Soooooo. I kinda need a villain, or villains, maybe even an organization, probably tech-based, who would have been interested enough in Alice's dad's, the original Electromancer's, gear. So much so that they tried looking for his home even when he had dropped off the grid and then killed him and his daughter to loot it. Probably old farts unless they have a successor or something (hey, Alice is Electromancer II after all!) For more info, see Alice's bio! Or PM me or reply here. Whichever. Haha.
That's it. I keep seeing these Spectre dudes but I don't know if they would be interested, haha.

In addition to the one above, which I'd really like someone to pick up, I'd like Alice to have a friend, not necessarily a vigilante, who would be able to provide her with robot bodies to possess, one way or the other; maybe they invent them, or they simply have the money, or some other thing. Of course it would be awesome if it had tactile senses and humanlike form, but beggars can't be choosers, haha.
Not sure if neo would be willing, considering she's villainous and doing so might just increase the chances for Alice to mess with her. Posidem's been saying GAEA could give her a body, too, but not sure how that'd affect her powers, and it's yet another gift from a villain, hahaha.
...also I guess I'll tag deads just to really ask if Spectre could be the suspects for the wanted ad in the first post. I hope this isn't too troublesome >.< Then again, if they are, it'd still be nice to have a definite villain within them who was in charge of the whole thing.

Electromancer you can definitely use spectre! they've gotten a bit magical lately, so it'll be nice to give them a good ol' fashioned evil return to their roots.

Electromancer Neo is game. All Electromancer really has to do is ask, and Neo will likely consider it an interesting challenge. In fact, she'll probably regularly call Alice back to make upgrades because she's gotten better ideas since the first iteration.
As an aside, I realized that Neo might've met Alice's father before he died? Neo's pretty young so the timeline might be awkward, but she's been specifically trying to meet people to collect knowledge for at least five years now. She would never have murdered him, but she could be interested in the murder.

Electromancer
i can provide Faust as an angle for Spectre to be involved; while i doubt Faust herself was involved in the murder, she could certainly know something about it. unless you have a set angle on what happened to the dad's body, its even likely that Faust keeps it within her collection and - haha surprise surprise - you might see it again.
alternatively, i'm working out plot deets with neo on a faust-neo relationship, and so if theres a neo-electromancer relationship in the works, that could easily have some crossed wires and meeting; faust would 100% be interested in the application of putting a DEAD THING inside a MAGITECH ROBOT BODY. for science.

Hrmmm. So, with this, I guess for now Alice could pester neo for a robot body XD still, will probably need a non-villainous source or repair friend in the future, when Neo makes Alice upset by killing someone!
And yeah, considering Alice and Neo are kinda near in age, it might be tricky for Neo and Alice's father to have met. She... skipped high school? Not sure if I'm reading this correctly. At around what age could Neo be around university conventions and stuff? Technically from 2008 Alice's father was retired, but he could have been called to lecture once or twice during that time... and he would definitely have been the sort of person who refused handshakes XD
Aaaand I guess that means the villain wanted ad can be related to Spectre! Yay.
EDITED IN BECAUSE MURDOC POSTED WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS:
...I love that GIF. Sooo much.
Yeah, Faust could be involved. It would still be nice if there was a specific villain from Spectre who had appropriated the original Electromancer's tech, and they could help Faust and Neo with the technical details of Alice's nature. As for Alice's dad's body, she had attended their joint funeral, but who knows... Spectre might have done some grave-robbing, or even faked the body found, to begin with. That would really make Alice angry, haha.
There is an Alice-Neo relationship in the works, yes! You could probably see this in Neo's plotter, but for convenience's sake, I'll summarize: they're kinda friends, but Alice will of course foil Neo's attempts to break the law once in a while, and Neo kinda tolerates---will tolerate? Alice because she's interested in how she works, as an electric ghost.
...so yeah this wanted ad thread became so plotty.
Both wanted ads are technically not yet filled, so have at it~

Electromancer She's been doing as much traveling as she justifiably could (typically under the guise of college tours) to meet professors et al for... about four years now? That's a bit too tight of a time frame most likely since uhh, yeah. She's only 19, and she was like 11 when he retired lmao.
For building her a body though, maybe Neo's not satisfied with the robot body that causes her to seek out Faust? I'm sure she could build a robot that can be piloted by Alice, but it might be short true sensory experience. Like, Neo could certainly provide software for Alice to know that the temperature outside by standing in sun (and probably wind speed, humidity, and the whole weather report), but would she feel warmth? I could see that roadblock--because Neo wouldn't be content with an imperfect simulation of life--leading her to get some magic to get the job done right.
Re: grave robbing, I think K'shiel can probably teleport corpses and thus could've fetched the body for Faust. (He's even younger than Neo though, so it'd be a pretty decrepit corpse by the time he got to it.) He can't carry anything living, but a body's just... dead, right? That's not a living thing anymore...

Yeah, it might not be too feasible that neo had met Alice's father. However, while her father retired in 2008, he only died around six months from the current time, so K'shiel (is this Abyssinian?) could totally have stolen the body right after the funeral service. That's why I've been saying that while he's retired, he might have been invited to talk during the time between 2008 and before he died. Still, it's pretty tricky.
On the other hand, yeah, I agree, I could see Alice saying that she knows the temperature info, but it's not quite the same as feeling it. So, indeed, Faust could help with that. Maybe? XD

Anyways, these are the things I think Gaea would be willing to do. She could, of course, just make alice's ghost slightly more tangible with spirtual energy. so like ghost!alice would affect they physical plane but still pass through walls and shit idk up to u!

GAEA
Well, if Gaea would offer it without asking too much in return (hint: something not obviously villainous)... well, the golem and the plant bodies don't sound great for her, and the demigod body is... well, pulling souls out are icky >.> XD So the most I think Alice would accept--- if she's not too overly suspicious of Gaea and doesn't connect her with the wreckage in their current thread immediately--- would be the slightly more tangible thingy. Maybe she'll actually learn to toggle her invisibility and tangibility, or something, haha. This has a lot of if-clauses, so Neo's solution still works for the meantime, and even if she gets the spirit-up she'll probably still go for robot bodies for certain things. Thanks for offering, though!
...and for anyone looking in who might be overwhelmed by the vastness of the thread, the wanted ads are still open! XD They might not be as needed for now considering Alice has offers from villains for both robot bodies and nemeses, but they would still be really nice to have!

Post by MARIA on Jun 17, 2016 7:55:35 GMT
Electromancer, Maria would love to help! He's had experience with machines due to helping ACE MAXIM with her robot and stuff. Maria is also the nexus of magic so he knows pretty much every magic, this includes Technomagic, so Maria could help her build a physical body with cool thing's added to it or specify it to her liking.

Gwynnnn~
I would have taken that offer in a heartbeat before--- didn't quite think of omni-magic as covering technomagic, or at least I thought Maria would still require help for the mech-y parts... but right now Maria's the host of the Phoenix Force, which makes things a bit complicated: I've already established that Alice is kinda leery about accepting help from villains, and while technically Maria isn't, the Phoenix Force is kinda daunting right now.
Maybe if they met without Alice finding out that he's the Phoenix's host? Or maybe later, when Neo eventually upsets her by killing somebody and he helps Neo-proof whatever body Neo and Faust cook up for her with magic and technology? Or maybe even a mix, Maria gives her her preliminary body, and Neo wants to top that?
Welp tagging neo with this thingy too, I might have run away with myself. We might be on to something here XD

If Neo has Faust helping with the construction of a body, you'll probably want to Faust-proof it rather than Neo-proof it. At most, Neo would probably troll her. Faust... now that's a scary lady.
Since I'm really busy, maybe we can use our current thread with Neo and Electromancer to get Alice a body? She could have a very human-like android that's a WIP at her place that Alice could immediately take over. That way instead of talking about things in hypothetical--especially with my posting speed lately--you can get the ball rolling and assume she already has an android body? I'd imagine it's pretty rudimentary, but we could say it is basically full-functioning body for purposes of movement and doing stuff. It'd lack senses like taste, wouldn't be able to eat, and it'd probably feel like silicon to touch, but Neo can roll out upgrades to it periodically to make it increasingly human-like until she turns to magic to get the job done right.
Mostly, I see you've got a lot of plots related to her having a body and improving it, so I don't want to hold you up on that lol

Ooookay, let's get things straight. Summarizing...
- neo can create a robot body for Alice, but without Faust 's help, it's probably not going to give her senses of taste and touch. Furthermore, both characters mentioned are villains, so Alice will be cautious.
- MARIA can probably do much better, but his current reputation as the host of the Phoenix Force might make Alice reluctant to accept his help.
- GAEA can do spiritual shenanigans, but her offers of bodies are kinda iffy (although of course Alice doesn't need to know the details). She's also a villain, and definitely not a tech person
Hephaestus where are you
So, yeah. It is true that Alice probably should be more wary of Faust, haha. As for getting Alice a robot body immediately in Neo's current thread... well, first, this thingy really should be more of a long term goal; I guess I might have been too enthusiastic about it, I might have given the wrong impression. So I don't think there are problems in being held up! Plus Neo's offer sounds the safest for now XD Second, Alice would probably not use the rudimentary robot body that much, unless it's lifelike enough that she can interact with people with it. Of course, the body could still be introduced in the thread, Alice could be meh at it, and then next time they meet the body might not be that meh at all.
Anywaaaay... kind of wishlist for the body:
- Sense of taste and touch.
- Looks like a human.
- Internet connection XD
- Processors and memory good enough so she could take advantage of her other abilities XD
Tagging BOY BAHAMUT since I think Remy expressed interest in this too via Skype?
And as I do keep repeating, while Faust is in Spectre and Neo might be joining, I'd still like the villain who expressly tracked the original Electromancer, Alice's dad, and killed him (although now that I've thought about it it might be better to have that as an NPC so she could beat the guy with finality, unless someone is open to having a character that gets incarcerated/killed at the end of the plot)...
...and an ally who could make her a robot body without too many iffy side-clauses, although right now Neo and Maria might have that handled. Like I said with Neo above, this is more of a long-term goal, so I can be patient!
Welp I talked a lot.

Here's the money and the mechanical aptitude...I think this would be a fun little plot to have. Technically Tinker could create any type of technological or mechanical device....or object in general, if you just give her the specifications of what you need. Straight from her imaginaaaaaaaation. Or we could take the slightly longer road and build every unit from the ground up. Of course anything made can have tweaks and modifications as time goes on. But the real kick here for Tink is that she loves creationism, she loves mechanics, and the thought of a electronic being that can inhabit the cybernetic bodies she creates just sounds like too much fun for her to pass over! All in all, Tink has no real aim/goal other than creating fun/thrills for herself, and making objects/helping amputees and the like.
