Organic bio-tech/Concept of extraterrestrial samples

Hmm you do have a good point. I may add something of a mental power struggle to mix with having to control more predatory or prey like urges and instincts that come with the change. I mean I did forget to add the possibility of developing a split personality disorder if brain cell from the other creature were a part of the sludge creation. I might a few tidbits of trouble with adapting to a more computer based logical though process. I migth pull some weakness from a character I plan on making with this too.

Also do you have any ideas for some weakness or extra downsides to this change? Right now I'm think of adding memory loss or the possibility of forgetting who you were or losing the battle with creature inside you as possible side effects as well.

Hmm how about something like this. (Btw this is just a temporary experimental extension of the original idea until we reach a finalized version)

While the Biomorphs initial bond, and new found abilities and mental focus may seem like for the most part a bless at first they soon realize the real price of their the power they have gained. A price that may cost them everything as their new animistic instincts begin to emerge. Getting stronger and stronger each day forcing a more savage side of the biomorphs to come to light. This can result in blackouts where the biomorph seem to have lost time as hours may have gone by with them being unaware of what they've done for several hours. Sometime s occuring in their sleep where they would wake up in strange place such as trees, on the street, and sometimes in the home of another with smell of fresh blood feeling the air. 

For other however they may experience a different mental phenomenon such as hear one or more voices in their head pushing to give into their savage instincts to embrace them; or to let them take control for a while. Trying to convince them that it will be fun to let go for a while or to just leave all their trouble to someone else for a change. Besides who can you trust if you can't even trust yourself or well I guess you could say a part of you.

Both of these strange concurrences could be a tributed to the organic component of the Organic bio-tech. Once fully bonded with it's host dna from the creature cells involved in the creation of the variation of OBT that the host subject was bond with could dangerously affect the host's mind infecting it with the primal urges of the creature or creature that the OBT's organic cells came from. Leaving the host in with a constant battle of wills to keep themselves from giving into the primal urges of the beast or beasts within them. A struggle that becomes even harder as in some cases the instinctive urges or the former host creature become intertwined with memory's from the bonded hosts past as well as mixing together with the added mental capacity the host had gained from the tech involved in the merge resulting in the creation of a new personality in the host's mind. Making the struggle for them to remain who they are or were on the inside that much harder. As some of  these extra personalities are cold and calculating seeing themselves as the superior force of will in the body, and will try to take over considering the original personality obsolete. While other will remain in check but will constanly be watchig and waiting for the slightest slip in the host will power before they make their move to take over. Then their are rare few extra's that develop who can be reasoned with and can agree to share the body but the stress of having two minds in one body can be alot to bear so they will eventually try to merge themselves with the original host to allow the both to continue you own living as one in their new body.

So if the bonded host of OBT manages to survive the initial merge they still have a constant fight on their hands for survial in their own body. However the effects of the let say donor organism's dna are less by the amount of OBT there is during the initial merge. If there is very little material during the original merge biomorphs have a higher success rate of survival, but weaker abilites than they originally would have had and less change to their original form. They also are able to more easily resist the animistic urge of the donor creature. However the opposite is also true for those who come in contact with a great amount of OBT. Their struggle will be far greater and much more difficult.

However there are some biomorph who with constant meditation have the be able to lock away and supress their urge and secondary personalities. Although they must do so constantly to remain in control or they may risk losing themselves completely.

Hmm well I do have a biomorph character I plan to make called Tox (although the name may change). I have some one doing a commission for me of him currently while I take some time to think some thing through with his history and personality(ies). As well as how he managed to avoid capture for years since he becomes a biomorph and orphan around age 5. Also I have to decide or whether or not to use the idea where he kind of come to make a fragile compromise with his other personality or whether or not to just make it happen progressively as he notices that part of his development once he's officially been set a character here (Basically once I have his bio up and start doing things with him.)

As far a storyline ideas with this idea it's still up for debate since I don't think any concept of the Cyden government has been established in the threads yet. Like is it a world wide united government where all the countries have come together to make one single governing body that delegates power equally between individuals set to run the surviving areas where the main populace lives? Although before touching that subject we would probably need to see a map to decide which area of the world contain dead or radioactive zones, which have livable areas, and which have the neutral wasteland or new wild lands in between. Afterwards we'd need someone to actually build and set up a system of government or systems of government, and work with thejman to decide how major criminal organizations like th e skull are being dealt with or not being dealt with. 

Then maybe do a brief overview of currency and how business and trade work. That would help with members who's characters have set up some kind of business. Although there could be some other things that I missed I think touching up on these subject could help things to start to flow better with my concept and maybe the concepts of other member's characters as well. Although for right now the only current thing I have with this concepts is the idea of my character Tox and just now maybe a government task force that's in charge of capturing Biomorphs under the claim of them being dangerous criminals or people infected with a very rare and dangerous disease. Although that may be a work in progress thing for now.

Hmm well the substance technically isn't off world since it'screated inside the adio-active dead zones on cyden. It can however be made suing cells and tissue samples from the remains of extraterrestrial creature bought back from other planets during the space rush. 

Also I'm glad you liek the idea because I was thinking of using you character Agany in a character I'm makings backstory and maybe history if I do a story with him. I was just waiting to post him until the art is finished, and then ask you about it. I figure doing it as a collaboration would make things seem more real and would make it easier to do the character justice.

Ok great. The original character I plan on doing this with is still being worked on... well the art for him is. Everything else I just have to pull together on paper or maybe in a thread (just like get the visual in with it too). I'm going to probably pull everything together into a more official thread or maybe into the first post from the Organic bio-tech in the next couple of days. Then maybe start experimenting with some new bio-morph idea as well.
