@Shadow Daedalus Why yes, it would be. Also, I haven't completely read the CS yet, but I noticed immediately that the personality is blank. Any reason for that?

Looks Good. He's in.

Arron's nickname: "Snow" (The fact that he's part wolf, combined with the blue eyes and the little bit of blue hair reminds him of a white wolf.)

WIP



Race: Codes/Code

Job: Engineer - though I want to make a distinction between Rem and an Engineer who works on wires and parts. For the most part, Rem's primary function is an internal engineer with the ship's software and inner technology.

Somewhere out there is a machine they simply call The Xerox. It is not seen as a God nor is it seen really as a parent. Though The Xerox became aware of itself and gained some form of sentience. It desired what humanity had, the ability to have family, connections and relationships. They say The Xerox stores whatever junk or deleted data and reprints it into a being. Some humans question whether this being is even considered sentient or living. They seem to be alive, they seem to be human, they aren’t necessarily digital data, but they don’t necessarily have human biology either. They don’t reproduce, they don’t age, they don’t require food or sleep. Yet, they have desires, a sense of self awareness, what seems like complex emotions and a sense of self identity. Codes as they are called are a fascinating wonder of science and unexplainable creation.

Codes have a physical body, well it seems physical, though instead of having flesh like humans their bodies seem to have a strip of data as body. Almost like looking at a motherboard with human parts. Though most Codes find ways to synthetically modify their data to appear to have some skin. And later forms created by The Xerox have more and more human like skin seemingly being made, however, most can still faint blue veining from even the most human looking Code. Most of the Code’s personality is determined on their own. Like children they go out and gain new experiences in which they adopt into their personal memory banks.

Which brings in certain unique features for to the Codes alone. Most do not have limited memory like a human being might. For a Code, not only can they have internal memory the way another lifeform might have stored inside their head. It also seems Codes are capable of storing their memory in external sources, usually that’s the way a human might store their data from computer to computer. Via USB, or via other electronic devices that act as an external hardware for the Codes.

They have the ability to upload themselves physically or merely through their conscious into the networks of other electronic devices. Though are susceptible to all invasive software prevention techniques, such as virus killing software, and can be deleted with. Though it is in the internal network Codes modify themselves, using what they have learned to extend their further development. They may change their accessory appearance, not their core appearance. What that means is they cannot change their face, height, or core features. But can change things like hairstyle, clothing, eye color, and what not within the network.

It also seems while they may be physically susceptible to trojan software or could be deleted alongside other data inside a computer. Codes are immune to hacking. It seems whatever data has created them is nearly as complex as human DNA, and not as simple to crack as merely hacking into a Code.

One final feature is that most Codes take jobs in tech positions. Some Codes have been able to better manage electronic companies, ships, by incorporating bits of themselves into the software the company, ship, etc. uses.

Codes themselves are not immortal. Not only can they be deleted within the computer’s network that they sovereign. But Codes despite not possessing a heart or have blood, can be killed. People have seen Codes get shot or blasted, breaking into pieces of binary bits. Some have been melted. Though a Code can be fixed from mild to moderate injuries through their external hardware.

Age: Ageless - Appears 19 or so

Gender: Genderless - Male

Appearances:

Appearance:

He’s a pirate? He doesn’t seem to be what you’d picture for a pirate. Not the way he’s dressed. Though what does a pirate wear? An outfit made of edge?

Attachment 1: Basic Skin

Bodysuits seem to be a very popular type of outfit among people who work on ships. I am still wondering their actual practical use, unless it’s merely out of laziness. Putting on pants in zero gravity can be difficult, maybe the functionality came in the fact it isn’t in pieces. Comes in black or white. Though I wonder if my wardrobe needs a bit more color to it.





Attachment 2: Practical Travel

Sometimes when you travel bodysuits aren’t what people wear. Mysterious characters wear cloaks or even coats with hoods, so I added one of those. White with green trim will make me look less like a shady character. Shady people prefer lots of black. If I choose white it makes my concealment less obvious. Black seems less scary when accuentated by softer color cues such as green and white, which gives me a soft, graceful appearance. I have decided to add a braid to my hair to give me a more flamboyant look, the more effeminate you look the more people will less be driven to attack you on your travels. The eyepatch was for mysterious affects.



Attachment 3: Cold Weather

Some places are cold and therefore sometimes you have to dress according to the visual cue of snow. That’s what this outfit is for. It portrays someone innocent, a child like demeanor means I pose no threat to anyone if someone wants to harm me on the road. This outfits portray innocence fairly well and child like sensibilities.



Attachment 4: Extravagant

Not everyone is going to be from the same place. Maybe I am an aristocrat. Maybe I am someone important. Or maybe I come from another planet. This outfit is inspired by elements that answer those questions. People are likely to not see you as a bad person if you’re dressed in a certain matter. Here I channel an exotic, but fairly angelic look. The powder blue and the white conceal my intentions if I have any. I have chosen to keep my eyes the way they appear in online mode to give me some intimidation factor and have shortened my hair to shoulder length to keep the air of nobility I exude.



Core Features:

Height - 5’7”, 170cm

Build - Lithe

Hair Color - Silver

Eye Color - Variant green, blue, sclera

Data Sequence - 4998586054 - 8QFZghFedBZVgBKD

Passcode - *****************

Recognized Rem - Online

“I’ve recognized the problem with this world for a long time, the Xerox believes you are the answer and I perceive you as the flaw. You lack any unison. It is ironic that you seek individuality, but survive better in groups. Look at any city, any town, any planet, any form of government. Those are not individuals, they are people mirroring what the other says in order to be popular, liked and safe. But then you reject the notion. You are a broken and dysfunctional group. With no unifying banner. Thusly people do whatever they please because they have no real cause to their existence. Is this some declaration that I will wipe you out of existence? No. I find you a source for amusement.”


Rem as he appears in the computer or in the network or some form of software.



Comprehensive Personality Information [CPI]:

First let’s clear somethings up, I am not some robot who’s brain works with little beeps and flashing lights, nor do I upload personality into my brain like a little USB. My personality is merely stored in an external memory bank that allows me to revisit core ideas and experiences the way you would recall memories. What shapes my personality is what shapes yours, through experiences, and the influences I acquired. Unlike you though, I have more control over what I want to delete as core information and what I want to keep.

While most of my personality is formed by a recollection of memories, I have a few core features that I cannot seem to access. These core traits are likely due to the resulting data string that created me. These traits are not often fixable, nor am I allowed to readjust them. Another distinguishing factor between me and a AI. I can act AI like, but that doesn’t mean I share anything in common with them.

Core Traits -

My core traits are more like what people would say is instinct in other species. I am not necessarily in control of most of my instincts. They are things I do naturally for self preservation as all species do, They are innate survival and social mechanism that allow me the ability to observe and connect with my environment in the way I do.

As Codes we are inquisitive, a part of what drives us to seek experiences and new environments, and that allows us the open minded to seek out new influences is our inquisitive nature. We often have a self aware intuition that helps us at least pin point where an adjustment needs to be made within ourselves. In order for self improvement and betterment of ourselves.

We also have imprinting behaviors that allow us to seek other figures of authority and those we determine are source of valuable information. We use this imprinting behavior to learn social norms and acceptable forms of behavior provided by the group that we are currently involved with. As well we have behavioral failsafes that encourage seeking other experiences and activities.

Unlike an individual we have the ability to tailor our behavior, but that tailoring comes from the ability that we have seeking behavior that encourages us to seek out new activities and experiences. Our brains are wired in a way to accept knowledge and our intuition tells us when to seek another group and imprint onto another leader or authority figure. Unlike an individual we don’t necessarily hold onto the concept that a certain belief, idea, or experience is the only experience to be had.

User-Replicated Traits -

URT are traits we have imprinted and adopted from our personal experiences. Though there is a bit of personal choice as to what traits we would like to seek. I have had a preference for hedonistic nature. Decisions based on quick fixes for pleasure, and permanent life decisions based on temporary decisions. That doesn’t mean I haven’t sought comforting skills as well. Ones with less negative connotations. Nor ones with more substance. I feel like a balanced personality is one with flaws, and one with positives.

Agreeable +

Even in the worlds that I have explored it seems people prefer agreeable people. Thus I have adjusted a replication of agreeableness that doesn’t make me come off too much of a pushover, then you lose respect from others, but one that makes it easy for me to go along with certain task or duties without much fuss.

Ambitious 0

In the lucrative world’s I have seen, I have seen ambition be praised. If you want to get somewhere in the world, then you must have the drive and purpose to do so. If success is your goal, than you take every step to gain that success. Those who lack ambition never get very far and are treated with disrespect. I learned though that some people mistake ambition as arrogance and some people really frown upon ambitious people.

Devious 0

I am not human and I am well aware I am not human. I am self aware enough to know that some people don’t think I am a person. So sometimes you need to create traits that will protect you from those who may seek to harm you. A defense mechanism is the technical term. I am a devious and play up my natural perceived Code naivety. This makes others see me less as a threat. Some might find this a bad thing to do and say I am being dishonest, others can respect and understand the reasons why I chose to protect myself from harm.

Loyal +

People like to know they can rely on you. It is a balancing act between being ambitious and being loyal. You can’t be too ambitious that it strikes the ire of those whom you deem allies, but just enough that they encourage you without realizing they are elevating your status. Being loyal to others gains you perks in the long run. Thus you have to sacrifice a bit of self individuality by being loyal to others, so that way they may see you as someone they can trust.

Manipulation -

This one is a bad one, people don’t like when you manipulate them. But I find the trait necessary in order to get the things you want and not have others notice the things that you want. It’s not a nice thing to manipulate your allies and those that have earned your trust and loyalty, however, sometimes it is a necessary evil. Especially when it comes into play of self preservation. In truth every person I have met has some form of ulterior motive, whether or not they express it outwardly.

Mischievous -

Sometimes I like games. But these games other people don’t necessarily like to play with me. They describe this behavior as mischievous. I found it important that I should have a mischievous trait to my negative actions instead of a cruel one or an aggressive one. It allows me to continue to play up the naivety of my personality better than if I went out in an opposite direction.

Creative +

People honor those that have creative ideas, and like those who can think outside the box. It is important that you provide creative solutions in situations that require them. Therefore I am creative at solving problems. But also people like those who can do creative things that are artistic. So I have taken up being artistic as well. It makes me seem less like a threat in the end. Some people may grow envious of your creative ideas though, so it's best you don’t show off your creative skills all the time.

Naive 0

While naturally Codes come out naive to the world. I think it is important to underst and keep the trait around, because it makes you less a target to people who might find your otherwise behavior appalling. Naivety means you can feign ignorance to things you can be quite aware of. By keeping the trait around as an adoptable one I can always remember what it feels like and understand its nature in order to make it more believable to others. Some people will obviously be annoyed by this trait and it can have the opposite effect on some, they may think you need to be babysitted and treat you like a child. But you cannot expose your self awareness, even in these circumstances. Others will provide you knowledge and say too much believing you don’t understand.

Some notes; while most of Rem’s personality is merely artificial to simulate traits that make up an individual. It should be noted that Rem has a very disillusioned view about life, something about spending his time around criminals and trying to figure out the darkest parts of the world’s negativity has left him somewhat disillusioned from Xerox’s goal which he questions. And his true colors can be quite cold, logical. It might expose that he is in fact someone aware of the things he’s doing in the attempts to deceive others.

@AngelofOctober I wonder how a Code compares to an AI, aside from the fact that AIs are created manually and aren't technically sentient life.

Any specific information on a Gunners' job?


Why yes. The Role of the two gunners in this ship is to essentially man the cannons of the ship. They're seated to the sides of the pilot of the ship, and works in collaboration with the Pilot to blast everything in their way to dust. Usually in missions, their role depends on the nature of the mission itself, and that goes for the Pilot, Engineers, Doctor, and Chef as well.

(So @DeadDrop @AngelofOctober @Shadow Daedalus @Emma @Lumiere and @Windstormugly better hear this too.)

Usually if it's a Raid on other ships, The Deckhands, Doctor, and Chef, (If the Chef so wishes it.) go on board the ship they're raiding, the role of the Chef then being a deckhand, and the role of the Doctor keeping the Deckhands from dying. The pilot, gunners, and Engineers are to remain on the ship and make sure that either the opposing ship they're raiding, or outside interference, or both, doesn't wind up damaging the ship and killing everyone before the raid's over.

If it's a planetary mission however, like say, a heist for example, Everybody on the ship is going to likely get involved in it and have a role to play outside of the ship.

@The Jest Nero is an engineer first and foremost, but his military training and desire for revenge means that he's probably going to take part in a fair few raids against Imperial ships. Would I need to alter his sheet for that?

Hi! U:
I guess a 1-sentence summary on the race singularly known as an 'Aylv' didn't quite explain their...scarcity. While I have this next bit up on my profile for Kaite, it would be fair to leave the section here for specific reference regarding a few issues with your character.
