See, now this is actually the EXACT kind of thing that I was talking about. -Humanity has unusual trait with regards to telepathy (Species wide Lotai) -Soia expand on unusual trait to make hyper effective telepathic traits, which they put into the Soia-lorin copy of humanity they engineer, the Loro...

arioch: i was just nitpicking there, i like filling in the details, making it accurate, and is it that strange that loroi have a higher racial template 'cost' compared to humans? they are equal or better across the scale...they even have the superior ego to go with it. *grin* the devil is in the de...

But if the characters are compelling, I think you can get away with an awful lot in storytelling. I agree absolutely; it's all about the story and characters and whether it works. Crest of the Stars is really about Abriel (the Abh princess), and she's compelling enough to keep you interested. Unfor...

It dies last...or so I heard


Speaking of which...Rule34 and Outsider?? Never saw anything. The internets is slow on the uptake...

Nothing has to be shown mind you...implied is more than enough... or hinted....or hinted as possible.....or not outright denied

In related news, Christmas is cancelled.

..and Santa is dead. And the cake is a lie...and you have uncurable, terminal cancer.
Did I mention that there's also no heaven, only hell?

Actaully, by not accelerating in the cloud and bursting out of it at great speeds, the Umiak loose a great tactical advantage. From a dead start, they CANNOT overtake the Loroi force. The Loroi out-accelerate them and would just blow the Bell and high-tail it out of there. However, if they had built...

It's kinda funny when you think about it - a race that's so geared to warfare and fast reproduction. Shouldn't they also have a healthy libido?

Settle down kids!
Don't make bring out my whipping stick!

I sensed a great disturbance in the force...as if a million fanboys cried out in anguish...

...Even ones that were in service only fifty some years before? You might be thinking early nineteenth, perhaps eighteenth century ships. The Victorian era is later 19th. They're not using smoothbore cannons. You are right, my bad. However, I'd like to point out that the difference between human an...

No. A dozen of the best victorian ships could never sink a WW2 battelship. Heck, I don't think they could sink a WW2 destroyer! Simple put, the cannonballs are no match for modern comabt rounds or modern armor. The range of the weapons, the accuray- no match. A single shot from a human cruiser in Ou...

It's anime. MOST of it is not something you'd reccomend to other peeople.

That's more of a Farseer kind of thing.

So they are the kinky ones then?

The only practical use I can think of for multi-person links is groups of Listel transferring information. and to answer TrashMan question before he ask it, no i doubt that "information transfer" involve naked loroi and/or jello. Could you double-check that? There si no need to hurry. I can wait. :...

Loroi are nightmare prisoners: they can communicate with each other in telepathic ways you can't overhear or prevent, and even an unarmed civilian Loroi may be able to use her telepathy offensively. Attempting to capture a Mizol or Teidar is nearly out of the question: there is no way (except keepi...

Minor issue: A victorian warship (or indeed a nepoleanic ship, if it could get its guns high enough) could easily 'soft kill' a WWII battleship by taking out the bridge and fire control stations, which would blind and thus silence the main guns. I would speculate that HMS Dreadnought (a very late e...

A question that's been floating in my head for a while while we're on the subject. Does touching cause a hive-mind type effect? To be more specific, if Tempo is holding Beryl's hand in her left hand and Fireblade's hand in her right, does Beryl have a connection to Fireblade, or do both of their co...

I predist that humans will smite the Loroi and hte Umiak. In a few generation the glorious humanity will leave them eating our dust.

Loroi will be our plesure slaves and umiak our workforce.
LONG LIVE THE HUMAN EMPIRE!!!!!!

I think a comparison question to humanity's contribution would be, "How easily could Victorian level industry help the current US Navy?" I don't think that difference is accuarate. the development of technology flows differetnly in different eras. Differences can be bigger or smaller. For compariso...
