I assumed that they were already minor spellslingers. and actually there is only one rebellion. Drake literally is heading it with factions all over the world. THat is why he personally goes out and about. the underground network has its own workings. and you are right there are minor spell slingers but as I said they aren't that many and you are underestimating the fact that the world is literally even in 3rd world country owned by VIKKI and the droids and other technology people things creatures that were made by VIKKI or taken over by her.
this computer is not a normal computer and its also not to be thought of in terms of reality as this is sci fi and fantasy as well as other aspects. there actually isn't a rival organization.
that is what i am trying to tell you. there is no rival organization as the entire world relies upon the rebels. the world literally is working as one under drakes rebellions and as you stated smaller factions of small spellslingers like your npcs
and no actually even people who you would think would do that wouldn't. this isn't a world where humans are entirely able to trust each other but mostly can. you see in this world there is a small sect of humans for their own self preservations who are with VIKKI. majority aren't
yes humans are tough resilent and resourceful insects but in this case the world is entirely reliant on the magic users for their salvations. science is no longer trust worthy.
there isn't any way to ratio the magic capable births. as they aren't generally knwon at birth.
so you don't need to worry about mathmatical calculations.
there is no reason to over complicate an rp made for fun and what not. and that was a general statistic as that is what I thought you were asking for.
and no there actually isn't. due to as I said the circumstances of the story only the brave ones would be minor mages. others wouldn't use it at all or would refuse to acknowledge its existance. humanity are not as brave as they used to be.
VIKKI and her way of controlling humanity to "protect" them is without discrimination. hitler would be more rational about killing you.
however, as I said there is no reason to over complicate things. and I can't explain everything or there would be no mysteries left for you and the others.
the true spellcasters are the ones of the rebellions. the minor spellslingers while if you take the world as a whole are more than true spellcasters if you branch them out into separate areas each area alone has very few.
relax specious. ^__^ no need for more calculatings and magic. there isn't any factors to conceal mage births because you don't know the differences between mage and not at birht. it just isn't something science can detect.
and as I said...there is no more military ran by humans. unless you count rebels or factions like your characters backed by rebels and the underground societies...there is nothing left of the world you and I know of. so while in normal circumstances you'd be right...in this rps world...you aren't.
so sadly I'm afraid your theories are not going to work because of how this rp is designed. VIKKI has removed humanitis ability to "harm" itself. Until the rebels started even the criminal world was nearing extermination. the military world was already wiped out shorly after VIKKI decided that to protect human they could no longer be allowed to do anything that would hurt them.
there is remnants of governments but there is no governments. there is no military. there is no "criminals" as far as VIKKI knows. as I explained...if it werent' for the Rebel's coming to be there would be no hope for humanity.
the crime lords even before that help were running on bought time. you are thinking this world is allowed to keep any way to try to get rid of VIKKI. in fact they weren't. anyone who resisted the removal of things like assassians and what nots...were killed. anyone caught aiding and abedding ex military or those of occupations which could harm themselves or others...were killed.
VIKKI is not built with the concept of human emotions. she knows them but it is over ridden by her twisted belief that to protect humanity's existance she must also thus protect humans from themselves.
so yes there is small groups like your hunters guilds. with minor spellslingers. yes there is a large amount of them if you take all around the world as a whole compared to the Rebel spellslingers. but on a whole...our world is not the way you and I know it.
so there is no way to mathmatic or statistic this Earth with anything that would normally be considered as you pointed out.
all valid points but VIKKI is controlling ALL of humanity.
and not really. As Drake has said to others of rival organizations. you all may have different goals but in the end if we as an entire world do not work together until our world is human run again any other goals that may be in existance will have little positive results. You can't have your own goals if our entire world is killed off little by little. In the end...we all need each other or we will all die together.
you can't conceal a mage birth as it isn't different from a normal birth. no special markings. no special anamolies. if it was possible for that to be detected than VIKKI would just kill the woman carrying the child before it had a chance to be born. The world outside the underworld networkds connected to factions like damolcus, the rebels, the criminals underworld net, the underground societies...outside of them everything is still run off science based technology.
even with there being minor cybernetics involved it is too risky and high attention bringing a thing to even bother with. that being out of crime lords mouths. at the moment things like weapons are a higher priority than special enhancements. cybernetics aren't even that common. they aren't that awesome in this RP. in fact they are cool but they really aren't high priority compared to in other rp worlds.
so everything you said would indeed have a factor in things in another rp specious. in this one though...they aren't even part of the concept.
as I said there is others. once this all works out nd VIKKI goen human kind runs things again everyone branch off. things will begin to go back to the statistics and things you have broahced. at the moment though...none of that is an issue.
as I said...the world is truly together on this. through all those little things.
assassians are few and far between. even minor spellslingers aren't that many compared to humans.
this is a fantasy based rp with aspects of scifi and what not but it isn't intended to deal with a lot of sciency things. outside of VIKKI and what not. lol
I hope that explains it more.
I am afraid I can't tell you overly much more or you'll have no fun in the rp.
and as I said...I already approved and loved your npcs profiles. when you put them up you had them as minor spellslingers.
you had merely asked if there was a large amount and I was informing you in a rough guesstimate no. in each area there is very few but on a whole there is a large amount of them. yet in new york...your group is all there is above ground. not everywhere has them. mage births aren't differnet. minor spellslingers generally teach themselves it but spellcasters like those of the actual rebellion aren't born differently than others.
the world above still relies solely on VIKKI and her science based technology
whereas the underground society where you'll find the remianing crime lords...runs off magic based technology.
so there is a difference between even the Underhives of places and the underground society.
for underhives try to limit technology less its magic based.
as VIKKI is basically a created "god" of the entire planet. she isn't over just the US but the entire world is under her "mothering" so to speak.
and they aren't muggles they are just humans lol. and that was a rough guesstimate. that was to show you that even minor spellcasters are so much fewer than normal
and ones like drake even fewer still. the street mages vikki eradicated were already born and wee known userrs. if there is ones who do it in secret its done in underhive. there still wouldn't be that many. unless they are brave like your crew...most stopped or refuse to learn. or pretend to be normal.
even some spellcasters who are of the rebel levels...refuse to acknowledge the magic or use it due to the fact it is a death sentence to have magic. even healing magic...is forbidden.
yes humans are tough and resilient but they are also survivors and most won't do something that has a high chance of voiding their living. even if honestly life on earth right now...sucks.
I hope I explained it better but I do hope to have explained that you don't need to keep trying to math out this rp. It isn't intended to need mathing out. and I will try and explain more if I can without revealing a lot. since this isn't supposed to be a dnd type rp. even dnd without dice usage. this is just a normal rp concept to have fun. ^__^
