subjectivity imprint held together mostly by the nhp she's constantly bridged with (an idea inspired by the weird lore from long rim about horizon figuring out how to have non-insane unshackled nhps by bridging them woth two people)

    If you haven't decided to already, I think you should consider doing a quick overview of the GMS stuff. I guess it might come up with Everest in this series? But I feel you should maybe do it... Earlier? Because the quicker people can get a quick video for all of the stuff at the start of getting into the system, the better. It's not like it fits into the four companies you have up there, as you go through the list, and it's technically not really going alphabetically, so I don't entirely know where it'd fit in as the list goes on... I just think it'd be nice for players to be able to have a nice video for their very first session, before they get any license levels. And I just want to hear you talk about the Cyclone rifle.

    The genetic engineering and cybernetics reminds me of Knights of Sidonia. While I think only one character has cybernetics (an arm and a leg,) the genetic engineering and bio-tech is very common and can get pretty wild at times. It's an interesting look at long-term (1000+ years) travel on a generation ship.

    Now, I had a kind of an interesting Lancer. Because he did get decorped, but it was not a "true" decorp, since the continuity was not held, and thus on the other side was a complete mess of inhuman. After a long process of rebuilding he ended up as a gestalt consciousness of a subjectivity-overridden clone and two NHPs you usually get from talents. Plsying that was... An experience hard to forget, since there was also a Lich licence, and they can hack time flow ten thousand ways and then some. And then there was DIDYMOS... Thank RA ir was play-by-post textual RP, because you can't voice DIDYMOS properly. Because that NHP was talking in two voices two different lines at the same time. And I had to build his sentences that both reading each line and alternating phrases made sense.

    Ironically my own mecha-pilot OC, a cyborg catgirl... after watching this video I don't think she'd be able to be imported to Lancer. Short version is she received a near-total cyborg conversion at about the age of 5 (social/economic issues meant her parents had to take a hard bargain to get her medical care at all). Between frequent surgeries to replace cybernetics she's outgrown, the absolute thorough nature of said cybernetics, and being ostracized by her peers for being "a talking calculator", she becomes quite desperate for the validation of her humanity. Validation eventually she find in the cockpit of a mech as a "gladiator," fighting for the entertainment of others and signing autographs from fans. Just... it sounds like cybernetics in Lancer are a bit too commonplace for her to be picked on by her classmates, and genetic modifications too commonplace for such an extreme medical regimen necessary.

    One of the fantastic things about the Diaspora is it's many, many, many, many, many..................many worlds. All of which can range widely from each other. On a union Core World the character might be unlikely, but a Diasporan? Works totally fine. Core worlds are were cybernetics are super casual and pervasive, Diasporan they can be as well or extremely rare, loved or hated, new or old. Diasporan worlds are the settings fill in the blank on the galactic map.

    At sixty, I am certain that I could never have properly "played" a sixty year-old when I was twenty-five. Player "age" may matter in their possessions/talents/knowledge, but I would get really unconfortable being in a room with a twenty-something trying to be a thousand year-old super-wise being. That just can't go well, and it puts all the players in an awkward spot unless you're all playing it for camp (by Vektron!).
