A Diplomatic Overture - An Android's Fight for Sentient Status

Ah! I forgot the emotions thing. . . . . . . . .*Flops around* I, see. . . Emotions, but slightly different from humans? A little more, clinical, I think is the right word. . . . Say, when choosing a partner they look for compatibility, but after a mutual agreement is made, the feelings between them are real, if muted. They can feel all the primal emotions like fear, anger and the like, but don't grasp the concepts of nor feel embarrassment or shame. This leads to amusing stuffs :P I see a form of humor, but it's very dry, like Japanese humor(Which I love by the way :P).

One request on the anatomic make-up of the androids: No wires, gears, or diodes showing? I like the whole eye thing where the irises look almost like cameras with the expanding and contracting pupil, but I'm not one for exposed metal joints. . . . Flesh like flesh, not plastic or metal :P

The Rebel Vampire

It is designed to capture the will, rather than just making it so the vampire can't harm you. Like taking control of both body and soul. He would still be himself, but he would be unable to deny his master anything. In a normal bond, the vampire can't leave the master, or hurt them, and the invasive bond makes it so that the vampire doesn't even WANT to leave them. He can still argue and disagree with the human, he just ends up submitting out of instinct. I see the seven doses take quite a while to administer, and in between a lot of tension, drama, and interplay.

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnn. . . . . . . *Rolls over and other* Three times a year, 3 weeks each with one week for arrival and departures and set-up, with three months between each meeting, and the alliance will provide transport for all the delegates so there's no risk of someone flying in with a battle cruiser? Not everyone has to attend each meeting, and if it wasn't for the android issue, half of the seats are normally empty unless there is a dispute of some kind. I. . . . .can go with having two characters here too that way we can at least make this stretch two to three meetings, in other words, one full year, and the second meeting on earth, the final meeting on the home world at the center of the alliance. This would be the big one, everyone attending for the final decision.

Fair?

Agreed on the old tech, no problems there. I was just hoping to avoid hoverboards and such :P And my guy has no tech! Just a set of clothes when he transforms :P

The Rebel Vampire

*Nod* *Nod* Yush, very classic idea.

So what do you think about the idea of spiking the blood to make the bond more potent?

A Diplomatic Overture - An Android's Fight for Sentient Status

I was seeing space travel for the alliance a no big deal kinda thing. Like, it only takes an evening to move from one planet to the next. Space folding and the like. Everyone would load on to a ship, space would fold, and they'd be setting down on the next planet within a couple hours. It would also give us another setting to work with. Also, I do see this taking a while, several months at least. Everyone needs a chance to speak, put forth their thoughts, dispute ideas. I know Data got his status as sentient in, what, two days? If I remember correctly, but I see this being a much bigger matter because it's not just one android, it's an entire race of them. We don't have to RP every given second, and I can see reasonable time skips between encounters with out two characters so that it doesn't seem to drag on. I'd set the rotation on once a month, and the android issue only coming up once every three days. Everything can't stop for them, so they have to stay on schedule. Plus, this would make for some good opportunities for attempts on the android's life, or stealing of technologies while he is too far from home to get any help beyond his two aids. More drama :P

Magical Protection

Time setting sounds good to me, but with the kid's status as you've set it, I'd see him not having much access to the higher tech.

If you're getting antsy to get started, there is only one last thing I kinda need before we begin: A Character Sheet. I have a really decent one I use, it's easy to just fill in and helps me heaps to keep track of both characters and gives me a better feel for things. *Big shiny eyes* I can just post the empty outline here and fill mine out some time later tonight. . . . .*Bats eyes*

The Rebel Vampire

I'm glad you find it intriguing. As for how long it's been around, yeah, hundreds. Evil creatures of lore, yup. As for how it came to be. . . Since we have multiple immortals and creatures to go with on this, I'd say the tech followed a genetic and biological route that allowed humans to come up with something or another that would weaken the immortals and beasts, and combined it with a mystical element to ensure enslavement. Like, for the Weres, a collar which keeps them in check, for faeries a web to keep them where you want them, for the Fae an addiction they can't escape. I like the idea of each race being handled differently, and the bonding with vampires a very different experience from the enslavement of the other races. Like, the guy has to drink something if he want the vampire to be entirely his rather than just another slave who has to stay by their master's side from a more shallow kind of bond. The other vamp in his service could be bonded in the shallow way, giving him more freedom to express himself or have minor rebellions, while what the human wants for the rebel is far crueler :P *Lets mean streak show*

Yes, planet, and I think it will be a rotational thing. How about, the androids aren't the only topic, and the council, to maintain fairness, moves from planet to planet in the alliance to deal with issues. Each planet would have a council chamber, maybe slightly different in certain ways to reflect their histories? I totally had this romantic thingy in mind about when earth comes into rotation. The guys will be no longer in direct opposition and he can show the android some of the more beautiful places on Earth during the off time :P

Magical Protection

Large city, on the outskirts in a kinda rural area? Not too far from the central hub, but far enough out that there are still yards, fountains, and grassy areas. Places where my guy can commune with others of his kind.
