djtenkuSorry that I haven't been posting; just that I've been terribly swamped with work, ups and downs... enough about that.
The history behind Nightingale Virus. I don't even know where to start. It's mostly inspired by Warhammer 40k books that I have read over the years, fascinated by how grim it is. There are some bright spots, but... it's the Imperium of Man vs. Chaos. *shrug* It actually derived from a fic idea, RE4/MGS. In a way I'm glad it morphed into something else.
I've decided this time there are only two main characters and a lot of side characters that they encounter. However, they are not human. They are androids, bioroids to be specific. Androids in general are separated into classes -- C1's are the most human-like, to where they're almost indistinguishable from humans. It's tiny, mostly cosmetic --subtle differences. There's no UV (uncanny). And they do have varied personalities.
C2's are humanoid, body of one but generally no face. Sorta like a Patlabor but smaller in scale. This is because they're more of the industry/military part, so they do have to work along side with humans. Puts them at ease. The offshoot of the C2 are the true specialized androids -- when their specified task is over, they are decommissioned and scrapped until their use comes up again. Of course, they have no personalities. There is little cruelty to this...
However, there is an option for the android -- they can upgrade or 'downgrade'. However the conversion has to be approved and such by a committee. Conversions can be illegal and sometimes can have dire consequences.
The situation is that these... creatures, the main threat... -- actually, I don't even know how to describe them. Maybe Insectoids. Multitude of things. They can infect anything, and I do mean ANYTHING. Well, anything that has a sort of intelligence. Yes, even artificial intelligence.
Nightingale refers to the sound that it makes when it's communicating with each other, or a whole pack of them, just like the songbirds. Only thing is that they've been extinct for about ~2000 years (Did I tell you this is in the future?). So, no one knows about the sound. But it's too late until then...
So, this will have RE/WH40k influence along with some other shit. Who knows, could be a few expy's from previous works... but I shall warn, there'll be lot of carnage/gore/squick whatever. Not initially but... heh, yeah.
This is the icon for said story; if you have played RE0... the relationship part goes a little deeper. ;D
