[@Framing A Moose] I don't understand.  Why have a character that doesn't fit the plot? The plot interested you enough to join why not stick to it? I don't mine small divergence but your idea seems like a big separation. What you want is the opposite of the plot

I got interested because I thought A.I. Mates was a play on words for "Aye aye, mate!", and thought it was robot pirates. When I figured out it wasn't and I mentioned my mistake, people told me that I should just make a pirate character, so I did. So it wasn't the plot that interested me, it was the thought of what I and others could do to it to make it better and more creative. But if you wanna stick to predetermined relationships and overdone robotXhuman theme with not even the smallest dash of creativity, then I suppose I best be going. If you wanna spice things up a bit and let me do as I'm planning for my character, then I'll stay.
