New Civilizations [OOC | Always Open]

[Saxony-Brandenburg]

We all qualify, I might skate on the warfare one since Nux took the bullet on that one and I'm riding his coat tails.

Luther's obliteration of mesopotamia into a thunder dome type scenario gives me carte blanche to be a liiiittle villainous

[Arlye Austros]

alright, enough stalling through Kenshi. Time to light another war in Spain.

Found a post on /AskReddit, "You're given immortality but as a cost you are sent back 3000 years - would you accept and what would you do?" https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1bvg1wv/youre_given_immortality_but_as_a_cost_you_are/

Reminded me of New Civs cause (broad gesture), made me laugh though that the top comment was 'Invest in Apple, back then it was just a fruit.'

Would some features of our authors abilities be inherited by their children? Would they age slower and be able to learn languages faster, for example?

I dont believe so, no. They are just as mortal as everyone else

I know some Authors have been able to bestow (inadvertently or otherwise) their immortality to one other person but I'm not sure how prevelant that is, if every author can/does do that.

I have a plan to do something similar but in a way that left it quite ambiguous as to whether the person was actually immortal or whether there was some Princess Bride, Dread Pirate Roberts succession shinanigans going on.

I recall that it was done by emotional attachment. I already know what I want to do with that, what I'm wondering is if the descendants of an author for a few generations at least would live longer and have some part of the author's abilities. Maybe it would become so diluted after two or three generations that there would be no visible effect. It would be game breaking for people to realize that its hereditary and start playing crusader kings to keep it around as long as possible though.

No I dont believe so. And the immortality boon for one individual does not also carry the other author abilities sans healing power. As far as Im aware. Id consult Gtech for further clarity

Also, if an Authors children also had the immortality or other powers, that would make G-Techs Imperium even more powerful, and I don't think you want that. : P

+1

Quite correct, minus the non-transference of other abilities. A single individual to whom an Author is strongly emotionally bonded, intentionally or unintentionally, can gain the same preservation against the ravages of time as an Author.

Mind you, there should be some very minor genetic advantages to the children of Authors, a degree of resilience against epidemic diseases, better growth patterns, etc. But nothing strongly noticeable or supernatural, just the advantages of five thousand more years of human genetic drift and good nutrition.

Semi relevant question- does it have to be a human that gets the immortality Boon? If nothing else, I think it'd be a bit hilarious if someone accidentally made their donkey immortal.

Someone made a dog immortal I think.

No Übermensch babies for you.

Everyone knows author genes are recessive. You need two authors to make author babies.

We don't really know how these Author powers would transfer over though in that situation. The Authors don't age. Would hypothetical Authorlings just be stuck as neonates forever?

I am imagining little homunculi that become engaged in Fantastic Voyage-esque adventures.
