/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

That would make for an interesting story concept. It'd be cool to see the avatar, after exposure to various people occupying their body, begin to form it's own consciousness with shared traits.

This is almost the plot of a doctor who episode

[–] nuggsy 2 points 7 months ago

Ohh man! You're right!

I completely forgot about that episode.

[–] ummthatguy 2 points 7 months ago

Right, the goo people. I knew the idea had to come from somewhere.

[–] nuggsy 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't know why, but I feel like I've seen/read something similar to what you proposed... maybe because of 'The Island' to a degree?

I agree though, it would be a fascinating story for sure.

Was a central aspect of the story in Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Isn't this Dollhouse?

[–] ummthatguy 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not quite. The avatar being used is a blank slate, whereas in Dollhouse they added personalities over the existing minds. What you've suggested is more akin to what the hirogen did on Voyager.
