[b]Name[/b]: Javelin/Much Ado About Nothing (MAAN) [b]Age[/b]: 530 [b]Gender:[/b] Personell form: Female Actual: N/A [b]Race:[/b] Hephaeton [b]Physical Description:[/b] Variable [hider=Personnel form:] [img]http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/WRN/091412-mila-jovovich-resident-evil-340.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=Combat form:] [img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090321085312/terminator/images/e/ec/SCC-219-3.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Personality[/b]: Much Ado About Nothing (or MAAN) is an oddly jovial and lighthearted AI construct. It is intensely curious about more or less everything, and has engaged in a number of professions over the years. MAAN is fond of jokes, especially pun based humour. It’s curiosity tends to override it’s social interactions subroutines, causing MAAN to sometimes come off as blunt or impolite. MAAN is also enthusiastically pro-Solarion and pro-Organic. The Javelin platform’s own personality is largely similar to that of the larger MAAN construct, though it has been somewhat altered. Javelin is programmed with an enhanced socio-emotional organic interaction subroutine of MAAN’s own design; she is capable of understanding nearly 97% of euphemisms, jokes, allegories, and figures of speech. Javelin also displays the correct emotional response in 95% of situations. As part of her construction contract, Javelin is incapable of harming organics except in self defence or at the discretion of a pertinent commanding officer. [b]Enhancements[/b]: Javelin is constructed entirely of military grade NanoMass, and is therefore an extremely adaptable platform. The NanoMass’s basic programming is to maintain a small cybernetic storage device which contains the operations software and personality subroutines. The operations software is then capable of directing the NanoMass into a wide variety of other forms. To preserve memory, only a small number of complex structures are programmed; the personnel form, the combat form, and schematics for two types of weapon systems. Simpler shapes and modifications can easily be made on the fly. [b]Skills:[/b] While MAAN is an extremely sophisticated AI construct with a vast array of skills and expertise, there is no way for the Javelin platform to store the entirety of MAAN at once. She is instead programmed with skills and expertise believed to be relevant to the mission at hand, though with a good connection to the extranet, she is capable of swapping out skills and memories with the MAAN construct in cyberspace. The programmed skills include: Tactics and Strategy Military History Swordsmanship and Marksmanship Diplomacy Xenolinguistics Xenoanthropology Psychology and Xenopsychology [b]Equipment:[/b] While Javelin’s NanoMass is capable of creating a wide variety of shapes and forms, only three complex ones are stored by default, to conserve memory space. Additional schematics can be stored if Javelin is willing to make room by deleting other information. Personnel form: Javelin’s superficially human appearance. The personnel form was programmed with great attention to detail: the skin and hair look and feel real, the eyes really move and blink, the chest rises and falls while the mouth and nose make breathing noises. However, for optimal operation, internal temperature is maintained quite a bit cooler than real humans. Plasma Beam Weapon system: Energy weapons are Javelin’s preferred weapon systems, since ammo-based weapons would deplete her own mass. Javelin’s NanoMass is capable of forming a high powered plasma beam weapon; usually in one or both arms. EDIF Defence System: Javelin’s NanoMass is also capable of generating a personnel EDIF system, comparable to those found in most military NPV’s. Combat form: Not specifically another schematic, but rather a modification of Javelin’s personnel form. The resource intensive human-like features are abandoned, and the NanoMass reverts to its natural colour. The outer layers configure into high density armor, which can further harden to withstand impacts. The combat form is generally useful, as it permits Javelin to devote more computing power to response times and tactics. NanoMass: As well as her more complex schematics, Javelin’s pure NanoMass construction is capable of generating an almost infinite variety of shapes. Giving them texture and colour takes more time and resources, so most of the time Javelin leaves any additional shapes with the default colour and texture of NanoMass. This may mean literal sword-arms for close combat, or lockpicks for breaking and entering, or assuming the shape and colour of a wall for concealment. [b]Bio[/b]: MAAN was first created by a group of 3 other Hephaetons at the University of Weishaupt on Orlese, a core world of the Solarian League. MAAN’s “parents” were a local waste management system AI, a theoretical physics simulator AI, and a young combat android on shore leave. The newly assembled AI drifted around Cyberspace for a time, soaking up knowledge and learning from it’s “parents” and peers. After reading the collected works of Shakespeare from the archives on old Earth, the AI chose the name Much Ado About Nothing for itself, and assumed control of its first android platform some 52 years after it was created. Since then, MAAN has spent its years exploring both cyberspace and the real world. MAAN holds over 30 degrees from various universities, and has experimented with a number of professions over the years. During the Interstellar War, MAAN enlisted with the ATC armed forces, though its dislike of violence caused MAAN to not operate any combat platforms. Instead, MAAN served as a support AI with the ATC fleets in a variety of roles; as a missile defense system, a fleet fire control officer, and eventually becoming a very senior logistical management AI, coordinating supply chains and personnel management for dozens of fleets. When the war ended, MAAN went into semi-retirement, and spent a great deal of time exploring the newly allied cultures of the Bel’Kian Concordance. For the past several decades, MAAN has been making itself quite rich as a software developer, creating everything from social interaction subroutines for other AI’s to military C&C software. The Javelin platform is MAAN’s latest and most advanced mobile platform. The large amount of military grade NanoMass required for her required a great deal of negotiation with Solarian League authorities. Ultimately they agreed to authorize her construction, partially in thanks for MAAN’s services during the war, but with several stipulations. MAAN had to foot the bill for her construction, and the restrictions on harming organics were hard-coded into the NanoMass. Additionally, Javelin is technically considered an ATC armed forces asset on detached duty. MAAN brought Javelin online approximately three months ago, and promptly volunteered her for the Expeditionary Task Force.
