I think a character is starting to form for that gorgeous bright green Guinea turaco bird I posted earlier. It's been ages since I've tried to play a villain.

So, imagine a 22nd century where Our Side predictably beats Our Enemies into embracing neurogenetic hacking, finally giving us a hugely decisive and exploitable power advantage. Pure Juanita-from-Snow-Crash brainwitch power.

Then imagine that the worst possible self-righteous jerk on Our Side dabbles in that technology.

That's Mayté.

@emanate I'm going to pretend that was a straight question despite all conceivable evidence to the contrary!

"MAI-tay." Sounds a bit like "Rite-Aid." :)

@emanate (Oops, I was wrong! Apparently the accent *is* same as in Spanish, and when it's intended as a contraction of "Maria Theresa," as in this character's case, it's pronounced "Mai-TAY." Sorry, that's trivial, but you know me, I had to correct it. n.n; )

@zebratron2084 Always good to get that sort of thing correct, yeah. No worries!

(Now I can just make jokes about Yerba Mayté instead!)
