Name:Synapse Uplink Pod
Appearance:These are pods other sapient life are forced into. On the outside, its just a pod big enough for a large organism to be inside, with a non-see through covering. On the inside, however, the organism's found themselves trapped in a pod(duh), but can see outside as the pod's material only prevents light from escaping, not entering(like a two way mirror). A set of biological cables have forced their way through their skulls, and they find all muscle movement simply impossible, as well as anything else below the neck. They are only able to survive because they're made to breath artificially, and they cant move because the part of the brain that sends out neural commands is heavily damaged with a varient of the Killer Cell caste designed to target that kind of tissue only. However, they can still move their jaws and eyes; other than that, complete paralysis.
Nicknames:None; nobody has ever seen one and not been the one inside, and none lived to tell about it.
DNA:A extremely precise code of Lorcar DNA. So very, very precise.
Description:These are one of the most terrifying peices of Lorcar Biotechnology in existance. Its purpose is very simple-To collect and literally dismantle the mental structure of a living organism placed into it. All their memories, their knowledge, dismantled and downloaded into a single hub at the center, which sorts out the data and deletes non-useful data, like personalities, feelings, ect. All while the subject is concious; able to feel it while their brain is slowly, painfully drained of its mind. Worse, there's no chance to attack its mind like this; your mind is dismantled and taken apart while they do this; literally destroyed. Good news, however, is that they are difficult to produce for the Lorcar, and it takes a while. They are thus only found in the slave camps of Maltruse and upon Bioships. Knowledge gained is used to allow the Lorcar insight into enemy tactics, and to allow Biomechs to take tech.

Name:Hive Drones
Appearance:(http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/images/me2_collectors.jpg)
Nicknames:They're occasionally called drones or workaholics, since they dont seem to respond to much...Even a intruder in their base. In fact, they're sometimes reported to be somewhat nice, and helpful.
DNA:They have a lot of spliced DNA, using most of the best parts of the DNA used to regulate mental strength, brainpower, and intelligence.
Description:Dont be fooled by their kindly additudes. These are powerful Psykers, so powerful that they could probably tear a fighter, maybe even a corvette apart from a large distance away. This is because they are transmitters of the Hive Mind. While independant, their brains are mainly used to keep the Pseudo-Hive Mind of the Lorcar from being seperated, even at the distance of a few solar systems. While indeed friendly if not provoked, they are extremely powerful, and should not be taken lightly. They sometimes perform mundane work and attend to the Synapse Pods.
Name:Hive-General
Appearance:(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100724160207/masseffect/images/0/04/Me2harbinger.png)
Nicknames:Bug-Commanders, Hive-Lords
DNA:Same as the Drones, actually.
Description:These are the Generals of the Lorcar. They have a degree of free will, but are fiercely loyal to the Brood King. They can forcefully take control of lesser Lorcar on a battlefield from orbit, using them as if pieces in a chessgame. They oversee all major operations, and each one has a distinct personality and leading style. One thing they have in common, though, is their affinity for the Drones, which have very similar DNA to them. They can often be seen with Drones around them, speaking nonchalantly with them via the Hive Mind. They do possess the ability to unite the Lorcar in a single area into one Hive Mind, greatly improving Psyker abilities and coordination not usually seen among the Lorcar forces.

(20:53:16) Hikaru: You can't steal.
(20:53:24) Hikaru: You can copy or imprint. But memories can't be erased.
(20:53:52) Hikaru: They're always there, even with memory erasing spells or tech. They become repressed or put into subconscious.
Personality/feeling/who they are is more spirit than actual mind. You can imprint all this, but you can't literally steal the original. Knowledge falls under memories.. So yeah, sorry, no.
-
Its not taken from the spirit. Just the body. In any case, if it works, then the being is braindead. By 'memories' Im refering to the software in the brain, not spirit. Obviously the spirit wont be affected by physical damage, but the Lorcar Mind gains their important memories. The deletion is to prevent the memories or personality from coming together to hijack the Synapse Hub.
-
You said the mind is drained. You can't drain Personality, Feelings, Memories, and Thoughts, though, as that falls under consciousness which falls under spirit.
-
Its drained from the brain, which DOES actually have sections specifically for these things. The spirit is fine, but these things within the brain are no longer there, making it impossible for the spirit to act within the body. By your logic, amnesia is impossible in SP, as thats damage to the brain, not spirit.
-
Amnesia is impossible, as the fact it eventually comes back. But even if the brain is dead, or unconscious. The spirit is always awake. You can't drain the damn literal stuff from the brain/mind, it would only copy.
-
Amnesia is often caused by brain damage, though. But since what your saying is that the spirit would just restore those memories, that means the brain damage has near no effect. In this case, the brain death is caused by there being literally nothing stored in the brain anymore, meaning that biologically the being cannot think. Hik. I get it. The spirit has that stuff. However, the brain also would have that stuff, because there are parts of the brain specifically designed for it. Its only taken from the brain. Not spirit.
Also, hat about the other two?

You can kill the brain. But you can't literally take it from the brain. What you take would be an imprint.
-
Fine, whatever. Biologically its the same anyway, the brain wont be able to function without interference of the spirit. But thats normal anyhow.
And seriously, the other two? Second post in this topic.
-
Other two approved.
-
Alright...I've agreed about the Synapse Pod not being allowed to actually destroy memories(grrrr...) and instead just locks it by trggering multiple mental defenses when it forces its way into their mind, so what else do you need before it can be approved?
-
Approved, minus the minor bit about the Synapse Rod in the regular Drones. But, get the Synapse approved, and we'll say the whole Drone is approved.
-
Still waiting, Hik...Two posts above this is my edit.
-
I approve with the new edit.
