I'm starting a new char, and I still wonder what ID I should use, I hesitate between Freelancer ID or Artificial Intelligence ID.
Here's a (very) quick sum up of the story, as I am writing a more detailled and complete one to be posted once the character is ready :
A USI convoy goes through california, it gets pirated by a rogue destroyer. It was a large convoy, 8 escorts and 12 trading vessels. Basically they don't pay and engage the destroyer.
The battle tends to become hard, one trader ship is destroyed and the escorts have difficulties, even with 3 bombers to take down the shields of the destroyer. A second trading vessel is destroyed when they manage to take down the shields of the opponent. In despair, one of the escorts loaded of torpedos and nuclear mines kamikazes on the destroyer, making it implodes.
The escape pod is found later in the debris of the destroyer, severely damaged and the dead corpse found inside. As contracted, the corpse is sent to a secret laboratory of the USI for experiments. Basically they revive the dead pilots with the assistance of electronic and bionic enhancements and experiment various stuff on thems.
There will be 3 experiments of this kind that will succeed for a while, but two of thems decease later of unexpected complications of an implant that wasn't used on 628. As the brains were severely damaged, it became a mix of organic and memory blocks along with components to regulate the air and blood that was transplanted. Something happens while an operating on 628, it goes rogue and kills everything made of flesh in the operating room and escape. She needs to have the exoskeleton or light helmet on at all time, else she is blind. The exoskeleton is a suit that assist in the protection of the subject and replenish the battery she haves in her to run the electronic components via solar panels. She can stay ~8 hours without the exoskeleton before her batteries go down, killing her. Also about the helmets, she needs one of thems else she is blind, they provide a interface that extends her view and have better aim in combat.
Sorry for the wall of text or errors, I wrote this sum up fast.
Here is some illustrating images that are going to be used.
So, what kind of ID should I use ? Freelancer or post a special character request to get an AI ID, or something else ?
Sounds awefully like Mon'Star in a way. I personally would go with a FL ID, giving your two options. Reading this small summary, I get the feel that 628 can think for herself. If she has an interface of sorts, as in can't think on her own, and her memory is programmed, then definately an AI ID.
There is one more option. Depending on the RP that you are taking, there is also the Merc. ID. The reason I am recommending this at the moment is because if 628 stays rouge, it could expand into terrorism(terrorist ID), and possibly even a run-in with Mon'Star the Red himself.
She can think herself, although some limitations have been hardcoded by the USI and their removal will have to be roleplayed. for example, her actual goal is to find a bigger vessel as the defender is being too small to contain her expand. Now I'll rather leave to roleplay what happens in the future, everything will depend of the interactions the character will have with the "living" ones. If it keeps being hunted or kept away, the character could turn enemy to everyone, but for now it isn't going this way (still with civi ID btw.)
For now, I wouldn't consider her an AI.
She seems more of a cyborg, which is mostly still biological.
Humans can be memory wiped and programmed etc. (in sci-fi theory anyway.)
So I'd stick with a Merc or Freelancer.
However, I would encourage you to also apply for special RP, just in case.
Better to be covered before you get stung.
