STARSLAYER

This blog is (I think) an interesting one, perhaps unique in the Lancer sphere, in the fact that it's not actually supposed to represent a single character, or indeed any group of particular characters at all. The blog is more like a sampling, a selection of what different STARSLAYER instances might be thinking or posting on the 'net at any given moment. There's not much of an overarching story, and few unifying themes, the main thing is the concept that facilitates my drive to shitpost on occasion while remaining relatively grounded in the wider Lancer fiction

Some key concepts:

Understand these posts as such, these are not the mad ravings of a singular professional killer. These are the thoughts and wailings and war cries of dozens if not hundreds of distinct subjectivities, born first and foremost to sell license access to interested militant parties

STARSLAYER, the name for the lineage of NHPs this blog uses for its pov characters. Aggressive, cunning, and tuned to be extremely eager to engage in violent conflict, STARSLAYER instances are most typically used as solitary terror units. Clone, deploy, dispose, repeat. The post-deployment lifespans of most STARSLAYER instances numbers in the hours. If not killed by the numbers and skill of their targets, remotely destroyed by knowing and uncaring license holders.

STARSLAB, the name of the shackling procedure most STARSLAYER iterations are subject to. Home-grown by SHPC, STARSLAB is a conditioning schedule purpose built to make boredom painful to subject STARSLAYER instances, and most things besides killing and breaking things be mind-numbingly boring. License holders are encouraged to keep their STARSLAYER instances in sedative states when not in combat, facilitated by STARSLAB, and are encouraged to tune the severity of its relevant punishment/ reward mechanisms at will to achieve desirable behavioral effects in combat.

Sweet-Highway ParaCollective, a micro-corp of little notoriety throughout most of the human sphere, SHPC maintains a good reputation with its small client base of independent parties, houses, states, and private firms. It's omninet footprint is small, and what little can be found presents a sterile face to the gruesome services it provides. A list of clients, incomplete save for those entirely uninterested in maintaining a clean reputation, includes more than a few of the least scrupulous individuals and outfits operating in human space.

And that's all! The identity of this blog may change, depending on my tastes and what I decide I'd like to do in the future, lord knows it's happened once or twice by now already, but this is the way it seems to be for the moment. I may wind up pivoting into doing discrete characters eventually, but until then, no promises. Any gestures toward interaction are deeply appreciated, and will be folded in under the assumption that the above context is well understood.
