The Defenders OOC

And since there is no such thing as a perfect EMP hardening, so the question of EMP hardened nanobots is impossible, due to it being too small. There is also a limited amount of space on a machine that small, which makes is impractical to do so anyway.

In order to be completely realistic they would need to be biobots, with their hard structure made out of carbon nano structures and their soft structures being more like modified cells. Although how they would work would need to be completely different than how mechanical nanobots would function.

However, a certain degree of pseudoscience is allowed under the possibility of a substance being created far into the future with those capabilities making the nano bots possible, as this is rated a Sci-fi. However the pseudoscience should be kept to the bare minimum for what is needed to get the desired power. I think we can let this slide on the grounds of the material no existing yet. (if it did, it would only be possible because of nano-structuring similar to what makes graphine work so well as a conductor. (which would have been considered impossible to the same extent 50 years ago)

In essence, this RP will run on...

That about sums it up. I like your way of thinking Godmod, but I had posted exactly why EMP proofing a nanobot wouldn't work plain and simple.

The thickness of insulating material needed to EMP proof something is not on the nano scale.

If you want a comparison the amount of insulation needed to completely stop an electromagnetic pulse is thousands of times greater than the entire nanobot.

Sounds reasonable, I have no problem with pseudoscience as long as it is acknowledged as such.


And Allen that's just great. Metal Gear rocks.

So long as the pseudoscience isn't blatantly obvious, then it is tolerable.

Basically.

Scientific Slenderman:

Teleporting/space warping: This cannot be accomplished by a biological creature. The end. No exceptions. Which is why you're whole 'I'm from the 5th dimension' thing would make this work. Except saying dimension is the same thing as saying direction of movement. So it would be similar to saying 'Hi, I'm from left.' Which is why since you're treating it like a place, the phrase 'I'm from the 5th brane' would work better and be scientifically accurate. We live in a 3brane universe which means that there are 3 layers of strings. These make up your standard directions of movement of dimensions, and since the 4th dimension refers to time, which is a measurement of the duration we exist on the 3 branes and thus does not actually exist there are only 3 branes. Which are technically places as they are made of physical objects or energies known as strings.

(Super condensed Mtheory if anyone cares ^)

But anyway, if you are going to exist in a 4th or 5th or 6th branal plane, your existence in our 3brane is more like an avatar. You're avatar can be damaged the same way anyone else can be damaged. The only difference is that you can control close end strings. What those are also known as are higgs bosons. And with all those articles going on about the newly discovered higgs particle, I'm not going to bore you with a 3 paragraph explanation unless you ask me for it. Basically, you can mildly warp space around your avatar. and not an exact bubble ether because the mechanism (think solar system sized [or larger] particle accelerator here) used to control the higgs bosons from another brane wouldn't be very accurate and higgs bosons are weakly interacting particles so good luck getting them to stick around.

You could basically use this to move particles near you around creating high mass blobs of matter and complete void bubbles. This could potentially give you the ability to create exotic matter (along with a massive amount of entropy and Hawking radiation which you could pseudoscience away back to you're pocket universe particle accelerator using something like very tiny wormholes created by the said exotic matter) which would explode very violently and/or allow you to warp space and time slightly as if creating a very weak wormhole around yourself so that your character could reach a few seconds to possibly a minute or so into the past and future. Giving the appearance of the said tentacles. You could do something like in matrix also where you slow everything down around you using the higgs bosons like matter magnets and the exotic matter as a controlled high intensity fusion allowing severe warpage of space because of how condensed you could theoretically get it by removing the radiation and entropy build up.

So... lots of time travel esque pseudoscience that is possible within the laws of general relativity and quantum theory and is supported by M theory but is not really feasible in reality unless you just happen to own a black hole, and a bigass particle accelerator next door to the restaurant at the end of the universe.

Oh, and using the whole higgs boson thing, you can control gravity to an extent.

I think that might be a little much for this RP, props to you for putting it all together though.

I get bored relatively easily and had bothered to memorize all that quantum mechanics CENSORED for a functional time machine module capable of carrying live occupants without killing them so I might as well use it for something.

But yeah, it probably is a bit much as it would imply the Operator's slenderman character could very well be just a wooden puppet controlled by an entire race of beings like their version of a mars rover.

However I'm just in charge of scientifically explaining ways of creating whatever powers people want to give their characters so its up to Maxx to take my results and decide whether or not its OP.

*begins typing character sheet*

*continues typing*

*googles some facts*
:l
*checks the discussion on OOC then throws away character sheet*
I have to agree with Nick, here. (even though I do have a character sheet all made) If you make it too scientifically realistic.... won't it be harder to have fun and get in posts? I was planning on joining and I may still, but honestly... at the moment I feel stupid after reading all the posts on here XP
Give me a day or two though... I'll probably still end up submitting the sheet XD

You don't have to come up with something scientific. All you need to do is give me the power traits you want and I can do all the science-y stuff and tell you how you could have whatever power and just some basics on what you could and could not do with it. You don't need to do really any research if you don't want to.

What was the power you wanted anyway? I'm sure I can come up with something.

I already have it planned out and such but now I've been thinking of doing another character sheet instead since the idea I had was something of a vice versa version of Maxx's first character. The original one wa like this one technologically advanced species and the character had their heart and mind put into an artificial body in an experimental attempt to prevent aging. Of course the heart and mind can still age, but the character doesn't appear to be aging on the outside. That's not the main ability of the character though but a lot of the abilities were close to Maxx's character so I decided against it.

The idea I'm now thinking of is a psionist like my OC in the othergrounds, Crystal. Only this one would be a hardcore one with more of the stereotypical Psionic stuff. The original idea of PSI control is that with humans only using part of their minds, psionist a are able to use more of their mind then normal and unlock abilities that have to do with the mind that can range from trance abilities suh as mind reading to burst abilities to enhancing certain aspects

This idea has never been proven, however

Okay, I think I took this realism thing WAY too far. I'm going to talk with Godmod some and most likely loosen the rules some to allow a wider range of powers. I'm sorry if anyone threw their sheets away because of this, but honestly the scientific discussion in this thread has even passed over my head. The last page or so would sound like total gibberish to me if I didn't hang out with Godmod so much (she pretty much already told me all this BS).

In addition, since there was such a big pissing match over it I'm just going to EMP-proof 420's chip (or at least partially EMP-proof it and maybe some parts are better protected than others like the nanobots). Also, I'm screwing around with Myre's Helios Boots some because after talking it over with Godmod I realized that there is no way I can make anyone here believe that a pair of shoes could let you survive a 30 foot fall without breaking anything.

In addition to the addition, I would like to note that just because your character is extremely complex doesn't mean that you have to understand exactly how they work. If you have the theory behind it (what Emma said), you just need to understand exactly what those things would do. You don't need to be a physics expert.


In a nutshell, I'm tweaking my power restrictions some, am fixing Myre and 420's respective sheets, and don't ragequit just because you're not a genius like Godmod. Very few people are as smart as her on Earth in general.

I think that's a good call, not that I had a problem with it. I enjoy scientific debate, but this isn't really the place for it. Anyways less restrictive rules rules means I can make a more interesting character.

I changed the rules. Basically now characters can have a wider range of powers as long as they more or less make sense.

Name: Enomily
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Species: An unknown close relative of humans.

Appearance: http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Digitalism-389452982

Personality: Well, she is a 7 year old little girl, so she has all the usual interests; Cake, ice cream, burps, farts, dinosaurs, toads, bugs, mud, dismembered poly pockets and hide and seek. However, if Enomily was just your standard little girl she wouldn't be in this RP. She is like 420 in that she has a surgically implanted neural chip that allows her to communicate with any electronic mentally as long as that electronic is hooked up to the internet. As a result, she is an extremely well learned 7 year old because she can have google up and running in her brain pretty much at all times. This means that while she is often aloof and silly like most children, she can deduce what you're thinking from you facial expression, do a image match search on the internet for that particular kind of ink on your forefinger and find where its manufactured, its chemical make up and all the places its been sold to within the last 4 months. She can also access classified information on anything, because she can hack into that NSA database using all the techniques on the internet simultaneously. So, in a way, she is smarter than Exo. Her chip is different however in that it is somehow fully EMP proof even though that technology doesn't exist. This is because her [Data Redacted] is really [Data Redacted] and she [Data Redacted] Which means that if you were to [Data Redacted]. She is really [Data Redacted] and if she were to [Data Redacted] it would cause all the [Data Redacted] so in short [Data Redacted].

Abilities: Enomily can hack into any electronic devise connected to the internet anywhere near here before you can say 'Trojan Virus!' Aside from that, she has the ability to electrocute people by touching them if she chooses, because of the [Data Redacted] they did when she was [Data Redacted] and is extremely strong for her small size due to muscle adaptations of her species that differ from the muscle structure of our own. This is similar to the muscle fibers that are missing in humans and present in chimps that makes them up to 3-5 times stronger. As a result, Enomily's arms are a bit longer and thicker than a humans. So, even though she's a little girl, she could break your arms and legs if you took her lollypop at the wrong time.

Weaknesses: She's a little girl. You shoot her in the head she's probably going to die. That doesn't take a genius to figure out.

Weapons: Again, she's a little kid. She only has two concealed blades, two concealed .45 magnum shredder pistols. Not any of you're fancy sci-fy gizmos that could poke your eye out.

Other: Ze Flesh.


I know there are a lot of info gaps but I don't want to give away any of her backstory so I can't tell you anything besides the fact that there is an extensive one which you will find out about later.

Perfecto. accepted. I know all the gaps so it's fine.

Name: Exo

Age: unknown.

Gender: It (asexual specifically)

Species: Acirian

Appearance: ( http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Exo-376777864 )

Personality: Exo is what one might call a pessimistic optimist and an introverted extrovert as well as an analytical genius with a PHD in the art of being an annoying git. This basically means that it finds it humorous to put a negative or sarcastic spin on normally positive things and makes often cliché jokes about stuff that's supposed to be deadly serious. Its also got a nasty tendency to complain about anything that's even slightly annoying to it. Such as sitting somewhere with nothing to do longer than 5 and 1/2 seconds. Or if someone is being ignorant or otherwise stupid or disinteresting you can expect to be griped at until Myre yells at it to shut up, in which case it'll start griping at him instead.

Probably the worst of its extroverted behaviors is its obsession with experiments. It doesn't matter what experiment, where that kind of experiment is supposed to be conducted, or even how its supposed to be conducted. If it says in bold print, 'FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY' you can expect to see whatever it is being used anywhere and everywhere with no regard whatsoever to things like SAFETY and COMMON SENSE. As a result, Exo's house looks more like a weapons testing facility crossed with a laboratory filled with anything from dangerous chemicals to biohazardous materials/cultures. And then we've got the part where its actually a time machine which isn't perfect and glitches a lot in rather dangerous ways. Which is why its really good thing Exo is regenerative, because if it wasn't it would have inadvertently killed itself a long long time ago without any help from any antagonistic force.

However, the fact that it knows it can survive most of its highly dangerous experiments if they go wrong, basically means that if you try to explain even the most basic form of common sense to it, you might as well be speaking another language. As a result, it tends to put other people at risk by simply being in the same room as them, because you never know what new thing its been dying to test. Does that mean it will intentionally put chemicals in your drinks? yes. Does it mean it will do something like throw a cup that says 'Best Boss in the World' across the room and yell “LIAR! YOU JUST WANT TO BE PROMOTED TO A HOT CHOCOLATE MUG! YOU MANIPULATIVE LITTLE GIT!” just to see what everyone in the area would do? yes. Does it mean that its likely to test some new weapon it created (which may or may not violently explode/spray acid/turn into a singularity/spew poison gas) the second things get disinteresting? yes. Does it mean that it will do pointless 'experiments' like drawing faces on melons and putting them in someone else's microwave so they explode and break the microwave, or throw objects out windows so they break into a million different pieces? Yes, and it's not always limited to just inanimate/non organic objects.

Basically, it treats the universe(s) like a gigantic contained experiment(s).

Thats the extroverted part.

The introverted part ties into its analytical nature as well as its freakish inability to fully trust anyone. Its not so much that it doesn't trust that your on its side, more that its convinced itself that your judgement is flawed. This especially goes for Myre, who has an annoying tendency to lose his focus around women. As a result, it treats everyone like they're on a need to know basis when it comes to its plans and observations. It does a good job of hiding this though through excessive use of sarcastic humor and often nigh indecipherable overly scientific or symbolic explanations, or stupid 'experiments'. Which is just as, if not more, irritating than knowing that it will never fully trust you, or anyone or anything.

This also gives the illusion that it finds it funny to lie to people and withhold critical evidence. Which it uses to further hide the fact that it simply doesn't trust anyone but itself, and even that bit of its certifiable Godcomplex isn't free from frequent scrutiny. Basically, its annoying extroverted side is its tinfoil hat that prevents the aliens from taking over its mind.

All this paranoia and deviously devised hide buttons (Or some might call them coping mechanisms) are self inflicted because it honestly believes that having emotions clouds judgement, and that the only way to maintain its obsessive compulsive attention to detail, and how to never ever ever be wrong, is to not have any. As a result, it thinks of itself as some kind of Spock who intentionally displays a set of ridiculous emotions and tendencies to make its 'true intentions' imperceptible. Which, is hypocritical because it most certainly does have emotions, but all of its coping mechanisms are tailored to hide them from itself in plain sight. Not purge itself of them. As a result, it actually lies to itself more than it does to everyone else.

Abilities: Regeneration, using the same techniques as the sea creatures Hydras and the aquatic salamanders Axolotls except drastically accelerated. This is possible because an Acirian's cells are entirely metamorphic and never enter a set state which means they're basically made of cancer. The only reason the cells stop dividing is because of something called a kamikaze motor protean which is basically a cell kill code. Except instead of simply killing the cell it causes it to revert to all the basic components that make up a cell and enter the blood stream and form blobs of undeveloped stem-cell material called blastema that can be turned into any kind of cell when given a DNA code to conform to. How an Acirian keeps from getting bigger and bigger because its cells keep copying themselves and forming blastema is because each cell contains only one DNA code to follow and will only release that DNA when that cell is destroyed so only one blastema 'cell' can receive that code and replace the dead cell which will be reverted into blastema.

How an Acirian doesn't slowly decrease in size because of this is due to the fact that their nervous system is completely different than almost all other creatures. Where a humans have motor neurons connected to bunches of tissue Acirians have a smaller version of those neurons that act as a extremely sensitive weight sensor or equilibrium. So if a few cells are missing somewhere and cannot send out their DNA codes the loss detection neurons will tell the surrounding cells to produce the DNA codes for the exact number of missing cells. This means that if you cut off an large enough section of an Acirian it will start converting itself into blastema and then convert that into a blob of the neuro tissue which will basically take in any nutrients around it and form more and more cells until it eventually creates a exact clone of the original Acirian. Well, not exactly exact, the neuro tissue will deviate slightly from the original module and allow for a slightly different Acirian.

Also, this has nothing to due with regeneration, but an Acirian's brain is not isolated to their skull. They have brain tissue capable of storing memories all throughout their bodies so when a section of them is damaged they can temporarily suffer symptoms of brain damage and can experience memory loss. However, if there is enough of that tissue damaged and it forms another Acirian that Acirian will have all the memories the original Acirian is missing. This is because if you can live for pretty much all eternity and only die when you are killed and that's extremely hard to do, you're going to run out of brain space around the 3rd century. So, yes, while attic theory is absurd when you're not at least semi autistic or have severe aspergers syndrome so you have 20% more neurons in you're prefrontal cortex and the same amount of memory space as every other human on the planet, its completely necessary if you live long enough that eventually you run out of space and start suffering from short term memory loss. So, since Acirian's would easily run into that problem they were created with extra memory space so they only suffer the affects of short term memory loss if they live for more than 3 thousand years. So, yes, Acirians do tend to limit what they learn after a certain point or start saving memories to a external system like a hard drive.

Weaknesses: High potential for memory loss, can be killed with a overdose of kamikaze proteins and several other toxic substances that attack the nervous system. Its just going to take a lot more of that then it would for other creatures. Exo can also be 'out dumbed' as Maxx put it on one of his character sheets, but you're going to have to try pretty hard and it will probably be a kamikaze move on your part.

And most importantly; brains.

Other: Ze Flesh.

And that has got to be the longest most in-depth explanation of regeneration that I've done so far.

EEEXCELLENT! So Celo sent me her sheet, so I'm probably waiting on one more person for the IC to start. If all goes well, it will be up by tonight.

the character sheet is long, complicated and- I know you see this word coming- derpish, but here was my original idea though I changed her abilities

Name: Ketryn 5273 (she’s just called Ketryn, though)

Age: 24 in human years

Gender: female

Species: Yarksonian

Appearance: Yarksonians have a large resemblance to humans. The only noticeable differences are that their skin never really tan unless revealed to an unusually large amount of sunlight and they are usually considered tall compared to average human beings. There are also different genetic colors for their eyes. Other than that, there’s no noticeable difference. Ketryn has an average-looking Yarksonian body at first glance. She is a little bit on the short side for her species at 6’0” and weighs around 342 lbs. (though she appears to be average weight for anyone, and this shall be explained later) Pale skin. She has common strait black hair that extends a little bit past her shoulders and has the most average Yarksonain eye color: orange. However, there are some noticeable, non-Yarksonian features that can be seen on Ketryn. There is a thing, glowing blue line that can be faintly seen that runs from right about where Ketryn’s left ear is attached to the skull to the middle of her forehead. There is also an alike line that runs from the top of her shoulder to the center of her chest.
Ketryn’s style of clothing is normal for both humans and Yarksonians. She usually just wears a light blue button down shirt (though it is usually unbuttoned) with a black tank top underneath. Katryn also wears some boot cut jeans with a pair of sandals.

Personality: A part of Ketryn’s emotional system was once damaged to make it where she can’t really react in a proper way to situations. Katryn usually seems emotionless unless it is the feeling of anger or fear- those are the only two feelings that she can properly communicate. Katryn feels all the other feelings a normal human or yarksonian feels, she just fails to communicate them. Whenever she feels happy or sad, her face is just expressionless. Katryn usually sees the logical side of things and anything she finds completely useless she prefers to avoid. However, she is very caring and kind, though it’s hard to tell this since the only expressions that she can be seen with are anger and fear.

Abilities (and her back-story… more or less): There are reasons behind Katryn’s strange differences compared to the rest of her kind and her thalamus being damaged. The Yarksonians are really a lot like an advanced form of the human civilization. Their technology is far more advanced, and so this is where Katryn’s story comes in.
The yarksonians were looking for ways to strengthen themselves, increase their life span, and avoid disease a lot more easily. (Being such an old civilization, there is a large population on the planet and disease easily spreads) Being so bent on technology, they eventually thought of a possible way to do so- place the human mind into an artificial life form. Many failures were made in this project and many lost their lives, but eventually they had a successful transformation- Katryn 5273. Her original name was Katryn, just an everyday female yarksonian, but her new body form was the 5,723 model made. It looked just like a normal Yarksonian- from the eyes to the hands, it even felt like a yarksonian (their skin feels like human skin, btw)- the only differences was the weight of her body since she is mostly metal on the inside along with the glowing blue lines on the forehead and on the chest. You see, these markings were how they opened up the areas for Katryn’s brain and heart.
One of the reasons that scientists kept failing the transformation from normal life form to partial robot was that they couldn’t keep the brain from going dead due to the lack of a heart to pump air. Even if the brain were still receiving energy from an outside force, such as a form of highly advanced electric charges, it would still go dead because it wouldn’t read a heart. It is almost like the power of suggestion being played on the mind- the heart is dead, so I must be dead *dies*. So the scientists working on Katryn’s body kept the heart connected, and made it to where highly advanced pulses were being sent to both, telling both the mind and heart the other was alive and to keep going. In the movement from the normal body to the artificial body, however, there was a part of the artificial body that had a glitch and couldn’t perceive many emotions. So that explains her personaility
Okay, now that I’ve explained how Katryn came to be, I’ll FINALLY explain her abilities XD
Katryn’s artificial, robotic body (which I’m going to go ahead and say is EMP and water proof) has several advancements that a normal Yarksonian body doesn’t (and a yarksonian body is just like a human being’s) the robotic body gives her a stronger immune system, since is makes the only two possible things that can be harmed by bacteria nearly untouchable. Also Katryn doesn’t age. Actually, she has been 24 for two years. Katryn has above average strength, sight, and hearing. She also has a large tolerance for pain, since the only parts of her that feel pain are the mind and the heart. Another advancement in Katryn’s system is that with her eyesight there is also a targeting system connected to her brain that helps her with targeting objects. No, this does not mean she has perfect aim. Her aiming is above average, however.

Weaknesses: Being mostly metal, Katrryn has a different way of getting energy aside from food, and that’s from electricity! *derp* Every twenty four hours Katryn must be plugged into some sort of electrical outlet or receive some form of electricity for eight hours or else her system will go into standby, only focusing on giving the heart and mind energy and not allowing her body to move at all until she receives some electricity. Also Katryn’s body is extremely vulnerable to really high or low temperatures. Strong amounts of heat or a large lack of heat can greatly harm her circuitry and first cause glitches such as flinching and mispronunciation of words, then sudden, quick shut downs, and eventually death. Katryn can be killed just like anyone else, as well. The only diffenece is that getting a bullet or knife into her make be harder with her insides being mostly metal. Her skin feels human, er, yarksonian, though XD All that needs to happen is a few snips of the wire and then she is dead.

How she gets recharged!
there's a wire inside Ketryn's left palm.  She can do something like "open" her left hand and take out the wire which can change into various types of plug ins for various types of electrical inputs. (So she could get energy frog a car with two jumper cables, energy the old fashioned way with a plug in outlet, etc.)

Okay, I’m making this confusing XD

Weapons: (special thanks to canis_dirus for suggesting this to me cause I dot know weaponology) a glock 20 with the ammunition holding a full metal jacket
She has two of those! *derp*
Ketryn also carries a long dagger for just in case emergencies
Other: flesh


Basically- a cyborg I guess

Interesting... but how would a machine function via a heart? Why keep the heart there in the first place? It would seem to me that just replacing the heart with a robot and using AI brain mapping to basically upload her mind into a computer would be easier. Either way, it's accepted.

name: Athena
age: has the mental age of a 28-year-old, but was created about two years ago
gender: female
species: Artificial Intelligence

Appearance: Technically, Athena is a white bluetooth-like object in Myre’s right ear. The object resembles a hearing aid crossed with a Bluetooth, and is grey with the letters IGIA on it in silver. However, that is not all that Athena is. She has her own “body” which appears whenever she is plugged into any electronic device with a hologram projector or appears in a window on a HUD (like Cortana in Halo). Athena appears as a female human, her height indeterminable due to her electronic existence and her weight nothing, of course. She has a slim, attractive build, and could be considered curvy by human standards. Her skin is a mint green color when she appears on holograms. Her hair is that same green color and falls down to about halfway down her back. Her face is rather modern-looking, with darkness under her eyes and soft, rounded features. Athena wears a long flowing strapless dress in her hologram form that is the same color as the rest of her.

personality: Athena is an interesting personality. She is a relatively amiable being for a military AI, and is often very kind and courteous to people, though can easily be offended. She’s a rather passive individual, and seems to easily shut down and give in to demands. She hates arguing more than anything. Another hatred of Athena is that she’s a robot. You see, Athena was made so well that she’s like a normal human trapped in a robot’s body, causing her to often become depressed as she doesn’t have a life of her own to live. Athena wants more than anything to just be able to experience the world outside of a bluetooth or a hologram projector. She is an incredibly smart girl, and loves to learn, also torturing her because she cannot touch anything. She only know cold from hot by temperature readings. In addition, there was a slight... flaw in Athena’s design. You see, because she has feelings, she has the ability to develop attraction towards others (ie, love). Somewhere along the way, she fell in love with Myre. Of course, if she ever told anyone that she’d be decommissioned, but she still does and because of that would do anything for him.

abilities: Being a machine, Athena has a few abilities that allow her to make Myre the espionage master that he is. Firstly, Athena can intercept and decode any radio message from pretty much everywhere so long as it’s on the same planet as she is. Athena can connect to the internet to perform web searches, access the IGIA database, take control of electronics within a twenty foot radius of her, and can access recon satellites to survey the terrain around Myre and the gang. Because of her ability to use satellites, Athena can communicate with anyone on Earth or the Moon.

weaknesses: Well, technically Athena is more or less useless without an operator. She doesn’t have her own body, and is technically just a computer program. Though she is slightly EMP-proof (it makes her personality matrix cause her to temporarily act like she has a migraine), waterproof, and heatproof up to 7,000 degrees (hotter than a nuclear explosion), it is vaguely possible to hack Athena given the right amount of training (it is NOT easy).

weapons: You cannot have weapons when you have no body.

Spoiler:

I have one more character to make, and then I'll start the IC. I'm not cutting off entries for quite a while, so anyone else can join after the IC is up. Please try to get the sheets in though.

As I said- the sheets derpish
The reason they couldn't do it without a heart is that all the last test subjects' minds would compute that the heart wasnt there, believe they are dead, and shut down. Plus uploading a mind to a computer yet still keeping emotions for it is basically impossible. Sure, the mind could process right from wrong, but emotions can't be downloaded to a computer. Computers can't feel anything
