Ahoy, all.  
 
I think I'm getting a good handle on my Mordesh Medic character concept, but am still feeling my way around the culture of the chua.  What I'm aiming at, presently, is a parody send-up of the archetypal "Great White Hunter" of British and French fiction.  Somewhere in between The Steam House by Verne and Allan Quatermaine by Haggard, done as satire.  Something in similar vein to Professor Grordbort's stuff by Weta Workshop.
 
The question is, really, how viable is it?  How coherent are the chua able to be in their pursuits?  Trophy hunting seems, in some ways, less actively-industrially-inventing than the "loremageddon" page suggests is typical... but in many ways the Grordbort style of send-up seems a good match for that style of narrative humour used in writing them.http://drgrordborts.com/dr-grordbort-s-infallible-aether-oscillators-where-science-meets-violence/

In my opinion,
 
Trophy hunting could be something that a Chua chases, but it would have to be in the context of Science.
This could relate to building the best bomb that kills as much Aurin as possible in a single blast, those kind of things.
 
The question indeed would be how long would a Chua be interested in this, or keep his attention.

I think trophy hunter could fit the concept if you will approach it from more technological side. First of all why not hunt for mechanical trophies? Some old tech can be as fascinating as living beings. You could always show off before others: "Hey wanna come in, see some vintage hyperspace Coffea arabica L disintegrator?" - "That's an old coffee machine." - "That's the vintage hyperspace Coffea arabica L disintegrator, hon."
 
Though if you focus on living beings and view them also as mechanisms - you could not just add skulls or fangs to you collection, but hunt creatures and keep them alive in your laboratory in some reservoirs in different conditions showing and explaining their body functioning comparing to other mechanisms. Something like practical encyclopedia: how blood flows through veins, how heart functions and else. That's creepy at one point, but the idea is rather interesting.

How about Zoology?  Cataloguing [trophies] in the interest of comparative biology?

Thank you gentlemen [monogender].  I believe a small, tittering chuckle followed by a polite harrumph may be in order. 
Plus, the "zoological collection and research laboratory" gives definite ideas for decor items to strive for, as well as the useful roleplay/story hook/costume ideas.

			as for my chua character... i have to say i chosen a neutral alignment, he/she has no idea what he wants from nexus, all that concerns him/her is what she can find, what hostiles there are and what can she/he do to help as for back story, he/she was a basic chua, just meddling and muddling with gadgets until something decided to latch onto the back of her/his head what it was was an experimental enhancement implant that seeks out new ideal candidates, fortunately or... unfortunately?... little lucky was unaware of this and got modified as a blank slate, the rest of his/her past is a mystery because he/she blacked out from pain from the implant suddenly latching onto him/her and knocking the poor chua out
