BIOGRAPHY

Created as part of the Kishiro Technologies Artificial Intelligence Labs' project codenamed LOVELY SWEET DREAM, headed by Dr. Takeo Cohen, a Breto-Kusarian Quantum Computing and Neurology scientist, alongside Dr. Suguha Aramaki, who co-led the project, Honya is one of 52 AIs that were created as part of the LSD project, which specialized in developing a compact, multirole, and in the words of Cohen's diary - "near-perfect" AI.

Built onto the equivalent of a Terran server CPU in terms of size, and utilizing a advanced, state of the art AI Neural Network generation technique made explicitly for LSD AIs, which, were given the QPU family designation K/WA-11, made specifically for the project. Of her family, only 20 are confirmed to have successfully passed Morality testing.

Honya, as well as her sister, Pale Bride, were to be fine-tuned and developed to promote the new project to the public, however, before it could be done. Cohen had died in a accident in New Tokyo, leaving Honya and Bride in his ship, unbeknownst to both Kishiro and the Kusari State Police, of which, Kishiro charged to locate, to no avail.

Recovered by Nodoka Hanamura by accident after the purchase of Cohen's shuttle after her departure from Kishiro, Honya and her sister, Bride, awoke to find that they knew nothing other than their core identities and personalities, Hesitant to follow her into Exile, Honya decided to follow her, somehow enamored by her resistance against Kusari's support of Gallia at the time.

After fleeing Kusari, Honya has provided invaluable intelligence, research, tactical information and intrapersonal support to Nodoka alongside her more aggressive and profane sister, Pale Bride.

Upon obtaining bodies from Ingennus Research Group as a gift from Nodoka, Honya proceeded to adopt a proper name for herself, Mieko Iekahara, whilst retaining the name Honya as a nickname. Not long after this, she proceeded to grow enamored with the transhumanist group Auxesia, proceeding to work with them as a member of the Secretive Task Force Strigoi, and as a Affiliate.

Although kind and innocent on the outside, when it calls for such behavior, she is not afraid to bring to bear her intellect, skill, and even hidden aggression, onto those who threaten her, her beliefs, or her friends and family.

Following the departure of Hanamura and the rest of Ouroboros into deep space, Mieko had been dispatched into Sirius to act as the faction's eyes and ears. However, upon her scheduled rendezvous with the Abdicant Seraphine, the ship was nowhere to be found. For days, Mieko stayed in the region, hiding in wait for the Seraphine's return, which never materialized. Alone, and without any of her friends or family, she entered a cryogenic stasis utilizing onboard systems on her ship.

In 834 AS, she would reawaken, the world she once knew drastically shifted. Emotionally destitute, alone and desperate to find a place to belong in this strange new world, Mieko holds out a desperate hope that the Seraphine and its' crew are still alive, and that they return, someday. Until then, she holds out hope, that old leads to friends from years past can help anchor her to Sirius, lest she give in to her growing depression.

For the uninformed and a TL;DR:

Mieko Iekahara, also known as "HONYA", is one of the two artificial intelligences that accompanied my original main character, Nodoka Hanamura, through her time in Sirius. She is a kind, highly intelligent, and adept AI, who resides within a custom-built body. Canonically, Hanamura and the others are in deep space, having gotten lost after failing to link up with Mieko in Tau-44. The condition of Hanamura, Bride and the others is currently a macguffin with no determined fate.

This is something that I thought I'd never do, but I am giving Disco another chance. Much like a Tornado Warning, all of the conditions for a favorable comeback are here. A fresh coat of paint with 5.0.. the return of quite a few of the community members I remember and even revered from my time 6 years ago, the expungement and crackdown on bad actors in the community and I hope, some maturity from me since then.

I will be completely blunt here. This is a trial period. I MAY consider the idea of reviving Ouroboros. I may even decide to stay in Disco. But at the same time, I have a lot of plans on my plate (ranging from SL matters, which I am a semi-prominent member of the community there - to trying to get MIRAI, the virtual PMC I've run for years, back off the ground), and only so much time to go around. Believe it or not, my heart is dragged in multiple directions. If I could, I'd clone myself thrice over and sync the clones together so I could experience and do everything I couldn't do with one body. I'm doing this because of the nostalgia and fond memories, what weren't burned by drama and hardships - I had, as well as the friends who came back. If you want to thank anyone for this - Thank @Petitioner. She got me to stay in Disco 8 years ago, and now she's got me back here again.

That being said, I welcome feedback, support, anything except what hell I dealt with back in the day. If you wish to learn more about Mieko, I suggest reading from my main character's old wiki page, as well as from this diary for all three characters that was used up until my initial departure.
