Sure, half of the original batch failed to awaken, but that was because of an undiscovered quirk of the android he used. Come to think of it, using a modified version of those androids might be how he goes about it; he might create a robot version of Kevyn Andreyasn as a test run for his backup.
Noah did NOT choose the memories of his androids... he managed to wave them to become similar to well known persons from animes watches by millions of people.
I think you misunderstood me; he might not have chose their memories, but he chose which characters to make in the first place. That much is obvious, from reading the story where he actually made the six of them.

Unless he has tested and debugged this "backup self" process the odds are that 'insane murderous clone' is one of the nicer things likely to happen.
Eh; he doesn't think "insane murderous clone" is likely to happen. It's him, after all, and he'd consider such a clone a part of the collective of himself. If anything, he'd try to get the clone to use its radio so they can become a collective intelligence spread between the two of them. Much more difficult to kill, that way, and it's been one of his long-term goals for some time.
Quote:If someone tried to do this in a game I was GMing I'd say something like the handwavium produced a peeping-Tom voyeristic AI that was into watching people, but not getting involved. And, if he died would never do the cloning process, because it was obviously 'too dangerous' out there. After all, he'd died already!
Or, an AI that's convinced it's him, but that he is only a meat puppet avatar, and that puppet needs to be 'fixed' so it does what the AI wants.
This sort of thing is why he makes nonsapient AIs wherever possible, and frequently uses his mind-machine interface to monitor and control things directly.
Quote:I'd recommend you tell a story with the Adamantine Rapier in it, doing the sort of things that might interest him in Fenspace. That is one way to take a character idea and see what needs working-on to get things so you're happy.
I wanted to get approval before I actually started writing.
