I'm still noodling on the details re:Numbers/Element(s)/Origin on a hypothetical [Me in FRO] but I'd figured that I should post a few things: a funny observation that I had at work that also leads into a question.
So the notion is that I would 110% be a [Retired Player], mostly on the basis of Screw Kayaba and, via transitive property, Screw Playing SAO. However on having the rug pulled out underneath me my first instinct would eventually be to unknowingly mirror Ilya and attempt to build a [Mechanical Berserker] (Now in Church flavor???) as a bodyguard rather than learn How to Fight. And I thought it was just a funny coincidence, but that lead me to a question: how possible is this?
Like, I'm more familiar with F/SN the story than I am with Nasuverse as a mechanical Universe? So the thought was that any sort of [Steam/Gearwork] would be in support of minimizing like...I don't want to have to magic every joint? So have a Mystic Code/Familiar Brain In A Jar (something crystal a la Halo? Like a Musicbox with teeth?) capable of seeing/feeling/using whatever weapons. Oh! I had another thought: would it be possible to supplant the upkeep cost for a non-organic familiar (or any familiar) by using a [Only Mostly Muggle Engine] and have the energy output linked to a [Energy-to-Prana] Mystic Code? Is it even possible to do Energy-to-Prana?
