>>30375584>different chuubanite alignments can have multiple effects and that they can be combined together with differently aligned chuubanites of similar concept, if this is still applied then how would that look in action for a catalognaut>would this only be to the extent of what the catalognaut knew about their own chuubaniteThe keyword is 'faith' or 'belief' in their oshii. Catalognauts are not born with a blank wildcard chuubanite, their natural affinity is based on the environment. Born somewhere near to Mt Mori, it's obvious which ones will be chosen. If a Catalognaut is presented with two chuubanites of similar concept, priority goes to which Chuuba or concept their faith lies. Present a KFP with a Kiara chuubanite and a Tomoshika chuubanite. Though both are fire-based, Kiara's will be activated.
>would a catalognaut need to do certain rituals to refill their reserve of heavenly energyNo extensive rituals needed. As long as their belief in their chuuba is strong they receive energy from the Catalog like a rechargeable battery or a plant photosynthesising.
>>30376005>they have a lot of chuubanite in or with them, in quantities big enough that it'd be harmful to most people>their bodies and weapons don't act like chuubaniteRecall Nasfaqronie's lecture on what constitutes as chuubanite. Now imagine the entire physical body hosting magic quanta. Tissue cells, blood cells, blood plasma, nail keratin, etc.
>based on the assumption their powers come from chuubanite there would have to be some mechanism for it to be replenished. It would be plausible that the catalognaut can simply absorb chuubanite from the environment passivelyCompletely bypassed environment. Like a robot that's always connected to the cloud, these people are connected to the immaterial realm, the Catalog. Straight from the tap.
>catalognaut would need to have knowledge of all of themIt depends on the individual. Multi-oshis (polytheistic/secular) people might be able to do it. But not recommended. Medieval physicians had a word for this; humor imbalance.
>>30416206>basically, they act like chuubanite in that they are linked to the conceptual realm, which gives them (or their consciousness maybe) access to the catalog>they still need to know how chuubanite works> i think this is more or less how it works. /meat/bro, correct me on all of thisYeah you got it right. Just missing this info;
>transubstantiation>catalognaut has to be the almost perfect physical and conceptual representation of a core concept associated with the chuubaniteThis is an important factor but not mandatory. Inspired from Eastern mysticism like qi cultivation and enlightenment. The stronger your faith and utilisation of Chuubanite is, the more you mutate into looking like your oshi. The closer the physical body represents the concept and the chuuba, the more powerful they are. With 1:1 transubstantiation being the 'Level 99 Golden Core Qi Supreme God Wizard'. In Layman's, the most powerful wizards in /mep/, regardless of sex, are all snobby Reine cosplayers that go 'mep'. Yes, /become/ is a serious theme in this universe. Pomufication and Lamification are not jokes anymore.
>>30417529>>30417692>I would have called that a "potential catalognaut", or a "catalognaut candidate">I was looking at catalognaut as a profession>didn't have to do anything, but were often useful in a variety of fields such as spying and communication> i am pretty sure you said they could be anything multiple times, but if i am misinterpreting you please correct meYeah I said those. It depends on how the state views these people.
- Some would give them freedom to be whatever they want like any regular people, just with a unique talent. They could find specific niches in the economy to employ their abilities. Healers, farmers, cooks, entertainers etc.
- Some would provide benefits for them to employ in high risk jobs such as adventuring, military, intelligence, diplomacy, or esoteric involvement. Jobs such as being the /vt/ equivalent of Mentats or as blue collar living transmitters, operatives protecting diplomats, etc.
- Some would go as far as implementing mandatory conscription and training, can't let such a gift go to waste.
As for /meat/ I think our policy is affirmative action because of the reliance on magic and rituals.
I am now accepting more questions.
