Cheese will be missed. He would've been a well-motivated ally if war ever broke out between humanity and the Draxans.
Or he'd start the war. Whatever works.

Yellow might want to do a bit more, but I think thats everyone (Cheese hasn't even tried). I'd rather wait for his say so. Actually I was kinda waiting for you. I thought I made it pretty clear that my character is playing the mental invalid in need of guidence. He is pretty dead set on that act so he is not going to take any inishitive that will blow his cover. So waiting for you and some hand holding/ confrontation. |

So... aside from giving props for the wordplay, I guess this is a rather pointless post/comment... |

I thought making a character that runs things and is everywhere at once would lessen my IRL need to run things and be everywhere at once! Gasp!

Yellow, I know it's probably supposed to be confusing, but the way Sutter refers to himself confuses me. He went between saying "my" and "we" and it just seems inconsistent. I guess that's kinda the point though, so that's good.

Yes its supposed to be confusing and inconsistent. Its also supposed to illustrate the difference between his sense of self pre LOTUS and post. Just roll with it till his bacterial count gets high enough.

For anybody wondering what I was talking about in my post, and being too lazy to google the terms yourself, here's the wiki pages for calciseptine and aphrodisiacs (where you can see bremalanotide). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calciseptineen.wikipedia.org/wiki/AphrodisiacNow that I think about it, I think Kyrie's the only character ATM who doesn't know about her abilities. |

My character's backstory involves him being put through trial runs of his powers by the Draxian renegades. Thats why he knows his own powers from the get go, also why he's paranoid to the point of playing the invalid.

Kyrie is the only one that actually started from scratch.

Huh. FML.
I'm cool with it though. It'll be fun.
Especially once we get more than two characters interacting at once.
*Thinks...*
Hey, if Cheese's character is on the America, and he's supposed to still be in hiding or whatever, and his character used to be a professor...
Both of my characters are the likeliest to be connected to him if he ever resumes existing. Neat.

Oh, so there are cars... I would've figured teleporters would make those obsolete. I guess the teleporters are only for going between ships?

They're more like outdoor transport pods than cars. Electrical and sustainable of course, but 21st century humans would still see them and think "cars". Its dangerous to have a lot of teleporting around for simple commutes since people end up with 4 arms and no spleen if the signals get crossed.
The Teleporting is done between ships and between districts. Humans mostly never go to the Fantasia though, and district hopping this way is for a fee.

And I'm guessing Draxans rarely go outside the Fantasia, aside from on business?

I enjoyed Manhattan's summary far more than I should've. So blunt. I like this guy.

So, HHD, given what you've already said, I think it's safe to say that:
1. Draxans can't whistle. Basing this off of their facial structure.
2. Their tastes in music would generally go towards stuff with lower tones, like Rap>Pop. Basing this off of their hearing range.
3. Draxans likely don't care about "sexualization," and thusly value physical appearance less than humans. Basing this off of your understandably bare-bones description of their reproductive methods.
Though I am wondering if that thing about chemical-detection being included in their sense of touch goes for their entire bodies, and if they can feel through their crystal attachments (you said those meld or something?).

Also, FML, just put some effort into figuring out Kyrie's theme, and realized Linkin Park's "Faint" works much better. Edited that in. Now I feel both themes are mostly appropriate.

Yay, more draxan building!
No draxans cannot whistle, but some can vibrate their vocal chord-like structures to make very low bass sounds that are kind of equivalent. Yes their music would generally be lower in tone. Yes, physical attraction factors much less into draxan mate selection, but only so far as humans think of it. Draxans don't care about shape or figure, but they do seem to care about the luminescent qualities of their body's crystals. For instance, the pattern they glow in, the shades of colour (some of which humans can't see), or the "texture" of light coming off of their bodies.
That's actually somewhat inspired by bats, and how they select mates based off of the texture of fur, which only they can accurately detect through echolocation.
The chemical detection would be everywhere, but more focused in the face and hands area. That being said, being sprayed by something repulsive wouldn't be utterly horrible since they wouldn't necessarily sense it as painful, just unpleasant. Imagine knowing when something smells bad by suddenly feeling sweaty. Kinda like that.
