Lore/RP general discussion

[starsystemerror]

These are really rough doodle-y sketches but I wanted to show off what my mental image of my Eggcraft player character is. Since Will made me a custom player model of my fursona, Sam, I've been playing as him, but the original skin I made years ago of my robot sona is still "under" that and displayed in the "players online" menu.

I had the idea that Billy, on another plane of existence, asked Sam, his girlfriend, if he wanted to play Minecraft with him. Sam, of course, said yes, and requested he himself be put in the game. This ended up with mad wizard Billy putting a completely sapient copy of Sam into the game as a "skin" over a robot body. This Sam is incredibly confused as to why he is in Minecraft, since he has all the memories of "real" Sam, and it's a fucked up SOMA situation of sorts.

He prefers to do simpler, more "real" things in game, like fishing and cooking, as opposed to monster-fighting, but he does like to mine and dig mass amounts of blocks, as he is still a dog. He tries to live a simple life with The Mayor's help, but unfortunately, the robot body he was placed into (or, well...over) has a mind of its own. They are constantly at odds, as the robot wants to adventure and loot, and Sam wants to stay home and farm. They reach a tentative compromise, with the robot using Sam's mining and farming gains to have safer adventures, but there's still a lot they don't agree on. They start to become closer, though, when Sam shares his stories of partially being an entity that exists beyond Minecraft, and the robot shares some stories of its own, having experienced several different versions of Eggcraft itself.

I wanted to reconcile having two sonas in Minecraft that both already existed outside of Minecraft, and making them semi-RP characters at the same time, so why not weird system body-sharing shenanigans?
