Is my character app good with you or no?  The trait of uploaded minds is there but I feel like I may need to make him a engineer given the statement on how you only have scientists, engineers and researchers.  My character I made a pilot and demagogue, which are professions I am not sure would be valued in the Collective.  Of course he is also the product of a sub-group that is considered always a generation behind (I suspect like with greek city states, you get some odd ball cultures from time to time)

And would being raised by machines be a common thing in the collective?
