I'm not sure it gives it that much...and it'd be creepy. Unless you also give it flesh and organs, but that's...that's a creepy thing to do?

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

Hm... I suppose another question would be where we would get the skin.

[Is there like... a skin machine around.]

But I agree organs are not necessary. A robot already has many parts that perform the same functions as the heart or the brain.

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

Right. And the skin.

I think the only problem with ftin#50001 not being human is whoever made them didn't make them to be human. We just have to fix that.

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

Well... Is anyone made to be human?

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

No, but humans generally aren't made. I think ones that are probably are made to be human?

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

Hmm... Well, my people do have the practice of creating human-like familiars. I suppose it could be the same principle, but nevertheless I would not call those creations "human".

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

Why not? They do everything humans do, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

They do, but they are incapable of creating anything themselves. Their aether--that is to say, energy, is only enough to let them exist and carry out the tasks given to them.

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

Levity did you make an entire group of servants that exist to die when they're done with their job.

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

I didn't! I'm nowhere skilled enough to do something like that.

[That makes it better, right?]

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

But...you would have...if you could?

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

Hmm... Possibly. Though my job was short on menial tasks, and I could hardly have a familiar help me out with reviewing concepts.

[STILL NOT SEEING ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS?]

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

Levity, that's horrible!

Re: DISCUSSION

[weenwoon]

[what do you mean???]

How so?

Re: DISCUSSION

[onemoreknight]

You're making slaves and then working them to death!

Re: DISCUSSION

[....,,, MA'AM HE IS A FINAL FANTASY]

Sl-- I-I'm not certain how you got there from what I said. Familiars are... are just that, an extension of one's aether! Once the necessary task is completed, the aether may be returned and used to create something else--or the familiar may be submitted as a concept, so that others could create it as well.

[See it makes perfect sense? Nothing is unsettling about this??]
