Nechronica.Pdf A world in which humanity has met its end. A world in which everyone has died. A world in which nothing more can die. In which naught stirs but walking corpses. The protagonists of Nechronica are the girls of this world unfortunate enough to possess hearts- the Dolls. To put it simply, it is a game in which the players become zombie girls and fight against other zombies. The one who caused the dead to wake- the ruler of this shattered world- is the Necromancer. The Necromancer serves as both the master of the game and the archenemy. For it could be none other than the Necromancer who gave hearts to the Dolls. For in a world filled with mindless puppets, the Dolls- they alone whom possess wills of their own- are no more than toys. For the tragic comedy wrought by the foes sent against them is a delightful spectacle. Since Dolls are already dead, they will find no rest when they are broken. The peace of death came to an end long ago, just as did the world itself. As we have a cup of tea, beneath these skies as gray as lead- let us tell the tale of this long, long epilogue. Nechronica -The Long Long Sequel- is a tabletop (pencil-and-paper, face-to-face, et al.) RPG published by Incog Labs/Tsugihagi Honbo/Patch Works and designed by Ryo Kamiya, previously the designer of Golden Sky Stories, Maid RPG, and Zettai Reido.

They can pick two choices, combining the fighting style of the Doll and gaining special abilities. • Count: A unit of time during the Combat Phase. • Doll: The Undead, controlled by the players, that are loved and toyed with by the Necromancer.

In addition, the name of corpses that are affected by the activities of necromancy are "undead." ‘Necromancy’ and ‘undead’ might give an occult impression, but necromancy of this world is the product of science and technology. Necromancy is a technology that was established before human civilization collapsed. It is also the largest and longest lasting heritage that was left behind by human life. Necromancy is supported by nanotechnology. This technology directly allows the concept of a personality download. First, we will describe the development of the story’s nanotechnology. In the middle of the 21st century, explorers discovered a new species of slime mold with seemingly intelligent, rapid movement. Thereby nanomachines stemming from this mold’s ‘intelligence’ were realized. Most of the body of the undead created by necromancy is configured by slime mold-nanomachines. Slime mold-nanomachines generate a small force and the weak current individually. Countless amounts of these nanomachines are able to move the body of an undead. In addition, this slime mold has a property of forming a network of complex relationships within itself called a "slime mold community". By artificially forming a slime mold community, it is possible to build highly advanced computers and similar devices. The slime mold community works as both a single entity and a collective intelligence. This community is able to function as a modular brain. However, due to the complex nature of the slime mold, the mold can only function as a brain and nervous system without regard to the rest of the body. The zombie cliché of destroying the brain does not work in this universe. Each cell of the body contains the slime mold, and as such destroying parts of the body will not destroy the entire organism; the organism retains its functions albeit at reduced speed and power. If the slime mold community is unified or foreign tissue is integrated, the entire organism can be easily reconstructed; this is the alleged ‘undead’ of the Nechronica universe. Another pillar of Necromancy is personality downloading technology, perfected in the 22nd century. As its name suggests, this is the means and processes to copy and transfer one’s personality into another vessel (such as a machine or clone). Artificial intelligence augments this downloaded personality and as such the human ego is able to change in situ. The basis of this technology is what Japanese scientists termed the ‘Ego Dimension Theory’. A clause within the theory states "the human ‘Ego’ is in contact with an ‘ego dimension’, the personality is the connection between the brain and this dimension”.

  • Galatea's Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination
    Galatea‘s Daughters: Dolls, Female Identity and the Material Imagination in Victorian Literature and Culture Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: David G. Riede, Advisor Jill Galvan Clare A. Simmons Copyright by Maria Eugenia Gonzalez-Posse 2012 Abstract The doll, as we conceive of it today, is the product of a Victorian cultural phenomenon. It was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that a dedicated doll industry was developed and that dolls began to find their way into children‘s literature, the rhetoric of femininity, periodical publications and canonical texts. Surprisingly, the Victorian fascination with the doll has largely gone unexamined and critics and readers have tended to dismiss dolls as mere agents of female acculturation. Guided by the recent material turn in Victorian studies and drawing extensively from texts only recently made available through digitization projects and periodical databases, my dissertation seeks to provide a richer account of the way this most fraught and symbolic of objects figured in the lives and imaginations of the Victorians. By studying the treatment of dolls in canonical literature alongside hitherto neglected texts and genres and framing these readings in their larger cultural contexts, the doll emerges not as a symbol of female passivity but as an object celebrated for its remarkable imaginative potential. The doll, I argue, is therefore best understood as a descendant of Galatea – as a woman turned object, but also as an object that Victorians constantly and variously brought to life through the imagination.

    Lillian Ducey Lived: November 26, 1878 - December 9, 1952 Worked as: director, screenwriter, title writer, writer Worked In: United States by Daniela Bajar, Livia Bloom “The skeptical may not believe it… Hundreds of directors may scoff—But—There is one director who is efficient—and without the aid of puttees. Introducing Lillian Ducey, directing Youth Triumphant for the newly formed Fisher Productions. Efficiency plus is said to be Miss Ducey’s middle name,” heralded the Los Angeles Times in reference to Ducey’s first job as a motion picture director in 1923 (III34). With silent star Anna Q. Nilsson in the lead role, Youth Triumphant, alternately titled Enemies of Children, was a melodrama about “a street waif of questionable parentage [who] is taken into a wealthy home,” according to Variety’s summary (26). Distributed by Mammoth Pictures and released on December 13, 1923, the black-and-white six-reeler was based on the 1921 novel by George Gibbs. The film was expected to be the first of many, and as the Los Angeles Times announced a few months later: “Mrs. Ducey’s next production will be an original story of her own … .” (II10). Yet despite these announcements of her directorial debut and the possibility of other films, Lillian Ducey’s only association with directing is a single feature. In this, she can be compared to other writers like Frances Marion and Eugenie Magnus Ingleton who had one opportunity to direct. However, unlike Marion and Ingleton, Ducey’s credit has not been verified. In the American Film Institute Catalog, Ducey is not even credited as the sole author of Youth Triumphant; John M.

  • Christina Georgina Rossetti - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Christina Georgina Rossetti - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Christina Georgina Rossetti(5 December 1830 – 29 December 1894) Christina Rossetti was an English poet who wrote a variety of romantic, devotional, and children's poems. She is best known for her long poem Goblin Market, her love poem Remember, and for the words of the Christmas carol In the Bleak Midwinter. <b>Early Life and Education</b> Christina Rossetti was born at 38 Charlotte Street (now 105 Hallam Street), London to Gabriele Rossetti, a poet and a political exile from Vasto, Abruzzo, and Frances Polidori, the sister of <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/george- gordon-lord-byron/">Lord Byron's</a> friend and physician, John William Polidori. She had two brothers and a sister: <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/dante-gabriel-rossetti/">Dante</a> became an influential artist and poet, and <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/william-michael-rossetti/">William</a> and Maria both became writers. Christina, the youngest, was a lively child. She dictated her first story to her mother before she had learned to write. Rossetti was educated at home by her mother, who had her study religious works, classics, fairy tales and novels. Rossetti delighted in the works of Keats, Scott, Ann Radcliffe and Monk Lewis. The influence of the work of Dante Alighieri, Petrarch and other Italian writers filled the home and would have a deep impact on Rossetti's later writing. Their home was open to visiting Italian scholars, artists and revolutionaries. The family homes in Bloomsbury at 38 and later 50 Charlotte Street were within easy reach of Madam Tussauds, London Zoo and the newly opened Regent's Park, which she visited regularly; In contrast to her parents, Rossetti was very much a London child, and, it seems, a happy one.
