Wow, strong emotional connections. Good job, creator.

Anyway. It's much more likely the creatures were grown entirely in vat-grown tubes, and may or may not have brains at all for prototypes. Who knows? It's easier to do genetic therapy to a fetus then a full-grown human being, and it may also explain why they didn't try to keep the projects alive to check the mental changes. They may not even have brains.

More importantly: transhumans seem like pretty cool guez eh, do their own thing.

as I said in #RQ, I'm not mad with Cora, I'm just disappointed she would be so easily tempted.

And even if they were vat-babies, the would still need a brain to have a heartbeat, and to perform basic cognitive tests in the case the would succeed. They didn't let them die just to display them, they died because their bodies were in such a state that there was no longer any way they could function. In any case, they are still willing to horribly disfigure and kill humans for their own goals. I would never want to associate with them, let alone put Coralina under their knife.

1. Balance
2. Gripping things

The issue isn't that there are no possible benefits. The issue is that they suck. A tail would be a bad idea even by itself - it makes her different, and thus a less appealing leader to the masses. This greatly outweighs all physical bonuses.

The risk merely serves as dangerous icing on an already shitty cake.

I have a proposition.
Buy piles of gadgets and armor plate.
Use the Armor of Whatveritwas to glom it all together into power armor.
Also use this to create a realistic face under the helmet.
We can stick whatever the shit we want onto the armor, and use that as a justification to have a life outside of ruling the city, as well pulling whatever transhumanistic stunts we wish.
Also master uninhabited armor.

As to the experimentation, that eye will be quite valuable. I suggest getting an eye we can 'turn off', then erasing the records of the transaction.

>>
No. 6388 ID: dcc3f3

The city in question is not really cyberpunk, so much as dystopic. People are not all "LOL WE SO CRAZY, DIFFERENT IS BETTER" all the time. See the demonstrations for particularly stark example of this - people were mostly just worried about their kids. Thus we see that human nature is not, as you suggest, fundamentally different in Vresch's domain. People still form groups. The factions which we have been visiting are, in fact, such groups. Therefore, the differences between their members and the members of different factions do not cause the members of a given group to feel poorly about their compatriots, because within their affiliation they share many characteristics. What that difference does do is contribute to an us-and-them mindset. We've seen evidence of this pretty much every time someone other than Vresch talks about groups of which they are not members. ("You can't trust them Transcendentalists!" "Those sorcerors are gonna get us all blowed up!" etc.) People focus on problems they perceive among other groups, and have strong loyalties to their own factions.

Whether this attitude applies to the general population is not something we really know yet. Since this is a literary thingamajiggy, however, we can assume that most of what we're shown has relevance. In character, we can assume that because it's what Vresch recommend we scope out. Thus it's fairly safe to assume that the types of attitudes we've been seeing are not, as you would have us believe, drastically atypical. It is likely that the common folk band together by family, or by the physical types that they were magically formed into when shit first got hairy.

Now this brings us back to the original point: that people are most willing to support those who are like themselves. If you recall, the magical change is fairly recent. Everyone was human a mere handful of years ago. Thus, human is a sort of "neutral" state with which everyone can empathize. It is true that modifications would endear us somewhat to those who choose modifications themselves, to some extent. However, it would alienate us to every other group. Hell, it might even alienate us from folks who modify their own bodies, if a tail of this nature is generally held by them to be a poor choice. For all you know, getting a tail could be the local equivalent of showing up at the game table wanting to play FATAL. And even if modders think tails are bitchin' rad extremities, that does nothing for the general population.

tl;dr: I am a dystopian pollster.

I really enjoyed this, so I made one for some old quest nobody cares about.
Remember when I drew in MSPaint and you could barely tell what things were supposed to be? Those were the days.
The differences between then and now fascinate me.

There is someone taller than Kara in Apoc. I'm frightened!

Hope included to show the effects of the timeskip. Also, it makes this a little more Apoc related. What a difference a decade makes!

No. 14688 ID: 059120

I'm not sure if no one pointed this out because it was obvious or because they all missed it, but I just realized that KaraQuest wasn't related to the Apocalypse. It was ten years before it. Which means Vresch was summoned twice.

Hope's said that it was 16 and a half years since she was sealed. Everyone has said that the world ended 6 years ago. A rough timeline with some conclusions drawn:

2059: Cora is born.
2065: Rastin finds the Crystal, Victor summons Vresch, Vresch meets Rastin, Paraply takes over a few cities, Kara takes down Rastin, Kara seals Hope, Nic banishes Vresch (Adept, get on that last one.)
2075: Cora summons Vresch, Vresch seeks out Rastin, Nuclear destruction, Vresch founds Neotis.
2081: Apoc
20XX: TPD

Looking at this now, I'm not sure it actually means anything. I thought it was interesting how long I missed it, though.

>>324519
I'd say its as perfect as he could think of... its mostly a carrot system to make the common man actually want to work, and simple enough for him to be able to keep track of.

Big business and cults most likely deal on direct exchange of goods and credit with the value linked to the perceived value of said goods. An economy within the economy. How else do you think you gonna pay off somebody at FurReality if you have to? One thousand luxury tickets?

Do luxury tickets expire?
>>
No. 14722 ID: 3441fa

>Do luxury tickets expire?
They expire upon receipt. Performing a legal transaction in Neotis causes the tickets you spent to cease to exist. If you do not spend them, they do not expire.

However, they can be traded under the table, which would not cause them to expire, but this is illegal. Not that it doesn't happen, but Vresch does not like it when it does because it turns the tickets back into, essentially, money.

The entire system wouldn't work if it weren't all digital.

Everyone seems to have so little faith in Cora. The votes in the thread act like she is completely helpless on her own and has no ambition, but that's because SHE TRUSTS YOU.

Her grandma always told her stories about how the orb would fix everything. Cora may not like your attitude much, but she trusts her grandma, and by extension, she trusts you. She is letting you do your thing, because she is confident you guys will make sure everything is okay in the end.

Ever since she got to Neotis, Coralina has been out of her element with no clue what's been going on. Thankfully, she had this convenient magical orb to lean on and help her through things, so she's been depending on it. The orb has been her crutch to get her through this.

If you take away the crutch, then she'll be forced to stand on her own. And you will see a very different person from the weak, frightened girl you say she is. She is smart and strong willed, with a mastery of conjury and years of experience surviving an apocalyptic wasteland.

Do you really want to hold her by the hand forever?

Just randomly musing, but Rastin's 'be the first one here with the orb' game is too straightforward for his style; there's going to be SOME kick in the teeth the moment we finally help someone claim victory. I'm wildly guessing, but I have this strange hunch that it's on Highlander rules. Sure, the position's for life, but as soon as that person kicks it, there's going to be some stupid subclause that says the game starts up again.

You're pointing out obvious stuff here man. Of course something funky is gonna go on. Though to be honest now that we know how Rastin lived through Kara Quest ending and now he went and died again, I don't think we'd see him for a while unless he faked his death by Kara somehow, which is likely since it happened offscreen. Mentioned deaths are hardly ever real.

It does look like a lot of work. But what's there so far is pretty neat.

It is less because it is a lot of work, so much as I do not have Flash anymore, thanks to a couple of hard drive wipes over the years. I made the entirety of that animation over a year ago. If I were to come back to it, I would probably start over entirely.

So I was looking through this thread in the hopes that I wrote down the name of Cora's fire demon somewhere (looks like I did not and will need to reread the entire quest because I just know I named it somewhere SIGH), and I saw this image. Well, here's another two years for comparison.

It's like impossible to reach you in irc sometimes so I'll just ask here, why the change in style? I was sorta looking foreword to being handed off to all the different people during the fight for the orb.
