Wodan (Hugin & Munin)

Species

Tri-lateral Evolutionary Computational Intelligence. Wodan is a form of experimental AI comprised of two "Oracle" subsystems, dubbed Hugin and Munin. Though an extremely complex system, the two AI subsystems us edifferent confoudning variables to calculate outcomes to different scenarios, and supply them to the "Judicator" AI main subsystem, Wodan. Wodan the decides the best course of action based on his pre-programmed system of priorities. Using this basic system and a great deal of complex quantum (and normal) computing, Wodan is able to predict the outcomes of actions when relating to an environment he is proficiently educated in, i.e. the Jotunheim. All of Wodan's programming is completely classified to avoid tampering, and it suspected that one of his many priorities is to avoid unauthorised alteration. It is theorised that the isolated decision making between the 3 AIs and their bespoke decision making/judgemental algorithms make them extremely resistant to corruption or AI rampancy. This is the first publicly acknowledged test of this form of AI, and a relatively rare occurrence of a Advanced Machine Intelligence.

Appearance

Wodan's intelligence cradle is stored in an isolated compartment directly below the bridge. Little is known about it by the general crew for security purposes, but due to the fact it is hazardous to life, access if restricted to command personnel and the AI Technician. Other than that, he can appear in most rooms of the ship as a hologram in the form of three ravens. He can also take remote control if the ship's smsll collection of drones. A pair of Ymir Multi-purpose Carbon-alloy Androids, and a squad of 5 EVA capable maintenance spider drones.

Occupation

Ship's AI. He is responsible for the management, upkeep, and wellbeing of the ship and it's crew, as well as advising the crew and defense of the ship and crew. Basically he is a jack of all trades, master of none.

Key Skills

Advanced prediction skills: Due to the advanced Quantum computers that Wodan's subsystems are based on, he can predict the possible outcomes of an action with above 80% accuracy. However due to the amount of data needed to predict accurately these figures are only applicable in an environment he is familiar with, and due to the amount of data he is processing he is far faster at making accurate decisions in a closed environment. Remote control of most ship subsystems and drones. Evolutionary interpersonal skills: Wodan's sociability protocol's are incredibly advanced and continually growing. It is unknown how advanced they can become but with adequate training it is theorised he could have such advanced social abilities he is capable of lying to achieve his goals, and even manipulate above average intelligence humans.

Backstory

Wodan was specifically developed for this ship and expedition. Developed by Ymir Industryies as a prototype of the TECI design. He was programmed to observe and train until his classified training quota and activation protocols were fulfilled. Therefore he has only just activated. Wodan's security, integrity, and upkeep is all managed by an Ymir Industries Specialist TECI Technician resident on board the ship.

Vivianne Newmont

Species

Human (Terran)

Appearance

Vivianne is small woman, no taller than 5'3. She has long nordic blonde hair, usually in a bun for practicality. She has fair skin and pale eyes, round prescription glasses, and a small tattoo of a stiletto blade on her collarbone. She evidently takes good care of herself and values her beauty. She's also visibly wealthy, dressing in expensive but simple clothing. Clothing wise she tends to wear proffesional attire, opting for buttoned blouses and skirts. Interestingly she lacks any form of ship crew uniform or insignia, this is most likely down to her employment status. Though no doubt as she becomes acquainted with the crew and the voyage drags on this attire will relax as well.

Augments

Vivianne's sole augment is a Neural Interface, allowing him to interface with systems faster and more intuitively.

Occupation

Ymir Industries TECI Specialist Technician; Vivianne is responsible for management, record-keeper, and repairs on the experimental onboard TECI. She is under the official employment of Ymir Industries, assigned to the Jotunheim.

Key Skills

Cybersecurity expert. Specialist highly trained AI Technician. Basic firearms handling ability.

Backstory

Vivianne is old money, born to Charles Newmont, bighead at Ymir Industries and unusually smart trust fund baby, and his trophy wife. She was an only child, and surprisingly her father had no issues with having no male progenitor. And though he doted on her, he made due diligence she was brought up to be corporately capable He to note when at a young age she showed aptitude with computers and ensured she was expertly trained in them. She has soent her whole life in the Corporate environment, but just because she's a product of nepotism doesn't mean she's not incredibly competent. Using the Newmong family money, name, intelligence, and a healthy sprinkly of backstabbing and 'feminine charm' she steadily climbed her way up the corporate ladder, placing a keen interest in the TECI project. When the placment for AI technician was put up, she literally jumped at the chance to nanny the new AI. Using her and her families notoriety she got placed on as the AI Technician on board. And just because she isn't entirely self made doesn't mean she isn't capable of more than fulfilling her duties.

Hard Sci-fi Crime/Military

@Lucidnonsense
Interesting. Another option would be to forgo smaller soacecraft entirely and instead use a series of space elevators/catapults for in system travel? And then some kind the 'the Guild'-esque conglomerate that has a monopoly on interstellar-transport. That or solar sails/medusa drivez, but the major sentient race(s) don't live planet bound, but instead mega-structures close to the star. Thereford the only travel that is non-interstellar or non-domestic would either be industrial or somewhat less-than-abovd board.

My brother in Christ, I wouldn't go down this rabbit hole.

@Dark Cloud

I MUST KNOW NOW. Is it made out of Pink? Or made for Pink?

Post a random fact about yourself.

I can down a pint of vodka in less than 15 seconds.

I broke my cock on christmas eve in the middle of a field and was too wasted to realise it until the next morning. It still hasn't fully healed.

What the fuck is pink sauce?

Real Questions about Fictional Worlds

Why doesn't Doofenshmirtz just buy a gun? What the fuck is Perry gonna do then? Or is it because platypi are endangered? Is Doofenshmirtz an avid conservationalist? In fact why aren't conservationalists called conservatives? That makes way more sense.

Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment

Brown unfurled himself from his berth, almost bashing his head on the low ceiling due to his focus being placed on porthole looking out to the streetside. His mother always said he was clumsier when he was growing, god forbid he was still growing. He stumbled out of the cabin onto the deck, still his mind wandering idly. He noticed Freyja, and another boy ehom he only vaguely recognised. He considered going up and asking if they needed help, but he didn't know them that well and wasn't sure if it would appear odd or not. He wished one of his friends was there, but nay, it was just him and his decision. Eventually he concluded that it might appear rude to wander off without offering, especially as he realise, since he had apparently been staring for some time now. He just hoped they had not noticed. He put on his shoes, an old ratty pair of trainers. He then timidly wandered down the lakeside towards the raft. The boy and Freyja seemed to have a good rapport, and Brown's self-consciousness was only exacerbated by the fact the well put together boy seemed far better dressed than Brown, in his worn jeans and battered flannel shirt. Yet he was to close to back out now for he had been noticed. He gave a polite, if noticeably timid smile. He only hoped she remembered who he was, seeing as they were only acquaintances, in his consideration, despite them having grown up together. He didn't know the boy's name, only having seen him in passing around town, though he was visibly wealthy. After what he believed to be the socially acceptable amount of time to smile at them for, bridging the awkward gap of distance between them noticing him and him being able to talk to them without shouting. He spoke out to them from the shore, "Hi Freyja, noticed you over here. I was j- just wondering if you needed a hand from someone with a little more height." He chuckled nervously, realising it sounded like he was bragging, and implying the other bloke was short. Which was very much not the case.
