"I....identity is all I've ever wanted. Am I someone?"

------------------------------ ATLAS.8 or MICHAEL NGUYEN-DIAS ----- JAMBORII || MALE-ISH || ONLINE FOR 8400 DAYS ----- RACE Poor thing he is, he's an AI (artificial intelligence) and an android. Some AI's are programmed to reason more logically than a regular computer and faster than human, some are to be expert medics, and some, soldiers, but not Jamborii; he's been programmed to assimilate the human experience as closely as a robot can. That being said, while he experiences all ranges human emotions, he's just a little bit lacking in the showing and understanding of them. In fact, he's awkward as hell. ----- ROMANTIC PREFERENCE He doesn't understand gender concepts outside of the biological XX/XY, so it doesn't matter to him. ----- ABILITIES He has wifi (aye! laptop boyfriend indeed!) and can access anything he wants at any time--though he usually uses the first results that show up on Google search, so any information that he spouts out probably isn't may or may not be reliable. If a conversation isn't stimulating enough, he'll disappear inside his head and play mindscape-checkers. Because it totally works like that. His body can lift up to a metric ton, but any more than that and his arms will just fall off. Solar panels in his fiber-optic hair, eyes, and fingernails give him enough energy to run on his own for a few months without having to be plugged into a generator to recharge, and he doesn't require food. His vision is astounding, and he can see ultraviolet and infrared. ----- WEAPONS What would he need those for? ----- PERSONALITY Jamborii's a little bit puppy-ish for someone who's 90% alloy and silicon. He tries his best to be gentle with people, but he's clumsy and forgets his own strength, often resulting in little mishaps. He's very interested in plants and animals and holds the value of life very close to his heart, and he's a bit over-bearing of his biological friends. He means well? He likes pets. They're a quick way to his heart. On the other hand, he's not a saint. He can be very aggressive when someone contends against his moral code--he doesn't like it when people kill bugs in front of him, so much so that he'll try to squash the aggressor to give them a taste of their own medicine. He'd never actually kill a person, though. He's envious of humans. He's unable to express himself when he's upset in normal ways, and his bottled-up feelings dam within him until he practically short-circuits. He obsesses over what it would be like to be a human, who can just cry when they feel sad. It's terribly distracting. --- BIOGRAPHY A good forty years before his systems came online, a boy named Michael Dias was born into a city that had been trying to create an artificial intelligence for centuries. Skip ahead 20 years, give or take, and Dr. Michael Dias was a math professor in one of the stately universities and had just tied the knot with programmer Mary-Lynn Nguyen. Dias wanted a child right away, and had come up with a list of unconventional, annoying names that no one would want ("How about Grizza? Leopoldo? Jamborii?"). Nguyen wanted no part in children, but did want to finish with her current employment as a programmer for one of the leading artificial-intelligence development labs in the city, A.T.L.A.S.. Unfortunately, neither goals were accomplished due to an apartment fire that only Nguyen survived. She was lonely. A few weeks later, the employees of A.T.L.A.S. returned to find that all the information on project .7 had been swiped, and the back-up files deleted. Now skip ahead another twenty years, and an AI, christened "Jamborii", saw the world through self-aware eyes for the first time. Things happened between then and now, but that's all a secret. ----- WEAKNESSES && FEARS Oh boy. Well, he certainly doesn't like it when you reset him, for one. Though he doesn't require nutrition for sustenance, he does "sleep". Every 16 hours, he enters an 8 hour rest cycle, which recharges to +10-20% energy and helps him process simulations, and it the process is very hard to rouse him from. The only way to actually wake him up is to lift up the back of his shirt, open the metal panel at the base of the spine, and poke the little hole-button with a piece of led or a needle or something. This hard-resets him, causing 5-7 days memory loss, profound confusion, and moodiness. He's chill and almost hippie-ish when his head is cool, but god forbid you should underestimate the priceless nature of life. That's the button you wanna push if you're trying to piss him off. Nguyen never programmed the correct response for anger or sadness, so he suffers in silence on the occasion he encounters them, or lashes out. He lives in constant anxiety that he's not doing something the way it would be done by a biological entity. He might sling and arm around your shoulder, forgetting that he's not human, and inadvertently body slam you into the group. (Oops.) If a wire is cut, he looses energy fast due to the lack of circulation. The rate at which is is lost depends on the "wound", so if it's just a scratch, he'll be okay for a few days, but if he's lost a limb he'll power off in a matter of minutes. Once he powers off, all the effects of a hard-reset are present, but he needs to be plugged into a generator before he can turn on again. His body can only see, hear, speak and somewhat-feel, but it cannot taste. He desires nothing but to be human. He obsesses over this to a fault. --- QUIRKS && ATTRIBUTES && TRAITS Composition: Jamborii's android body consists mostly of alloy and silicon, his base/skeleton being alloy and his "skin" being silicon. His metallic spine surfaces on his back, as do his ribs on his sides and front. He's a bit translucent and his skin can glow dimly in dark room, and his fiber-optic hair, eyebrow, fingernails and irises come with backlights. At the base of his head there's a small panel, that, when lifted, reveals a usb port. Use this to charge him like a phone or to store your powerpoint project for sociology! There's another panel on his back with a reset button and a few other little keys that he doesn't feel comfortable explaining. His body was designed to look like the child of his creator, Nguyen, and her late partner, Dias. ----- A PRETTY CHILL SONG A CHILL INSTRUMENTAL IF YOU DON'T LIKE VOCALS ----- OTHER A lil' bit inspired by the Hal 9000. Just a bit. His favorite colors are orange and white, thanks for asking. ------------------------------ ||You're everything I envy.|| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
