What to play?

What exactly would this quarantine zone look like? Something like the slums in a Judge Dress movie or like something out if the Division video games?

I like the Dredd slums idea. That's how I pictured it.

I dont even know the Division game

I don't know either of those. I pictured it similar to the walled of district in the Deep Space 9 episode where they go back into the 21st century xD

Berlin: 1961 ;)

Thanks Tao Daddy

Quick check (because I can’t remember...) are we rotating GMs and have an enemy per GM or so? Or are we focusing on a single evil entity?

We're rotating. And different episodes can have different villains, I would say

Tracy, if you are still interested in linking up characters, I would be up for it. We could go for either the siblings or the relationship angle.

With the way our characters are set up so far, we could have a nice dynamic of "I did it to protect you" - "I don't need your protection and never asked for it" going. What do you think?

That sounds awesome! She's in with some shady characters just like you are, maybe rival gangs? Maybe her gang is run by a super, so opposite of yours, and promotes based on super powers and willingness to "do what it takes to get the job done." She would be very willing to do whatever it takes.

We could be in a relationship. You joined the gang you didn't want to join to protect your loved ones, she joined the gang she wanted to be in to get ahead. We would have very different views on our very similar jobs.

I love that idea! There's a lot of potential in that

Poison bug man in live with poison kiss girl 👌 can’t think of a more toxic relationship 🤣
Just a quick (suggestion of) addition to the setting’s technology (i’ll rant about cloning at some point): gene editing, that is, the change of a single nucleotide base from the genome during development! Yes! Everyone can have yellow eyes and rainbow hair!!! (and cystic fibrosis was eradicated ;) )

Can I move my consciousness into another body with technology?

And if you do, would your powers come with you or stay in your old body?

This !

I'm personally not a fan of this idea for this setting but I'm okay with it if others want to have it in there. I'm just not sure how it fits in with the rest

First bowl... i’d say you’d change your superpowers or lose them altogether. This because we are going with the viral infection leads to superpowers, which suggests a very strongly biological root for superpowers. You can even have body snatchers going about stealing supers’ bodies by switching minds ... oops, that can actually be a plot!

For the original question, Mind transfer is obviously a technological nightmare but hey! It’s called sci-fi :D should we have some sort or database were minds can be uploaded and downloaded from? We’re already going with perfect cyberlimbs, I guess we can push that to accurate bionics with brain re-wiring technology (mind changing)

This would probably be a very big part of the setting if we decide to include this concept in the setting.
And I would say that only the rich and powerful have (voluntary) access to this technology

I guess it can also be a prototypical technology that is not widespread yet, if you guys want it to exist, but not define the setting
