PhoenixFlame Presents: Eclipse Phase

[Dracorion]

Dignity is for people who don't suffer from obsessive masturbational habits. No, that's not me, that's just Ellen's OCD.

Gem: Other than their vastly increased penetration, no. But that tends to put them in a class of their own. Considering virtually all RGs use AP because it's superior but CANNOT opt to use low-penetration rounds like hollowpoint, that only magnifies the effect.

The morph's brain. You're less buying the enhancement and more the lisence to use it on that body.

Too much dignity? I guess being male, you can claim that, but are you insinuating something, nya?

[Overcast]

Nope just the toughest, the baddest is Daniel. Okay BACK TO WORK!

Hey, proposal: Let's differentiate between spam and stuff that we want PF to read by making the "PLEASE READ" stuff dark orange.

Hey, it's worked before.


And now just let me repost something here:

Information on your enhancements is backed up in your brain, in the event they need to be reconstructed or maintenanced.

Wait, what? You're talking about augmentations here, right? As in, page 300 onwards? And you're saying that they're backed up on our brain? As in, part of our ego? What if the enhancements just come with the Morph we're using?

Read up, I happen to edit my most recent post to take account for the fact that three or more posts happen while I was writing it and you're all asking five thousand relevant or less-relevant questions while I beg someone to make a moderately viable catgirl gunslinger and someone insults my otaku feminimity.

If I spelled that right, whatever.

Two words; "Post Scarcity". That money stuff, those credits? Those only exist in the inner system hellhole controlled by those evil hypercorp guys. You use them in chargen because they're convenient, but otherwise when you 'purchase' an implant, or more likely pull a string/call a favor to get the design for one to be placed in your body, you're buying a contract, or a lisence, much like a modern software lisence, to run that implant on that specific morph.

Repairs, replacement, that's included. You couldn't on the other hand, get it put in another morph without paying for THAT, unless you pirated it or hacked it or copied it or had your own healing vat/CM to install it, but... That'd be illegal, which may or may not matter to you, or to anyone else. Legality on say a scum barge operating out in the middle of nowhere isn't really enforced by men in blue shirts, they're enforced by Mr. Giovanni over there.

Mr. Giovanni has a morph specifically designed for breaking kneecaps, see?

But it matters in chargen, so there.

[Geminex]

Ah, right. Sorry about missing that. I still think we should use orange to specify stuff that we want you to read.

Ok, so we have the Ego (skills, aptitudes), brain (biological augmentations) and morph (cyber-implants, morph modifiers). Is that correct?

And there's nothing wrong with Otaku femininity! I as just planning to make my morph male, and cat-ears wouldn't really complement that. Though, since I'm gonna go with an inferior morph to begin with anyway, I could make it female with cat-ears. As long as the cat-ears are free and I get my Ghost soon enough.
...
Deal?

Ego/Morph, mainly. The brain thing is... Just consider everything in the morph salvagable unless they break that.

Orange is fine, but I don't like clockwork.

Edit, down: Ellen already did it, it'd just be overused by now.

[krogothwolf]

I could put cat ears on my brave fencer! It'd look funny, then have a smart dog!

[Geminex]

Hey, we could all get cat-ears. The Neko Squad, we'd call ourselves.

And thanks for the idea, PF. My char's favorite song will be Bethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Edit: And do Smart Vacsuits count as armor clothing? Or can we wear both, along with armor vests? Oh, and can we get multiple skin pockets?

[krogothwolf]

Alright! This should the the Final bit of NotSure(till I get unlazy and think of a real name) changes were, added Laser Pulser for weapons, shock Proof armour plating, Plus an Enemy! SoSure!(I'll think of a name later, honest!)
