Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alright guys! Here are the ideas that were sent to me. They all are great and have potential, but I want to discuss them before we vote.

Those that posted the ideas will remain anonymous. Read them, post how you feel about each one and which one (as of now) you would choose. Official voting till take place in a few days.

1. A large electromagnetic pulse is sent out from an unknown source, which does intense damage on the memories of all Aekean automatons. This causes havok, both in the many factories of Aekea due to machines gone haywire... and in the personal lives of many aekean Cyborgs and Androids, who struggle now to remember the lives they had... or if they wish to resume the life they once lived. (All humans/cyborgs with completely human minds are unaffected, albeit cyborgs with completely human minds may have difficulty controlling limbs.)

2. My idea comes form the basic premise of the guild itself: equality. I think the characters should go through struggles where they aren't such prominent members of the community. Also, for the geographic features of the town, I think instead of it being a modern metropolis with a library, coffee shop, Arkham Asylum styled hospital, it should be more of what it looks like an industrial construction complex. there's smog in the air, scrap metal buildings, and a big thick concrete barrier with one entrance/exit. The average people we should see who aren't fixing up their car or buying furniture for their house are welders and engineers, and other robots. The town is hardly habitable, so why don't we bring it up as a conflict in the story? It's conflict between characters, guards who are intent on keeping mechanical kind within the walls, subjecting them to harsh environments.

3. Machinery has been animated! Androids deal with voices in the back of their mind not from themselves... Factory machinery revolts... Cyborgs deal with limbs with a literal mind of their own. If Barton thought they had it bad, it's nothing compared to Aekea; and is it strange that these surges of animation seem to be getting worse...?

4. The goverment had finally agreed to allow "mechanical children" into areas outside of Aekea, but a group of rogues had attempted to take over barton. with a quick interference by the guards and a few [NPC's] the attack was quelled and Mech Children had been sent to be "Deactivated" or sent back to Aekea to be reprogrammed to follow every order, but as this continues a few Mechanical Children manage to escape "The relocation" with the help of a few [NPC's].

The pulse for those who are completely robotic would have their minds wiped by the magnetic pulse. Sort of like a magnet over a computer. Those of use with mechanical bodies but human brains would have problems working the non-human body parts. 3nodding

Option two is more like day to day living in Aekea, but in the more realistic Aekea. It's stated that the town is inhospitable to most Gaians. As we have portrayed it so far it almost is like a metropolis of sorts. But if you LOOK at the town map it is anything but. There is scrap metal on the streets, humans don't spend much time outside (and what they do, they have to wear masks), and the environment is suffering (although there is some green).

Living in Aekea is NOT easy. The concept is to show people how Aekeans live. How dedicated we are to our town, what we'll put ourselves through in order to thrive.

According to Aekea law, robotic kind (unless allowed specifically by the government, and this is in strict situations) is not allowed to leave the town. Those of the Aekean guard would be in charge of keeping us inside at all costs. Some members are part of the guard, and it could cause some nice character conflict.

Yes, in fact I do have a very human brain. Slightly damaged from the accident, so I have some memory loss. But otherwise in perfect condition.
