Mr.Popper Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Lore Impact: Medium Species: Synth Short Description: Have you ever wanted to own a shell but felt wrong about it, or needed an industrial but it's too expensive? Meet Jack! You'll never mistake him for a human with his retro-themed polymer skin, and his actuators could give a G2 a run for its money. Every Jack is made with tender love and care, in fact no two are exactly identical! Here at Jackhammer Hardware Solutions, the environment is our number one customer, which is why all our positronics are made with at least 62% recycled materials. Even the positronic brains are ethically sourced from reclaimed units—which only the best Jackhammer technicians extensively erase to prevent anomalies. If you find your Jack repeating names of people you don't know, refusing to work, or speaking foreign languages, please call 313-755-JACK and we'll schedule a maintenance checkup right away! Why not build a better future? Buy your own Jack today! OOC, Jack fills the classic sci-fi trope of the mass produced uncanny android, albeit with a few Aurora unique twists. Their outdated appearances and deviant behavior are explained extensively in universe as products of corporate mismanagement, and complications from their recycled origins can be used to expedite character development for those wanting to play more personality. My goal with Jack is twofold: fill the niche of the creepy swarm of uncanny valley robots, which only an IPC brand can accomplish, and develop Orion Express' bare robotics division. How will this be reflected on-station?: A whole new IPC brand for players to explore. Does this addition do anything not achieved by what already exists?: Yes. There's another shell brand, Hazel, but this is a very different execution. Do you understand that the project may change over time in ways you may not foresee once it is handed over to the Lore Team?: Of course! I've tried to provide a complete picture with info for blurbs on both the IPC and Orion Express pages, but I realize a lot of it will inevitably be edited out or reworked. If anything I hope synth lore will be interested in some of the hooks I dropped and take them in their own direction.
