It's the future: January 2021. We've just gotten ALL the rest of cyberpunk, good and bad. They've just released the first round of really good brain interface machinery, and everything else still kind of sucks.
Reliable mindwipe and personality chip technology is available. You've decided to take the plunge. Any fictional character in any medium is available, even fanworks.
Who would you want to become?

@zebratron2084 Sanjuro Kuwabatake. Or Nikolai Rostov.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@Leucrotta Ohhhhhh shit. :D Sanjuro is an EXCELLENT choice for this godawful era.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@zebratron2084 oh wait, isn’t it obvious who I’d be if I could? D’Artagnan.

@zebratron2084 Ellen Ripley, not even a debate.

@zebratron2084 I can't pin it down to specific characters but I have really been in a Harvey Comics mood lately. Probably on the Casper/Wendy/Hot Stuff magic-weirdness end of things, but that sort of setting.
Also huh, now would I like to see a cyberpunk universe done in the worldview of Little Lotta and Dot.

@Austin_Dern I'd even just love to see a cyberpunk world through a (relatively happy) kid's eyes...
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@zebratron2084 Times like this I wish I could have a throwaway character concept that wasn't just someone with a really specific point they're cranky about.
... Although that is 80% of the way to a Harvey character. Hm.

@zebratron2084 Santa Claus. Beloved, kindly, gets to be a total hermit 11 months of the year.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@zebratron2084 There is a supporting character in a wonderful series of mass-market books written by Steve Perry that I would love to be. Her name is Dirsha Zuri from the Matador Saga (The Man Who Never Missed, Matadora, and The Machiavelli Interface are the first 3 books in a 9 book series. If you want them I can send you my digital copies.) but she is hyper competent, deadly, a respected leader, and in a loving relation ship with her girlfriend, and used to be shacking up with the President of the Galactic Republic and his wife before becoming one of the heroes of the revolution that brought done the repressive and brutal Galactic Confederation.

@kelseyhusky That sounds awesome! I think I might try to hunt those down in paperback, honestly!
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@zebratron2084 I've got those too
Not even using them since I've got copies that fit nicely on my kindle. Happy to send them to a new reader.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@kelseyhusky Hmm, well I am hoping to head up to Seattle in the next couple months...! Thanks, hun! I might take you up on that.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@zebratron2084 hey, even if you don't, shipping paperbacks is cheap. But I'll have them collected and ready for you!

erase me
Replace with me
Just so that no one can be certain that I was ever me.
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@001zlnv i think i have a youtube link for you when i'm off mobile...
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
@001zlnv Ah, here we go.
You can probably guess why it was a pain in the ass to search for...
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
can't really look at that now, will need to check it when I get home sunday
re: faintly morose quiz/meme, cyberpunk, media
oh! oh! ok so it's about transporters, and fork divergence!
unsurprisingly I fall in to both the narrator is both full of crap, and both scientist and narrator are murderer camps. He failed to suspend process before copy and destroy creating minor forks which he killed, she intentionally created a fork and then had it murdered after the point of divergence.
but the she at the end of the video is still a murderer as she still retains memory of and is an active chain of continuity to the process that did the killing

Is ... is this a trap? This sounds like a trap. This sounds like if I answer it, I'll get put on some kind of list. 😅

Can I just do the wipe and leave it at that?
I don't think a change of scenery upstairs is going to fix whatever's wrong with me.

@zebratron2084 Look... just slap my brain bits into an emulator of old retro games and let my digital mental self be able to ghost into any of the characters and be them for a while...
... that is literally all I want.

Me: Judah Mannowdog from Bojack. Arguably one of the few truly innocent characters in Bojack--and I think it'd just be cruel to put Hollyhock in this gross body.
This is what inspired the whole question. Dammit, I'm exhausted with being me. I just want to be nice. Kind, sincere, organized, effective. The person I set out to be but left by the wayside about 25 years ago.
I could also do Ralph Stilton. I'd say Vincent, too, but there just isn't room in here.
If this gets any worse, I might even have to stop tigering altogether for a while. But I'd not sure I even know how.
