Now that shes confirmed for starmada with hector, and her icon is the same aleph black and white, its extremely likely shes going to show in vanilla, and maybe OSS. We already know from her alt skill she has twin smgs and a medikit as her loadout, lets go guess what her skills/stats are. Doctor is extremely likely, as is engineer based on her aristeia profile description. Maybe also a visor. Shes basically guaranteed g rem presence, but via a jumper variant? As a REM? Lets speculate. What price range you think shell be in? Cheap REM doctor, dr worm style super sophotect?
Hmm i think she's an aspect so that seem unlikely she'll be a remote. But that's a possibility i suppose. But i guess she could be a aggressive doctor character. I'd be very surprised if she's not in OSS, she'd fit right in being named after a hindu goddess.
She's not a true aspect, she's the last remaining "battle-bot", the artificial fighters that were used for Aristeia! before human participants were allowed.
While I'd be worried about her stepping on the toes of the sophotect, a profile that is basically an AD sophotect would be an interesting variation. you'd lose out on the Yudbots, but could have her drop in where needed, without having to spend orders moving the sophotect or yudbots up-field.
Fair point, I was under the impression that they were created primarily for the sport, then again after decades of active sentience and combat in the ring Parvati has probably evolved into something unique.
Yeah she definitely could (and would) have evolved beyond her original "geas". Though that's also because Aspects are individual sentient beings capable of learning and evolving and all that, some would probably be hard to distinguish from humans in the right circumstances.
There is no fluff justification why they put her in Infinity. Only reason they did it, was so they can again be lazy and make same miniature for Aristeia and Infinity tournament pack, like with Wild Bill. Fluff justification, whatever it might be, will be made up to service this. In reality, this was all just because Aristeia players wanted mini in their tournament packs, and CB gives them that by introducing Aristeia characters into Infinity, where most of them don't belong. I hate this practice, but since CB has so far proved to be unable to make good characters in 95% of the cases, I am not worried about Parvati.
It's worth noting that an Aspect is the independent AI with it's own Identity, no body required. Most of the Aspects in the mini's are in Lhost bodies, sure, since a purely digital Aspect would probably be OP hopping around hacking people and being immune to bullets. So she was an Aspect in a mechanical body rather than a Lhost, but is still a fully realized individual being on any other level. Remotes are mechanical bodies with limited decision making which are remotely controlled, so they are more vulnerable to hacking, but Parvati is a self-contained unit. I bought the Victorian Parvati a few months back since it was neat, so I'm fine with her inclusion. :)
That conversation kinda made me think of a character idea for the RPG; a retired Yajurveda aspect, now "recycled" as an Asura so she can carry on with the ultraviolence. Though it's probably silly heh.
I really like the model shown in the previews today. Definitely appears to be a AD trooper, and smg should make it a decent gunfighter.
She looks good, sad she didn't keep the locusts but that's alright. Have we heard 100% yet that we'll get her in Aleph, until I know for sure I worry that she slips by.
She's definitely one of my favourite ALEPH models, i'm definitely going to try and nab one for myself, she look amazing.
The model looks nice, but I like my Victorian one, and the ITS one will probably be too much for me anyway. Unless there's another Infinity version of her that's more common (which I doubt).
I would like to see her having AVA 2 in at least one list. Then we would know, it is not that unique being, that does (Robot-)Sports and SpecOps at the same time, but a scheme, where an AI improves in the arena on her fighting skills and then this knowledge is used in SpecOps by a number of copies. While the others Aristeia-in-Infinity-guys seem to be using Aristeia as a pitch for their merc-careers or are just retired from Aristeia and now working in their second favourite jobs - it does not look convincing with Parvati.
I like what I see in the videos. But I miss the gaps on her arms and legs, like the original version has. I know, hard to sculpt, but still ... I see her like a high tech version of a tomcat, more aggressiv. More or less normal alpeh stats. REM status, NWI (or Dogged, to keep it cheap), SMG (B+1*), Doctor, AD, MSV 1, no long range option, maybe contender as ARO. In the end more a nice to have than a must have. *) if full auto 2 works like N3, I would give her that, to reflect her SMG_Akimbo Hmm. We still have Maximus, 8-Ball, Hexxer and Gata left ...
maybe this new body is more durable than what Parvati use to have in aristea or is more suited for combat can't wait to see how her general release model will look like PS: we got to have 8ball whenever Bakunin gets their redesign Carlos said Corregidor is next
I thought Achilles was doing Aristeia, when he wasn’t modelling for yaoi anime with Patroclus or beating aliens on some faraway planet. What’s wrong with this Parvati-thing doing the same. Granted I’ve not gone deep into the fluff of the game...
So Parvati's new profile is interesting. No AD, just super jump. We also get the best engineer in the game, and our first akbar doctor. Though at WIP 13 she's not quite as good a doctor as the sophotec. I'm also worried that at 38 pts she'll be bumped from my lists, as I seem to struggle to find points for a sophotec already.
