In the event of blindness (whether it be natural, from getting acid in the eyes, or otherwise) would it be an option in Novus to have that corrected somehow? Obviously with the upper class having the easiest access to it.

Hey nerds, how strong is culture? Like, it's all based on city now and everything is mixed? Or are there still old world naming conventions in some families?
I ask because my character Volk has a fully Russian name but I wasn't sure if he would keep the patronymic name in this setting :O
>this is what happens when your English AP teacher secretly made it a Russian literature class back in high school
ALSO ABOUT THE ROBOTS kind of just throwing this in here for a planned RP
I know the size says small-to-medium animal but would that be assumed to be the limit only for personal robots? :O I was thinking that security could possibly have something similar to the box-guard robots from Deus Ex: Human Revolution or something. Can't be used by a lone character, but is used by companies or something. SECURITY STUFF <3

TeddyThis would really be on a case by case basis. If the person making the appeal could prove they hadn't broken/removed their implant by choice, then it would be possible - However there would probably be intense interrogations before this was accepted as truth. A considerable amount of time in a Reeducation Center would probably occur as well before they were allowed back into society. LeveninIt would be useless for trying to plug things in, yes. So no magic, no information sharing, no mods, nothing that requires the actual port for use. But if the tech doesn't require sticking it into the port, then it would still work. TeddyNope! The compulsory years of service are only for those that were originally born in the Upper Class. Those years put off when Upper Class members have to originally take their test, so there wouldn't be reason to delay for people that tested higher. CrowlinGallanusIt would really depend on the type of raid. For bombs and heavy weapons, armored vehicles would be the go to. For undercover ops, basic vehicles, or just going on foot. And they would of course be black unmarked SUVs. White shows dirt and blood too easily u v u Teddyyes ! You could easily get access to prosthetic eyes, or even just having corrective surgery. Natural, or otherwise.

Do we have to register places of work? Like, Lev works at a clinic but he doesn't actually own it. Would it still be useful for future reference to have it in the business directory?

For rping/visual purposes- uh- how does someone use magic?
Like it's it a chip card with a QR code or something that their port/jack scans so they can use it? or is it like........ a vile of chemicals or something? Im just having trouble understanding what this looks like.

Is it-- right to assume that, along with simulated weather, the city has a simulated sky? o: Simulated sunsets and stars and moon phases, etc?

aLonelyCowWhile each city would have its own culture based on location / structure, there would still also be the old world naming system. Culture as we know it mixed over the years, but tradition and things can still exist on a person to person basis! However, they wouldn't know exactly where it came from. So Russian names/Spanish names/culture etc would all still exist, but they wouldn't know like what 'Russia' is, just that it's a tradition in their family to name/do things in a certain way and that there are similar people who do it as well. aLonelyCowYes, that is for personal use! Companies and such could have larger guard robots. A person wouldn't be able to build robots that size themselves because it would be similar to building something in a factory, and they also couldn't take them out of the area / hack them to leave because of 1) size. and 2) they would be programmed to malfunction if they left that area. LeveninYou don't have to, no! But registering does give others the chance to know the place exists and helps to expand the world. It's all up to you, really. TeddyYou are correct in that assumption. Stars, sunsets, everything is included in the simulation overhead.

KokotanAnswering this one separately o7 So the magic is a mix of a chip and chemicals. This is an example of what one might look like, although they can all vary in shape in and size. So it could be a cylinder, a stick similar to a USB, or a crazy straw ( warning. crazy straw magix sticks could potentially be ineffective when delivering the magix. however it looks cute ).  But essentially there is a chip on the inside, which contains code for the NUIP. When plugged into the jack, the code tells the NUIP how to reconfigure the chemicals in the body in order to allow for the use of that type of magic. However, there is also a small amount of chemicals ( distributed by the lines you see in the clear part ) that give a bit of an extra oomph to help the body with magic and also cause a lot of the addiction factor. The clear/distributor part could be slid into the bodies of some magic sticks as a design choice as well.

So wait- Maybe I'm just confusing myself with this but- Is the NUIP made of two parts then?? A port and a chip? I understand there's a port for inserting magix but I'm also hearing the part that allows the government to monitor civilians is described as a chip that can be damaged/removed to become scavengers. I want to assume the chip is built somewhere within the port where it doesn't obstruct items from directly connecting into it. But wouldn't that mean scavengers who decide to deactivate their chips by removing their it will end up damaging their port too? So they won't be able to use magic without getting their port repaired. /cry I guess I'm confused about the makeup of the NUIP.

KokotanIt is two parts, yes! The actual port is the external portion of the NUIP, which would be how you are able to insert things. it's similar to having a port that a computer would have, like for a HDMI cord, or in this case, the things you need for magic. The second part is internal, and that's the actual chip / mechanics implanted in your brain. Signals are received and given by the actual chip ( so like the magic code or the monitoring information ). there are multiple components for the internal part, so that's why you're able to fry the tracking information thing, but are able to still use the magic. And since the magic is part tech part chemicals, it reacts to what's left in the head. Scavengers are also only able to use one type of magic because the chip reconfigures your body for each type - so without that chip they're stuck with the single one they used last o7
