Taskmaster Construct

[Brilenus]

This is the next step from a Guardian Construct from what I can tell.

Good points:
-Shielded
-Can create their own constructs, provided you can tell them how to create said construct.
-Able to hold together several shields on their own
-Can repair shields
-Easy to add on to

Bad Points:
-Hard to make
-Hard to understand concept
-Requires thinking in concepts to create


For this, start by making a Guardian Construct and letting it build up a decent amount of energy, then tie it into another set of energy sources.

Next you want to remove the programming for making shields, but add programming for making a Guardian Construct. You should be able to get this working by thinking of how it feels when you create a un-programmed construct, then thinking of how you program a Guardian Construct. If you want it to make one of the Guardian Constructs, you will have to tell it to do so, or add in programming to do it automatically under certain times.

If you can heal people, you may also want to tell it how to do so as well. Think about healing, yet do not think about healing anyone. This should allow it to heal anyone you tell it specifically to heal.

You can also add any programming you want, provided that you tell it to accept changes made by you. Good ideas for this are having it able to create your favorite constructs on demand, increasing the power of incoming telepathic messages from certain people, turning itself into a shield if all of the shields it is supporting break, or even healing you when you are hurt/sick.

I am sorry if you cannot program in concepts, but I seem unable to create this without doing so, thus I cannot tell you how to do it in any way except concepts.

This is a great construct. I have one bound to a peice of quartz now.

[Brilenus]

Glad others are finding my constructs useful. Thank you for letting me know about that.

[Guardian Michael]

are things like the teaching it to heal limited by your ability or can i program some sort of learning technique into it?

Task master is alot harder than guardian >.<

[Brilenus]

If you know how, yes you can program them to learn.

[stolide]

P.S Learning constructs can be bad. If you do that, have plenty of fail safes.

[Brilenus]

Thank you for mentioning that stolide, I had completely forgotten to mention that.

If you make something that can learn, put a non-changable piece of programming in it that is easy to activate which will either turn it off, or destroy it. If you really want to be safe, put in several, including some automatic ones.

i think i think in concepts, thats why i can make complex constructs... but i can never explain it to someone i'm teaching what i ean... brileneus, any words to share?

btw, nice twist on the guardian. i like the healing.

[Brilenus]

That is something that I have noticed - conceptual thought is almost impossible to explain in words, because we lack the words to explain it. Makes it quite difficult to teach anything, because you have to just say what you did, and how it should end up, and hope the other person is skilled enough to figure it out on their own.

And the main reason for the healing is because it is impossible to avoid 100% of what is coming at you, so something will eventually cause damage.

[stolide]

I taught someone how i did it in concepts by sending them the feeling with telepathy. Thats just about the only way to actually tell them.

[Brilenus]

Indeed. You can explain it, or try to send the concept itself. Other than that, not many ways to teach anyone. Explain, send concept, send example.

If anyone thinks of an easier way to teach conceptual based constructs, please let us know.

i cannot wait to make a gaurdian construct, psi is so cool

[Barriss Offee]

Stolide, I read way back on the second post on this thread that you bound your taskmaster to a piece of quartz. Um ... exactly how did you do that? Just PM me how, since that would be easiest.

[Brilenus]

Basically, binding an energy formation to a crystal is rather simple once you get the hang of it. First, you need a crystal that you can get access to for a moment or two, and a clear mind during this time. From that point, you send your energy into the crystal and more or less map out the energy of it, and where the boundaries are. Once you have done that, you just have the move the construct inside the crystal. This is easiest to do if you have the construct fade out of existence where it is, and then fade into existence inside the crystal.

[Fearn]

Something else that seems to help me: shape the construct the same as the crystal. All though I don't think it has any real impact, I just can't bring myself to fit a sphere (the shape of most of my constructs) into an oblong crystal.
