Prishela Neznovna Comets [ANIMATED] CharSheet - By Sherha...
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
Wonderful
Sherharon delivered the ANIMATED! version of the character sheet. Yes, SHE DID IT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZtl9xXUcM4
Prishela was the pinnacle of USSR robotics before the fall. She was supposed to be an example to throw in the face of the USA of the advances of the Soviet Union. Not only the first woman in space. But an example of Russian ability. A theriantropic beast capable of not only human interaction, but changing shape to accomodate diversified and possibly dangerous environments.
Built in the lost town of Kantubek, under great secrets, it is murmured that Prishela's power source (Code Named "Tunguska Drive"), was in fact alien technology that the USSR had been working on since 1942 and was able to reproduce and adapt to human technology via the secret "Skinny Bob" Project.
With a "variable asset body" (also known as "The Theriantropic edge") capable of working both like a human being and, in case of need, also to assume an high speed animal-like form, Prishela is capable of moving both in 3D environments and on land. Her running speed being 30 km/h for the anthropoid form or 130 km/h in her feral form. Her animal form has jump-jets which allow for great leaps. She's stronger, faster, and smarter than most human beings, though single human beings do exist that are better than her at any single thing.
Her flight, which should have taken her to the moon, failed in 1959. She was lost in space. Her module failed to give her power and she deactivated at a crucial moment. The 3 scientists who build her sent a last message to her capsule "Conditions growing worse, why don’t you answer? ... We are going slower... the world will never know about us..." the project lost funding after such a monumental failure.
Yuri Gagarin was then chosen as the Russian representative, but having wasted so many resources on the failed Prishela project the USSR failed to reach the moon.
Prishela's activation signal was detected a few weeks ago.
It happened under mysterious circumstances. No data was divulged, and even her possible activation was leaked by an unconfirmed source.
Since the Prishela project had been shelved and hidden as a big stain on the old USSR, and little knowledge of her remained after it (the three original head scientists having deported in siberia and died of hard labor) there is very little knowledge about even her existence. But NASA seems to have sent a crew to intercept one of the possible trajectories of her failed lunar module.
Unfortunately this is all unsubstantiated rumours. Even if Prishela existence were to be confirmed in the first place, nobody exactly would know how she was built. Everybody is afraid that dismantling her to study her might result in the loss of the only functioning prototype.
Drawings showing an alien battery at the tip of her tail, so it could "stay far from the Tunguska Drive", with extensive notations about catastrophic consequences in case of the battery's or the drive's rupturing makes the few scientists contacted, that divulged any detail while asking for anonymity, very wary of the consequences.

it actually does. If you have all the magical equivalents for modern tech, except you say "it works via magic" what difference is there from the stuff we use today at the level of competence of the normal user?

That's literally technology. You're exploiting the properties of a crystal to send a signal (electromagnetic or otherwise) that can be used for communication. Whatever the civilization that learned to do this is, they're very lucky that it's this easy to exploit a natural resource for this, but it's still technology.
If the denizens of the civilizations call that magic then they obviously don't fully understanding it yet.

If something appears not to follow the laws of physics means that we simply need to take a deeper look into how it exactly works. The two slit experiment seemed to break the laws of physics until we managed to define how it worked and where in physics it fit in.
Stuff radiating outward in an "aura" (or more scientifically, a "field") is nothing new. We got magnets for that (amongst many other things, like radioactive isotopes) and a slight manipulation of magnets gives us the radio. If a civilization uses fancy, glowy crystals for it then it doesn't mean it's the "M" word, it just means they have a crystallized material not found on Earth or discovered yet which carries properties that have not yet been defined that can be used for long distance communication.

You... do realize i was just joking around and you're taking this seriously. 😅
Nothing wrong with that, sure. But when i say "Bogus" I mean it. "What's needed for the plot" usually. Bad practice, sure, on that i would agree.
I'll see what i come up with once i finish writing the story and start commissioning the comic.

Oh, yeah, I take stuff seriously ^^;
Obviously a fantasy setting doesn't require science unless it helps the plot in any way. For example, having stuff scientifically explained in The Lord of the Rings would ruin a number of aspects of the story and also not fit in at all in a setting that is medieval.
I'm just a big sci-fi and science nerd and always see stuff through that scope.

And that's the point.
It's an alternate reality.
You're right that """magic""" is probably stuff that has not been thoroughly researched, and seems to defy the normal way of thinking, but just because we don't have the full picture.
But it would still be something as if Pratchett's discworld appeared all of a sudden near our solar system and we'd see the great A'Tuin waltzing near our planet all the while asking ourselves "WTF?!".
And that's more or less what i was going to do with Prishela's story.
She's an android, but she can't be that advanced, i mean when she was built people litterally wove circuits around simple metal or magnetic rings to make them work... and where changing a program literally meant to re-weave the circuit. Possibly from scratch.
It sure worked to protect that stuff from gamma radiation of which the space has aplenty... buuuut you can't make an android that way.
Hence she has alien stuff like the mysterious "tunguska drive", and the "alien battery" which are both needed and should be kept separate for "bad things happen" the usual mumbo jumbo which you would expect from fantasy, but not from science where they would tell you what are the safe zones and the energy output of the catastrophic failure.
I also used "modern myths" about russia, exactly for that purpose.
Most science fiction stories of old were about exploring a "what if..." and taking it to its logical conclusions.
And that's what i'm going to do.
The "what if" is Prishela herself, and what her very own existance means.
However. It won't explain much, or make anything much clear. It's just going to be: "For this to be here, this other thing must have happened, here is a slice of the truth, for that to be real, that other thing must have happener and that is another slice of the truth."
In the end what people will get is just part of the whole truth which will still have an aura of "Scientific-like Totally Bogus Magic" it will have its rules, which people might or might not understand depending on how well i convey them... and other stuff like that.
It's going to be about the clash of propaganda versus reality, the russia of today versus the russia of before, and there are going to be aliens and a catty android. 😜

"Science-like Totally Bogus Magic"? https://youtu.be/4RmKTAkNacw XD
You certainly know your stuff and I can never say no to something like aliens with a catty android ^^
