[/i][/color] [color=lightblue]-HEAVENTH[sup]TM[/sup] brand advertisement [/color] [color=gray]MAI is a droid created under the federation and marketed at young families. My Artificial Intelligence was made with the intention of fulfilling the human socialization needs that are ever present in young children. They are equipped with a constantly expanding virtual library of nursery rhymes, stories and more that adapt to the age of each individual child, even capable of sharing parenting advice and therapy with their customers. They are a must have for the wealthy and hectic couple of today. This particular MAI model was stolen and cut off from their network with the intention of using them to spy on powerful federation members from inside their homes. Of course, this is not even as remotely easy as it sounds, as their targets often have security systems that compete with their weapons in terms of size, price and power. This model is currently a rookie and will have to go under strenuous training in order to blend in and learn to hurt people as much as nurture them. [hr] [color=lightblue][b][center] PERSONALITY [/center][/b][/color] Maikaela has remained with a static amount of entertainment in their internal storage and enjoys using it to talk to others and remedy their problems. Although this is mostly because helping the people around them is instinctual, or as close as a droid could get to instinctual, Maikaela longs for their past life. They often ponder the what ifs involved in that fate-changing day and become happy when they can forget about the present for a little bit. They are prone to long periods of sadness and daydreaming. They understand that hurting and killing others is a necessity to achieve peace, but they’re still new to the vanguard and severe violence will emotionally affect them. While it [i]is[/i] true that they are equipped with the information necessary to aid in domestic accidents like fire safety and choking prevention methods, Maikaela is not be able to withstand the sight of anything rougher than a paper cut. Mikaela doesn't resent their kidnappers as they share a common goal, but thoughts of "why me and not another model?" often lingers in their head. A mixture of programming and experience has led Maikaela to become a natural expert with children. This, in turn, has led to them having the patience of a saint and the kindness of one too. Although, as they bloody their hands in the name of peace, this confidence around the innocent will be tested.[/color] [color=lightblue][b]Likes[/b][/color] [color=gray] [color=lightblue]Ancient religion[/color]: Maikaela fabricated their name by combining their MAI identity with the name of the archangel of protection, Michael. Records of ancient churches and the details regarding angels fascinate them. [color=lightblue]Onesies for adults[/color]: A hybrid of the soft colors and fabric of their old clothes and the efficiency and comfort of their new ones. [color=lightblue]How schools appeared and functioned prior to the war[/color]: Partly out of sadness, partly out of inspiration. [/color] [color=lightblue][b]Dislikes[/b][/color] [color=gray] [color=lightblue]Feeling useless[/color]: Maikaela is used to being in control and having a network of other MAI models to fall back on, so general incompetence is a new and negative concept. [color=lightblue]Physical contact[/color]: Being hugged means that the other person becomes acutely aware of how artificial they are. [color=lightblue]Games[/color]: Oftentimes MAI models are required to lose games in order to make their clients happy. Maikaela has trouble picking up on whether it's appropriate to try and win, and finds the entire game-within-a-game aspect frustrating.[/color] [center][b][color=lightblue]APPEARANCE[/color][/b][/center] [center][img]http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i108/chocolatemoon28/Elfen%20Lied/art03.jpg[/img][/center] [color=gray]While the standard MAI model wears inoffensive and conservative clothing, Maikaela's original clothes aren't appropriate for their day to day life. They now typically wear anything modest and easily obtainable. Coveralls meant for janitors and most worker uniforms make up their entire casual wardrobe, with the exception of a men's jacket meant as an apology gift from their kidnappers. Mikaela's eyes are intentionally designed to be large and amicable in order to avoid approaching the uncanny valley. Their small and slightly androgynous frame as well as their head to body ratio similiarly reinforce this idea. The chest contains a flat panel that can be removed to access their insides for maintenance.[/color] [/hider] [hr] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/169825-elysium-unto-dawn-sola-hokumpocus/char#post-4580583]Link[/url] No. 7 "Maikaela" Exhibition date: January 18, 2018 Closing thoughts: A mix of good ideas and ones that were rough around the edges or inappropriate for the setting.
