{Pre-Centricide Posadist + Transhumanist!:}

I love the idea that Posadist and Transhumanist knew each other even before the whole Centricide began. They're both crazy scientists that feed into each others insane ideas and it's awesome sauce. I imagine that they're both scientists from the Cold War period (both working in a laboratory within the Eastern Bloc.) After the incident that would lead Posadist to go into hiding due to becoming a radioactive creepy little creature, they would part ways until reuniting in the Centricide. ↳ {Headcanon ramblings below!:}

Posadist is a Cis-man (He/Him), Bisexual and Asexual. He's a (nuclear) physicist. Trotskyist is his father but it's going to be a while until I get around with designing him. (Q_Q) Transhumanist is Agender (He/It) and Gay (MLM.) He's also a STEM major but specialises in robotics. I like to think that in terms of personality, they're complete opposites. Transhumanist is more cautious, less likely to take risks and wears his proper PPE, while Posadist is impulsive, doesn't care for the rules and his own personal safety (which would later bite him in the butt.) Transhumanist finds Posadist's behaviour and antics frightening yet still finds him endearing anyway. ↳ {Other miscellaneous details!:} ✦=- Posadist is Argentinian and Transhumanist is Czech. ✦=- Transhumanist has a speech disorder (stuttering.) ✦=- My ship name for them is LOVEBUG(.TXT) teehee :3c

The cables of an infallible machine is the flesh’s perfect imitation of the feathers of an incorruptible angel, and as such I can only assume that the key to something greater than even divinity lies within that of which is yet to be constructed, but is inarguably mechanical .

Imagine being a slime mold girl… in a world of bug people.

Perhpas you were once like them. You had friends and family. You had aspirations. You had fears. You had a life. Taken from you or given willingly for the good to the hive. To make something of who you were. Your biomass was desolved and integrated into the slime that is now your flesh.

Or… you are not you. You ate the original. And now you’re just a copy running on alien bioware, made to integrate and pilot flesh-tech alchemical suits pieced together from the dead and monsters.

You are a thing without a form or thoughts of your own. A mimic of the dead.

A soulless fungoid replicant.

Who will never belong among them, only for them.

Made for the “greater good”.

Made to puppet the dead.

Made to devour.

Made.

Angelomorphia: Manifesto of the Angel Movement

I don't agree with everything in this book, but there are a lot of interesting parts. It's one of those rare books which keeps you thinking for a while.

It seems to be written by an anonymous collective of people from Eastern Europe, and the mystery of that makes it even more interesting.

Scroll down for quotes.

"The goal of the angelic movement is to create all the necessary conditions for the transformation of humanity into a race similar to angels, which we call angelmorphs. The abolition of social gender is impossible without the abolition of biological gender. Overcoming global problems is possible through artificial continuation of human evolution. We must make efforts to create new beings more beautiful than the current generations of people. The trait of the new people is defined in the scripture: 'They do not marry or covet, but live like the angels of God'...

Angelization is the use of knowledge of cybernetics and the features of DNA life to transform bio-social structures and external forms towards ethical perfection. An ethically perfect system, devoid of the problem of structural dimorphism, improves the world and will eventually change the mathematical structures of the Universe, returning the state of the world to the ideal, returning the internal perception of lost unity and love, completely impossible in the current world...

Our ugly damned world and our mortals doomed to suffering, loneliness, illness and complete despair and death of life is one continuous mockery of the life-affirming words of life and peace. Life is pure sustained horror, and death is the concentration of life itself, turned against itself. We could fly on angel wings in love and freedom, but we prefer to crawl in the dirt, scurry like worms, eating our own kind and considering it the norm, going from a vile house with people giving birth to a lousy refrigerator with corpses. We need to completely reconsider our existence and our relationship with the world around us...

Nature is an unethical product of the action of the blind will to life that gave birth to us, and we must, in addition to ourselves, transform everything we can touch...

In the Apocrypha, Christ says that women can overcome the restrictions imposed on their sex by society by becoming a spiritual androgyne. It is worth noting that in the writings of Clement of Alexandria we find a postulate that men also need the same transformation, who 'will not enter the kingdom of heaven until they cease to be men'. However, if an androgyne is a mixture of gender properties, then an angel is a complete absence of any gender properties...

The motive of deprivation of sex, and therefore of corruption, the restoration of the soul to its original asexual state is a well-known Gnostic plot. The Gnostics also interpreted the essence of the demiurge as an androgyne who created people in his own image and likeness, but at the same time divided them in two. The Albigensian Gnostics considered sexual intercourse to be a diabolical process, and in their ideas a demon was located in a pregnant woman. The Gnostics generally paid special attention to reproduction, since it was this that served to captivate souls in the earthly body. It is not surprising that the Albigenses (Cathars) had many sexual restrictions, and even the Puritans, who considered the 'marital duty' an obligation, did not reach their level of asceticism...

God's words at the creation of the world 'be fruitful and multiply' also did not carry the meaning that the canonical interpretation of the Bible ascribes to them. Translated from Hebrew, these words have a similar meaning, and the first means 'to be fruitful' (effective, bearing fruit), while 'multiply' can rather be translated as 'increase, multiply'. One can see an analogy with self-improvement, because immediately after this God bequeaths to people the reign over all earthly creatures. However, modern churches distort this phrase, ordering people to give birth to more and more children and raise them in the traditional social order...

Without natural reproduction, original sin would simply cease to be transmitted...

The theme of humanity's transition to angelic status has been raised since the beginning of Christianity: 'In the life to come, men will neither marry nor be given in marriage, bu will be like the angels in heaven' (Matthew 22:30). According to the Gospel of Mark, Jesus said that resurrected believers would be 'like' (hos) the angels. The author of Luke, who adapted Mark's Gospel, amplified this statement by stating that Jesus said that believers were 'equal to the angels (isangeloi)." They were equal to the angels for three reasons: because they do not marry, because they are immortal, and because they are children of God. In turn, resurrection ceased to be understood in many sects as something that follows death...

The fifth point of the theses of the Christian Transhumanist Association states: 'We believe that the intentional use of technology, combined with following Christ, can enable us to grow in our identity as humans created in the image of God.' If you delve into the history of Christianity you can see that in many ways Christians have been negative about gender, social gender, marriage and natural reproduction, and ideas of transforming a person into a more elevated being in direct communication with God have always been popular. However, today's church are not interested in this. Their merging with state institutions has not led to anything good, and now people who consider themselves Christians have lost all understanding of Christianity itself...

Many find the process of biological reproduction disgusting - well, technology will allow us to make this process aesthetically acceptable. Growing a semi-divine creature in an incubator is a very progressive idea, but not exactly new. Since ancient times, alchemists have attempted to create a homunculus - an artificial person. Unlike a golem, a clay robot, partially animated by inhalation of the Spirit and Kabbalistic formulas, a homunculus is a full-fledged person, made of flesh and blood. The homunculus has a will,m it has a soul - that is, the alchemist must literally repeat the act of creation, breathe living soul into the flesh. Symbolically the pinnacle of the path is the androgyne...

A truly ethical form of life does not obey the current laws of nature, which are incompatible with any ethics. For it to emerge and exist, no being must be subject to exploitation or self-exploitation. We build our angelic identity and angelic civilization around the idea of the primacy of ethics over the natural...

We have always maintained and will maintain that man should not be a reproductive and working machine for reproducing his own kind, which is what nation-states demand of us, wishing only to affirm their ancient ideas in eternity. That the rat race of modern nation-states breeds so much pain and injustice that many feel that they have no choice but to step into the abyss...

The currently popular form of feminism cannot accept Angelomorphism because the latter requires a 'trans-transition' for all of humanity into a sexless form of existence. For them, this will require a revision of the entire body policy of the movement, which is extremely dogmatic for them - the body should not change from desires or stereotypes. Accordingly, neither the bodies of those living now nor of future generations can be changed from the 'natural given'. Standard feminism, not reaching the theses of postgenderism, having roots in women's mechanisms of reproductive protection, is a synonym for 'pink patriarchy' and is not a progressive idea. Its essence lies in the fact that a woman is made into an infantile, neurotic object, incapable of being responsible for her life, a paranoid, while sincerely believing in her independence. Such an object will not actively resist either external structures of power or her own nature, but will only maintain the status quo that is convenient for everyone. The main mistake of feminists is that they portray women as victims of the system, although in fact they are the same co-authors of the system as men...

The existence of men and women is deeply unethical. Testosterone and male genes shorten the lifespan of a person, making him more aggressive, while women are forced to suffer all their lives for the sake of the ability to give birth and then in agony to give birth to the same suffering creatures all their lives. Natural reproduction is a source of oppression ad suffering for women. Gender lays the foundation for the subordination of the female body through mutual sexuality, and sexuality in turn forms gender and stratifies society...

Testosterone has a strong intrauterine effect, but estrogens have a very strong effect on the female brain during puberty, rebuilding many connections in it and physically killing a large number of neurons, and the brain decreases in size. In men, synapses and connections are mainly destroyed, but the neurons themselves remain intact. During the pruning process, learning ability suffers, and the brain of both sexes is rewired to move from learning and play to intersocial relationships. Hormones affect many areas of the brain, including synaptic plasticity and maturation..."
