JOHN MULANEY STARTERS !
her LED might be concealed ( and flashing yellow beneath the cap she’s pulled on over it ) but there’s no hiding the look of aghast shock that passes across her face. sure, the man had been hassling her a little bit, but io had handled it, and even without revealing what she really was, and the repair charge he’d incur from roughing her up. still, she thinks this new stranger is coming from a place of good intentions, or at the very least hopes he is. “no, i – everything is under control. we really don’t need to escalate this any further.”

HEADCANONS !
io’s personal favourite classic pieces of literature are shakespeare’s julius caesar, mark twain’s the adventures of huckleberry finn, and the poems of emily dickinson
though she’s really not supposed to, io does play favourites with students, especially if they’re nice to her or if their work is truly exceptional
there aren’t a lot of perks to getting on her good side, but she will curve grades up for you ( like maybe a half a percent ) and she is technically a mobile hotspot unit so if ya need wi-fi and the campus network isn’t working she got ya covered
if there are specific members of the faculty that are being particularly nasty to her, later stage software instability io will not hesitate in screwing around with them in little ways, like “accidentally” wiping their entire agenda or purposefully scheduling multiple students for office hours
also io’s name has multiple levels of references -- io was the name of one of zeus’ lovers in greek mythology who was later turned into a cow to be hidden from hera. io is also the name of a galilean moon orbiting jupiter ( which was named after the mythological figure, but some people know the moon before the cow lady )
IMPORTANT THINGS™
io ( pronounced eye-oh ) is one of many androids developed by cyberlife to help make work for university professors and teaching assistants easier
she is programmed to do a number of tasks from simple scheduling and secretarial duties as well as checking papers for plagiarism, calculating grades, and sometimes even administering lectures, when necessary
she was specifically assigned to the department of english, writing, and philosophy and the corresponding knowledge of those subjects was downloaded into her prior to her placement ( classic stories, authors, novels, plays, etc )
over the course of her time at the university, io begins to develop deviancy, seeing as she is exposed to topics and themes of freedom, consciousness, and choice on a day-to-day basis. at the moment i’m not entirely sure what her major emotional shock would be for her to completely break free of her programming, but there’s definitely a lot of software instability going on
i’m not entirely sure what she’d do after going deviant, but part of me thinks she might just stay at the university pretending she’s still under her programming because it is truly an environment she enjoys being in, surrounded by those learning and creating, and probably would face less hostility in a school setting considering that college is a place for open-mindedness, and though i’m sure there’d be anti-android people at her throat there’d be just as many people supporting her kind on campus
what? whats wrong?
