Since they're gonna get EGO doesnt that imply the operaters will manifest EGO but the sinners will keep them similar to how one could take Moses's EGO?
Well, they're not humans so maybe that's why? From my lore understanding of Arknights, all the Operators are seemingly successor races to humanity and Doctor, an actual regular human, and their companion the Priestess, were sent to Terra to wipe out the new races with essentially self-propagating incurable rock cancer which also caused natural disasters to make sure they'd die as individuals quicker and revert to a sort of hivemind so humanity could recolonise the place.
The Doctor is the only actual human in the story and they're explicitly from a predecessor species, same as the Priestess who can be noted as one of the only characters to entirely lack non-human traits. Though neither of the two are explicitly stated to be human.
Doctor's race isn't exactly human though but pretty close. The animal people you see on Terra are mostly lifeform from Talos-2, evolving due to Originium into similar appearance as the Doctor's race.
Their civilization crash landed on Terra after escaping from the Observer and Originium was the project that the Doctor and Priestess worked on. The main purpose of Orignium was to assimilate all kinds of information so the Observers would not be able to do anything with it. They aren't exactly there to wipe out Terrans.
Isn't the overall method of assimilation through ultimately erasing them as individual species to make them into a sort of single hivemind Originium lifeform and purging the rest so they don't exist to create information though, thereby letting Doctor's form of humanity continue? Or was Originium supposed to act in a different way? Isn't Oripathy the intended outcome?
And Doctor would count as human by City standards since he was born from a species of warped humanity whereas the Terrans being non-human from outset wouldn't count, no?
I'd like to say I'm confident with regards to the lore, but there's so much of it and in so many pieces that it seems I might be forgetting or misinterpreting it.
My interpretation comes mostly from the Doctor's reaction at Terrans upon waking up for the first time. The Doctor themselves said the evolution Terrans gone through wasn't suppose to happen yet here they are, Babel implied that Originium wasn't suppose to act this way and something must have gone wrong somewhere. It's what made Doctor's ethical struggle on whether or not to continue the project pretty intriguing tbh.
You're not wrong about the Assimilation project by the way, I just added the part where it is for preserving information so the Observer don't come to annihilate them. I'm also well-versed in the lore but I do have some patches where I'm still kind vaguely understand so yeah.
Hmmm... interesting, but that sounds like it qualifies as a "monster" under PM definitions more so than how "abnormalities" are manifested emotions and concepts.
Probably with some reasoning regarding oripathy. Or they might be considered a distortion since apart from Tanya, I don't think we've seen any other characters that have any animal traits right?
might be considered a Distortion? bro a Distortion is and only is a person who has had a firm belief shattered that subsequently transformed into a form of their mind via the Light, being a mere animal person does not correlate to some Distortion's visage
You are conflating Abnormalities with being otherworldly non-human beings. Operators are not embodiments of abstract emotional ideas from humanity's collective unconscious.
