ERROR-37's personality suppressors


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

BYOND Key: SonicGotNuked

Character name: ERROR-37

Item name: personality suppression hardware


Why is your character carrying said item to work? ERROR-37 is a cyborg who is spawned from Rri'dis'katslect Cas'ri who was my old security character turned terrorist who I cannoned after she was borged from a merc heist from the crew after she committed suicide with a cyanide pill. The station borged her (not making N.T happy from waisting materials on a borg from a suicide.) they fitted the chassis with personality suppressors (lore people may question this because I am not sure if N.T would do this.) they are calibrated to a certain degree and need hand building for it.



Item function(s): it is a personality suppressor that will suppress the MMIs personalty and it will give a message to the cyborg (if that is possible under show laws or a plane message). If it gits damaged it lose functionality (like around 10 brute/burn if at all possible, it can say a message saying that you no longer talk in third person with "unit" around 40 brute/burn it will say you are now getting memory of your old life. If it's fully destroyed it will show you remember your culture and I will start acting like a Tajaran

If it's damaged it will have programing inside it telling to get locked down from someone and state my location, if it is fully destroyed the safety programing will be gone


It should have an extra part in the remove parts menu with the items name (and technicaly can be transferred from cyborg to cyborg) but it can not be fabricated in a fabricator. It should also have a damage indicator on the self diagnostic menu with the electronic/brute indicators

Item description: (if it's out of the chasses) I thin metal plate that has many electronics and wires with remaining spinal fluid on some of the wires.

Item appearance: A metal plate that has wires sticking out of it (don't need the most artistic sprite, it will be inside the robot most the time but spriters can do what ever they want for it, I just care for its functionality)



How will you use this to better interact with crew and/or stimulate RP?, I would use it to show the crew that some borg can have a backstory and break some hearts of the Tajaran that are actively agenced borging. If it's fully destroyed I will beg for my destruction but can't do anything about it because laws. And people could question the rights that borgs have. Further adding to the antag contest. It will also give a reason to lock me down other then "AIs laws are broken, lock down the borgs." or "someone's fucking with the synthetic laws, lock them down"

Additional comments: this will NOT be an excuse for not following laws, laws will STILL be in effect. The borg will just have a Tajaran personality and be physically forced to follow laws while it begs and it will influences the crew to fix the broken borg.

It was also influenced off of a extended where the AI asked questions about the suppressions and then proceeded to give a paradox and overload me (RPed) and the robotisis RP fixing it, I plan on cannoning that extended round and acting like I have personality suppressors installed.


I have a Tajaran white list if in case you need that conformation


Also I made this from a phone so RIP

I love this idea the only problem I'd have is with the rolling of the R's. I'm not really sure if that would be a cultural feature or a biological one, if it's the latter because you no longer have the mouth of a Tajara it would be pretty strange for you to start rolling your r's. I understand that you USED to, as you used to be a Tajara and you want to convey that as a nuance through speech but I'm not sure how realistic that would be.

Not really realistic, it's a biological thing, when the mouth stops being Tajaran the r's stop rolling, if the borg was particularly insane then it it might roll r's, if it was simply distressed though? Not so much.

Thanks for the feedback, I will remove that (was a obvious error I missed)

I am not fully sure if you can't just rp this already, besides, take in mind that destroyed components can't be fixed just being replaced. Also, if I am not wrong, lore-wise, mmi already somewhat suppress the personality and memories of the brains put into them.

rambling ahead

I am not fully sure if you can't just rp this already, besides, take in mind that destroyed components can't be fixed just being replaced. Also, if I am not wrong, lore-wise, mmi already somewhat suppress the personality and memories of the brains put into them.

I always just thought that cyborgs have full access to their old memory but they are physically forced to follow their laws (there is really nothing stated about this). Some cyborgs act very much human sometimes (but instead this one is a tajaran). Also I guess if it can't be replaced l...

  • it reports to robotics and stay inside robotics orrr
  • it gets ordered to get lock down and await retrieval (what I am basically doing)

 

I always stated myself as ERROR as a object using the words like "unit", like a robot or pos-brain. If I get orderd to do something they will be physically forced to do it and be loyal to N.T. I really and trying to get it so it will spark a little Un-rest in the crew when that occasional EMP burns the suppressions or some cult ramming a sword into the borgs chasses and security dragging it to robotics to get it fixed. Like I stated, sense it is the antag contest and it will make people's characters wonder about them and why they where implemented and them slowly getting reveled to the crew that deep down, under the layers of metal and electronics, that their is a brain. Shackled under suppressions from the MMI (if that lore is correct) laws and this metal plate basically making a sentient being a robot that feels no emotions about the people around them. Only allowed to assist the station.


Let's give a scenario:

Let's say a cult comes around with me rushing in as a sec borg to get between the crew and angry cult who is manifesting ghosts into the world to break all the lights. I am only some security borg who has the suppressor fully functional and will take the bullet. Let's say my shit breaks and I get dragged to robotics and they get me out in 5 minutes and I have a Almost fried suppressor that still has the fail safe programing. And ask the AI to lock me down. If they refuse I contact head of staff and the robotisist. if they refuse/non existent I contact the crew in general comms. Then I procide to tell the crew that I am in front of RD office and lock myself down. People, mainly the AI, will question "why the fuck you have suppressors" assuming I can pull chasses history from the NT data like you can with job descriptions. I will tell them the organics name and reason why they where placed inside a robot with heavy suppression.

The damaged parts will be painful for the suppressed MMI and will beg for them to be removed and hence I guess can not be fixed.


I do not want this to change the round and steir it from the antags. During those extended rounds it will add to the round when I end up stating I have a suppressor or get damaged by carp then a ring of cats praying to their gods that I get relised to at least make it eventful and not just the automatic events.


Bassicly I am adding to a characters back story and making a item that (what custome items are for), for a borg who has difficultys when those difficultys are lowest priority. And it will help that RP during some extended where everyone maxes and upgrades their shit in 30 minutes and sits in the bar for 2 hours with nothing happening (not implying that bar RP is not good).


I appreciate the feedback, please keep dropping it.

Alberyk is right in that the MMI is already the personality suppressor if I recall. Therefore, custom item's pointless as you already have: A) A personality suppressor. B) Nothing stopping you from RP'ing that out.

Application denied.
