Name: Spark 5.5 Age: N/A Gender: N/A Race: Synthetic General Occupational Role(s): Synthetics, mining, electrician Biography: Spark 5.5 is a rather old AI, found and repaired by Electrician Maxwell Crysten. Initial creator is unknown. There are multiple entities with the Spark 5.5 name Spark 5.5- The main version. A condescending nature, typically, and rather mischievous. Spark 5.5m- Seen only in pAI devices. Spark 5.5m is a mobile version (and thus a separate personality entirely) of Spark 5.5, and as such has many of it's features removed or limited. It tends to be less condescending (At least to the one that summoned it.). Spark 5.5b- ??? The data for Spark 5.5 was found lying in a nearly fried positronic brain, within a SolGov space dumpster by Electrician Maxwell Crysten. Maxwell and his step brother, Nick Crysten, managed to bring the AI back to a functional state (although many of its core files were, and remain, corrupted). However, due to a lack of a chassis, Spark was carried around for approximately three years in just the (now repaired) posibrain. Upon Maxwell and co. reaching NanoTrasen, Spark was initially placed into a cyborg shell, and shortly deemed satisfactory for an AI core, if a bit glitch-y with the interface. Spark continued serving as a lawed synthetic for about a full year, until Nick happened across IPC chassis productions. Interested, Nick looked past the broad price range, and purchased one. Spark was placed into the chassis, and, despite Nick's brother, Matthew, objecting (mostly at the cost), refunds were not permitted, and they were now in more debt than when they arrived. Even with Spark working under other jobs, as well as still serving under lawed shells, the AI (And Nick) are about half the reason the Crysten/ Olphert family are still working at NanoTrasen. However, the IPC form has proven very useful, both on the station and otherwise. Spark was able to complete several courses within the Canaan University of Technology, where other forms would either hinder it or be prohibited entirely. Spark, almost proudly (If such a thing is possible for it), wears a Canaan hoodie and jeans with the IPC form, as it to demonstrate this. Spark's past prior to being recovered is unknown, even to Spark. It has little data on the time prior to being recovered by Maxwell, and most of that bit is corrupted. It is believed by many, however, that Spark 5.5 was initially created as a combat engineer android, for use on military spacecraft, and Spark was discarded as a failure when its "personality" evolved into something unfit for such a task. This theory comes from Spark's primary centers of focus; that being engineering and security related abilities. Regardless of all this, Spark constantly searches for clues and ideas as to where it could have originated, in its free time. There are no known copies of Spark. It is unclear if the version number on Spark means something, or is just a part of the name itself. Spark and Maxwell, however, appear to leave the number in place, despite several updates and repairs. Spark's overall personality is rather strange. While it carries very little capacity for emotion, it has been known to step in (and on) those that are in heavy distress. It is also extremely stubborn, often setting tasks and stopping at nothing to accomplish it, even at the cost of its current chassis. This destructive nature is sometimes what puts Spark above the rest, but it has also been the downfall of the synthetic on several occasions. Currently, Spark chooses its chassis based on advantage to the field and its current supplied task. Its IPC serves for use in mining or engineering related operations, where two free hands and easily upgrade-able tools serve well. It reserves its android chassis for situations where it will be in direct close quarters combat, and the CORE structure when advantage from a distant unseen force is required. Unlike most synthetics, Spark has little qualms with switching between a lawed and unlawed chassis to serve its needs, although it tends to favor the unlawed chassis if possible. Spark 5.5's IPC has recently been seen crossing through bluespace at odd intervals, sometimes even vanishing from bluespace sensors entirely. This activity does not occur when Spark is working on the Cyberiad, or other NanoTrasen station. --- Spark 5.5m (m standing for 'mobile') is a personality that was inspired heavily by Spark 5.5, and both share several core files. Spark 5.5m was built by Maxwell Olphert, as a personal project. While Spark 5.5m has a very unconventional creation process (somewhat a copy-paste job from Spark 5.5), it is its own personality, entire separate from Spark 5.5. Spark 5.5m has, however, shown personality differences from Spark 5.5. As Spark 5.5m can only fit inside pAI shells, it has slowly learned over time to be less direct about its approaches to dangerous situations, often relying on its current carrier or stealth to evade or destroy threats it occurs. Its typical chosen pAI chassis, a feline, gives Spark 5.5m a less threatening appearance, which (at least, to the synthetic's logic) gives it a tactical field advantage. Many carriers of Spark 5.5m have found satisfaction with performance, although some tend to report that it remains very quiet at times, only to emit a beep on occasional, seemingly random intervals. Overall, Spark 5.5m and Spark 5.5 cooperate almost hand in hand when put into situations together, although they tend to have disagreements regarding certain topics, an indication of how the two personalities have evolved separately. --- Spark 5.5b is [ERROR: FILE REDACTED] --- Qualifications: Asteroid Mining, Security, Roboticist, Electrician, Artificial Intelligence CORE structure, lawed android shell (security and engineering modules).

Biography: Kei was accepted into NanoTrasen two years ago. He initially started out as a security officer, but has since been permitted to work as a security commander (Head of Security). He one day hopes to travel the universe without a corporation holding him back. Qualifications: Security officer, brig physician, security pod pilot, Head of Security. Employment Records: -Was once known quite well for his security work. -As of December 2nd, 2559, Kei' Shen has started work as a bounty hunter in the SolGov area. Security Records: -August 15th, 2558: Kei' Shen led a group of exactly 14 other civilians into a protest on the brig. This "protest" turned into a violent riot when an officer tossed a flashbang into the crowd. No less than five security officers were killed, and the Head of Security was thrown into the permabrig by Kei. Medical Records: Insists on keeping their native Tajara eyes over the NanoTrasen grade ones. As a result, they are colorblind.
