So here's a hypothetical question for you. Some ascended ancients were screwing around with the workings of the universe one day and through some cosmic accident you've now been born as a Wraith instead of a human like you previously were. You've got all the powers and abilities of a Wraith of whatever gender you happen to be (drones don't count as a gender). In addition alll your normal human family/friends/significant others have gone Wraith with you. So basically your entire life has become a Wraith equivalent/mirror version of what it is now when you're human. You've been living as a Wraith since you were born to so all your past memories and the like are identical to what they are now but Wraithified just like the rest of your life/relations. So that usedcar you went to look at last week was a dart, and that bully that used to beat you up when you were little was one of those boneface guys, you get the idea, use your imagination. You've also eaten humans before and don't really find it anything out of the ordinary, everyone does it.
You're still you though so you've got free will and your sense of personal identity (hey when ascended ancients mess with the universe weird things happen ok). You don't have to sport the goofy haircut, hang out in a dank hiveship or say cheesy lines if you don't want to. You'll start out on a hiveship but if you don't want to stay you're not required to "play a role" so to speak. You can do whatever your heart desires with your Wraithness, you're not restricted.
As you're doing whatever it is you've decided to do as a Wraith though some guys in green show up and tell you that they can make you a human if you want them to. Do you give it all up to be human again? Keeping in mind that because of the changes all your life history has basically been transformed into a mirror Wraith version? So turning human because you want to go back to Earth and reunite with your family isn't going to get you anywhere. They're all Wraiths now, and they'll stay Wraiths even if you change human. Earth will be a strange alien place to you.
Here's a bonus question. What about if the last part happens in reverse. You're normal human you walking along one day when some Wraith jump out at you as you're walking past some pinetrees. Rather than eat you though they tell you that they can make you into a Wraith like them, after which you'll go off into the galaxy and live it up Wraith style. Assume for the purposes of the scenario that you know they're not going to trick you. That's to say if you agree to be turned into a Wraith that's what you'll get, as opposed to waking up in a motel bathtub full of ice with a note to call 911 taped to your chest. If you do go with them though your family/friends/life will not change like it did in the firest scenario. You'll be a Wraith but everything else will stay human.
Do you give up your humanity for life as an immortal intergalactic space vampire?
Lastly could a mod add a yes/no poll option for each of the two scenarios.
so
Scenario 1
Yes, I'd go back to human
No, I'd stay a Wraith
Scenario 2
Yes, I'd turn into a Wraith
No, I'd stay human
