Unfortunately, it seems Ateros no longer have any relevance. Oh well, feels good to give it some sort of purpose after all this time of it being a pair of fancy bracelets.

But yeah no, Ateros were pretty much Misapplied Phlebotinum and ended up way more everywhere than I originally intended, so in the new setting they aren't around. While a couple of unioned Ateros' minds still exist, I don't think any remember what they were, and none are still Nanomachines. My characters who were or were affiliated with Ateros (i.e. pretty much all of them) are also not in this universe. They're still in the old universe, and I was actually going to write something to finish up their subplot and post it as a kind of short sidestory thing, but I have yet to get around to it.

Please explain just what they were supposed to do and be. I never entirely figured it out, since I was in and out of the RP constantly.

I originally intended for them to end up as a unique item somehow reflective of the person who owns it, whether a weapon, something useful, etc. and have them gain more forms over time as the character who owns them develops, which can also take on a more discreet form when not being used. They ended up basically being able to take any form whenever, with seemingly no limits, mostly due to the merging and sentience, mentioned below.

I only ever expected there to be a couple sentient ones, and they're supposed to take a long time to become sentient. At this point they would have been similar but different to the personality of the person who owns them, and they would begin to develop themselves as characters, maybe even ending up at odds with their host. Since all of this happened way earlier than expected, they just sort of ended up being whatever.

The merging-with-ateros-to-form-one-being thing wasn't supposed to happen in the first place, but I went along with it. It actually provided an interesting idea, and I made a character based off of it. It doesn't, however, really explain how it works, since I think my original idea was to have the Ateros' soul being part of the host's that's linked to the nanites, except in some rare cases, but I think I just went with "screw it they get souls when they turn sentient because it's simpler" or something.

Basically, TL;DR: They were supposed to be useful tools which in some way represented the user's personality. They ended up as much more powerful seperate characters most of the time and were barely used otherwise, and many ended up either being forgotten or were merged with their hosts to form robo-angst. Nothing I planned for them went as planned. Though I am glad that people were able to form plots with them, etc. it still bothers me that much of my initial ruleset and ideas were thrown out the window and my plans accelerated to the point of giving up.



ALSO OH MY GREAT ELDRITCH GODS MAKING A RACE IN STARBOUND IS ANNOYING.
THIS FILE STRUCTURE IS HELL TO WORK WITH AND EVERY SINGLE THING PRACTICALLY NEEDS SEPERATE JSON FILES AUGH.
I just spent an hour or two copying a few nessessary items and the ship from the florans in order to use as a temporary (probably permanent unless I can get a pixel artist but I don't really intend to go far with this race) and half that time was spent renaming files and replacing every instance of "floran" with my race's name inside the object and ship files, which even with find+replace in wordpad, is very time consuming and annoying. I also had to go back and fix them by re-replacing the mentions of the race in the descriptions section with Florans. AUGH.

On the plus side, progress is being made, however slowly. The worst part is I don't know which files are redundant and should be left out, and which files are nessessary for bare minimum functionality, and all the different AI text and such Quilavabom* put in... is that stuff nessessary to add in or if those files aren't there will it just use the same default every race does? Where am I going to find sound effects to use? Should I just copy another race's for now? Also, editing and making armors is annoying as hell since there's no grid or reference or anything so how are you supposed to know where in the image you should put the thing.
*I am using the Kineptics as a reference of what files I need. I think I should have chosen a simpler race for that.
