A sweet explanation of Peko’s levels of Emotional Capacity (EM-CAP). aka: how she acts when the shit changes. This is a lot longer than I expected it to be.
Pretty much how one would expect a robot to act. She acts solely on her functions and for the sake of her objectives. She obeys anyone she is told to obey without question or care for people who are of no importance to her objectives.
She is aware that there are many things she doesn’t know, but she doesn’t really care. She doesn’t take any time to learn about people who are not important to the Kuzuryuu clan. Not even names.
Peko is extremely curious at this stage. She is still very aware that she knows very little, but she is very intent on learning about everything she can. It is still very difficult for her to understand why people do things, but she will often ask the reasons behind things people do.
Her objectives and the Kuzuryuu Clan are still higher in priority than other people but she does give a small attempt to take people into account if she’s able. She still doesn’t learn names very often, but occasionally will remember people she finds interesting.
Peko learns to experience her own emotions at this stage. She is very excitable and finds enjoyment in a lot of things in the world. She likes speaking to people and learning about them and even helps people who need help. All of the emotions she experiences are positive at this stage.
She can empathize at this point and therefore does take into account the feelings and consequences her actions with have on people but she will most often still carry out objectives unless she has firm reason not to. People and her objectives have approximately the same priority at this point.
She will learn almost everyone’s name at this point and onward. She really likes people.
Peko begins to experience negative emotions, largely in part because she begins to realize that not all people function from “good”. She begins to be able to decipher for herself the difference between things that are “good” and things that are “bad” and the reasons why people switch from doing “good things” to doing “bad things”.
It is usually at this point that Peko will often start to question her own morality and will occasionally take other people into priority before her objectives; though Fuyuhiko is still her overall priority. It is extremely easy to guilt her into or out of things in this stage. She learns to (somewhat) “lie”.
As close as she can get to acting human. The only real difference between a normal person and her is that she can’t physically express some emotions in the way real humans do (i.e: she can’t cry, etc), and she still can’t quite “lie” even if she wants to.
At this point, things that differentiate her from real humans will bother her. She will talk quite often talk about either wanting to turn off her emotions (which is really a thing that she can do) or wanting to be human.
Others will almost always take priority over her objectives at this point and possible even over Fuyuhiko.
Peko can not function at a 100% EMCAP. If she is not already reset by this point her systems will reset on their own and run the memory erase automatically.
