So I'm wondering what kinda premise you'd have in mind?
i'm workshopping concepts rn but also looking into Metal Lords for more research material but the TL;DR is
1. I want to exploit science and make the FJs and Factory nerds look dumb with how good at science we are
2. I wanna be high tech and exploit real world cutting edge science but make it look cool in RP
3. I don't wanna do I'M EVIL or I'M GOOD I wanna do General Zod themes mixed with some Moses themes.
4. I want droids to feel like people, like culture, to have identity and not just be NPC battle armies "I'm decked out in Factory gear thats the only reason I write this character is to just powergame at SCIENCE." I want droids to feel like characters and their writers to feel inspired to continue to return to the character without constant Faction micromanagement.
5. I love Denon/Darkwire/the culture they manifested with all of that.
