+1 Talking Robot Dog

Hi guys! My name's Dirk, and I am completely and totally new to this community (though I'm old hat to journal-based roleplay). I'm 34 years old and apprentice as a beekeeper while I work (slowly) on getting an education in environmental science.

Anyway, today I'm bringing you LQ-84i, aka Bladewolf, from the Metal Gear Solid spin-off "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". He's an artificial intelligence that was developed specifically to replace human soldiers in armed combat, but since his creators never thought to instill a sense of brutality in him, he's a complete and utter failure as a weapon. He was activated by a private military force and was forced to work and kill for them for a short time, before being "rescued" (as in he was chopped into tiny little bits and then salvaged) by the game's protagonist, a Cyborg Ninja called Raiden.

Bladewolf is loyal, if snarky, and has immense curiosity about pretty much everything, and because of the way he was programmed, can't really tell people apart at first glance (he was programmed to recognize digital identification signatures, rather than remembering faces). He's an expert tracker, and can throw things with a three-fingered manipulator on the tip of his tail. He's coming to the turtle after having ridden in an experimental aircraft on the way to Pakistan to prevent an insane politician from starting World War III with a giant robot, and is carrying around a really fancy sword in his mouth.

Also? He's got a really cool character theme on the game's soundtrack.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to playing with you all! :-D

I honestly dithered over which of my muses to bring here, and Bladewolf seemed to be the best fit. Thanks :-D

I'm looking forward to ALL of the tech-savvy characters meeting Bladewolf. His AI is essentially a digital version of a human brain, and is otherwise blackboxed, so he can't be reprogrammed or altered, aside of teaching him new tricks the old-fashioned way. He'll be curious about other tech and AI stuff, since he's never met another AI capable of speech like himself.

Ah, well JARVIS isn't installed on these suits, although there is a reasonably smart computer in it. Aya, however, the AI navigation computer-turned-woman from Green Lantern, will totally want to meet him.

But hey, can't say no to a robodog.

Well, even just talking to the likes of Pepper will be enough. Bladewolf's only 3 years old, after all, and has a fairly limited education. He'll want to know ALL the things.

She will happily talk about all of the things. She will teach him everything he needs to know, which sadly does not include The Mummy here in Keeliai but would anywhere else.
