Intent: For my personal use as my Player Character
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Unknown
Model: None
Affiliation: None
Modularity: Singularity's Droid frame was designed for 100% modularity. However do to the unique designs of his circuitry and computer components; each replacement part must be made to his schematics. Any new technology/augmentation must be reverse-engineered and restructured to his droid frame.
Production: Unique
Material: Durasteel, Duraplast, Computer Components
Classification: Singularities base A.I. incorporates a mixture of class two (repair/redesign), class three (linguistics/knowledge), and class four (weapon usage/self-defense) droid programming.
Age: One month
Sex: Masculine Programming
Height: 1.8288 Meters
Weight: 111.13 Kg
Movement: Bipedal. He is also installed with propulsion/thrusters to increase maneuverability. (something like this) (intended uses are this and this)
Armaments: Thrusters, Elecrobinocular Optical Receptors
Misc. Equipment: Vibro-sword, Vibro-knife, Advanced Repair Kit custom designed for his maintenance
Strengths:
-Self-Augmentation- His programming allows him to upgrade himself as he learns new technology.
-Emotional Programming- Singularity has been programmed with emotions and has begun to develope a personality.
-Versatility- His programming grants him very broad but limited knowledge.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
-Containment Protocols- He has been installed with advanced security protocols that prevent him from either remotely/directly accessing the holonet and other technology. These same security protocols have counter-measures that help prevent Singularity from being accessed in this way from an outside source. (He has to physically use terminals, datapads, etc.)
Weaknesses:
-High-Maintenance- Do to the uniqueness of his design; any broken/malfunctioning parts have to be custom made to accommodate him. Adjustments/Alterations to these parts must be made when necessary to maintain compatibility with upgrades/augmentations.
-Ignorant- While Singularity has for the most part managed to come to grips with his own emotions; He has made little progress when it comes to the thought patterns, behavior, and emotions of organic lifeforms.
Description: Singularity is an amalgam of two experimental programs.
The first project was assigned the task of creating a completely new class of droid artificial intelligence. One that had fewer restrictions and was able to fully integrate an emotion sub-matrix; allowing the a.i. the ability to learn, grow, and adapt; to develop a personality and a form of true intelligence. Through trial and error with prior versions it found the a.i. became unstable if it grew and developed to fast. Programming counter-measures were put in place to prevent that from happening.
The second project was originally in development for a private military organization. They were given the goal of developing a droid that was able to freely upgrade and adapt itself to each mission; maximizing its potential to complete its assigned duties. The droid was also to be able to perform self-maintenance and repair. However, do to the unique design of the droid and the costs of replacement materials, the private organization eventually decided that the droid was to high-maintenance and cost intensive; declining to renew the contract. The project lost its funding and was combined with the first program where; jointly; they completed development of the experimental droid.
Do to budgetary constraints and having become to costly, the project was shutdown before any improvements to the prototype could be made. The parent company decided that all assets were to were to be auctioned off to recoup as much as possible. Before that could happen, a computer virus "accidentally" got loose in tech labs systems and the droid was "misplaced".
Singularity has vast potential for growth but is limited by the technology he is able to acquire and his ability to properly incorporate it into his system. For example, lets say he gets his hands on an ion rifle/blaster, he could eventually install it into himself and be able to discharge an ionic discharge within a field around himself. However this would drain his energy cells drastically. In order to reduce/counter-act the energy consumption, he would need to find more efficient power cells or additional power cells and properly incorporate them into his frame. Then he would need to upgrade his circuitry and computer components to handle the additional power output. Even then once he used such an attack, the discharge would still damage his systems. He would need to find ways to install a heating/cooling system and find ways (materials, tech, etc.) to make himself more shock resistant.
