How are Human/AI relationships seen/treated, romantic and parental kinds specifically. In addition what kind of citizen status do A.I.s have, and does human-ness or absence of a mobile body affect it? In addition how human-like can a robot body be?

"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."

Oh yeah Kkutwar, I've made up my mind. You're not having any major part in this RP. You can read it sure but you can't play in it at all.

I'll answer your questions at least

Human/A.I. relationships are treated quite mixed in the city. The same humans against cybernetic enhancements are also quite against A.I.s and having any form of a relationship with them.

A.I.s citizen status is treated the same as any ordinary human by the government, but they are required by law to identity as a robot/A.I.

As for how human like a robot body can be. They can look incredibly life-like but since their citizenship/identification forces them to identity as robots/A.I. it's hard to avoid a situation where the humanity is questioned.

Gonna need my fix on what LE Os are in the city.

So, JR, about Xander's girlfriend Misha, would I be playing as her too, or would you be controlling her? Should I post some info about her?

You created the character. I know nothing about her, so how would I write her?

So yeah you're playing her. You can provide info for her if you want.

Probably will do the same thing for Mark's immediate family.

I don't know if I will also control the traitor too when he comes into play.

Don't really have any good ideas, and I couldn't possibly jack this RP even if I wanted. Besides that, people are individuals so I would assume some anti-cyborgs would be pro-AI and vise versa. Though, since AI and robots have to recognizably be not human... How does the government react to (illegal) A.I.s and robots too recognizably human (if not outright indistinguishable)?

"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."

JR, anything else us (confirmed) RPers should know before we start?

I would say the presence of any VR sports might be useful to know. The names of bigwig cybernetics companies should be important. Oh, if any "ancient" media (as in present day) is still available in some form. Though it'll be kind of weird if everyone knew about that stuff.

"The Omniverse is the collection of all possibilities, and all possibilities must eventually come to pass."

No, everything's fine. I should have the RP up soon.

They would have them arrested and destroyed, but keep the illegal tech used to track down those responsible for creating the robots/AI

VR sports exist. The Network is meant to have nearly everything in it, including sports. This should be assumed.

And media from the past exists in the Network too, after all much like the internet in this day and age the Zero Network is filled to the brim with such media and fiction alongside education, games, work etc.

And lastly Kkutwar I don't want to see your presence anymore in this thread or any other to this RP. I'm already getting tired of answering your questions. So please I don't want to see you again in any thread.

Koolz! In case the RP progresses and I don't make a post Thursday/Friday +8 GMT time very soon, I'm trying to get make up time done for a test in my Japanese language class from a local Japanese foundation due to the time that I left to go abroad and handle personal stuff.

I'm getting a Summer Wars vibe from this.

Good to be back

Yeah That's ok. Stuff in real life should be more important than this RP anyway

I have watched Summer Wars, and while Oz and the Zero Network are considerably similar. Oz in Summer Wars isn't the first example of a wide range network in fiction.

I'm basing the Zero Network here more off The Wired from Serial Experiments Lain, The Matrix and the Net from Ghost In The Shell.

There's still hope for my part for a shootout among Public Security officers against them crooks.

I can't wait to use a Blatant Lies reason for PS to show up when Mark shows off his official PS badge.

So, um, when exactly is the RP gonna get started?

I'm working on my first post now. Be patient.

PATIENCE?!? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?

Here you guys go. Have fun.

HUZZAH! Hey, Nick, I'll let you post first.

Good to be back

Oooh, excellent. I'll post once I decide on how/where to start

“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

Awesome beans. Hey JR, you still alright with Mark working with a multinational public security unit in the city? 'Cause I'm gonna roll with that when I make my first post.

Yeah that's fine. I have no problem with it

And the first post by Xander, as he finds unique ways of using his Shapeshifter Weapon abilities.

Also, a lot of philosophy.

Hey, uh, the office Winters was in was supposed to be Xander's home, but no problem. I'll change.

Good to be back
