GroundPetrel Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 SO tonight I was talking cosmere lore with my friend, a fellow cosmere fan and author of what i believe is the only Marasi/Vin shipping fic in existence, and she said that body augmentations like in Cyberpunk are probably possible with metalminds as Scadrial approaches the upcoming Ghostbloods books. And I said, and this is where the stupid fusion fanfic idea comes in, you could literally do a fusion fic with Cyberpunk 2077. Basically (spoilered just in case, includes spoilers for tech and one particular character through Wax and Wayne plus hypothesis/idea about evolution of a specific application of Hemalurgy): Spoiler "V" is a thief who tries to steal a rare spike from a shell corporation run by bad guys (agents of Autonomy or another Big Bad?) who have somehow captured and sequestered Kelsier's cognitive shadow, and ends up after a nasty fall with a spike that Kelsier is Connected to embedded in her eye. So now she has an anarchist terrorist with a theater degree fused with her soul and has a ticking clock until his soul replaces hers like a Fused replacing a singer. Also a god can talk to her and said terrorist and the terrorist and the god bicker. Like a lot. "Judy" makes unsealed copperminds for entertainment purposes, and helps V and Kelsier try to figure out how to split the two of them (Kelsier has gotten attached to V out of nostalgia for plucky thief girlies, and V doesn't want to die), also if they can overthrow capitalism in the meantime that's a nice bonus. Using unsealed Identity metalminds to hold back Kelsier's takeover of V's body. Implanted metalminds to do like temporary powers and stuff and interface with invested weaponry. Another stupid idea that could go with this. Mare is kinda hanging around as a Spiritual echo of herself and gets to talk with kelsier at some point. Kelsier is affected by this and at the end Kelsier sacrifices himself for V and is left as a Spiritual echo and lets himself fade with Mare, finally giving up on his obsession with sticking around and trying to fix things (or break bad things). Thoughts, anyone? 3
JustQuestin2004 he/him Posted December 22, 2024 Posted December 22, 2024 Sounds fun! And of course, some ideas of my own for the Cyberpunk Edgerunners stuff. Rough substitute ideas for the cast. For David Martintez, instead of getting a military grade Sandevistan, he ends up with some type of Prototype Self-Charging Unsealed Steelmind that turns ambient Investiture, like the Mists, into Feruchemical Speed. For Lucy and all the Netrunners, the computers and internet use some kind of super advanced Coppermind/Zincmind stuff to let people access the internet with their minds and do it really fast. For Maine, he could be using Hemalurgic Spikes, like Iron ones to buff himself up, but not enough to turn into a full Koloss, along with a few power spikes like one that grants F-Pewter. He, along with most 'Cyberpsychos' are the result of overusing Hemalurgy to the point that it damages his mind and leaves him, well, psychotic. Or perhaps Cyberpychos are the result of mental pressure being exerted by a Shard on the planet, like what Ruin used to do. Maybe Discord doing it by accident and making all Hemalurgists go crazy?
