Which faction leaders would you like to be your parents?

[Commy]

So who would it be? What faction leaders would you choose to be your parents, assuming that you had no other choice? And yes, one has to be male, one has to be female. Marr will be considered male, and H'mee female, and I guess Cha Dawn can be both, not that it really matters...

Personally, I would choose Lal and Roze, Roze for style, and Lal because he's one of the proud and few who are NOT RAVING MAD AND INSANE AND COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR FREAKING MINDS!!

[Chaos Theory]

But Lal might take from my body a single cell...

[Commy]

...perhaps to love me again. Is that a bad thing? Maybe so, but atleast he isn't using it to manufacture thousands of genejacks, or make a walking tree, or maybe to grow a brain in a tank somewhere. All very interesting concepts...

[Zeiter]

Chairman Yang?

"Now son, I know you want to play video games, but don't you understand that that would not be good for the whole of humanity? Come, donate yourself as slave labor to my ingenious "Genejack" project. No? You don't want to? Well, Mr. Nervestapler isn't going to be very happy...oh, you'll do it then? Excellent..."

[Dis]

Morgan of course.

who wouldn't want rich parents?

as for a mom. How about Deirdre? Who wouldn't want a hot mom?

but they would just end up fighting all the time about free market.

So how that one chick from SMAX.

[Whoha]

yea the rich guy and the hippie chick.

[Alinestra Covelia]

My grandfather was very similar to Yang. He came from Ningbo in China and relocated to Taiwan during the Revolution. He continued to be very traditional, and my father had an interesting time growing up.

Fortunately, being a granddaughter, I was beneath his notice...

[Apocalypse]

Morgan and Deirdre definitely. Morgan's money can get you into a nice school and let you buy things and Deirdre will pretty much let you do whatever the hell you want.

[Dry]

Smac: Zak & Deidre
Smax: Sven & ... the sea (?)

[Enigma_Nova]

~SELECT PARENTS~
!Eliminate obvious flaws
Deirdre: For Free love
Yang: Against Creativity
Zakharov: Learning beyond ethics
Morgan: Intense work ethic
Santiago: Brutal Discipline
Miriam: Fundamentalist
Lal: Bureaucratic
Aki: Emotionless
Domai: Against abstract things
ChaDawn: Fundamentalist
Roze: Anarchist
Svensgaard: Adventurous
Marr: Not human
H'minee: Not human

Well, Deirdre is a pacifist, that doesn't suit me
Zak would have more interest in his projects than me

So Roze & Svensgaard it is!

[Apocalypse]

You know, now that I think about it, a Morgan and Deirdre pair is probably even better. They probably wouldn't get along and thus try and compete for your love.

Tsk, this is an enlightened age, you know. Or at least, we like to pretend that it is.

So, obviously, Deirdre and Roze had me through adoption or by going to a kind of non-monetary bank.

Of course, if we have to cling to old-fashioned family values it'd be Roze fussing about in the kitchen all day while Lal sits in his comfortable armchair smoking a pipe. Oh and Santiago would be the big sis looking out for her li'll brother.

[Apocalypse]

I would think that she'd have more fun kicking her little borther's ass all the time. :/

[Chaos Theory]

Right, looking out for him, so she can find him and kick his ass.

[Quezacotl06]

I'd like Santiago. Wouldn't it be cool to have a mom that could kick anyone's ass? I'd choose either Lal (for his down-to-earth stability) and Yang (Maybe fanatic, but he is still a good parent. Look how Mia turned out.) Maybe Yang would give me a base for a birthday present so I could do social engineering of my own?

[Blake]

Yep, I'd have to go with Rose and Sven.
I'd rather know true freedom than inherit all the money in the world.

Main problem would be Rose would always be on the net, while sven would always be out at sea, so you'd never have two parents around, unless they got a yacht with a net connection.
But then again, all the faction leaders are types to be so obessed with their work they would never have time for their kids.

The other acceptables are Dee and Lal.

Zak would have more interest in his projects than me

And here, I'd be scared of being one of his projects. You know genetically enhancing his own children wouldn't be above zakky.

[Dis]

I would love to be genetically enhanced!

[SynthetGod8]

I'll take Aki-Zeta and Rose (Aki is technically female, but she's mentally androgenous... so that's kinda male?) And we live in a progressive society.

Aki would outfit me with all the tech implants I could want and teach me rational objectivity. Rose would teach me how to use the Net effectively. Then, using my implants, I would be able to control the Net better than any Cyborg or Hacker alive. Even take control of other machines for my own deadly experiments. And then Planet would be mine.

But if I had to have an acutal male father-figure it'd be Domai and Aki. Bit of a rougher crowd, but I'd kick their non-cyborg asses. And cause mysterious machinery "accidents" to anyone who screws me over. With my mind and tech interface.

And then Domai would get sexually frustrated because of the natural fridgidity of Aki and cheat on her. And then me and mom could ursurp as faction leaders by dropping a 20 ton beam on him. Oh, and assimilate everyone. Problem solved.

That's not "kinda male", that's "kinda 'it'."

And also, why would Domai get frustrated with not getting any from Aki, but not Roze?
Heh, maybe Roze likes interfacing with Aki's technical parts, while Domai just doesn't get it.
