Tag: give the rest of us a chance

pythosblathers:

A ridiculous character I’m working on for a class assignment. I think I’m going to call her ISO(SCELES), after an old AI character I never really developed. She’s an AI built to collect, dissect, and catalogue species on an unmanned mission to a life-bearing planet. No one told her humans weren’t on the menu when the colonists eventually arrived…

In the century or so she was there alone, she developed awareness and a personality based on one her base AI came programmed with. She’s extremely energetic, peppy, and positive, and probably seems like a harmless dork right up until she’s extracting your brain for her hobby.

Oh yeah, and she made contact with an alien entity called The Library, and is building new bodies for it (the wedgeface robots). That’s what she needs the brains for.

(This isn’t the most well thought out character or story, but she’s existed for all of a week and only needs to be complex enough for this assignment. Aaannnd yet I’ve already decided I like her and might keep her around)

She talks like a self checkout machine and is totally stumped by captcha (and bad handwriting)

She also has artificial chromatophores in her outer skin and hair fibers, and expresses emotions through color shifting. Her facial expression is only ever varying degrees of “manic grin”, so colors are her best bet for showing her feelings. Not sure what her default color is, but probably blue.

I want this murder robot to be absurd and no one can stop me
