I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.
does that answer your question? not entirely sure what you mean by "denotes out lineage"
Sorry, typo, I meant "denotes our lineage". Basically like it says where our characters hail from, like 'Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell', which includes a title, name and place.
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.
Short Bio:
Legion was always called Legion. Miracle Machine Caduceus was designed by Ascendancy 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 Ascendancy'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 Ascendancy 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 to 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 Ascendancy, 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 Ascendancy 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 Ascendancy came. The Ascendancy came to take the kids. And Caduceus, having acquired a recent love of life, fled. Caduceus abandoned the children to their fates for fear of its own mortality. Caduceus could not return to the Ascendancy. 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, finds currently itself in the employ of Captain Natasha Zhang. 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.
@Stern Algorithm, Well, to put it simply, AI are strictly limited and it's the Ascendancy who are best at making them (as the Rau've just use organic artificial brains while the Kaisoken don't need AI). AI are property who have no rights and are slaves.
And, once the bio is finished, it might be accepted.
OK, altering Bio in 3...2...1...

Great. I'm curious to know what the laws (in the game world) are concerning AI robots (who builds them, what rules govern them, are they bound to the races that made them, etc.) as well as what rules (out-of-character and character creation-wise) I need to follow.
That being said, here is a half-baked CS placeholder.

Short Bio: INCOMPLETE medical bot, retired/decommissioned/masters died off, etc. Sought to learn philosophy and religion of many races. Seeks to heal. Much work during war. Became attached to (enamored with) the ship they served on. Ship got traded multiple times, and finally came under the ownership of Captain Natasha Zhang. Zhang was surprised the ship came bundled with a robot doctor/chaplain. Legion's hobby of philosophy and their medical expertise will be a major support for the broken children. Exceptional Skill List:
"I call dibs on being teamed with the girls" He said wrapping his arms around Dieselpunk and Aya bringing them closer towards him.
"Personal space please Verd." She frowned at him, he didn't seem like the kind of person to kill. At least it didn't seem like it from the small amount of time she'd spent with the guy. Maybe pairing with him would be bad. She let out a sigh. "I'm fine to partner up is Diesel is..."
"You don't get to pick your god damn dibs boy! Keep your stupid fucking hormones in the bag, and you will team up with who best suits the situation! People will be sent into areas more suited for them! If you'd like I could send you to fight in the lake area where stretchy quirk is moot, and you're more likely to fail!"
"Quirks, and groups should be assigned to where they're most capable of being useful. For example one zone replicates an ocean rescue zone, and another replicates our big city we're earning out keep in."
"Sending people based on likes, and dislikes of one another when they can be used elsewhere is counter productive. I HATE inefficient mission components so expect to be sorted into an area that best suits your skill set. As for when we're going we're going soon. If you're done then pack up, and get into the back of a tractor trailer. Consider yourselves...and express delivery. Oh, and do mind not to cause too much of a mess...if you do inside of these things could get REALLY bad for you later on. Especially considering its your way of getting out of the place."
Dieselpunk chuckled a bit as Verd put his arms around herself and Aya. "You're a few years too young to be tussling with me," she joked. Being a woman in the crime world, Dieselpunk was used to unwanted advances, and given Verdrehte's age, she took it in stride. Besides, the thought of partnering up with him had crossed her mind; usually when she incorporated a vehicle into her body, she kept the cockpit or driver's seat intact, and having someone 'ride' her, taking care of console functions that she was too busy to deal with, would give her added utility. Given Verd's physical malleability, she wouldn't have to be so worried if she morphed in a way that the cabin collapsed, as he would probably be able to escape unscathed.
But White Skull's reprimand cut off further thought on the matter. White Skull. It was a name Dieselpunk had heard whispered throughout the underground. On the one hand, she felt she should be honored to be working with him, on the other hand, she felt a little apprehensive, like she was out of her league, like she and her group were suddenly expendable.
She decided to focus on the plan. So no absorbing the trucks, since they needed those to escape. However, based on what White Skull was saying, Dieselpunk hoped that there would be a 'construction zone' or a 'war zone' area where she could really shine. Eager to try her hand against hero trainees, she hopped into a truck as well.
