Forum:Sprites and prototyping

OK I wondered what would happen if two players were prototyped, I never thought we would actually see it happen. Man there are so many thoughts going through my head I don't know how start without rambling. Well first I always thought Alternate Future Dave and Dream Jade overrode Rambunctious Crow and Bec was because they had animal minds while Dave and Jade were human with more complex human minds. Not that they were prototyped after them. One thing I always fell back upon was the fact that Jaspers was prototyped again after he was already prototyped and remained intact because while he was an animal the next prototyping was an inanimate object. This of course always raised the question of what would happen if two beings on the same level were prototyped, well we still don't know but we should soon so I won't bother speculating about it, much. Well even if prototyping of two things on same level resulted in the first one being overrode in favour of the second, Vriska and Tavros were prototyped simultaneously ruling that out.

Which leads on to the next thing, was this a single or double prototyping? Consider Rambunctious Crow: It was impaled with a sword when it was prototyped, both the sword and the crow were prototyped simultaneously, of course Rambunctious Crow was impaled by the sword and the Sprite may have considered them a single object since it keep the sword impaled as part of it. But this means that Sprites are capable of complex prototypings (well we already knew that) as a single prototyping. Expanding on this, when Dave prototyped himself over the sprite he was wearing his iShades, the iShades from what we can see of them seem to have became part of the Sprite. The point being that regardless of the complexity and number of pieces being prototyped if they are simultaneous then they seem to count as a single prototyping. Of course two people are much more complex then the previously mentioned examples and the Sprite might count it as two regardless. Even if it does count as one prototyping I doubt we will see a second prototyping attempt on Jane's sprite now making the whole point moot (storywise at least).

Another thing I thought about is what would happen if a god tier player prototyped themselves I guess it would be just like if a regular player prototyped themselves except they would have god tier powers. However if a god tier player died (like Vriska) and was prototyped to bring them back do they stay god tier? I guess we will find out maybe? But she was prototyped with a non-god tier player, does that mean they are half god tier? Also maybe this will also be addressed but while we are in the limbo of between updates, more speculative thoughts. Since they have two different mythological roles what does that mean for the sprite, will it simultaneously be a Page of Breath and a Thief of Light or will its powers become completely mixed up so that while it remains both of those it also simultaneously becomes a Thief of Breath and a Page of Light too?

Man so many thoughts, sorry I just needed to express them. The Light6 09:19, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
