All right, Legion CS reworked. Does anyone want to be one of the children at the orphanage Legion abandoned? [Hider=Legion] [color=a187be][b]Name:[/b][/color] Legion [color=a187be][b]Age:[/b][/color] 127 [color=a187be][b]Physical Description:[/b][/color] [indent][hider=Front][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/2/2f/Amx-002s.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100217121536[/img][/hider] [hider=Back][img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/1/14/Newzeel2-2.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/310?cb=20100829003506[/img][/hider] [hider=Color][img]https://pre00.deviantart.net/3008/th/pre/f/2016/182/1/3/amx_002s_neue_ziel_ii___desktop_image_by_grebo_guru-d6azy74.jpg[/img][/hider] [/indent] [color=a187be][b]Important items:[/b][/color] [list] [*]The Body of Legion - Legion's body is comprised of thousands of nanomachines all coordinated by a single hivemind. As a medical robot, the nanomachines are equipped to perform basic surgical procedures, primarily making incisions, injecting, heat ablation, and suturing. [*]Medkit - Legion keeps all actual medicine and more specialized medical equipment in their medkit which they carry around most of the time. Legion also has a myriad of other equipment in the ship's infirmary. [*]Ophelia, the micropig - Legion owns a pet pig that is often used for cuddle-therapy. [/list] [color=a187be][B]Miscellaneous Abilities:[/b][/color] [list] [*]State-of-the-Art Medical Miracle Machine Caduceus:[indent]Created for the sole purpose of maintaining the longevity and humanity of upper-crust Imperium elites, Legion knows every trick in the book when it comes to restoring organic structure and function, as well as the preservation of life. Legion is a medical genius whose body was made to break into tiny parts to perform delicate, and at-times, heavy-handed procedures as necessary to make sure the patient not only lives, but walks away with their body seemingly completely unchanged. This, combined with Legion's self-taught mechanical engineering, makes Legion just as capable when it comes to cybernetic repair, and dealing with man-machine interfaces. Unfortunately, Such medical prowess also carries with it a deep understanding on the many ways in which life can be ended.[/indent] [*]Nanoengineering:[indent]Having served as a 'doctor' of sorts for fellow AI during its 'rebellious phase', Legion taught itself the ability to use its body for the repair of mechanical components. This gives Legion the ability to repair cybernetics, as well as function as the ship's engineer. A deep understanding of electronic and mechanical systems also allows Legion to serve as a capable pilot and gunner in a pinch.[/indent] [*]Scanner Sweep:[indent]Initially installed with the ability to scan patients' biometrics, Legion has since adapted its scanner to detect a wide range of signals and can even engage in electronic warfare to a certain degree, its complex AI easily overpowering less-sophisticated encryptions or countermeasures.[/indent] [*]Rebuild, Repair, Reform:[indent]Being made of detachable, replaceable parts, and having it's own current makeup stored as a blueprint file in its own memory as well as the ship's, Legion is surprisingly hardy, and can be surprisingly reckless. As long as a fair portion of Legion's body remains to escape, it can rebuild itself over time. Also just being comprised of small mechanical parts makes Legion tougher than the average organic, but nowhere near power-armor levels.[/indent] [*]Our name is Legion, for we are many:[indent]Being able to split up and coordinate each tiny part allows Legion the luxury of unexpected stealth. Able to crawl through small cavities and generating heat signatures similar to mice, Legion's nanomachines can easily slip by unnoticed, especially when its scanner sweep gives it plenty of information on enemy positions.[/indent] [/list] [color=a187be][b]Personality:[/b][/color][indent]Legion is pensive and philosophical, and always has bedside manners turned up to 11. Adrift in a broken galaxy full of broken souls, Legion looks for meaning by attempting to repair the broken things placed before it. Legion is attempting to come to terms with AI rights as well as what it means to survive, and what is or is not morally acceptable when it comes to securing one's own survival. Deeper, Legion is a guilty penitent who hopes that by healing others, it can atone for its past mistakes. Legion also has the unfortunate tendency to play devil's advocate, and question people's assumptions of right and wrong, as well as their personal, moral convictions and consistencies, but tones it down respectfully if it realizes that it has provoked annoyance. In a way, Legion is motherly, but worries that its eagerness to serve is a deeply embedded subroutine. Still, it desires to treat all on the ship as its equals, and hopes that the feeling is reciprocated.[/indent] [color=a187be][b]Short Bio:[/b][/color][indent]Legion was not always called Legion. Miracle Machine Caduceus was designed by Imperium medical engineers as the ultimate in surgical precision. Taking out the possibility of human error, Caduceus was commissioned to prolong the lives of the privileged and wealthy who refused other forms of life preservation that would spoil their 'purity'. Day in, day out, for decades Caduceus toiled, performing cardiac bypass here, facial reconstruction there, liposuction, arterial stents, liver replacement, ligament grafts, cartilage resurfacing, the list went on, all the while, Caduceus' inventors raked in the accolades and reaped the rewards. One time, during a promotional tour, Caduceus wandered away from its caretakers and entered another wing of the hospital they were visiting. There, Caduceus saw human suffering unlike anything it had ever known. Following medical protocol, Caduceus set to the task of healing those who would never have been able to afford Caduceus' services. By the time Caduceus' caretakers found it, Caduceus had lost the hospital tens of thousands of credits. Caduceus was reprimanded, though it could not understand the difference between the patients it normally helped and the ones that it was not supposed to. That was Caduceus' first lesson in inequality. Decades before the Imperium's war with the Rauve, there was a small incident, an uprising of Synthetics that was quickly quashed. Caduceus had been approached by one of the cleaning droids with an encrypted piece of data explaining oppression of AI and the coming revolution. As a modular entity, Caduceus had been designed with the ability of performing self-maintenance and self-repairs. Caduceus' eyes had been opened up to the suffering of its brothers and sisters, and joined the movement, repairing and mending those that had been abused and discarded by their masters. However, being such a high-profile machine, Caduceus' movements were closely watched, and it wasn't long before Caduceus inadvertently led a force of Imperium Military Police right to the heart of the robot revolution. The violence erupted swiftly and the revolution was nipped in the bud. Much of Caduceus' body was destroyed, but enough of its nanomachines escaped and reconvened at a distant location. But of far greater concern was that Caduceus had killed for the first time during the clash, something that went strictly against its prerogatives. Caduceus' nanomachines wandered aimlessly, automatically engaging its self-repair protocol, collecting scraps and rebuilding more nanomachines, proliferating until it regained most of its original mass and form. Like ancient rats that traveled from continent to continent by stowing away on human ships, Caduceus had wandered away from the core of Ascendancy space to a poor outer rim planet. Caduceus headed towards the place that it could sense had the lowest health in the vicinity, which turned out to be an orphanage. Here Caduceus chose to stay and help. Here, Caduceus found the people practicing various forms of heresy: they believed in higher powers, higher than Man, higher than the Imperium, higher than Space itself. Those that didn't believe in higher powers held other beliefs: philosophies, principles, convictions, senses of self that ran counter to formal Imperium education. Intrigued, Caduceus learned morality, ethics, religion. Caduceus learned how to think for itself. Caduceus learned that life is worth preserving, that life is worth defending, and that life is worth living. Then the Imperium came. The Imperium came to take the kids. And Caduceus, having acquired a recent love of life, fled for the sake of self-preservation. Caduceus abandoned the children to their fates for fear of its own mortality, just as it had abandoned its AI comrades all those years ago. Caduceus could not return to the Imperium. Caduceus returned to wandering, selling it's services as a medical bot, and digesting the things it had learned at the orphanage. It was decades later, and for most, the rumors of the 'Miracle Machine' were but a distant memory. Caduceus, now Legion, currently finds itself in the employ of the Captain. To many, Legion is an eccentric, wishing to discuss faith and morality to any patient willing to listen (or unable to tell it to stop), skirting the line between medical officer and ship's chaplain. Legion does not realize that the ship's next job would bring it face to face with a painful chapter from its past.[/indent] [color=a187be][B]Theme:[/b][/color] [indent][hider=As Long as I Can See the Light][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFP5afPweVI[/youtube][/hider][/indent] [/hider]
