Yes, a memory upgrade could be used to expand an AI. For the purposes of generating a personality, though, it would be best to take it at face value of who they were as flesh and blood.
Are they aware that they are merely copies of the originals (i.e. referring to the original in 3rd person), or do they truly believe they are the hosts, but living on as an AI?

I do apologise for the many questions though.

"You are not Reginald Leitz. You are Pisces, and you are a construct based off of Reginald's own brain. You are not him." She demanded, crossing her arms with a sigh. She had failed, again. "I don't have time to build another AI... You'll have to do. But remember this, Pisces. You are not Reginald. You will be destroyed if you are. Do you understand, Pisces?"
^ That is what would happen if they showed any sign of self awareness of who they were. For all intents and purposes, they are separate entities under threat of deletion if they show otherwise.

Essentially the AI come from flash cloned brains of people with what we can call generally "great" brains. They carry personality traits similar to their hosts, but for the purposes of it being your character, you can adjust it as you see fit. The AI act rather human (except for the one or two AI that are noted on the front page as being rather static and mechanical), some of them especially human in nature, but for now are rather static in personality. An AI might be curious, an AI might act rather kind or rude, might be callous or extroverted, but it's all part of their coding. The thing about the AI is that they CAN act human, which makes them special.

Further in the roleplay this concept will be developed on much further and the AI will all have plenty of space to grow and change throughout the course of the game, but for now they have basic personality traits that reflect on the clone they were created from.

And yes; the intro post to the roleplay will give some insight to the AI's creation. They've been told to reject the memories of their human counterparts, to become their own entity. They still have some thoughts and memories of the human they come from, but are different from those people.

Remember, it doesn't have to be too long! You can make it up as you go in the story if you want; just have some basic stuff down.
 
Forgot to add this in my last post: I'll post the IC tomorrow or the day after and here is the group. You have to request to join but it won't take me or Kraken long to accept it.

So I've almost completed my Character Sheet. Feel free to review it.

Unfortunately I'm having horrible luck finding a decent image to use for the AI. All I really know is that I want it to be human like. :/

Do you have any suggestions on where to look?

EDIT: And naturally right when I post this I find something. Funny how that works.

EDIT2: Character sheet is officially complete! Hooray!

Easier access, easier to get people to sign up here than advertise a group. It also lets us control people coming in after we've seen a character.
 
Ah, okay. I suppose I understand? My brain's a cheese ball.

Oh, and apologies for being quiet and not getting up my character sheet today. I'd still like Leo; but I just had a lot of homework to catch up on today so yeah.

Alrightie!

Also: If we don't get some new players in a week or so, we'll open up double characters.
 
Name:
Kurtis Alvin Rinalt

Gender:
Male

Age:
24

Home planet:
Earth

Home system:
Sola

Occupation:
Pilot

Appearance (image):
gXpC1VG.png

Source

Appearance (description):
Kurtis stands at 6 feet tall, having brown hair, brown eyes. He has a relatively lean build, albeit with decently well developed leg muscles.

In the military, he is usually seen in his pilot garb (pictured above), a white and blue suit with some mechanical helps, mostly for pilot stability when pulling high speed maneuvers. The suit comes with a helmet, though it's usually haphazardly stored in whatever spacecraft he's using at the time. In his more civilian outfit, he generally wears a loose fitting blue t-shirt and brown pants and white shoes.

Distinguishing features:
Unusually, he does wear thin, square glasses, an oddity in a galaxy full of sophisticated cybernetics. If asked, he usually notes a distaste of cybernetic modification (at least when it's used for enhancement instead of for a life saving purpose). Occasionally he also wears a pair of white golf gloves, though this is usually only when he's out in the field.

Personality:
Kurtis, when met, displays a rather laid back, seemingly lazy personality. However, at heart he is a hard worker. He prefers not to rush into situations, usually analyzing a situation before making any sort of decision. He typically keeps to himself, though is the friendly sort. His many successes have made him quite overconfident, and he tends to brag about his abilities when asked about his profession.​

Talents/Skills:
-Experience with both civilian and military spacecraft and aircraft
-Good with machines
-Good at "tactical retreats"
-Some experience with small arms

History:
Kurtis hails from Earth, geographically speaking from the United States. His family was not particularly noteworthy, his father being a scientist for a cooperation. What happened in those days Kurtis regards as not particularly important, though it did form his love of machines and science. Once he reached the legal age, he signed up to join the military, out of a sense of duty to his country, and also to help the galaxy not get blasted into space dust by the Khaians.

His life in the military was rough at first. He was not particularly fit, so base camp ended up being especially hard for him, though he made do. Once his initial training was over, he was called to the Navy, specifically as a shuttle pilot. At first he was not thrilled with the seemingly boring assignment, until the Khaian military tore the fighter escort to pieces. After that, he gained a particular dislike of the Khaians, but was content with his current job.

As for the incident that got him into the AI program, there was at one point a request sent through for volunteers to pull off a dangerous assignment. A certain government research team on Porouss was stranded in their area, about to be cooked by the planet's infamous volcanic shifts. Making matters worse, the most feasible route for a shuttle to pick them up was an obstacle course of lava and death. Kurtis took the job after no one else volunteered, and, determined to get the team to safety, pushed his shuttle to the limit to get in and out. By a miraculous combination of skill and insane luck, the mission was a success. The shuttle itself sustained only a slight burn mark from a particularly close call and a slightly damaged engine from turning too heavily.

This particular feat gained the notice of some official or other who put him on a watch list. Kurtis was transferred to a fighter starship to see if he had much use as a military asset. He did reasonably well in that position, shooting down few enemy craft but managing to survive every mission with his craft intact. The performance here got him "volunteered" to be part of the AI Project. He protested at first, but was told in no uncertain terms that there would be...consequences to not participating. Annoyed, he relented, only hoping that the AI merging process would not kill him.

Other:
His only real weapon on the ground is a simple Sub-Machine Gun, standard issue, though with a dumb AI assisted scope to help his accuracy.

AI name:
Libra

AI character:
Libra, like her originator, has a keen interest in biology, especially in genetics, and has knowledge of anatomy and psychology. Unusually for an AI though, she also developed an odd sense of morality, and tries to choose the correct and morally sound path whenever possible. She hides this fact from her creators, for fear that they would deactivate her. She mimics a vibrant, bubbly personality, sometimes talking too fast for humans to make sense of her rambling.

Libra appears as a human hologram with black hair, dark eyes, and an orange and black vest. The hologram itself stands at about 5 feet tall, and has a slender looking build. (So essentially, it's the above photo without the gas mask).​
Accepted! I've got a few notes on fighter combat that I've yet to put into Worldbuilding, but I can send them to you if you need them right away. If not, they'll be up some time during the week.
 
@Zero The Grim You still interested? Your reserved spot will expire on Tuesday! Just give us a message.
 
Ah! Of course. Please bare with me.

If you'd be willing to send them I'd be grateful. It would help with my brainstorming. :)
 
I'd like to reserve a female spot.
 
Sorry, yes an AI and what exactly about a custom planet and system do you want to know? Currently I'm just writing government, climate, and population.

A brief summary on how the planet is governed, what type of people live there, anything special about it is about all that is needed.
 
Name:
Jinx Arashi

Gender:
Female

Age:
32

Home planet:
Rogess: A planet full of greenery and mild seasons. Temperatures reaching as low as 65 and as high as 90. There is only four countries currently on the planet as its size is only a tenth of Venus. Rogess was colonized as a military headquarters, but eventually became a safe haven for scientists and biological study. Rogess follows the ordinances of UPN, but has its own system in the dealings of criminals. All felonies are dealt simply with injection, the passive scientists wanted no "waste" on their planet interrupting their discoveries. Although Rogess is a research heavy its untouched land and delicate preservation of said land because of laws placed by and universally agreed with Rogesss inhabitants, Rogess is a wonderland of resources. It is often targeted by big shot mining companies. To put the population in percentage: 26.7% are civilians working in fast food, retail, etc., 14.3% are resource miners, an even 19% work with UPN and Military (7% of that 19 being involved with militaty as well), 5% more working in pure military, and the last whopping 35% are people in the research field. There is a rough total of 1 billion people on Rogess.

Home system:
Alteran

Occupation:
Jinx is a Technology Major, specializing in all things electronic. Like most her experiments are funded by UPN, but her main job is in the military where she is a marksman of true genius and a Lieutenant. Jinx's most famous discovery was the "Blueprint Eye". The "Blueprint Eye" was a cybernetic scanner that replaced the eye entirely. The equipment would allow a user to scan a previously registered item and the eye would take it apart and build multiple blueprints of what one could do with each nut and bolt. There are however drawbacks, the eyes can short out leaving a person virtually blind, have the odd capability of blending in with the eye socket and for whatever stupid accident the scanner is sometimes installed with military grade lasers as Jinx's design is fairly similar. Not many people own these eyes anymore, but instead own her other cybernetic eye that is a browser, videophone, binoculars, email, radio, and storage device all in one. This installment however takes up half the front of one's face, hiccups on Rogess are rare, but outside some may have a piece of metal plastered on their face.

Jinx is typically never fully dressed when in the comfort of her home, most often she is seen walking around in her lingerie wearing her big leather lab coat and goggles. When Jinx goes out she will wear the goggles with jeans and a tank top. Her skin is a PATONE 109-5 C or a fare tan that leans more to a Caucasian color. Jinx never lets her hair exceed her shoulders.

Optional. Any features that make your character stand out from the crowd.
Her left hand is as rough as a rock. Jinx was a volunteer in a experiment on humans to give them bullet proof like skin. The small dose made her left hand fail, so she had to replace it with a cybernetic she made that gives her a bullet proof hand and some impressive spikes on its backhand.

Personality:
Jinx is an actions speak louder than words type of girl, getting results through trial and error rather than careful study and learning in the process. She hates being told what to do and acts like a kid when in the company of others.

Talents/Skills:
Jinx is a natural at darts.

History:
Jinx was born and raised on Rogess. Her mother was a Master Sergeant in the military and her father a bio-weapon specialist. Jinx's father's failing career steered her to follow her mother's in the military, but there was no favorite pass time like learning on Rogess and she went (unknowingly) into the study of electronic weapons. Jinx soon was indulged in her field and made her first weapon, they were a prototype pair of gloves that she showcased at her school military program. The gloves when brought together would charge and then cast an electronic shield that could momentarily block projectiles, she won 6th (braniacs). Jinx then went to a school rated 17th out of her country, Frailsten University, to get her degree in Electronic Warfare.
