Clovis Bray I: Difference between revisions

Line 36: Line 36:
Toward the end of his life, Bray appeared to suffer from megalomania and delusions of grandeur, with his diary entries proclaiming his intent to become the "LUCA", or Last Universal Common Ancestor (a term borrowed from biology), of all future human interstellar civilization. He saw his family as only being relevant insofar as being extensions of his will, a trait seen in psychopaths.

According to his own notes, Bray apparently had an antipathy toward women. This, combined with his megalomania, may have prompted his decision to donate his own mitochondrial DNA to his children in lieu of their mother's during their embryonic development. He was also obsessed with genetics, especially the continuity of his own, and seemed to resent his adopted granddaughter [[Anastasia Bray|Ana]] because of unspecified issues he took with her "genetics." Despite his desire to become an Exo himself, Clovis I would spin up several instances of the same person's exomind to further study the exact ways in which they inevitably died suffering, suggesting a lack of empathy or regard for ethics.

He was also obsessed with micromanaging his family line, and seemed to resent his adopted granddaughter [[Anastasia Bray|Ana]] over her genetics, though it's unclear whether this is outright racism or simply rejection of non-Bray DNA.
