Bio-Mass

[Paradox]

Name: Bio-Mass


Affiliation: Independent


Ownership: Yirim Thrace


Intent: Bio-Mass is to serve as the primary focus of Yirim's research. It has amazing potential to be utilized in the fields of medicine and even could be used for unique weapons.


Type: Organic Resource


Size: Varies


Cost: N/A


Composition: Proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones, Fibrinogen, Globulins, Albumins, Amino acids, epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, Sarcolemma, Sarcoplasm, Myofibrils, Myofilaments, collagen fibres, inorganic bone mineral in the form of small crystals, and gases.


Description: Bio-Mass is the term for liquefied remains of Echani, humans, or near-humans; really any being genetically similar to Yirim himself. Using Traugar Gas he takes the bodies/victims and puts them into a sealed chamber before releasing the gas to melt them down to base components for use in both his medical experiments, weapon tests, and of course drug trials. The process does give the Bio-Mass a sickly green glow that persists after the gas evaporates harmlessly. Though the fact of what Bio-Mass actually is, is only known to Yirim himself. As 'liquid life' he preforms radical operations to twist, or in his eyes better, the basic building blocks of creation to suit his still unknown purposes. At the moment however it is primarily used as a medicinal resource as spreading it on lacerations and other wounds will numb before regenerating at a rate slightly less than if one used Bacta. If Bacta takes one minute to heal a minor cut, Bio-Mass(in it's current incarnation) takes four. The possibilities are numerous for this morally grey resource.

OOC: Eventually I plan, through roleplay, to develop this resource into several aspects of future technologies that Yirim will develop. It can be weaponized in the sense that I will use it to develop an android-type soldier, fusing together the flexibility of an organic soldier with the advantages that technology and droid hardware can provide. Medically I was going to use it to stabilize Yirim's physical condition on which I won't divide any other information on said condition. But it will allow him, at least temporarily, to improve his strength and constitution primarily for combat scenarios. But that's the extent of the medical uses I will utilize it for. It's limited in that it is fairly rare as he has to break down similar organic beings to acquire it and doing so in large numbers would attract unwanted attention. It also has to have a small current of electricity running through it or else it becomes inert inside of twenty-four hours. It's purposes will primarily be for story and technology purposes. Not much else to say on it at the moment as it's a reference/resource to make other profiles.

Not sure what else to add just yet, but I figured I would post a basic description of what is essentially a resource/fuel for future experiments before I just go ahead and start with people like; what's Bio-Mass?

 

[Paradox]

Actually I'm not sure what I could add just yet as he hasn't really fooled around with the stuff too much yet, so it isn't really valuable right now. It's like making 'Element A' so I can do experiments on it that might one day turn it into 'Element B.' But 'A' is such a basic resource it has no inherent value until new uses are determined for it via experimentation such as it's transition into 'B.' It's a crappy substitute to Bacta which is why Yirim would never use it that way. Anyways, enough self-rambling. I'm sure Jiang will have something I'll need to change/add/delete :3

Soylent Green is people?

Soylent Green is people?

Yep. There's a reason Yirim's title is Diabolical Chemist. He's not what he appears ;)

 

[Bee]

We get it, he's crazy. Show, don't tell, etc.

Bio-Mass seems a bit too.. vague, though? Its made of everything and can be used for anything, but what does it actually do?

Hey...calm down you >.> and he isn't crazy. You're thinking of Vaan.

It's not made of everything, just the basic components of a sentient; humans really. The stuff that we are made of and holds us together. It can't do everything, not even close, and right now? It does nothing. I'm simply getting it approved so it can do something in the near future. It's just a resource, a tool for now. As Yirim experiments and makes breakthroughs, then I will update/post new variations and the things that can do...things. If that makes any sense.

 

[Bee]

It can be weaponized and it can be used in medicine, which are two very different things. But the write up doesn't say how or why - just that it can be used to do.. something. I think you need to figure that out before you try and get it approved as a substance. Is it a bacta replacement? Is it a poison? Is it some weird green bio-napalm? If you don't get into specifics then this all has the potential to be very strong because it then becomes a fix-all for whatever a plot requires, whether its some magic salve to bring someone back to life (exaggeration there) or explosive gel to take down a blast door.

 

[Paradox]

Ok, see your point. It can't be weaponized in the sense that it itself is a weapon. It's medicinal qualities are primarily the focus though that vein hasn't been tapped yet. The weapons potential is in the vein of making a sort of bio-mechanical soldier. Literally building a soldier from the ground up. Of course I'm still working out a lot of details on that, on the third draft. Think of it like life in a gelatinous form. You can shape it into another form and give it life using mechanics(think android) or use it in it's raw form to heal or provide an adrenal like effect. But as I said it's nothing yet. It can be used to do something, but Yirim doesn't yet know what. And I don't want to give away all of my little plans because where's the fun in that? But essentially 'make-a-soldier' and heal Yirim in a unique way involving his condition. No competition to Bacta, no dead walking, no explosions. Nothing yet.

 

[Bee]

Its fine if your character doesn't know what it does, but for the purposes of getting it approved, you (as a writer) should probably be able to explain it. :P

 

[Paradox]

Grrrrr. Fine. No one is allowed to read it or at least know ICly what it's for :p I'll do a more extensive write up when I get back from work in the morning :p

 

[Logan]

So essentially you're creating Zac.

 

[Bee]

Smite the globs. :V

 

[Befallen]

...What's a Zac?

Also, as Bee suggested, it could definitely be fleshed out. Strengths, limitations, and such. Does it work similarly to our very own controversial Stem cell research? If so, how would such a thing be weaponized? At the risk of sound redundant, these are all things you should take into consideration. And as far as OOC/IC knowledge goes, a simple header at the top of the tech profile will solve that.

Hey you >.> I gots dis. But in all seriousness I am fleshing it out, so no need for any other posts until I'm done revamping :3

 

[Paradox]

Updated, though still it isn't much as it's just a base to build upon for later submissions.

 

[Jiang Winters]

It's kinda vague. I like where you're going with soylent green, but I won't be signing off on it yet. You can continue development of other items that require this material and, once you have some concrete examples of how it will be used, I'll revisit the entire family of technology.
