- | ===== Melumsi Artificial Shell Series ===== | ||
- | |||
- | MeSh-1 Melumsi Shell / EP-8 Exoform Prototype | ||
- | Creator and Developer: [[character: | ||
- | |||
- | ==== ORIGIN ==== | ||
- | Commissioned by an anonymous contractor -- rumored to be one of the Elders, but the rumor was quietly quelled -- the Melumsi Shell Mark 1 exoform was one of a series of experiments to find a host body that was stable enough for permanent [[species: | ||
- | |||
- | While the development of the EP-8 was underway, Dr. Jal created a variant for his personal use that included his KINESI System. The EP-8m is a military-grade model with greatly enhanced abilities (see [[items: | ||
- | |||
- | Unfortunately, | ||
- | |||
- | ==== BODY ==== | ||
- | The Mark 1 Melumsi Shell exoforms (MeSh-1, the production title of the EP-8) were enhanced organic bodies, readily manufactured and very close to Yamatian bodies in terms of strength and disease/ | ||
- | |||
- | ==== ENERGY ==== | ||
- | Powered by normal biological functions, a MeSh-1 body requires normal rations of food and drink to survive, but its operational duration without these staples of life is triple that of a normal human when operating with minimum energy usage. | ||
- | |||
- | Note: The EP-8m has completely different power system with its own intake requirements. see " | ||
- | |||
- | ==== USE ==== | ||
- | Usable only by Melumsi or similar energy-based life-forms, MeSh-1' | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Exoform Prototype History ===== | ||
- | ==== Experimental host types and traits ==== | ||
- | The following is a list of attributes that were considered undesirable in the development of the Melumsi Shell. | ||
- | |||
- | == Low psionic ability or tolerance == | ||
- | When the host rejects a Melumsi, the Melumsi is severely injured or killed from the rejection. Those that survive inhabitation don't live longer than a few days before their energy disperses. | ||
- | == High sentient intelligence or will == | ||
- | Super-being class hosts or psions. When the Melumsi takes over, they are merged and the Melumsi personality dies. | ||
- | == No sentient intelligence == | ||
- | The exoform dies without inhabitation or external life-support. | ||
- | == High psionic acceptance or tolerance == | ||
- | The Melumsi cannot vacate the shell safely and may leave a part of themselves imprinted on the host mind. They also may go insane when they try to reintegrate the lost part. This is what happened to Araiah when he attempted to inhabit the first EP-1 exoform, creating Tayar in the process. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== Exoform Prototype Series ==== | ||
- | == EP-1: Artificial Lifeform == | ||
- | The first artificial lifeform created by Melumsi technology. This version was created to perfect the method of creating artificial life-forms outside of biological cloning techniques. Tayar is the first EP-1. It was also the first EP-3, -4, and -6. | ||
- | == EP-2: Largescale Lifeform == | ||
- | This version was developed as a Werashi-sized bioform with inhabitation potential. | ||
- | == EP-3: Brain Development == | ||
- | This version was developed to optimize the autonomous and neural functions. | ||
- | == EP-4: Intelligence Capacity == | ||
- | This version was developed for decreased intelligence without loss of autonomous function. | ||
- | == EP-5: Psionic Ability == | ||
- | This version was developed with increased psionics and inhabitation potential. | ||
- | == EP-6: Inhabitation Potential == | ||
- | This version was developed for optimum inhabitation compatability. | ||
- | == EP-7: Appearance Variations == | ||
- | This version was developed to form templates for aesthetic variants. | ||
- | == EP-8: Enhanced Traits == | ||
- | This version was developed for increased strength, speed, stamina, senses, and regeneration. This version was intended for special persons, but never reached production. | ||
- | == EP-8m: Field Modified == | ||
- | A testbed for the KINESI System. | ||
