Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.

An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.

Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.

Ruins, Rubble…and A Handful of Dust, Part 14

Ian Caladharas

Thorondor “Ian” Caladharas is the 18 year old heir to one of the first of the Merchant Houses. An intelligent, independent teenager; Ian has a tendency towards irreverence and and frustration. In all honesty, he doesn’t care what his grandfather says he is heir to, he just wants to have a normal life. Or at least as normal a one as possible. (As my skills improved I made some revamps to this characters appearance to reflect aging and such as well. The top picture is how he is currently modeled. )

    As one gets older, it is not the data getting lost so much as the indexing errors. The memories are there, the references to them begin to fade and go stale. Lose enough of those and the memories become inaccessible, or at least difficult. Kobalt seems to have fixed that problem for her.

    @Figment: Good catch on her owning the company that created Kobalt. I had completely missed it. It also means that she knows its specifications and how it works. It also implies that she may be a nano-tech engineer.

      Well, actually, from what I understand, the real problem is that human memory works a bit like JPEG compression, only worse. The brain tries to extract common aspects of memories (and this process never really stops, no matter how old a memory is), which is why similar memories get hard to separate; and the rounding off errors mean that memories mutate, which is why witnesses are so unreliable, and also how we can actually make up memories from whole cloth.

    It shouldn’t be too difficult for a Kobalt ‘connected’ individual to encode and store memories in the fabric of existence rather than their personal ‘meat brain’. Nin-Banda may actually have a useful ‘Talent’ without realizing it.

    So someone with what appears to be a “perfect” memory of when this all started??
    Things are about to get very interesting!!!

    She would likely have memories of the events of the buildup leading to the upload but it all actually starts with Dumuzi, who comes from a (much?) earlier time.
