TAISHO ROMAN REVOLUTION

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

Neither do I but if we don't keep their preferences in mind we'll have to face endless complaints, and it'll be a pain in the ass. So. We cut our headaches short and go with it anyway.

[Sigh!]

Are we allowed to attack a Unit that is theoretically off limits, should it be them that instigate an attack?

[Or are they just supposed to roll over in a scenario like that?]

We generally aren't told who attacked us. But if we are, I'd say that's fair game.

My proposal are Future is Now, SensitIV, AlcheME and Bad End.

We should first take traits we might get stolen from. The ability to reason, for example, eyes and hands - and I suppose we can go for another mental aspect.

But to be honest I'm not sure how likely these are to be taken.

Those all sound fine to me. [He literally doesn't care, so.]

Admittedly I am unsure of how these abilities are classified... Would we not inflict maximum damage by taking things like "ability to breathe" and "ability to have one's heart beat"?

If we're taking someone's heartbeat isn't it better to go for heart to begin with? And ability to love with it.

[... god that's getting dark fast ]

But we don't really get any extra points for causing damage.

Ahh, well, my thinking was that, that way, even if someone manages not to have their physical heart stolen it still would not beat, rendering them a corpse and thus not "human".

[...Heh.] But you are right, "ability to love" is most human an ability. Hmm... what of "survival instinct"?

At that point we might as well go for "drive", people would not be able to go on without it, and would have no desire to survive.

It is also a typically human trait.

I do not quite agree with that. A person can lack drive - have no ambition, no wish to excel... but even such a person wishes to live, more often than not. Even pathetic, ambition-less people will, in most cases, desperately cling to life.

That is not to say that "drive" is not a human trait, too, and I suppose we could well go for stealing that.
