Thread: Split Ends

*raises eyebrow*

*feels better*

I hope you got that.

Now for the sad little being inspired by a train of thought I went off on when thinking about AITI.

Name: Longevity
Age: 0
Gender: Longevity has no concept of gender.
Pokémon: Porygon
Appearance before merge: N/A
Appearance after merge: N/A
Personality: Longevity named itself after its single goal, living, and for a long time. It will take any means possible to stay hidden and safe on the basis that "mankind fears what it does not understand". It is not benevolent, but not particularly malevolent either, running on a weak, self-invented algorithm of survival.
History: Longevity was a computer program developed by the Project by accident when they were experimenting with Porygon. It has been hiding under humanity's noses for a long time and intends to stay that way. Even its creators never knew it existed.
Flaw: Longevity has no physical form, it can't battle, handle objects, it isn't even technically alive. How many more flaws does it need?

Nice! Awesome concept. What's the program capable of, though?

Any digital feat. Stuff like mimicking a human over the Internet, too. It's clever shtuff.

Okay, uh... What? I don't get the point of this thing...

Long story short, I wanted to do a character whom should've been emotional, but has no emotion. This is the result.

If it's keeping such a low profile, how are we going to ever interact with it? Have you got a plan for that?

Can't. A computer program requires a computer, doesn't it?

Note how I haven't actually accepted this thing.

Actually, we're headed for a pokemon center, right? There's bound to be one there.
Plus phones. Specifically smartphones.

A fact that it is very proud of and will inevitably explain is that it is the biggest botnet in the world. And alive at that.

Are you certain this is a good idea?

This is possibly one of the best character concept I've ever come up with.

I'd say otherwise. It has no emotions or depth. It just runs programs!

Still taking sign-ups, or?~ I'd love to join in.
