So question, when it comes to levels and stats and such what is the cap that we can go to?

Ye. While every factory can be expected to be able to produce their own minions, having a dedicated minion factory means we can focus more of our resources and duties while healing minion production off to another factory. And if we want to do more intricate upgrades to our minions, we can use your factory's resources instead of our own.
This can also result in our overseers making minions who utilize resources that our factories don't specialize in. People could start having their own cybernetic minions instead of just Tungsten's skeletons. Or people could use insectoids similar to what Gamma has. So on and so forth.

There are some bit that I couldn't finish either because of one thing or another, but I know that I may need some help brainstorming some abilities, spells and such. But here's what I got so far.
Name: Mindzol Del
Age:He has never tracked his age.
Gender: Male
Factory and Functionality:
The Workshop is rather simple in design and function. A large workshop with several tools and supplies needed to tinker and create minions. While this function can be found in several other factories, the entire factory is dedicated to the creation of minions. The right tool for the job. In the center of the room there is a central platform where everything from the conceptualized design to the final product appears. This factory is special to Mindzol, not only because he is the Overseer, but because he was created in this very chamber by his creator, BrknBem22. This is where the Originators, as Mindzol calls them, built and conceptualized their creations for the rest of the guild. Beyond the workshop itself is a testing ground that isn’t anything
Appearance:
Mindzol is amorphous by nature so his size and stature can change on a whim. While going about his day to day tasks for the guild and the Workshop, he shapes himself to be what he assumes is normal height, slight flowing pseudopods that resemble hair, and a rather dashing looking vest and gloves (that he barely manages to keep on.) On the other hand, should things require him to become more “proactive” in his approach to handling a situation he takes on his true form. A dark glooping mass with just enough of a humanoid shape to recognize. His eyes become a sickly glowing yellow that shine where the approximation of his head should be and any visible mouth section is completely gone.
Personality:
Mindzol is an eclectic mix of personality traits as his creator before him. On the surface he is a very cordial creature with decent social skills and an aptitude for understanding those around him. When he works in the Workshop he becomes very erratic, quickly sloshing from place to place grabbing ingredients and components with his speech becoming very jumbled and nonsensical. He dotes over his creations and treats them all like children to an extent but has also been known to suddenly lose his temper when they don’t work as intended only to come back and coddle them again. There have been times when Mindzol completely loses his cognitive functions and falls back into his monstrous tendencies, but these moments really only come when hasn’t eaten in some time or loses himself in anger.
Creator:
![]()
BrknBem22, or simply Bem to most, was a creative player who liked to tinker with the minion system in YGGDRASIL trying to find the most niche problem and tried to make a minion for it. Her Workshop became a hotspot in the guild with many members coming to play around and tinker with different builds for minions. She had a particular fascination with slimes and was determined to show that they were more than cannon fodder.

Alright, I better put this in a hider, 'cause I'm a wordy sonnuva bitch...
Alright, I better put this in a hider, 'cause I'm a wordy sonnuva bitch...
I don't have anything wrong with Mindzol and the Workshop functioning as a primarily Support Role, however, Infactorium held 5th Place consistently YGGDRASIL Online's Guild vs Guild for the Valkyrie Downfall expansion, so each Factory was fully expected to participate in combat, at some point, with its Creator and Overseer and whatever minions.
So, I would suggest defining how The Workshop defended itself, whether that be with a single powerful Overseer like the Cormac or MinMaxine, a highly capable Overseer with a handful of Elites for support like Mae and her Kitchen Staff or Levia and her Slimes, or an extremely specialized Overseer with tons of Fodder Support like Tungsten or Gamma.
If I had to offer a direction to start in, I would say, a mixture of Levia and Gamma is a good one; slime creatures with a heavily lend on biological evolution base on their breed.
Another thing, I would tighten up exactly what The Workshop does - its purpose, while understandable, is a little vague, as well. Again, it's just the nature of things overlapping in a Guild Hall of 60, but it does draw a little from everywhere, without an expressly unique drive of its own.
Every Factory has the potential to create "minions," - a catch-all phrase for your Factory's "production item", which used to have an actual in-universe cost - used to be an actual CS sheet you had to make a submit, but I trust my cast to be reasonable and understand the limitation of the story and setting.
Back to the point, though, just "making minions" is what everyone does:
Cormac makes weapons and armor to outfit the Guild.
Mae makes food to buff the Guild and Units.
Gamma and Tungsten both make Combat and Support Units, one biological and one technological, and their own internal weapons and armors, as well.
Levia makes raw Resources out of "Waste" product from all Factories and Sieges.
Faetalis makes Artifact-class Gear, including, and not limited to, a full-body skinsuit that replicates another Player's Avatar Class Levels, and she replicates their Gears.
Due to the nature of Mindzol being on a Satellite Factory, he won't have anything but himself, since his Factory will only be using a combination of solar and auxiliary power to run itself and its distress beacon. It would take an Supreme Being to override that, so you'll be starting at zero, unless Mindzol has an Elite or two, like Mae's Kitchen Staff.
However, his is something that we can work on in, and out of, character, since Mindzol seems like he would gel (pun intend) well with Gamma, Levia, and even Tungsten with the potential to fashion new breeds of slimes with Gamma's and Levia's aid to further Infactorium's expansion and growth, and possibly assist Tungsten's desire to rebirth his BIGs by creating a slime that can conduct electricity like blood does oxygen and function as a portable battery system, which cuts back on time, cost, and resources.
My last suggestion is to define what your Jobs Levels do. Forbidden Arts Uses, Berserk, and Demonic Essence are not clear at all what they do as Jobs from just a glance, so clarity helps us better interact with Mindzol.
Admittedly, you did stumble across some detail-oriented nutcases with this group, as we've detailed out character sheets out like we're playing AD&D, but that's a good thing, as it gives you and idea of how in-depth or how simplified you can make a character sheets.
Just, uh, don't try and copy mine. I have a special place reserved for me in Hell, where all completed and hype character sheets from D&D games go, but instead of seeing a piece of creative history, it's just a drawing of stick man figure with a name, class, and level on a flash card.

yeh I kinda left some stuff more vague to give the rough idea of the way I was going. I had actually fully intended to have him produce slimes that 1) aided in the function of other factories (i.e. lava slimes to help the forge, a combo of sanitary and predator slimes to go through and clean the machines of the guild by fitting inside the working components) 2) working with the other overseers to augment their own minions, 3) had combat purposes. With the job classes, admittedly these were pulled directly from cannon so some I didn't have much to go on, but I'll define them in the sense of the current game

So quick question, do the stats really matter and how do I calculate if it does? How does one come up with the total power? Also @Enkryption if you have some time Id like to work on some of this with you, specifically his spells and such.

The PvP Element to this is a farcical in nature, because you'll hardly be challenged by The New World, real talk. However, it serves to better understand your character's mechanical nature alongside their narrative nature; after all, an Overseer with a Spellcasting Focus isn't going to have 90 Physical Attack, but 90 Magical Attack wouldn't be so out of place.
It's something to help you shape your character's affect on the world, and help other players instantly gleam your focuses. As for the calculation, you can allocate 10 Points x your Overseer's Level to all stats, which cannot go passed 75 without extremely good reason. So, you've a total potential of 750 Points you can spend, if you make a Lv75 Overseer.
And, lastly, I don't have time for sit-down sessions, but I'm always checking on my PMs, so just sent me what you wanna work on, and we'll hash it out in the PMs.

Tungsten coming up to bat with a spooky Cu Alter skin. I love it. There's only one thing to nitpick at, and that's Tungsten choosing a preexisting skinsuit to put on. However, that's just a small rewrite to play it off as Tungsten imagining himself doing that.
Everyone is, basically, imagining their Human skin, and then it will be tailored by Faetalis in the next GM post.

I'm loving the actual showing from everyone, so far. Everyone's introspection has been very well-crafted, from understandably apprehensive to simply confused. Everyone's boiled themselves down to try and grasp at what it means to be Human, inside and outside, when you are already a Monster, and how to gain purpose from that.
Mae's inherent wish to be a caretaker, beloved and respected, but not feared; to be as warm and inviting as a rolling kitchen, and as loved as a hot meal at the dinner table.
Levia's intrinsic need to strive her own path, be recognized as one that was strong, yet there's a sense of vulnerability in the hate that shrouds her; a lost child, longing for belonging and home.
Gamma's built-in drive to ascend, to claw and climb her way from the bottom of her infancy to the apex of her elderhood; the motivation to see herself become God as Humans do, evolving her purpose down a new path.
Tungsten's deconstruction and reconstruction of "purpose" and "meaning" and how it all relates to "character" when to preexisting values are stripped of their current meaning, and you're told to redefine then; to ask yourself, "Who am I," and "What am I," to find buried meaning.
All that's left is Cormac's old man musing on the matter, and I'm very, very excited to start the next post.

Go for it. Just a fair warning, I'm the primary prep person at my job, and I work everyday, except Wednesday and Sunday, from 9-5 EST. So, long-form answers will be sparse, since I have, roughly, an hour and fifteen minutes during my walk to work, and I'm notoriously (and, admittedly) lazy on my Wednesday off.
I, usually, just play FFXIV all day. Just bought Watch Dog: Legion UE for $37, so that's my new addiction.
Sunday, I run a Pathfinder campaign from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM~4:00 PM.
Still, I'll do my level best when I do answer.

Just for the sake of clarification, are the new factories already built? Earlier in the meeting (although six months ago IRL time) it sounded like we just had the blueprint, and it would be up to the overseers to design their floors. From the most recent post it sounds like they're done and ready to be turned on and explored though. In either case, could I also ask who built/will build them?

The floor plans are up to the Overseers to design like a house in Sims 3, but Faetalis already put the infrastructure in from the digging she had done. I'm skipping the whole narrative process of describing the whole construction of all ten skeletons, and just letting you guys get straight to your design plans.
So, effectively, you're flipping the lights on and powering up two massive, empty rooms with infinite freedom to make them your own.
