Ever since encountering Maria Mercurial, my Phoenix shaman PC has had a continuing quest to discover a way of undoing 'ware damage and restoring Essence. (Call it a "cleansing fire", within her Weltanschauung.) As she sees it, this would not be a one-time special thing but a continuing ability, to be invoked as she sees fit. (For what it's worth in our game, she would only ever use it within situations where the person had 'ware installed and/or Essence stolen in situations beyond their control: where they were certainly not willing parties thereto.) It is entirely likely to remain a driving goal for the remainder of the game - however many years that will take.
Some issues which arise include questions of game balance (how does it alter the traditional and continuing 'ware trade-off equation among PCs?) and overturning a core concept of the SR world (how would such knowledge affect the greater SR world?). Should a method to restore Essence ever exist within a game? Is it something feasible and/or reasonable to exist within the SR world? Would it make a difference whether it were a one-time deal or a continuing ability? If you have such a method and have managed to make it work, how? What limitations did you assign? What complications have you encountered? |
