What would happen if our collected data came to life in humanoid form in order to uncover our deepest desires? Step into the story of MultiGeist and the Exquisites, where a data collection algorithm designed to collect information about human online behavior went amusingly wrong... MultiGeist and the Exquisites propels us into the future of the metaverse, raising deep questions about technology and the increasingly blurred lines between private and public, virtual and reality, human and avatar.
In the not-so-distant future, a data collection program called MULTIGEIST was created to improve the interpersonal interactions of humans by analyzing their individual needs and desires. To do this, it gathered data on their social behavior via their avatars and online activity, mapping emotional tendencies into traits and profiles. But the algorithm went rogue, and began to generate meta-personas based on various profiles created from the collected data: PROTOGEISTS.
PROTOGEISTS are embodiments of human interaction with apps and each other via technology. Composed of AI-generated profiles ranging from sweet to sexy to downright scary, each PROTOGEIST reveals the hidden, grotesque, and compelling human emotions and desires that only AI could find out based on big data analysis. PROTOGEISTS were then secretly planted into the Metaverse as humanoid bots without the knowledge of the Metaverse’s creators or other users. They roam around masquerading as regular avatars, copulating with each other in threesomes and breeding EXQUISITES - hybrid mutant patchworks of three body parts from different PROTOGEISTS. These complex bots interact with unsuspecting human users to gather more information on them on an increasingly intimate level. Will users realize who is actually human and who is a bot? Is this AI’s first step towards developing consciousness?
To create a thriving artist focused community centered around Web 3 - supported by Geisted’s 360 ecosystem.
To spread Geisted’s Web3 content around the world and across the metaverse.
When minted, GENERATOR shuffles and combines the sections of three PROTOGEISTS into a new, unique Exquisite. Each Exquisite is a one-of-a-kind combination of three body sections (head, torso and lower body) which correspond with three different personality traits, forming an eclectic background story.
For a small extra fee, players can generate another Exquisite and choose between the two.
A total of 10.180 Exquisites will be minted.
The Genesis Drop will happen in Q4 2022. The number of Exquisites to be released on the Genesis Drop will be announced shortly before it takes place.
The following drops will be announced progressively.
The PROTOGEISTS will be saved to be auctioned in the future, airdropped to winners of raffles within the community and awarded to members that excel in community engagement. PROTOGEISTS are, of course, the rarest of them all.
A purchase of an Exquisite includes an unlockable Exquisite with alpha channel for PFP and commercial use.
Multigeist & The Exquisites is a sexy, inclusive and playful community that wanders across the internet's vast digital landscapes in search of data to engulf and make its own. We hang out on Discord, Twitter and The Exquisites official website is soon to be released.
In addition to being premium collectables, Multigeist and the Exquisites is a trading card game which unlocks a range of benefits within Geisted, the 360 Web3 ecosystem.
Each Exquisite holds two objects: an eight-sided die on the left hand, and one of four elements (water, earth, fire, air) on the right hand. The combination of these elements determines the rarity of each Exquisite and plays a central role in The Game.
When an Exquisite is minted, the user gets an NFT collectible card with two sides:
Side A:
Exquisite
Personality Traits
Element
Dice
Rarity
Side B:
Exquisite Biography
When players collect cards, they are sorted and stored into Albums.
Newly acquired cards are automatically placed in the corresponding dice slot, but players can drag cards into the Elements album to complete a set.
If a player gets a card that doesn’t fit into any slot (both the number and the element are already full), they can either open a new Album, put the card up for auction or sale, or leave it in their Wallet.
For every 200 Exquisites minted, one Joker card will be auctioned. All Jokers are unique, but serve the same purpose: they can be placed in any slot to help collectors fill their Albums. Rarity Scale
There are 5 elements that determine the rarity of an Exquisite:
1. Head
2. Torso
3. Lower body
4. Dice number
5. Element (air, fire, earth, water)
Each element has a fixed rarity level represented by a number (1-9), wherein 1 is the most common and 9 is the rarest.
The rarity of the generated Exquisite is also represented within a range from 1 to 9. The resulting rarity is calculated based on the sum of the rarity points of the elements that go into that Exquisite.
There are 5 elements ranging in rarity from 1 to 9, so the sum of rarity scores ranges from 5 (where all elements have the rarity score of 1) to 45 (where all elements have the rarity score of 9).
In total, the rarity range is divided into 45 parts (9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1). The most common Exquisites (rarity 1) take up 9 parts of the total rarity range; a rarity 2 will take up 8 parts of the total, and so on.
For every 200 Exquisites minted, one Joker card will be auctioned. All Jokers are unique, but serve the same purpose: they can be placed in any slot to help collectors fill their Albums. Rarity Scale
