1: What is your character’s biggest fear?
Futility, at best. Things (Not just for him but for a mass collective) ultimately not working out– as he’s already had to deal with the closest to that, he does his best to avoid experiencing it again. This also might tie into ‘loss’, that is, of acquaintances and such. But he doesn’t dwell too much on these things; so far as he’s concerned, he just reacts to predetermined neural functions. Call it self-denial.
20: What is the most surprising thing about your character?
…To me? Probably the fact that he uses “I” when speaking, despite his constant rejection of his very existence. I think he might recognize this as a contradiction, but he– could possibly be going by the notion that mindless children’s toys use self-identifying pronouns.
44: What is your character proud of?
Well, he is prideful, but also not at all. It’s like a pseudo-meta-pride, acknowledging his creators’ accomplishments in actually successfully creating fully synthetic life-like intelligence, but also talking shit about them nonstop and rejecting their ideals. I think it’s more that he’d RATHER be a standard AI, because it would be far simpler, but he can also look at his ability to actually get depressed/dream/write music or prose and be like “Huh. … Annoying, but interesting.”
