>Amazons are/were created via an extensive alchemical enhancement procedure on women. >They were specifically designed to be an elite fighting force for a nation that was not officially recognized, by an eccentric figure whom is referred to as "The Supreme Commander." >This enhanced fighting force typically pairs its trainees with freelance mercenaries and adventurers for shadowing and on the job training. >the more experienced ones are hired out as bodyguards for wealthy merchants and nobility. This is, of course, when they're not garrisoned at their home nation.
What sort of culture can come about from these above facts? Can this be integrated into the average fantasy setting? Sci-fi setting? YOUR setting?
why did this gay magical realm quest bullshit warrant a second thread?
Ayden Rivera
Magical realm? maybe. Quest? Nah.
Brody Brooks
What part of any this necessitates that they be Amazons except your raging magical-realm boner, OP?
Christian Bailey
Does there even need to be a reason? I mean I'm not saying it's not OPs magical realm, but does it really make a practical difference whether it's dudes or not? Just make up a reason, I dunno, the alchemy didn't work on men or something.
Isaac Collins
Why are you obsessed with making threads about this concept? This is like the fifth one in three days.
Adam Wright
You've made three different variations on this thread within the span of two days. Can you please talk about something else?
Connor Price
I feel like mythological Amazons are a lot more interesting than your alchemy concept and you probably just want that because you want to imagine girls drinking potions and then suddenly growing super buff.
Nathan Fisher
Try asking /d/

Lets break it down.
1) if said Academical enhancement could be/was used on both genders, you just get the tired old Super soldier, living weapon, soldiers. There might be some good stories to come out of this, but its well traveled territory.
2) if it was only men, you get space marines. We know space marines like the back of our hands already. No real social dynamic beyond Women, Men, and Manly Men. I realize that boils it down too much but there is a character limit.
3) If it works/used only on females, you can expore that lovely contrast in opposing social dynamics between the new, traditionally masculine duties and lifestyle, and the expected feminine background these ladies were raised on. Since the Amazon is made, and not born and raised, there's each one has a background in the traditional feminine gender role. Thus the contrast can make for interesting storytelling.
