You need to be more clear. Besides when we are talking about an alternate universe the rules of the previous do not necessarily apply.

Spoilers probably ish (RvB).

In RvB the AI each represent a part of the Alpha (the whole Ai;s) personality. As you want the AI and the Freelancer to work well together the AI were given to the Freelancers that they suited most. For example Theta who was very childlike was given to North, who was very caring ~ parently.

So in the OOC we would make ourselves an AI.

And then in the IC we would be assigned that AI, so our IC character would have no choice. Whereas OOC we made the AI for our character.
