<Snipped quote by Ophidian>

Biotech is pretty advanced, to the point that cloning has existed for a while now. It just isn't usually used for making more people, rather genetically engineered creations that are regarded as being on the same level as robotic AIs and exist mostly as either novelties or SO substitutes for the r9k types (since you can't have actual sex with a robot). So basically, there are factories for this stuff. But if you use them to make people that are considered as such, then most of the solar system is going to consider them lower life forms.

@Keyguyperson

Ooooooh.

I'm so going to do that, and I'm so going to have Vietnam throw down the LIBERTY gauntlet over Clone Rights...and I..

genetic modification...

....

Nekos.

are nekos possible.

Sorry.

I have to ask.

@Keyguyperson

So, what's cloning like in this verse?

Vietnam must grow

LARGER.

This is intriguing.

@Keyguyperson Would I be allowed to be a non-corporate entity on Mars? Namely one that's a quasi-religious cult order with an obsession about machines and the integration of man and machine through bionics and prosthetics? Speaking of which, how advanced would prosthetics be at his point?

@ClocktowerEchos

Hello 40k. :p

Personally, I'm going with modern-day Chinamerica. A formerly communist country that still calls itself communist, but is really just a haven for corporations and mostly populated by an industrial underclass. The America part comes in culturally, and the original communist revolution against Earth was basically just the West Virginia Coal Wars where the miners won plus the American Revolution. And then, well, the economy crashes and the government has been talking up the original revolution for years. And now some lady has told everyone that she's going to restore the glorious People's Republic of the Belt by removing inequality according to its original revolutionary ideals.

@Keyguyperson

So we'll be playing the leftist backlash to the crash, essentially.

This should make for good storytelling opportunities. Also dead bankers. Bit of both really.

Also important question.

This lady.

Interested. I have ideas for a corporate state entity that could fit right into this setting, where the value of the worker-employee is based on their debts and stock value in the company. And given that a major stock market meltdown has just happened........

How powerful is AI in this setting? Human-level? Beyond-human? Theoretically possible to create a super-AI or ubiquitous AI assistants but a mix of politics/economics/lack of interest not making it so? Details please.

Overall I give you kudos for having a very specific setting and "theme" to the game. The reason a lot of other NRP's sputter is because they are too vague and freeform. This game is different with a clear setting and immediate problem everyone has to face. I'll give it a shot, hope this takes off.

@Skylar

For myself, I'm probably going with an Indochina-Caribbean type state. Initially, a social democracy with ultra-liberal "Free Cities" that....well.

Indentured servitude that rapidly became another type of chattel slavery. And worse.

Radicals in the military seize control of the government during the crash, started storming the Free Cities. And unearthing a hell of alot of dirty little secrets, which they promptly send out to the media.

Things...progress from there.

I'm interested.

I have some...ideas...

@Ophidian @Isotope Just a reminder guys. I'll be removing the claims of anyone who has not posted their sheet in the character tab or the OOC tomorrow night. If you are still interested in the RP please post your WIP sheets in the OOC, otherwise I'll be removing your claim to make space for other interested parties.

@Darkspleen

I probably can't work that quickly, so I'll have to bow out.

Legend of the Silver Legion (A Fantasy RP)

Hm.

Swanky new joint. I like it

Is that new carpeting?

Legend of the Silver Legion (A Fantasy RP)

@Ophidian Two spots remain if new claims are final.

The island way up north or the bit of land down south.

As being Undead, we shall see what Spleen thinks.

@Sigma

Way up north would likely be ideal then, as I've got some ideas regarding stereotypical takes on Vampires. And this requires a certain...environment.

I'll await their input then. Thank you kindly for the response!

Legend of the Silver Legion (A Fantasy RP)

There any room remaining? I know there's quite a few private agreements about here. And the map is quite full so....

If so, would an undead faction be particularly objectionable?
