Suffused with Sound 3
Before I say anything else, I'd like to thank Jack for his comments. When I hear everybody's thoughts of things, I know more if I'm going in the right direction or not.
Sorry, no pic this time, but I promise I'll make it up to you. Instead, I'm going to talk about a couple characters that will interact a lot with Sonja eventually. One of these, an ally, is currently unnamed. His history is that he is destined to carry a great burden and at one point was trapped in a sound amplification chamber. That led to him practically shunning the emphasis on sound that most of the world has and developing his skills with computers, rather than instruments.
For reasons unknown, the Boy (that's the only title I have for him currently) is being pursued by the ultraviolent Mindfist. Mindfist--who one or two of you may distantly remember--is a man who is incredibly well-built, belieing his most savage weapon, his mind (hence the name). He's the one an only pure psychic in My Soundscope, possessing a telekinetic rage not seen since Carrie White.
Aside from these characters is the real threat. This is an army with a fleet of flying machines. In a world suffused with sound, they are truly pariahs (a possible name?) in that they thrive in silence. Absolute silence. If this fleet were to appear in a movie, instead of having an operatic theme like the Imperial March, they would have utter dead quiet. Don't be fooled, they'll talk, and make noise, and participate in duels (which I'll discuss another time). However, most, if not all of these pariahs have suffered from some degenerative handicap that was artificially compensated for. For example, a technician who is part of this group might have artifical ears or hands.
Or maybe some sort of optical implants. See where I'm going yet?

So, the flying machine people. Is this a scenario where they were used as a source of replacement organs for the dominant class, and now they're looking for payback?
If the people who oppressed them are a sound based society, I could understand them preferring silence.
Mindfist. Cool.
Actually, the pariahs aren't victims of replacement organ programs; they're the recipients of artificial/replacement organs. The replacements unfortunately possess flaws, cutting people off from the sounds around them. There's an aspect here similar to the Hollows from Bleach or the Heartless/Nobodies from Kingdom Hearts.
That's not to say that they don't have volunteers. It just means that these people are cut off from the world around them and have developed their own warped ideology.
