Talk:Quinx Squad/@comment-10733658-20141103091525

Any thoughts on how we want to classify the members of the squad, since Ch.4 has introduced some implication that they are something completely new as opposed to the One-Eyed Ghouls we saw in the last series. While Dr. Kanou created ones with a kakuhou transplanted to make essentially a superior form of Ghoul through hybrid vigor, these ones (according to Akira) have a Quinque placed into their body instead and have limits to their abilities since they are closer to a human. (I take calling them "human" with a grain of salt, since it seems like semantics to me. These guys are okay, because they're "humans with a quinque installed" and not Ghouls, nope. Not at all, so it is okay for CCG to employ them.)

Based on what little we know about the creation of Quinque, it seems like the kakuhou is modified and given limiters before being implanted into the person's body. So they start out with a low RC level just above that of a normal human, and can eat human food but begin to gain varying degrees of a Ghoul's abilities. (IE: Urie has the Sensory stuff, but said his healing is very limited.)

The question is whether regular use of their abilities would eventually cause them to become full-fledged One-Eyed Ghouls or not. If it is, then they're basically like Kaneki and Dr. Kanou's other creations only with a limiter placed on them. If not, then they're something entirely new.
