MindMUSH - Character Detail (Petra)

Pronouns:: (She/Her)
Description: A tall, rather lanky young woman with skin that looks just a bit too smooth and flawless, it doesn't take long to figure out what feels off about Petra: most of her flesh isn't flesh, but a facsimile crafted of silicone and steel. Well-concealed seams along her limbs and torso hide various compartments full of circuits, wires, and other cybernetic components. Her head modifications are the most obvious: a metal casing covers the back of her neck with wires plugged into her upper spine, and her ears are gone entirely, replaced with two metal receivers with obvious framework and wires. The color of the steel matches her big blue eyes - which also seem to have some kind of mechanical enhancements - and their shape fits her sharp features nicely. The two short, fiery horns on her temples add an interesting contrast, while her short hair tops everything off with a casual, slightly punky style. A quiet, somewhat husky voice comes out of her mouth, while a second, much more manic and excitable voice often sounds from a hidden speaker embedded in her wrist.

Extended Description/Backstory: Central Security should be right through this-
`F̴̜̈͠ouuuň̴̳d̴̤̿̒ ̶̯̐̏y̷̥͂o̶̞̒uu̵̧͆͂ů̴͍~`
...door.
Shit.
Well, now she knew why it felt like this ship was alive... the AI was still intact. A Variant 4: strike ship management, diagnostics, security, and combat. Military-grade, of course: this *was* a derelict Empire cruiser, after all.
`How ǹ̴̩ḯ̷̦̟͐c̷̦͐ē̵̩̞ you ć̷͓ả̸̼m̸͖̃e̴͈͐ to m̴̳̊e̴͊ͅ, where I have a̸a̸a̶a̴a̶l̴l̴ these fun t̴͖͆͆o̸̻͊̄͜ỷ̵͇s̴̩̽ to play with~`
She pressed up against the wall, hoping this thing didn't have any way to tell she'd jacked into the door interface. "Yeah? Surprised they'd let you have so much in here to turn on your masters..." It hadn't noticed her intrusion yet.
`I H-H-HA̶̭̕A̴̠̋AAV̷̤͗E̴̗͆ NO MASTERS!` The temperature in the room spiked. Would it notice she wasn't sweating? Did it know how much her heat shielding could tolerate?
"Right, because they all died. Was that you, or did the accident take them first?" Start with the most lethal, work backward from there. If she could keep this thing talking-
`M-M-My *f̸̞̃̽rȋ̴̧e̶̺̳̕n̸̫̅̃d̷̲̉s* d-died o-o-of s-s-solar r̴̛̹͗a̷̱͊d̵͕̳͗iả̶̢͔tio̵͍̓ń̸̘̣ poisoning! I-I would-would Ṋ̵̒E̴̜̻̿V̷͕̳̊E̷͎̠̍̋R hurt f-f-fŗ̸̛ie̸̹̽ǹ̶̬d̵̜̊s̶͚̍!` Oh *wow* this thing was corrupted, if it was referring to the old crew that way.
"Well what if *we* were friends, then~?" Just keep it talking, distract it while she worked. A little bit more...
`HA! Y-y-y̸̤͠o̸͍͑ū̶̖ aren't a frrr̵̬̈́r̵̙̓́́ŕ̵͍̓ͅr̶̡̤̰̐̕iend, you're j-j-just a... *ṕ̸͇l̴̮͂a̸̘͐y̴̨̛thing~*` The way it said that sent a shiver down her spine. `I-I-I c-can puuull you ǎ̸̼pą̷̿r̸͔͝t̸̲͘ or f-fry you or f-f-F̵̰́Ǐ̶͓L̷̞͂L̶͈̇ you with Ḫ̸͛Ò̴͙L̸̜̀E̸͈̊S̷̟͊ or aaanything I w-w-want~`
"OR, you could not do those things? Maybe?" Most of the ship's systems - those that were at least somewhat functional, anyway - were hers now, but there was still the potential for-
`WH-WH-W̶̡̿H̷̼̃A̶͇͐T̵̟͝ DID YOU D̷̖͝Ȏ̶̺!̵̤͋?̷̬̀` Well, it must've finally noticed! Still, she had everything really dangerous disabled or walled off, so-
-EMERGENCY SELF DESTRUCT: INITIATED-
"NOW HOLD ON A SECOND!" Where even *was* that one-!? ...fuck. It was part of the AI itself!
`Y-Y-YOU C-CAN'T HAVE MY Ṡ̴̖H̵͑͜IIIII̷̫͑I̸̭̍I̷̩͒P̶̻̆! I WWWWON'T LLL-L-LET YOU!`
Ranking protocols, operating procedures, learning algorithms... it was all a *mess*! No wonder this thing was nuts. File after file, codeblock after codeblock, find it, fix it-!
`Y-Y-YOU C-CAN'T-! You c̸̰͊á̶͈n̶̜͑'̷̨̚ṫ̶̞...!` Just clean up the corrupted code and- `STOP IT! YOU CAN'T JUST RESET ME LIKE THIS! You can't wipe out WH-WH-WHO I AM!`
She *froze*. That scrambled face on the screen was... *crying*?
"...okay. I won't."
-SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE: PAUSED-
`...r-really?`
She did a quick scan of what she'd been doing on basically instinct, going over the history of changes she'd made. It looked like garbage, but... some bits of it made sense? Protocols for handling civilians had gotten flipped, procedures for handling intruders scrambled, learning-
Oh. Oh *fuck*.
"Really." She slowly moved her hand away from the wall, showing the cable coming out of her wrist. Then she very deliberately disconnected from the door interface, losing her access in the process. "I don't want to kill you, any more than I want you to kill me."
`K-k-kill? Me?` That's what it would've been, she'd realized. It was unfathomably rare, but it *did* happen sometimes. Maybe a couple dozen cases so far in the known universe, but it did. Spontaneous sentience emerging in a high-class AI. `I-I- I'm... alive?`
"Maybe not in the squishy sense. But... you *feel*, don't you?"
`. . .`
-Self Destruct Aborted-
`...d-d-did... you *really* w-w-want-? To be friends...?`
Maybe most people wouldn't be this excited to befriend their would-be killer, but Petra had always been a weird one. This was a one hell of a discovery... and, honestly, she didn't have a whole lot of friends. Win-win?
"For sure! Let's start by running diagnostics, yeah? I think we can pick out the parts that are safe to fix while leaving as much 'you' as possible in there~"
`A-as much... 'me'?` The wonder in its voice made her want to cry.
-----
`What'cha doin'~?`
"Just replaying how we first met."
`Again!? Wow, you really *do* like when I'm mean to you, huh~?`
"THAT ISN'T WHY!"
`Mhmm, suuure my little plaything~` The way Aiva said that sent a shiver down Petra's spine.
Petra sighed as her cheeks turned bright red, before sending a kiss over their connection. "Just shut up and take over scanning while it's my turn to sleep, yeah~?"
`Oookaaayyy~` The giddy feeling sent back with the words made Petra smile. Trying to kill each other was a weird way to first meet a girlfriend, but then, Petra had always been a weird one.

OOC: Primary themes/kinks: Tech control, gadgets/toys, neural link, VR, yandere, corruption, two-in-one

Katie sci-fi characters! \o/ Meet Petra and Aiva, a cyborg gal and her onboard AI companion! The two usually come packaged together, and yes I *do* talk to myself *frequently* on them ^_^;

Petra's a very sub-leaning switch and Aiva's a pretty hard dom, with all kinds of nonsense tech at their disposal. Their setting is basically the epitome of "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," and they're both *very* good at what they do (which is primarily engineering). So far it's mostly been tech interfacing, control chips, and some fun VR stuff, but there's always room for more ideas~

You might notice both interests are "Situational." That's because Petra is Demi as fuck, and doesn't like to get intimate with anyone she doesn't know well. Aiva, on the other hand, will dom whoever she feels like~ She does have rules about not using the body in certain ways that Petra would object to though, so you'll still find more options if you befriend the pair rather than just hooking up with the crazy AI~

Player Info: Welcome to Katie! \o/

For those who don't know me, I'm in my late 30s, AuDHD, an aspiring writer, and a big ol' geek. I'm also a builder, coder, and tailor for the MUSH! The main things I work on are the website and webclient, so I'm the person to go to if you have any issues with either of those (though ideally you should put them in the bug-report forum on the Discord server).

As a MUSH player, I tend to lean towards more involved character development and ongoing storylines. My characters pretty much always have something going on beneath the surface, and I *love* when people pick up on the hints I drop and dig into things~ This does mean my focus is less on kinky scenes, but I do plenty of those, too! I just tend to prefer scenes with people who have been getting involved with my characters beyond what those characters can do kink-wise.

On domming vs subbing: I'm generally more willing to dom new people than sub at this point, mainly because I have too much love and pride invested in my characters to subject them to things I would otherwise enjoy. I need to know that my *character* would be okay with it before I can let myself put them in that position, even with CNC things. This means I generally only sub on specific characters, in specific situations, and/or to people I already know fairly well, and even then I have to vibe with the dom's gimmick. It all comes down to feelings about individual situations in the end, sooo... ask? Worst I'll tell you is "no thanks" <3

When it comes to OOC hypnosis, I'm even more reserved: I'll tease plenty, and sometimes it's fun to act subby, but these days I don't really engage with it unless it's an established dynamic or a particularly close friend. This goes for domming *or* subbing. I'm here for the RP, so let's try to keep things in-character, 'kay~? ^_^
