@magistralucis this feels like your cup of tea ☕
I think that we as a society are ignoring a crucial aspect of the Necrontyr having an aristocracy: cheesy romance tropes. For example:
--Obyron having to do valet duties for Zahndrekh. Including homoerotic shaving. Did the necrontyr have facial hair? I don’t know and I don’t care. What matters is the inherent eroticism of shaving your lord, being trusted to hold a razor to his throat. Literally every single horny lord/knight trope.
--this post
Tumblr media
--Zandrekh sugar daddying Obyron, “you deserve fine things.” or “Nonsense! you’ve served me so well, it’s the least I could do.” 
--We know Djoseras and Zultanekh had a correspondence. We can also surmise, based on Djoseras’....everything, that there’s a 90% chance they never consummated or maybe even acknowledged their love. But that does not preclude yearning letters, with their love underlying every word. 
--Someone (Zahndrekh?) giving Imotekh a crash course in how to look and act like a noble. Imotekh showing up at court like Cinderella. “when did he get hot?” “always has been.”
--arranged marriages! The triarchy did this to settle dynastic wars. Hilariously, Oltyx probably would have been married off, since he’s the younger son.
--elaborate uniforms! fashion as a power play! Zandrekh is amazing at this.
--the role of the crypteks in all of this. They kind of fill the priest niche, and we know they would take kids from all classes if they had potential. But they’re always on the outside looking in. I bet they were supposed to be celibate, which leads to Scandal. Arch-crypteks filling the Renaissance cardinal role?
-- Also, Trazyn thinks getting Orikan to break his sacred vow is hot. Orikan is like “you fool. you are hardly the only person I’ve broken my vows for.”
--Overlord Trazyn, confirmed bachelor. Famous for dodging attempts to marry him off.
--Class difference in romance in general. “My father the phaeron sent my poor suitor to the front lines. He returned covered in glory and is now a suitable match.” This could be an Oltyx/Yenekh trope, with, Yenekh looking dashing as fuck in his dress uniform.
--It's important to note that the Olytx/Yenekh class difference isn't so much noble/commoner as it is Mr. Darcy/Elizabeth Bennet. Do with that what you will.

Concerning Necron engrams for those with personality, are they essentially a proper "copy" of the original brain/soul? All code and data compiled into a replica of who they used to be while the originals are long-destroyed (i.e. the guy from SOMA, he died years ago but a robot was built with an AI that's all his memories and personality)?
Or is it something else...?
It’s deliberately vague. At face value, it’s your aforementioned “proper copy”, but the writing about them has taken great pains to highlight that the process involved something more, was something more than that, and whatever it was managed to encode a lingering “self” within the Necrons in a way that is without technological comparison.
They don’t have souls like an organic species does, they don’t have a warp presence or reflection, but they have something that is part of their engrammic makeup that is immeasurably complex and extremely unique.

I'm scared of a chimpanzee because I know it will kill me. I'm scared of an orangutan because I know it will teach me things about myself I wasn't willing to confront

When do we see Oltyx with his CD player and his linkin park discs? When do we get to see our boy JAM?
Only Djoseras has poor enough tastes to listen to Linkin Park. Oltyx is obviously listening to MCR. On a device befitting the noble and technologically advanced necron race: the iPod nano.
