Currently full for now.

Applications may be opened and accepted at a later date with an Interest Check and Character Sheet written.

I realized I didn't put a bio in for GrillBears, Gammaton's creator, and I hadn't realized GrillBears interests overlap with NotEvenHere's until just now. Does Levia have her own factory? If not, then since you mentioned Levia's home was in the 'animal pens', and the Pits of Hivehill were intended to function as such, you would be more than welcome to have Levia live in the Pits. The Pits were also intended as an experiemtnal breeding ground, so maybe GrillBears and NotEvenHere were collaborators in the past?

@Stern Algorithm

I'd be down with GrillBears and NotEvenHere being collaborators. And, I'd probably still want to say that Levia has her own office for breakdown of hazardous materials, but she can definitely bunk in the Pits. Her and Gammaton can even have bunk beds!

Note for my CS, B;oodAndGuts93 isn't a typo on my part. Cormac's creator in universe made the typo and never changed it.

[Enkryption]

And, the ball is offically rolling, because I was lazy and tired yesterday, and forgot to roll it.

[Lugubrious]

Alrighty, finished Mae's underlings, so I'll post today or tomorrow!

I wanted to ask, can I have the staff units of Hivehill be worker ants/bees, and just have as many as I want (within reason)? As workers, they would have no combat levels, but would function as parcel delivery, waste collection, heavy labor, etc. and could be leased out to the other factories in functional groups to serve similar menial task purposes. Being of low intelligence, they coordinate through pheromones, but beyond instinctively knowing how to make hives and hills, they are incapable of higher-level planning/construction.

That way I can save the Factory levels for combat units.

@Stern Algorithm

Staff Units are Units that are duplicated by a combination of MinMaxine's Racial Class Skills, and are cookie cutter from a Schematic (Unit Level no higher than 1/2 their Overseer) that each Factory member gave to Faetalis.

Hence, they have no cost against your Factory Production, but can only take one solid hit, before going sploosh back into slime.

So, in spite of having combat potential, they are literally a duplicate that Faetalis uses to "bypass" (a.k.a. exploit a loophole) restrictions on the Production Levels, as she designed MinMaxine to be, technically, an Overseer that duplicates other Entities and produces them via her Slime Magic, so she could spend her Production Levels on her Technomancer stuff and her fellow members can focus on projects the same without stressing.

@Enkryption

Cool, that works for me.

[Lugubrious]

Oh, in that case the 'Notable Specimens' section of my unit schematic needs a lot of revision. I was under the impression that they could be played like different members of the same species and this their own sub-characters. Each Maneater on the Trough's staff would have to be identical then, right? Does that mean that in the new world their personalities would also be identical? Could they even have different names?

@Lugubrious

To answer, Personality is flexible, Design is flexible, Name is flexible, but the Schematic is preset. So, you can easily have subspecies within a single Schematic by simply designing them to do different things, and personalities that befit them - especially in the New World, where they would be able to evolve their personalities beyond the scope of their designs due to the lack of binary constraints.

I probably should have mentioned this way earlier, but I'mma try and keep this to a weekly deadline; not heavily enforced, as my work life is in a current state of chaos, but I wanna try and have everyone's post on by Friday or Saturday, so I can post the following Sunday or Monday.

Hopefully, that structure will help with a consistent flow.

@Enkryption

Sounds good. I'll try to have my post up by tonight, but if I don't get the chance, it should be up tomorrow after I get back from work.

[Enkryption]

Well, here's the good news on posts: I really like everyone's varied characters and personality types show so far - shoutouts to the Warframe reference from Tungsten, and love the Mae's Comedy Wait Staff; Gamma and Levia feel like they would be sisters, and Cormac feels like he is the grumpy old man everyone loves to mess with, and totally not Andre of Astora.

Definitely going to make for an interesting cast, especially when it comes to outside interactions.

Now, the bad news: Pretty much the entire night staff at my job was put on 10-day exclusion, because one of our managers is your classic, dumb teenager who would rather party every night than do her job, and got Corona, which put everyone she interacted with on cautionary exclusion.

As such, my job closes every night at 8 PM, right now, and I'm probably going into work, at least, every shift at 7 AM. My brain is shorted out, right now, from a 10-1/2 hour work shift with little food, no rest, and a lot of organic fruit juice.

I will try and maintain the weekly deadline, however, and I am working on a post, but, in the meantime, everyone is free to post as you like until you reach The Office of External Affairs.

Sorry this is so sudden.

No worries, sometimes life just throws you a curveball.

I'd be down to have Mae join up and interact with anyone else on the way to the meeting.

[Enkryption]

Gunna try and restart the post cycle this week, so anyone that wants to post can still do so until Sunday. I'm less than 5-1/2 hours short of a 50 hour work week, and I still have a 8 - probably, 8-1/2 - shift ahead of me.

Yesterday was my first legitimate day of rest, so I didn't do anything. Rollicking good start to this, I know. Hopefully, this week, everything stabilizes, and life returns to nominal once more.

Oh, the unbridled joys of being low-level management.

[Enkryption]

Just giving a heads up that I'mma start working on Sunday's post Friday evening, so no-one is caught unawares. As such, the current state of the scene is going to be locked into place, so we can get back on cycle, unless you can guarantee a post by Saturday evening.

My work load is starting to even back out, thankfully. So, I shouldn't have any problems in the foreseeable future.

Alright, not my best, but it's been one hell of a week and I spent Friday and Saturday with my desktop down, after getting Windows 10 installed Friday morning.

However, Faetalis's CS is up, and we should be steady rolling - unless something else blows up in my life... >.>

Soooo, how's everybody doing? Been quiet on the Western front. And the Southern front. North front's popping but that's the usual. East front...

You know. East front.
