* CHARACTER INTERVIEW .
TAGGED BY . @hevbound , thank you!!
NAME . GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System)
NICKNAME . Gladys, Glads, DOS (pronounced ‘Doss’), Her, Right-Nasty-Piece-Of-Work
AGE . Indeterminate; mentally mature
SPECIES . Aperture Laboratories Personality Construct
MORALITY . lawful / chaotic / good / neutral / evil / true
RELIGION . Atheist. Being an AI, data is everything she knows, and as far as she has, there’s no concrete data to support the theory of a higher being.
SINS . greed / gluttony / sloth / lust / pride / envy / wrath
VIRTUES . chastity / charity / diligence / humility / kindness / patience / justice
KNOWN LANGUAGES . Predisposed to speaking/communicating in English, but has a formal understanding of most languages.
SECRETS . GLaDOS struggles to keep her facility from being disturbed, be it from the outside or from within. It is all she has, and will defend it with her life, which is directly tied to it. While unaware of the intensity of the war that rages on overhead, she is aware that there is something incredibly violent happening, and wants to keep Aperture as far away from it as possible. Having lost all contact with the world beyond the facility, GLaDOS has stockpiled pre-war secrets, all the way from formulas, medicinal recipes, regular recipes, to normal things like how to sew a ripped seam shut again. She is, after all, a veritable wealth of knowledge, especially in these troubled times.
BUILD . scrawny / bony / slender / fit / athletic / curvy / herculean / pudgy / average
HEIGHT . Exact measurements unknown; her chassis is over 10 ft long.
SCARS / BIRTHMARKS . Her hull and exterior of the chassis is littered with random scratches, but none too terribly deep.
ABILITIES / POWERS . Omniscient, but only within the walls of Aperture. Besides possessing basic knowledge on almost every subject known to mankind, GLaDOS can (usually) keep track of you to a tee while you’re within the facility. Her security measures have expanded and her cautionary preparations have grown since the last ‘incident’.
((I’m aware she is a robot, but let’s play pretend for a bit!))
FOOD . GLaDOS would love fruit and all fruit-filled foods. By that extension, she would also love pastries (Pies, turnovers, cakes, etc). As far as most foods go, she prefers crispy over nearly anything else (Apples, pears, carrots, etc). She would like the taste of some junk foods, having a preference for stronger tastes like salt and vinegar chips, but the fact at they have little to no nutritional value puts her off from eating them regularly. She also likes stuff high in protein, beef jerky especially. Her favorite snack is apples with peanut butter on them, or sometimes apples that are salted.
DRINK . Unsweetened orange juice. Would also like coffee, just a smidge of sugar but more creamer than she’d admit; bitterness isn’t a flavor she likes too much.
PIZZA TOPPING . Pepperoni and olives! Also likes onions if they’re crunchy
COLOR . White and off-white, as well as golds, reds, and oranges. Sky blue as well, but not as much!
MUSIC GENRE . Fluctuates; doesn’t often listen to music.
BOOK GENRE . At this point, anything that she hasn’t read before is a welcome change, if only to scrutinize it. Getting particular, she likes observations and theories about human behaviors and psyches; not quite philosophy, something with a bit more substance than that.
MOVIE GENRE . Aside from informational content, she also loves psychological horror films.
CURSE WORD . She rarely ever uses actual curse-words, sh feels she’s too good for them, but ‘bastard’ is probably her favorite
SCENTS . There’s not really a name for it other than ‘hospital smell’ and coolant. Most cleaning products are also fine.
BOTTOM OR TOP . She’s a top; control and loss of it is a big concern for her. She can/will bottom, but she has to be in control the entire time.
SINGS IN THE SHOWER . Absolutely not
LIKES PUNS . Also absolutely not, she’s a snob about ‘comedy’
