Journey Through The Multiverse: WBX (Discussion)

[Psyga315]

This is where we discuss the spinoff of the JTTM Spinoff that chronicles the first mission of W-B-X.

Do I just write my character in?

[Rain]

I think you need to write a signup for them first. >.>

[stratofarius]

And tell us where the hell have you been.

[Psyga315]

Write up the signup or link it in the sign up thread. When you're accepted then you can put your character in.

Hey, Flank, does Sergio have a normal heart?

[Flanker]

Hm...

On the one hand, he's so extensively modified that I wouldn't be surprised if his heart's been rendered almost unrecognisable by the alterations.

On the other, I'm not sure DE style cybernetics have advanced far enough to do that (although there's every chance that his cybernetics are more of a mishmash of various types).

It doesn't help that in the canon his main augmentations come from, we only know definitively about the finer details of the cybernetics the main character uses (which, unfortunately, isn't the "donor" Sergio got his from). If we extrapolate from said main character's augmentations, however, although the heart appears normal, it's got an implant that basically acts as a defibrilator, among other things (this is the reason why Sergio may not be floored by critical injuries that might stop a normal person in their tracks).

So to put it simply, I don't know. Sorry about that.

[Rain]

Then I suggest you answer the question yourself for the purpose of this roleplay. =P

[Flanker]

Unfortunately, I think that unless this is something crucial it'll have to remain up in the air - I'd rather stick to canon as much as possible (even if the canon in question only fits in in a somewhat oblique fashion).

Considering the fact that it doesn't definitively answer the question itself, it makes my job a lot harder, and I'd rather not presume one way or the other in case I end up contradicting things or being unrealistic.

As I said, I'm sorry, but the answer is I simply don't know.

[Rain]

I have a blind character with extremely sharp hearing. It matters. >_>

[stratofarius]

So, wait, does Baijiu see double when she "sees" Walker? He has two hearts after all.

[Rain]

No, she'd just recognise that there's two heartbeats and use that to identify him. =P

[Flanker]

Hm, roight.

If I remember correctly, the original owner of the cybernetics might be the most cybernetically enhanced character in the game he appears in, with the only obviously organic part of his body being his head (and even that's got grooves - perhaps for implants - in it).

It may not be too much of a stretch to assume that the heart's been replaced (perhaps an electronic pump to circulate blood to the organic parts of his brain, possibly with other functions besides?) or at least modified extensively, since otherwise it'd be a rather "squishy" weak point in an otherwise protected system (the reason his head is left pretty much organic is that I presume the tech's just not advanced enough to be extensively applied there - or if it can, it's unsafe).

[Flanker]

Doubleposting to let you guys know that Sergio's already left the room to do some last minute things. I was going to suggest that he could come back in just in time to catch the tail end of what Walker said, but I think that wouldn't be possible unless Sergio practically ran and did everything in a rush.

Bam.

[Rain]

Right, sorry I haven't posted. Umm... when I'm more awake I'll get something out. >.,

[Flanker]

What she said, pretty much.
