...Okay, but like.  Vector manipulation.

That requires substantial parallel processing to pull off the grand feats seen in the work you're thinking of.

...Fair point, but even so!

...Surely kinetikinesis and (auto?)biokinesis don't have to compete outright?  ...If they're even sticking with fleshyness in the long term!

...It's probably more resilient.

...Yeah, as much as potential mythical heritage would be --

Oh shit.

...They're not going to find out about that.  There's no way it would be balanced.  (For all that 'balanced' would have sounded like a swear if she said it aloud.)

And yet.  She does wonder.

Permalink

...It can't come to that, and they can't be cynical enough to push for it, even in the face of everything.  To taint that joy with this sorrow...  No.  So any related questioning is quite thoroughly mooted in their case, even as they do find themselves wondering what the System might do for those who aren't at all homo sapiens sapiens on the inside.

...You do know that humanity is a convenience for her, yes?

Permalink

But it is a convenience.

They are absolutely not doing that, and if they need to try anyway they'll do it through her.  She was an oread originally.  And still probably is, she imagines, though she hasn't tested it recently.  They could try picking that up if they needed to have something extra.

...She could be an alien space goat.

...Right now, none of them are anything.  And that probably isn't going to change for a while unless she pulls an Eide out of her ass for Ophelia, if you'll pardon her language.  They need to prioritize short-term survival somewhat, and she's pretty sure that...

Well, it's unlikely that they can just suddenly become Intra.  Even if biomancy is in the immediate offing, scientia potentia est and they know that they know nothing about biology!  Best to get something they've put a lot of thought into weaponizing to start with and then grab for nice-to-haves.

Permalink

...They're not going to forget about it, though.  They only have so much left before they...

Permalink

Oh fuck that's.  Oh gods ew ugh she really hopes that that's already taken care of, she can hardly tutorial otherwise!

Permalink

Maybe the System will be nice about this.

Permalink

...It may be undue optimism, but some of the signs really probably do point to yes.

Permalink

...oh hey there comes their music around on repeat again.

You may be well served in several of your terminal values by choosing Major Point powers designed to support learning and using [Getarian-Tradition Biomancy] with a specialization in [Neurology]. This is an ability tree that allows using magic to make permanent, stable changes to biological systems, including your own body. It may be possible to eventually create multiple embodiment, and/or mental separation distinct enough that the System recognizes additional users.

While it is possible to use points for direct System-backed changes to your body, pursuing deeply felt long term goals via your own hard work usually generates high quality Experience.

The Tutorial is a unique opportunity to learn and take risks in a relatively controlled and safe manner. Failure to complete Tutorial events in time will result in being removed from the Tutorial. Imminent lethal or disabling damage will result in being removed from the Tutorial.

Hm.

"This is very interesting and we thank you for the information."

"I believe that we're good to go on with?"

Permalink

All Tutorial participants should consider the future they want to pursue during the Tutorial. 

When you are ready, please select a solo Tutorial challenge and proceed through the door. After several solo challenges and at least one group challenge, your free Level Up will become available, and the tutorial will continue with specialized modules for your chosen Major Point ability.

[Very Easy Combat] [Easy Traversal] [Easy Crafting] [Easy Academic] [Easy Intellectual] [Hybrid]

"Can we do more than the requisite number of Tutorial challenges?  And how much guidance is provided?  For instance, I barely know that I'm not supposed to put my thumb in my fist if I'm going to punch something..."

"...Just.  Good grief, this is a much tougher choice than I feel like it ought to be."

Permalink

You can do up to three solo challenges before the first group challenge. Basic guidance is provided, but excessive guidance reduces your learning potential.
