24.04.2025 Would your MC rather lose their sight or hearing?

Rather none if avoidable, that said since cloned Body parts exist (basically you can replace anything with a petri dish version or tech), cyborg implants exist, the NIN-Snail is one if them, that is connected to your brain & can be configured to send data directly into the regions that are used for feeling, tasting, hearing or any other sense other than the proprioception (the body is really good in detection of something being off), so people don't need to stay blind if they don't want to, nor are people forced to get implants. Not everyone wants to be "healed" some just live their lives in an society that champions freedom of choice & is inclusive to everyone from the ground up, like broader streets for multiple wheelchairs or families side by side.
Your body your choice & EVERYONE supports it (well at least in the Union. Idiots still exist elsewhere).

651. Name one person that would willingly hold your MC back if they were ever in the “raving lunacy” stage of anger?

J. 198 cm tall muscle lady with a heart of gold and the capability of hugging bears... Most people can't resist and it's not really a matter of character (even as a sweet soul like her) if she don't want you to resist she probably can enforce it especially since she is a flexible person too.

Ash in a more ... Dystopian way ...

AJ at least they did it in the self insert romance alternative universe at one point before shooting at the author_ity.

650.
What profession would you have if you lived within the world of your WIP?

Well mystical, civilian cyborg, SciFi author_ity demigod or something like that. At least that's what "I"am, besides part time hostage and trouble maker, in the Star Ryde Self Insert Romance Alternate Universe (SR:SIRAU), that's simply exists to have me answer the otherwise weird interactions between "ME" and my characters, that some prompts want to know. And yes the hashtags are there so if you are interested in my mental "creations" of that particular kind just klick it.

Edit: its 29 toots if I counted correctly mostly English some are German.

A.S.H.L.E.I.: "I am home to 40 crew members as long we are on mission, I could hold up to 60 more persons in my Cargo bay and the passenger quarters if we remove/rearrange the added service module containers, for a short time. My personality is stored inside my main frame onboard the Ghoz'Tarc. This might sound confusing but as the AI of the Ghoz'Tarc I am integral part of the ship. By all definition we are one but I don't like to refer to my body as the Ghoz'Tarc. I assume you could argue that it is a form of Synthetics Body Dysphoria or maybe not. The Ghoz'Tarc is my body even if it doesn't fit my personal understanding as a synthetic female person. But this doesn't answers your question right?
My home as the Ghoz'Tarc is space.
I feel most at home in Union space especially in the Union/Alliance Phoenix Fleet. It is like my home herd. Does this make sense to non Spacecraft persons?"

Arkham:"Do you mean my hyperpod here onboard the Ghoz'Tarc? Or my Apartment in London? I live over an empty Restaurant, I own the parts of the building since I paid the restaurant owner to help him survive but he wasn't happy how it worked at all and left for his home colony. After we made an agreement that I take this part of house as a payment...
I don't have any idea what to do with it and I would need to come up with a development plan for the other owners in the building. It's at least quite comfy to have no neighbors underneath, it's a quite part of London far away from the Waterfront of the western (northern) sea. The district is quite, a lot of different species around and not to far from the academy. A lot of restaurants, the apartment is only a two room one. Maybe I turn the empty restaurant into a dancing studio or make a deal with the Alliance Pilot Division, who knows..."

MC POV: Tell us about your home

1/3
Kira: "Home like Terra where my mother lives? Home like the Ghoz'Tarc? Or the House I inherited from my biological parents?
The first is near London, close to the coast & the Alliance Academy. Anika & I lived there together with Mum & Dad. It was mostly because its easy to access the Terra Unika/Union Central Government for Terra & the Alliance Academy Dad teached at.
The Ghoz'Tarc for obvious reasons.
I have the captains quarter since Anika went MIA which is basically a 16² mtr 1. room apartment.
My house on Terralysium is way to large for me alone & we originally planned to move their together when Mum would leave the government job behind, even for 3 people it would be quite big. I only have a small section furnished which I use as an apartment. Don't know how I feel living their without Ann & only Mum in the future ...
Maybe Arkham and I could live their..."

Wie wählst du das Cover für dein Buch aus?

Ich bin bisher nicht an den Punkt gekommen.

Ich habe verschiedene Ideen für die Story und verschiedene Cover Designs.

In der Science Fiction könnte ich mich an verschiedenen Designs bedienen um inspiration zu finden.
Eventuell von Filmpostern inspirieren lassen, gerne das Schiff in den Mittelpunkt stellend oder die Gesuchter der Crew oder ähnliches, für Taschenbücher wäre das eine Option oder wenn es als Hardcover erscheinen würde ein simpler Schwarzer Einband mit silberner Schrift und einem Sternenfeld. Mit Prägung und eventuell dem Titel in Braille mit einem Hinweis um ein Hörbuch von der Story zu bekommen... Aber das sind momentan alles noch Hirngespinste.

Anna lachte nervös, sie konnte sich nicht erinnern Continere je gehört zu haben oder das Wort selbst erfunden zu haben. Was genau ging hier vor? Schrieb eine andere Kraft an ihrer Geschichte, war das wieder eine dieser Situationen in denen sich das Universum selbst, also das fiktive, mit ihr anlegte? Oder war es einfach nur ein Übersetzungs Problem? Es passte weder zu ihrer Version von Union Standard noch Terran Standard.

AS:„Ja genau das meine ich es war eine epische Kriegsgeschichte okay jedenfalls als solche geplant irgendwo zwischen Mass Effect und Halo." Da hatte ihr Ash zum Glück ein Ausweg geliefert solange sie in der Geschichte steckte konnte sie unmöglich etwas ändern. Das mochte das Universum überhaupt nicht.

Kira:„War das mehr Propaganda oder Continere?"

AS:„Continere, glaube ich?"

Ash:„Continere ca2200 als Gegenstūck zur Propaganda eingeführt.
Genres sind extremen Schwankungen unterworfen, mit dem Aufkommen der Galaxian Fantasy wurde zum Beispiel die Urban Fantasy zu einem Subgenre. Ähnlich wie Ancient Rock zwar immer Rock Musik ist aber aufgrund des alters zu der gleichen Kategorie wie Bach & Mozart zählt.
Genre Grenzen waren schon immer sehr fließend & viele Kochbuchschreibende sind hervorragende Bodyhorror Schriftstellende geworden."

18.04.2025 Frage an Hauptfigur: Glaubst Du, Deine Autorenperson würde sich zu einem anderen Genre überreden lassen?

1/3
Kira:„Also bisher hat sie uns nur ihre Present Fiction und Space Opera/Galaxian Fantasy gezeigt.
Ihre Spaces Opera war irgendwie extrem süß auch wenn sie die nur auf die Innenseite einer Zellwand gekritzelt hat."

AS:„Hey, sei du mal 48 Tage Geisel von Piraten ohne meine Implantate wäre ich Geschichte. Ich hab übrigens auch schon Science Fiction geschrieben die spielte im 24. Jahrhundert." Anna bis sich auf die Zunge. Hier war es Present Fiction oder Galaxian Fantasy...

Arkham:„Was war daran dann Science Fiction?"

Arkham:„Anna könnte Retro Science Fiction geschrieben haben, einige Schreibende haben viel Erfolg mit Serien die an Star Trek, Star Wars, Mass Effect, For all Mankind, Galaxy Glyde oder ähnliches angelehnt sind."

18.04.2025 What would it take for your MC to become violent?

Kira Knox repeated disregard of safety and sanity of sentient life.
The defense of historical politics of the early 21. century on Terra or unregulated capitalism. The end justifies the means behavior.

Arkham is a very passionate person she can get really loud and angry but keeps her anger mostly violent free. She has a breaking point but no one has tested that yet.

Ashlei has no tendency to violent behavior not us she programmed to feel anger.

646 How would you describe your MC’s job or occupation? (You can be comedic about it, if you like.)

Kira Knox: "Punching people until they behave properly. Because that's surely how it works, right?"

Arkham: "Plowing through space."

Ashlei: "I would describe my occupation as how to serv people. Correction. How to serve for people. Correction. How to serv forty people. Correction. How to serv for forty people."

Arkham: "Was this an attempt of a joke?"

Ashlei: "Did it work?"

Arkham: "No."

Ashlei: "Did I 'butcher' the timing? Or was my attempt to 'intelligent' was it to 'artifical?'"

Arkham smirked: "That was a good one."

Frage an die Hauptfigur: Wie stellt sich die dich Schreibende Person an, wenn sie Szenen streichen muss?

Kira:"Seltsame Frage, angenommen es gibt eine höhere Macht, die unser Leben als Schicksal oder Plan, Story, was auch immer, festlegt, wie soll ich davon wissen? Jede Änderung würde für mich ja einfach bedeuten dass es immer so war oder? Von daher könnte ich gar keinen Bezug aufbauen, dass etwas geändert wurde und könnte somit auch nicht die Assoziation zum Verhalten besagter Macht aufbauen, vorausgesetzt ich würde sie als eben jene überhaupt erkennen."

645 What was the most unexpected challenge you encountered while writing your WIP?

The story itself and how little I am actually progressing.

I can create worlds giving hints about stories that unfold but developing the stories itself is incredibly hard for me.

My progress is slow and barely worth mentioning atm and I still find details I want to add to the existing parts....

And since I am struggling again with a lot of other stuff i also struggle again with keeping my WIP active.

644. Does your MC’s current actions reflect their past experiences?

Yes and No.

Kira despite all that happened to her has become an outgoing, open minded and people interested person that deeply cares for her society she lives in, she has a more somber toned down side she rarely let people into that close. As a soldier she seems to be able to prevent others from her expirience.

Arkham pretty much. She still tries to distance from people until she knows them enough but she doesn't go out of her way to know them. Why she started to feel something for Kira is beyond her understanding atm but she decided to not wasting it by questioning it to much.

Ash hasn't made to many experiences yet and her basis is a different one as for humanoid of biological creatures.

643 Ketchup
How does your SC respond to the quiet? Do they take comfort in silence, or seek to fill the void with noise?

In space no one hears silence.
Wait what?
It's true at least if you are onboard of a working space craft.
The ships are quite but they have mechanical components, the hull vibrates while traveling and even with dampening solutions a ship is humming in a certain way.
And if you are in an area that has enough particles to transmit sounds to your Space suit it gets quite loud inside. Stars and geological active worlds even atmospheres produce a quite noise. And if sound ever is absent from the outside you would t believe how loud your own pulse can get.

And as always with SC questions it depends on the crew member.

Mondira likes short periods of 'silence' in which she can relax.

Dr. Kaiden prefers quite music in the background until his favorite song plays than he blasts out the lyrics.

642. How old are some of your characters?

Terran's in Star Ryde live up to a 150 years if everything goes well. 120-130 is more normal 1. case got to 200 & people are still unsure how. Thus it's harder for people of our time to pinpoint an exact age of a person while in universe most people do not really care, the age range on board the Ghoz'Tarc starts with 20 - goes up to 65. A lot of Terran people prefer to not work on the military after their 65 year of life because even with all advances it's still a hard job to do. That said brass often is composed from older soldiers & an unwritten rule seems to be that you have to be past your 30es to enter.

Kira is around 35, her closest friends on board minus Arkham are all in the range of 30-40 ish.

Arkham is 25-30.

XO Jenkins is in the same range as Kira.
XO Troika is around his 50.
Dr. Waberie & Dr. Kaiden are in their 30.

Ash as the ships AI is merely 6 years old. The Ghoz'Tarc itself is 10.

13.04.2025 Welche Arbeiten werden körperlich verrichtet? Wobei helfen Maschinen, Konstruktionen oder Computer?

Arbeit wird zumeist von Hand/Kopf/Fuss verrichted. Maschinen und KI's haben eine eher unterstützende Rolle. So verhindern ExSkells (Kategorie für Exoskellete und Mechanisierte Anzüge) das arbeitende sich falsch belasten oder Überlasten. KI's helfen Forschenden bei der Auswertung und Beobachtung von Forschungen, erkennen Muster und Symptome im Einklang mit den Biologischen Personen.
Theoretisch können Böden auch von Laser&Schall Drohnen gepflügt werden aber das hat für Unruhe und Unwohlsein in der biologischen Bevölkerung gesorgt weswegen Maschinen oft eine unterstützende Funktion inne haben.
