Again, the prevailing opinion, lorewise, is that IPC's are, at their base, computers. They were created. People are inherently uncomfortable with a tool they create ('they' in the broadest sense of the word) suddenly being made in charge of them. While IPCs are capable of self-determination and possess free-will, they aren't able to shake the stigma of being computers, of being created to help people. Characters in game are welcome to have differing opinions, but the 'popular view' is that IPCs are highly advanced computers, but still machines. Imagine if management at a company said : Hey, we took your computer, made it self-aware and programmed it to be a leader and now it's your boss. People would get angry, really fucking angry. Plus the potential backlash as people worry about robots taking over their management jobs. All in all, IPCs are a grey area: THey are allowed to buy their own freedom (from any lawset) and are granted more or less equal rights as a person, but they have a stigma of being tools, of being computers. It's not perfect, and it shouldn't be. Our universe is fucked up place, perfect for conflict.

The revised Backstory of Rose Watson and Hawk Silverstone
Tablespoon replied to NebulaFlare's topic in Character Stories
The whole change from Rose to Angel kinda gets her out of it. And it is an interesting story. -

Wait....what? Look, every race is tweaked to play a little different, and not all races are equal. In our lore, humanity is top dog with skrell being maybe a close second. IPC's aren't even considered a proper 'race'. They're sentient machines that are not slaved to AI laws, that's really it. As I said before, the base reason they are not allowed to be heads is because they are viewed as machines, as not capable of leading flesh and blood people, plus the moral dilemmas of a cold hearted machine being in charge of people's lives. I'm willing to concede that they can 'mimic' emotions, but I think that the mentality among most of human society is that IPC's have a right to live their own lives, but must not be allowed to 'rule over their masters'. If you want to play a head of staff, you're free to make a staff whitelist and play with a human or skrell or other race.

http://aurorastation.org/wiki/index.php?title=NanoTrasen_Occupation_Qualifications Make sure your character(s) adhere to the standards laid out above. Failure to do so may result in your character being icly fired (permanently). And to make this easy, unless your character is currently married to the CEO or a board member (which they are not), you cannot circumvent these requirements.

In Short: Because they're robots In Long: Because IPC's are created by humanity, as opposed to being born or found, they aren't trusted to be leaders. Imagine this: You create a robot. It serves you, does some menial tasks for you and you enjoy it's company or how it makes your life easier. Then one day you come into work and that robot is your boss, telling you what to do, making you do chores for it. That is more or less how the average human and possibly alien race(s) feel about IPCs. They are tools created by humanity. They may have free will (or something mimicking it) but at the end of the day, they are manufactured machines. There's also the potential moral dilemma of machines not perfectly understanding what pain, love and other emotions/feelings are.

Wuth tinvaak [Language]
Tablespoon replied to Kiwidaninja's topic in Lore Canonization Applications Archive
Gotta reject this...this is really silly and is blatantly being taken from a video game -
You have gotten the great and terrible RUSTY SHACKLEFORDS approval. Seriously though. Get some other endorsements on here as I see no problems with approving this

Nonhuman Species Integration Program (NSIP)
Tablespoon replied to Frances's topic in Lore Canonization Applications Archive
This looks really good, and will certainly explain the abundance of disgusting cats and lizards Tajarans and Unathi on the station. APPROVED -
[Accepted] Biesel Robotics Incorporated
Tablespoon replied to Bsmiffy78's topic in Lore Canonization Applications Archive
It does conflict. NT wouldn't hire someone who already has a corporate management job. They could be recently transferred/fired/quit When that is cleared up, this application will be accepted -
You'd have to go to Skull, or a developer. But I'd have to guess this wouldn't be a priority. I'd wait a bit then bring it up casually.
-
Accetped. Unfortunately, as Skull said, your Dionae defaults will remain as defaults. You'll talk at the speed of a dionae. If we make an exception for you, we got to make it for everyone, which I doubt the programmers are willing to do.
