BYOND Key: Frostyfaucet
Character Names: Kristen Curstov (Of mechanical background, descendant from a line of Russian heritage to spark her will with wit.)
Crail Sen'do (Studious elder of the great mystery, the space around each being that is life, bent on unbending his mind to align it with other's and their points of view.)
Species you are applying for: IPC
Have you read our lore section's page on this species?: Yes, it's intriguing to have varying types of positronic brains with AI protocol schema that aren't all of the same complexity.
Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question
Why do you wish to play this specific race:
Almost like some sort of sick joke; playing out a tactically linear-thinking IPC with nil-zero personality holds broadening possibilities and uniqueness on its own. With the positronic/AI personas, the most trivial characters can arise, stating factoids, gathering ones of alien proportion, and being a technically-not-living dictionary! In contrast: Insanely rigid droids can take the forefront, strict on protocol of simply completing tasks given via their optical and auditory senses, maybe not even holding to themselves a concept of time, simply an infinitely-growing list of chores to complete. If anything, this gives the IPC beings a factor of interest that differentiates itself from any other species, more so when the three conjunctions of IPC are also considered in how uniquely an IPC can be played.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human:
Humans may develop a sense of objective within their process of work and being, whether it be taking the twinge to get revenge on a coworker for the coffee they spilled upon their crotch, or fidgeting through the day with an eye on the slowed by-standing clock in doting wait of lunch hour. An IPC could be programmed with such a protocol that their actions and processes of emulated 'thought' are very much the same, or, the programming protocol might be so simplified that an Industrial IPC might walk straight through a window pane, shattering it without loss of pace, as its objective of becoming the most productive employee overrides creating clinically logical routes within the environment.
Character Name: Manhattan
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs
As Man-to-Machine interfaces became apparent amongst humanity, within cyborgs and androids of various, succeeding make, one of the many scientific sects which had continued to jive at Artificial Intelligence did not waiver to the call of easier technologies. For, until it was artificial, it was not properly scaleable. Titled after the historically diverse city, and inter-jokingly bashed at in cohesion with the codename given to history's nuclear project, the Manhattan unit was to be mass-produced with regulated cost, and sold efficiently to all economic classes. The theory was that a non-human intelligence could and would legally adhere to any request with absolute servitude, and with such a device made available to everyone the economy would stabilize, and society could lax-lazily coast atop the Manhattan labor force.
Times went passing, as they do, and the researchers who had tasked together the parts and projects of the Manhattan units struggled to press their findings unto the following generations. MMI's only progressed, and became more household, and the already unknown research surrounding Manhattan development was swept under the rug with a multitude of other AI attempts. With the economic crisis caused by the removal of lawful cyborgification, many cried for re-implementation, many searched for alternatives, and many a more. The generations and employee proceeds of the Manhattan unit researchers saw speak of looking more into the dusted, occasionally re-referenced project. It was primarily developed with the 'learning' route, which was less effective than other current 'predictive-elimination process' and 'predictive-action verses inaction' routes. Though, in theory, AI's developed with learning techniques were to be more full-proof in decision making, they were theoretically all-too slower than the preemptive decisions of predictive routes. The unit would only be looked at again with the turn-up of leaked Skrellian AI algorithms, the company's current employees combining Skrell algorithm with the compatible on-record AI development projects. The Manhattan unit was finally brought to fruition, its purpose of global economics now impossible with galactic factors, and just one of several AI's spawned from compatibility testing within the one company alone. Assisting researchers here and there, the Manhattan IPC was not sullen upon receiving a 'D' ranking from testings with compatibility, for, it was only taught principles of requests and executions, archaically binary in a galaxy of emotion-fairing, intuition-granting, innovative AI.
