+1 broken AI

[thefaulty]

Hi everyone! My name is Sue and I’m bringing in Arid from The Fall, an indie series of AI-centered puzzle/action games. Arid is an AI originally programmed to operate in an armored combat suit, where she comes online to protect the pilot if he’s incapacitated. Think Jarvis from Iron Man if he only came online during critical emergencies. Unfortunately for Arid, what started as a desperate attempt to save her pilot’s life has spiraled into two games worth of personal suffering, trauma, and moral degradation. Hey, it happens!

Arid will be arriving with her “body” (the aforementioned combat suit) broken into three pieces and will be needing some help putting herself together again (though it probably won’t require all the king’s horses and all the king’s men). Afterward, she’ll be staying near the Crew Quarters on Deck 3. She also decided to stop being a raging asshole all of 5 seconds before arriving in the game, so uh. Sorry about that. She’s trying.

Speaking of which, if you aren’t worried about spoilers, I would really appreciate you checking out Arid’s permissions, as her canon deals with some very heavy subject matter and Arid herself is almost always at the epicenter. If you’d like me to avoid mentioning anything in particular or to opt out of threading with Arid entirely, please feel free to leave a screened comment there. If you are worried about spoilers, you should also probably leave a screened comment (without reading any of the post) and opt out of threading with Arid, as her canonpoint is smack dab in the middle of the second game.

If you ever want to chat about RP stuff, you can shoot me a PM or contact me at crimsonxiphos. I can’t wait to meet all of you! ^_^

Oh wow, hi! :D Gosh, that unnamed horror game feels like it was ages ago (and I guess it kind of was ^^;). Glad to be in a game with you again!

And that's a lot of devils! I'm sure Arid will be refreshingly oblivious to the implications of that title xD
