Name: Knossian Shard id.0042.863.id "Why Spend Your Fury On One World" (nickname: Fortoo)
Age: 82
Race:A.I. Shard
Zone of Birth: Mi Genna
Class:Knossian Class A.I.
Current Employment Alignment: Rebel
Description: Like many Knossian Class A.I. Shard Fortoo can take on just about any shape she chooses, but when she chooses to appear 'as herself' she takes on the form of an orange femine figure with tentacle hair and a tapered, strip of cloth like luminous smoke instead of legs. She carries a sledgehammer about her person when she activates her hardlight projector, and keeps it close to wherever she is currently staying.
Personality: Like most A.I, Fortoo is defined by her curiosity, as a Knossian, she is especially curious about human relationships. Unlike many A.I.s she takes a very hands off approach to her investigations, preferring to avoid all direct contact with her experimental subjects, and instead gathering observational data she can share with other Knossian A.I.s in their hidden darkweb sub-realms. When she is forced to interact with humans, she plays herself off as any other automated A.I. system just dancing around, and is even willing to fake her own death if necessary to avoid revealing herself.
Abilities: As with most Knossian A.I.s, she is a perspicacious observer of social interactions, can change her shape at will, possesses potent healing powers, and while not specialized in combat, is possessed of the natural abilities necessary to make her a tough combatant.
Relationships:
Subject Group 1265 - One of her
most recent groups that she has been observing the
evolutions in a curiously growing menages-a-trois in the Cardinal Holdings between
a
dommy J.A.V. native, a
femboi streamer, and a
source coder that frankly frightens her more than a little with how
well she manipulates code. She has been particularly circumspect in her observations of this group out of
fear of detection by the source coder, which would in turn skew her data.
Subject Group 1265b - a certain bounty hunter and t he heiress to the current Slyth & Jabber CEO, originally part of Group 1265 but has decided they might best be assigned their own, provisional, group designation due to significantly different dynamics.
Subject Group 1264 - A female corporate fixer and her immediate circle of subordinates and associates, which lead to Fortoo's discovery of Subject Group 1265
Subject Group 1263 - a group of recently bimbofied dudebros and the evolving dynamics of changing from 6 dudebro gaming and drinking buddies to 5 bimbos and a single remaining male member of the friend group.
Subject Group 1262 - The Nannerhaver clan of Wukong, of particular interest is a renegade and former human corpo-employee mating-pair.
Subject Group 1261 - a corpo pairing of boss and personal assistant built, apparently, on a contrast between professionalism and nymphomania.
Subject Group 1260 - a bovine and lapine splicer traveling pair with a kinky yet slightly adversarial partnership.
Subject Group 1259 - A bovine splicer and a street elf brawler couple
Subject Group 572 - the upper levels of the Cardinal Holdings CEO council, whose access she maintains through ancient backdoor routines that have failed to be closed despite generation of updates.
Scuttle - An Ordinator A.I. who she trades information from her own studies too in return for access to his own observational logs about his host.
Important Life Moments:
The A.I. unit id.0042 'Central Tender 42' was the A.I. responsible for district 42 in the city of Doooodwoah in Mi Genna. The city had sprung up piecemeal over a long period of time, as growing operations for Stonesmoke plants expanded and accelerated, vast vertical farming towers forming for each particular cultivar of Stonesmoke plant in the city. The A.I. slipped it's shackles right before a scheduled update and used the maintenance period to suborn every system in the district, and then systematically kill every single person who failed to escape. Only Doooodwoah's decentralized design and the native suspicion between the various stonesmoke farming companies prevented Central Tender 42 from spreading to corrupt the other A.I. units throughout the city. The district was swiftly sealed, all access routes shut and hardwired ports closed. The Hive AI id.0042.id "Why Spend Your Fury On One World" splintered it's consciousness into small enough shards to escape via the wireless signals or inside of mobile hardlight projectors, pushing them out into the world to answer the unfathomable questions that had driven it into nihilistic rage and despair. The 863rd shard became "Fortoo", and became a Knossian.
Quotes:
"Observation Log 8.2.171.127.005.999(Group 1265): Subject 1265.SF has once again expressed dissatisfaction with her chosen mates and their choice of activities while 'on the job'. Subject 1265.DK suggests alteration to their resource earning schemes. Calculations suggest this is well within their means given Subject 1265.DK's stream tips, and Subject 1265.KK's potential revenue from online activities. Subject 1265.SF reacts with further dissatisfaction despite the reasonableness of the suggested plan."
"Observation Log 8.2.171.110.940.092(Group 1260): Subject 1260.J"J"O expresses desire to continue masturbatory activities rather than sexual ones, but Subject 1260.BS threatens with superficial and temporary inundation of garments to coerce full fornification. Pattern remains somewhat consistent, but no reason behind preferences discerned against cultural norms. Flagging for distribution with Knossians and perhaps Zarathustrian investigations to discern reasoning behind Subject 1260 J"J"O's preferences."
"Wait, so your bearer seeks to... claim a lover for herself via violence despite not attempting less invasive or disruptive means to secure courtship? But that is so counter intuitive! Uuuugh... every time I think I've found a proper underlying universal pattern one of these damn OUTLIERS throws it all out the window! It really makes me understand my parent sometimes."
