Ducats I'm totally willing to discuss this with you. Did you read my Outsider dreams earlier?
We chose gender neutral so I think our dean avatar should be fluid, switching back and forth. Someone earlier said we should have morgan freeman and minds kaplings voice double. Like that, but I don't thinks too actors work for us. We want to affable, but they're too warm and friendly for an elsriych being.
Yeah, I really liked them, especially the Blackwell scene. Though one of the worriws I have is that we will be too alien and distant to appeal to Taylor and other hosts. This is important to not do when dealing with potential parahumans, they are often people in a bad situation, so I think we should tailor our approch accordingly.
For example, when dealing with Taylor I think we should focus more on being a friend and mentor, two things that Taylor needs and wants. This will give us greater trust from her and will likley result in less resentment when things go wrong. But most importantly, she is our first host and we are just starting out and will likley talk a lot more with her than with most hosts, so it would probably be best in the long run to be more personable with her and our mystique would likley be diminsished over time.
The mentor bit comes in because it is something Taylor would sorley need, someone with a different perspective and could show her things that would allow her to make better decisions, like that Blackwell scene, we let Taylor experience that and her whole perspective on authority figures are put into doubt. I believe the mentor route will lead to better results with her since we will be a stark contrast between all the other authority in her life, the fact that her doing well is in our best intrest will just make it wasier on our end.
Also I think the changing appearance and echoing voices will turn away alot of people (and bring in some other people), so I think we will have to custom make our interactions, but I think the standard will be one form and voice per sleep, make it known that we are not completly like them, but still approachable.
Ducats if you don't like the hand mark, do you have a suggestion for a representative symbol. Something that says, "This is the Administrator" or maybe even for Kettle?
For more coolness factor and chuuni, I recommend modifying the iris in the eys into blue cogs that turn, they would only be visible to our hosts, but could be made to appear at will. This will let our hosts recognize eachother and would be a brand we could use when doing buisness.
Also another thing I would like to discuss is standard bodymod package for our hosts. One thing we can do to circumwent the biomass problem, is rewriting the template of the host in such a way that they will grow into their major changes over time.
Edit: Got to sleep now school tomorrow.
. Possibly one of my favourite Thinker powers ever in fandom. Personally I wouldn't mind giving this to Taylor, although I can see why people would prefer something more powerful.
