artoni or artoni#1824
About you: PST, they/them! I LOVE ROBOTS. Robots are great. I also love a bunch of other things including Star Wars, Big Hero 6, D&D, Ark: Survival Evolved, et all.

Character: Murderbot (it/its)
Canon: The Murderbot Diaries
Cabin and team: Sleeper 5, Cabin A - Purple Team!
Little bit about them: tl;dr Socially Anxious Security Robot Just Wants To Be Left Alone To Watch TV But Has Humans To Protect
Hopes and dreams: oh lord. Murderbot is going to have a ROUGH time in the beginning, being thrust so far and fast out of its comfort zone, but I would LOVE to develop CR of almost all kinds! Especially techy people/combat people, to say nothing of fellow AI/robots/etc!
It's hella introvert, so keep that in mind; it's going to be a long, slow path if people don't want it to just Nope The Fuck Out. Still...help coax it out of its shell like one would a stray kitty cat who spooks easily, except it's a 50/50 whether it runs or just starts cussing.

Entrapta would super love to meet him. Robots are some of her favorites. She was raised by them, she loves to make them and name them, she'll be friendly towards any AI, she's even been wondering if they should make 'medkits' for their cybernetic and robotic crew. She'd love to meet him.

Unfortunately she wavers between being a pleasant introvert and a social dud who doesn't realize she's being obnoxious or annoying. So hopefully a meeting would work out.

From what I've seen of She-ra, it'd probably be extremely turned off at first, but don't take that as a bad thing! That tends to be its default gauge of 99.9% of social encounters. The fact that she's actually treating robots as people worth repairing/healing/etc will definitely give her a point in its book. That's not really common from Murderbot's canon; constructs like it are generally left to repair on their own, and only get straight-up medical attention in extreme cases - so if she, say, encounters it when it's going somewhere to power down and repair for a bit and is like I CAN HELP that might get its attention!

Even if it didn't like her she'd still want to make sure it was alright. Because robot, and also because she doesn't take things personally and she knows she has problems sometimes. She's capable of apologizing when she's realized she's been dumb. (I also need to remember the robotty pronouns sorry about that.)

NO WORRIES ON THE PRONOUN THING FTR; I'm 100% fine OOCly if people identify Murderbot as whathaveyou, it just refers to itself as it/its. It also doesn't care about a lot of things, perception-of-its-gender-or-lack-thereof included :'D

And aw ;n; if she's sincere, another point in her book; what is this apologizing to it like it has feelings

MURDERBOT.

/reserves a slot on your top-level immediately

GRABBY HANDS

I'm going to have it immediately hunt for somewhere to ~~hide~~ figure out WTF is going on; if you'd like, I could set it specifically as reserved for ya? ;D Unless you'd rather Bucky encounter it once it's settled down a wee bit

I am here for dealing with panic attacks and unsettled Murderbots. Let them pay it forward from when people helped them on the platform :3

Hello new roommate :D

hello science man would you like to hear about murderbot's space travels

spoiler; the greater majority of said travels have been as cargo

Hello can I borrow a cup of body?

sorry all out

GET BACK HERE

THIS IS MY BODY AND IM NOT SHARING

Awwwh look a roommate!

... Wei Wuxian has no help on tech, is in fact the one who needs help, and who is very forwardly chatty and congenial in general, and is a fighter! Of a glass canon variety anymore, sobs. He'd love to meet it and honestly could get pulled into watching serial dramas or the like in the cinema car

But hey roomie have you ever dealt with humans with Big Phobias?

PROBABLY. Its ~~favorite~~ ~~personal~~ ~~owner~~ the human it hangs out with most has some PTSD of her own, and it's dealt with plenty others over the years. Do you need someone to pull you out of trouble, Wei? c:

Oh, he doubtlessly will, please save this Wuxian, Murderbot! Though his, uh, powers when he has them are more on the manipulates/uses the energy of the dead to get things done because while he can swordfight, that's also not so relevant when he has no sword and is prone to ending up being in trouble from a strong sense of justice and getting involved in the thick of things

But yes, anything with technology he's also going to go "wait how does any of this work" and has trauma from being part of and watching his basically sister die, having all these dead people back on board, repression is G R E A T

anyway hows yours going, fellow trapped person? (he's going to have zero concept of androids or why it's anything less than a person)

random note--as spoken Mandarin doesn't have pronouns you can differentiate between by sound, I'll be using it in dialog with Murderbot from go as the equivalent, if that's all good by you!

Senku is not a combat person or a robot (sadly, there's the dream) but he is a techy boy who would be happy to talk about science and technology, it always feels like it's been too damn long since he got to talk robotics.

He can deal with an introvert, he naturally is one.

I also play Demyx and Yoite. Nice to meet you!

Murderbot might get Annoyed at being something like a test subject - not that Senku would treat it as one - but once it gets an understanding that Senku isn't, IDK, wanting to take it apart to see how it works, it might warm up. Introvert party! :3

Nice to meet you too!

I don't think he would treat him that way exactly, but he is curious enough that Murderbot may find himself wondering if he is and be wary. It's fine, Senku doesn't always come across as he means...often, ha.

Yeah, sometimes he's sick of pretending he's an extrovert, it's a lot of work.

I love Murderbot so much. The entire concept of the character just amuses me to no end.

ISN'T IT GOOD. I'm so glad I was introduced to it and so ready to inflict it on everyone :D

I'm so ready for Rich to gradually get over his robophobia through meeting and loving a fucking thing named MURDERBOT.

LOOK YOU CAN CALL IT SECUNIT IT'LL PREFER THAT OVER MURDERBOT

murderbot is private name

only certain people can call it that

... only certain people call you that? And you're okay with that, buddy? You like being called a murderous robot?
