(OOC) UNI, and the hunt for AM
| Gotcha. I'm a little held up with work. It might take me awhile before I'm back here.
| It's cool, I got a few things to do too. Take the story however you want, and control Cain if you need to.
| let's all hunt for am once we get the battle over with and move the the after effects part of the storyline
| The amount of coordination you people manage...
| AM is a reference (or hommage rather?) to the main villain in I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream right?
| Sadly, no. His name is just the username I use, AnoMeat, because of the uniqueness.
| >>103960 Ah, well that's a shame that would have been cool. Though AnoMeat is one of the many names I like in this forum so kudos for originality
| Why Thank You~
| If I'm not wrong your AnoMeat char has gone insane right? I've lurked but could make much sense of anything>>104325
| maybe...
| >>104334
Uni here. I think it's supposed to look that way to outsiders. I don't know about AM's plan on the story, but the Shepherd story has more to it than "AM going off the meds."
The fact that Shepherd mentions something about "incarnate" and "contract" (or something like that) means there's something deeper here.
>>104342 and no, you can't "maybe" it.
| >>104351
I guess that's pretty true. Shepherd is more of a personality disorder thing. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this, we will see.
| >>104403
Okay, that clicked a nice story in my head. I guess you won't be doing a supernatural run on this?
| I'm not so ell versed or inspired by supernatural, and Im basing it in reality. maybe the new personality can be split of in to a new body? IDK...
| I'd describe Shepherd as a coping mechanism.
| >>104410
Basing it in reality, hm. You can make it that way, but the "incarnate" made me think of a deal with an entity larger than whar we know of.
We can work on this, let's see how it goes either way then.
| Just as what was his focus at the time, he was saving a kid from SoF, and had to pretend. The Shock and trauma of the explosion engrained the faked personality in to his head, to cope with the loss of his hand.
| >>104423
Oooh. That makes more sense now. It's great that we probably don't have to go supernatural on this. I can't let Cain be left alone with an unfixable problem and her boss missing his sanity.
| trust me, I hate supernatural shit.
| >>104554
We're in the same page. I do love "technology being mistaken as supernatural" though. It makes for a great twist.
| I've given the whole dissociative disorder topic a read, and it seems that my justification makes sense. Just got to wait for Shepherd to go AM.
| >>105193
Should I start making Uni carry around antidepressants whenever she's around AM/Shepherd? Haha.
| Depression is a symptom of Dissociative disorder, but apparently, the way to "fix" AM would be to combine his Shepherd persona in to his AM persona.
| That would be optimal, but too long and hard. I haven't touched my psychology in a while... I got one better, we split them completely.
| Yep. It will be interesting making an actual dynamic between the two.
| it's possible in va11-hall-a's own lore, technically.
there is lots of talk of uploading consciousness and stuff
y'all have an interesting setup here I should lurk your threads lol
| ALL IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE! I mostly come up with stuff on the way, because other people or random variables can change things.
| After this Operation with Neon, I don't know who will wake up, AM or Shepherd. I really should have named Shepherd something like Paragon Magnus, because of the symbolic AM PM.
| >>105310
You can totally still name him Shepherd because Shepherd can fit in the middle of "AM" and become "ASM" (a short for computer language "Assembly" — which happen to also be defined as "to gather in one place.")
I'm revealing this here because Uni has no idea about all this, so I can't just make her know it.
| Talking about Assembly, ever heard of HCF?
| It's just funny. Halt and Catch Fire. I kinda wish that was an actual command in ASM.
| >>105328
CS class would've been much better if that were the case.
"Don't forget to Halt and Catch Fire in this block."

| Hey, This is just a shout to whoever controls Uni. You should take the reigns of the story and the hunt, because I still haven't gotten AM to get out of the safe zone.
