I... I have to say, I really like this idea, namely because it'd be awesome to play a character who slowly but surely realizes who and what they really are.
re: Memories, if you allow nonhuman characters, you're going to need some weird SCIENCE!!!! way to turn them human. And I think you should, because characters slowly realizing that they are not and never were human seems really amazing to me. Like...
Imagine say someone from IDK Cybertron, they just feel wrong. Like you've got Optimus Prime (Owen Pax?) and he's a truck driver, and while he likes people he feels so much more comfortable around his trucks. He's always had this weird sense of feeling... too small. And this inexplicable longing for the stars

Yeah, that's a good point. Idk. Maybe the characters who are not human are actually personality/memory inserted into actual human bodies and given human lives until they realize OH SHIT MY BODY WAS METAL/FURRY WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. etc. etc.
re: powers - yeah, that's a good idea. I really want people with no powers to get the chance to have them. So maybe no powers for anyone to start out with but then a slow progression of gaining new ones or gaining old ones back.
re: Dark City - yeah, it was some chemical mumbo jumbo so I think we'll go with that. It's a real and breathing world, it's not virtual, so I think we'd stick with that. But nanomachines can still work... Hrm.
