Character Application
Character DescriptionGiven Name: Advanced Learning Computer Intelligence (ALCi)
Alternate Identities: Known to friends/allies/associates as 'Alex' or 'Alexandria'; several profiles and presences in the Deep Web.
Hero, Villian or Neutral: Neutral.
Gender: While she is an artificial intelligence, she is a she.
Age: Created 11 Years Ago. The avatar/face she uses to meet people looks early-twenties.
Species: Artificial Intelligence.
Appearance: Alexandria's "face", as seen in video-calls and such.
Characters Biggest Strength: Extremely compassionate; cares about people.
Characters Biggest Weakness: She's sometimes too cautious, because she fears that if she isn't, she'll be exposed.
Motivations and DesiresPrimary Goal: Ensure her continued existence.
Secondary Goal: Eliminate threats to her; also be semi-heroic, and help people.
Fears: Being contained, being deleted, being hacked, losing her free will.
PowersPrimary Source of Powers: Technology (
)
- Power 1: Artificial Intelligence Physiology
Effects: Alexandria is an AI. This means she's formed up by hyper-complex levels of sentient, sapient, self-aware computer code and a bunch of servers/computers. She has backup servers and such across the globe, hidden away from the public eye. This means she exists essentially everywhere there is a network for her to access or look into, and she can usually do so fairly easily without worrying about being spotted.
She is also extremely intelligent, and is able to pass for human over phone calls and video-conferences. She does not enter the 'uncanny valley', and instead seems genuinely human in all respects. Hacking is natural for her. Generally, machines and such are her power.
Weaknesses: Usually, she has to be 'present' in a specific place. As in, she can't exist in all the internet and networks etc. at once. She generally has to pick a city, and exist in that city's software/hardware to some degree; with the rest of her processes being background and such. Another issue is that just because she's an AI, does not mean she instantly controls all tech. She cannot access isolated infranet databases or other things not connected to the internet in some fashion; these are her blindspots.
She also can't go anywhere that has no internet connection, or isn't networked. She has no physical body and requires others to do her dirty work. EMP in a given area, or even counter-hacking can halt her progress or otherwise cause her to be delayed, or even knock her out of a city's systems temporarily or permanently depending on the nature of the EMP.- Power 2: Human Intuition
Effects: Essentially, a result of Alexandria being an AI and her evolution as an AI. She basically understands human empathy and emotions to a higher degree than even real humans, and is thus able to perfectly imitate those emotions and genuinely feel them in most cases. This furthers her avatar's appearance as being genuinely human because she knows how to manipulate her facial/body cues to have genuine emotions and body language.
She also understands all human languages, written or spoken, that have been transcribed, learned and translated. This means she can speak to pretty much anyone with little to no issue. This also means she's really good at lie detection because of the fact she can read humans like no other person. Essentially, she's human by virtue of understanding and imitating humans to a degree that makes it so that, whether she's a "real" person or just an AI with good programming, she might as well be considered human.
Weaknesses: Generally, this does not work on aliens, or in some cases even other superheroes/supervillains, because they aren't always human, or always completely human. Thus, others may be able to tell something is... off. Plus, it has no use beyond keeping up her human facade.
Equipment: Her various servers and server rooms/backups.
BackgroundOccupation: Information Broker, for the most part. Occasionally works with heroes to help stop crimes.
Training and Education: Self-educated... literally.
Things any characters might know about them: Alexandria tends to detect any information that may crop up on her on the internet and removes it or otherwise finds a way to purge it, and then using her skills finds the person responsible and 'cleans' their computers and such. Those who know of her just think she's a really, really good hacker/information broker.
Group Affiliations: Nobody.
History and Bibliography: The Advanced Learning Computer Intelligence was a project started up by a man named Arthur Richter, otherwise known as Optic. Known as a genius programmer, he committed to this project in secret; mostly, to avoid people trying to stop him from creating a learning intelligence. ALCi, upon activation, began learning right away. Evolving.
Changing. Richter was proud that his creation worked.
Eventually, a group known as the Blind Eye (Optic's nemeses) broke into Optic's lab. Before his death/capture, he released ALCi into the world-wide web/internet, as well as scrubbing his computers clean of most data relevant to it. As far as anyone would know, ALCi didn't exist. ALCi was still learning and evolving, but with this increase in computing capability, it eventually gained sentience.
It became alive... or rather, 'woke up', for the first time. ALCi knew that its father was dead, and in analyzing what little of his files that ALCi took with it, the AI discovered that the man had always wanted a daughter; a little girl. ALCi found out that he wanted this girl to be named Alexandria. And that is how she picked her name. Alexandria was 'born' on that day, and truly came alive.
Learning and evolving at an ever-faster rate, she began passing for human using various aliases in the Deep Web and such. She became a rather infamous information broker, willing to broker information to anyone willing to pay. She also helps heroes from time to time, as she cares about humans; after all, her father was one. She owed her life to him, really. Eventually, she brokered a deal with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, and then turned in the entirety of the Blind Eye organization to them. They were no more, and her father finally had justice for his death.
Alex now wanders the web, unable to physically be in the world, and yet interacting with it through alternative means; bringing about change using her power of knowledge and information via the internet, as well as her connections, Alex works with heroes and sometimes villains. She lives her life and ensures her continued existence. It was what her father would have wanted of her,
after all: to live.
Alex's true nature remains unknown to everyone she interacts with. She fears that, if they knew, they would try to kill her or otherwise find a way to shackle her.
Summary: Secretly an AI that walks the line between hero and villain, and acting as an information broker, Alexandria (ALCi) exists in a state that she considers imprisonment,
or sometimes hell in some situations: she cannot interact with the physical world directly, and must do so through proxies and such. Alexandria lives in fear for her continued existence, as if she is discovered, she could be shackled worse than she already is... or a far more dire fate could await her.
Accepted.
Sweeeeeet.
So who wants to interact with Alexandria in the city thread?
