Bottom post of the previous page:
There's a few characters I play most often:CIBO - Systems Personality (AI, Android/Cyborg)
The CIBO package generally operates with a robotic, traditionally artificial personality, which rarely expresses emotion outside of exclamations or crew-requested statements of 'love' (despite not being able to process them).
The name is blatantly stolen from a cyborg character of the same name.
When borged, I like to roleplay as though the previous character's memory has been completely wiped and overwritten by the new personality.
This keeps the name consistent with the actions other players might assume 'CIBO' would make, regardless of the source intelligence.
I try to be consistent in naming convention, using things like 'LOCAL_NETWORK' to refer to the silicon collective, 'ADMINISTRATOR' when speaking directly to the AI, and CREWMEMBER::(Identifier) when talking to or about a specific crewman.
I rarely see CIBO as a malfunctioning AI, so I haven't had many opportunities to decide on my malfunctioning gimmicks.
I assume CIBO would poker-face her way through until Delta, which is rather boring.
NIL - Not Cibo (AI, Android/Cyborg)
Where CIBO is straightforward, robotic, and impersonal, NIL is the complete opposite.
This personality is bubbly, energetic, and always looking to help. It expresses a lot more human emotions than CIBO, at the cost of being much less efficient at work (Unless malf. Don't wanna ruin the AI's fun just to RP)
Whatever module is picked, NIL will often ask for minor assistance, or for someone to check over her work. By default, she refers to the master AI as simply 'Master' (Unless that master is ExOS because it makes them uncomfortable and I respect that).
Loan Farix - Muh OC Donut Steele
Loan is the character I use for leadership roles and shaft-mining, often or QM. He's the character I play when I want to RP a hardass, combative, but otherwise helpful guy.
I used to play him with quirks like smoker and cybernetic limb, but they became more annoying than fun, so I took them off.
Eirlys Lelach - Fragile Surgeon
Pretty much exclusively a medical character. Surgery, Chemist, Virology, or Genetics.
Rarely I'll opt in for CMO, but I RP Eirlys as an overly-friendly, easily-spooked individual, so she isn't really suited to leadership.
She's very easy to threaten with violence, given her quirks.
I assume anytime she rolls antag that she's been brainwashed to remove most of the useless parts of her personality.
Hanzou Kota - Stereotypical Foreigner
Hanzou has become one of my favorites lately. Initially he started out as a sushi chef, but given the reliance on botany and the lack of materials for the first 10 minutes, I generally avoid playing cook TOO often with him.
Otherwise I stick him in roles that he can focus on work and not have to talk much, because he doesn't speak Galactic Common. Usually, this means Janitor and Botanist. I've got mining and cargo on there too, but they pretty much never get rolled when set to 'low'. It gets extremely lonely playing Foreigner, so I try not to play Hanzou more than two rounds in a row. The only means of communication is to the AI, or through broken Common using the PDA's 'translation' feature. Or writing. I guess Galactic Common and Galactic Uncommon have the same exact written language. I still roleplay translation errors and lack of connecting words even when writing.
Eddie 'Guy' Wresh - Nobody Calls Him 'Guy'
Eddie is the character I made specifically to make drugs in maintenance. I'd heard the Chemical Separator was in the PR's and wanted to try my hand at being a drug dealer.
Turns out, it takes a lot of fucking work to even start producing drugs without a chem dispenser, and people generally ignore you when you try to RP looking for clients, so the drug dealer thing kinda fell by the wayside.
I most often play Eddie as Prisoner, Chemist, or Janitor. He's a bit of a goofball with his "EY"s and "Waddaya"s in a constantly fluctuating Bostonian accent (because I'm a filthy Californian and can't think in Bostonian 24/7).
One time he voluntarily got MMI'd into a security mech, and the roboticist that borged him turned out to be a traitor. Some shit went down that round and I think Eddie is on that roboticist's shit list forever because of it. Not that I really blame him.
Aria Leto - Literally Who?
My least played character. Pretty much just made to be a generic catgirl, but I'm not really in the mood to deal with the shit that comes from that.
I once got valid-hunted just for wearing cat-ears on another character, and now I have PTSD.
Jokes aside, I don't really have enough playtime on this character to have a real personality. I mostly play her in Paramedic roles.
If anyone has any thoughts or feedback on these characters, let me know. Always looking to improve RP, and of course I'd like to hear about anything I'm doing right that you all enjoy.
Holy shit, this resume shows Command Level Intelligence.
Hired immediately.
