Why on Earth Would Durga waste time time making Anna more attractive when she was in a situation were her looks means nothing to her goal of beating the antagonists, unless of course Anna was being made more attractive from the point of the antagonists.
But Anna is shrinking atm and will end up fairly short when she is 'done'. So did their type change?Well, the Cores kinda default on making the Valks attractive as well anyway, but that value varies... it could very well that Anna (Durga) goes for the Amazon Beauty type.
It's passive, there's literally nothing to waste.
Her fairly short still meant "taller than most of the cast" tho.But Anna is shrinking atm and will end up fairly short when she is 'done'. So did their type change?
But if a more muscular one is even a fraction of a percent stronger isn't that better as far as an AI that is only concerned with keeping Anna and the townspeople alive?It's passive, there's literally nothing to waste.
I mean, an attractive soldier can still kill you just fine.
Yes but Anna didn't need to be fit the muscle mass would be a waste of energy due to the impeller field as more mass = more energy needed to move said mass.
I'm sorry, but...wut?
This Vs the efficiency of moving a overall larger body Vs the fact that Anna most likely didn't eat much Vs the fact that Anna adapted to eating antagonists while in combat, her impeller Field would be working on making sure that she doesn't die, the GM has already stated that Anna being made shorter because this is the first time in years that Durga has to improve the body other then adding redundancy systems so that she could survive easier.
So you are saying that Annas ideal combat form is a brain?
Yes, or rather that's was how Durga saw it remember that in a -5 world she'd have no body other then the valkery.
That was due to injuries she had suffered. Durga simply replaced lost flesh with metal.
Hang on...
However since she would still have a body in the form of a Valkyrie rather than just being an armoured brain with weapons systems expressed from her from her Valks pocket dimension there are clearly still advantages to having a body. Just that a robot can do them better.
Can you point me to the post where it said she was getting shorter? I must've missed it, or just forgotten.
Were is it said that?
The difference here is that at -1 Anna did have the extra time and energy in order to heal 'naturally' rather than to take shortcuts.
At -1, the WFM cost an arm. It's not too far to assume that at -5, she has to pay more.
Is that going to show, though? She's been rebuilt by Durga - I don't think there'd be any scarring, as that would be suboptimal.
Yep.
Possibly, never trust a QM to be above throwing a feel bomb at you if they think it will generate sadness though.
Reminder that her combat time is still less than her synched time and that the majority of her combat are Patrol and Hunt with neither her nor the AG knew where the other is.
Not obvious, but very likely.
She wasn't fighting 24/7 all the time, so she had time to properly heal. In -5 she most likely didn't have that luxury. Due to the need, Durga or Anna most likely decided to just stop properly healing and instead replace any non-vital parts with metal.
I remember her having consistence combat for several years, also in the first fight we see she is used to simple teleporting to avoid damage and is unused to avoiding the normal way. Which makes her so skilled in impeller use shows that she has relied on it for everything. After all bullshit space magic is more effective then mere muscle mass that may get in the way.
I think you'd need multiple tables to deal with integration. Have, say, three broad classes of item 'strength' (cloth/wood/metal), and three classes of item 'quality' (poor/average/good). After each session, or every other session perhaps (I'm imagining it as a tabletop, not a video game, hence sessions rather than missions), you can improve every item you have by one step in either Hardness or Quality. After it is both as hard as metal and of good quality, you start getting +1s to indicate it being superior to anything human-made. If it's a weapon or armor, +1s are added to die rolls to deploying that item. If it's just a normal item, just roleplay it getting better and fancier.
I'm not too sure about the organs thing, actually, Since Anna uses her impellar field to work her body, maybe Durga just started ignoring them?
