[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Life Emulator series is the brainchild of one adherent of the school of mad science: a young woman by the name of Eliana Shan. In what many would term her quest for an immortal legacy, she engineered a new process for the creation of faster, more flexible, more ‘human’ droid AIs. These AIs, created out of detailed scans of her own neural patterns, were made in her image, and called her ‘children.’[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The first emulator was a confusing prototype--rather than being installed into a droid body, it was utilized as the on-board systems for a ship, and sent out into uncharted space. The full results of this configuration on the AI’s sanity remains unknown. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The second emulator in the series was equally confusing--due to a quirk in their creator’s choices, the AI was set to perfectly mimic, and never deviate from, the mindset of an eleven-year-old . The result was a perpetual girlchild, always pursuing humanity but never, because of its eternal youth, able to achieve it. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]But it was in the third emulator--in LE-03--that Eliana Shan found her most profound success, and her greatest tragedy. Given a customized chassis built for war and modeled after her own personal armor, this AI displayed a plasticity and an autonomy allowing it to take on complex, years-long tasks with full independence. However, it was this plasticity--and its exposure to a world outside of Eliana’s-- that led the AI to take a name of her own, and to evolve in ways that her creator could not control... [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI (“Leigh) and Chassis are designed to move and operate as closely to an organic being as physically possible using modern technology. While its weight can be prohibitive, its solid construction, lightning-fast AI with constant access to the Holonet, and powerful arm cannon make it formidable in most combat environments. While the original design is intended to resemble an armored human body, The AI displays a lack of attachment to a specific organic type (with one notable exception), instead preferring to utilize every aspect of its droid body to further develop itself in preferred ways. Given enough time and the right set of circumstances, the droid as a whole may self-modify into a terrifying war machine, or a fully pacifistic model dedicated to diplomacy and the gathering of knowledge. It is currently operating as the partner of a former Jedi known as Na’an, and has shown an unusual proclivity towards medical research and development in its spare time.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Intent:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Want to port over a custom droid/AI character from another website with minimal change. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]Primary Source: Metroid’s Samus Aran armor. Some AI aspects pulled from the Bobiverse.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Manufacturer:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Irma Olanthe (Original creator a character from another site known as Eliana Shan, who does not belong to me and may not be ported. Will be mentioned extensively in the character’s profile and background.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Model:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Life Emulator Model LE-03, Codename “Leigh”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Production: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Unique[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Affiliation:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Vidalu Na’an [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Modularity:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Theoretically, the LE-03 AI could be placed into another chassis, but so far this has not been tested. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Material: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Durasteel, duralium plating around the joints, electronics[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Classification: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Class 3/4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weight: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]227 kg[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Height:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] 2.0 meters[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Movement:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Bipedal[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Armaments: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]1 custom multi-phase arm cannon[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Misc. Equipment: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Audiovisual array, advanced voice emulators, thickened duralium shielding around key joints[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Dome head modified into a comprehensive holographic projector[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Persistent passive connection to the Holonet[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 chassis is an example of extreme firepower in a limited frame. Its integrated arm cannon has multiple settings, allowing for concussive or sonic shots as well as laserfire. Each shot is capable of rapid firepower, or charging for a more powerful shot to clear a room. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI’s origins allow for an unusual level of flexible and independent thought, and can operate and make decisions without orders from its handler. This AI allows the droid to bridge the gap between Class 4 and Class 3 droid types, and approach organic levels of self-determination. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI is capable of evolution and self-modification based on situational needs. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI maintains a persistent passive connection to the Holonet, allowing for quick searching, analysis, and retrieval of data not contained within the unit (ex. Multiple languages, building/ship schematics, etc.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Passive Holonet connection allows the LE-03 AI to create backups of itself in an outside storage location, preventing total loss in the event of EMP/ion exposure. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]As the LE-03 chassis is quite heavy for its size, it is impractical for work where delicate or graceful movement are required. Its large size also makes combat difficult in tight quarters without significant collateral damage. The LE-03 chassis is also somewhat top-heavy, although the AI has learned to compensate via strategic stances. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The arm cannon on the LE-03 chassis requires a brief charging period wheon modes are switched. Charging may also be required in preparation for a more powerful shot.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 chassis lacks fine motor control due to its construction only providing one humanoid hand. While the AI is capable of calculations at incredible speeds, manual interfacing with other electronics severely limits the utilization of these calculations, and should be avoided if possible in favor of a direct connection [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI was made via the active scan of an organic brain. As a result, it is subject to similar biases, emotional extremes, etc. as most organic beings, even if it more aware of these biases than most. A skilled combatant with knowledge of these biases could easily manipulate the unit into making what would normally be considered ‘stupid’ mistakes. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The LE-03 AI is built with a failsafe designed to force compliance and erase all previous priorities in favor of the protection of the one activating it. However, this failsafe is voice-activated with a specific passphrase, keyed to the unique vocal patterns of the AI’s creator, and theoretically could not be activated by anyone else.[/SIZE]
The LE-03 AI is vulnerable to EMP/ion exposure, which can lead to extensive (and irreparable, depending on the severity of exposure) damage to chassis electronics. The AI can be preserved via frequent backups, but will not contain any memories created between the date of the backup and the date of exposure. Depending on the severity of the exposure, the chassis may also be rendered unusable, requiring the AI to be uploaded into a new body.
