I don't understand much about either setting, so I don't care.

Then why post?

It's called an abstention. Basically, no one will be wondering what I will vote or if it could change the results.

But they wouldn't anyway if you didn't post

The math proves that it could be important to know my vote. It's a precaution.

In a sec...

Angel's parents are taken a bit aback. They were expecting someone six or seven--someone who would be in class with Angel.
They enter, and after an awkward period of several seconds Angel's father asks, "So...do you have a younger sister?"

Let's see what you do...

That said, Slimes need not be asexual. In Dragon Quest Monsters, Slimes can be male or female. Also Red Slimes AKA She-slimes are a separate "species" from regular Slimes (like Slog) and need not be female (I believe you can find this fact in DQ9 when you scan an enemy with a certain ability Edit: Checked no... It says She-slimes are a genetic mutation of a normal slime, but doesn't confirm gender one way or the other.). She-slimes were apparently named by adventures who could not tell a male Slime from a female Slime.
Granted some Slimes when strong enough can also produce asexually by splitting in half. Also Slimes like many monsters in the DQM world can reproduce with other monsters. They lay eggs like Pokémon in the first DQM, but the eggs aren't like Pokémon eggs where the egg is a baby of the female's species. Instead the monsters cross breed to form a different monster.
For example, say we have a Slime like Slog. And a member of the bird family called a Draky and we breed them. The resulting monster will be a Wing Slime.

I mention this because I imagine that its possible that we'll eventually find features that will allow either a breeding system, fusion system, or the like that may run on similar logic.

Well...if we take the assumption that slimes reproduce by fission, clearly stated when I made that statement, then the slimes are (by definition) asexual.

Theory:Every theorycrafting involves Souls, Soul Charge, Soul Stars, or the Oversoul.
No exceptions.

Disproof: My theory about the Warrens being a spacecraft.

Theory: Because of Ciro's connection to the OS, and reaching his True Potential ,he could summon the Souls of people he had never even met before; and command them to fight for him.

Possible.

True, but you'd also have to have medical knowledge. You can't just plug metal parts into people's bodies, you have to know how it's going to react, and body anatomy to make surrogate parts that work.

Well, he could, but he'd probably need more test subjects soon...
Note to self: Don't join his research.

"Ah. That seems like an...acceptable plan. Anyways...me and Ash, does anyone else want to come? We should--"
Angel's mother's phone rang.
"Oh! I thought this would only be an hour. One moment...Hi, mom! Sorry, I had the wrong address. It's at 742 14th Street. Can I stay--okay, I guess..."
She hung up.
"Um, Selina, Connie, I have two plans and choose quick. One: Connie hides her wings and says she's the friend I got invited to play-date with. Two: Connie hides herself and Selina pretends to be my friend. Either way, the really weird people need to get out! My parents are coming!"
