Main Character Cust Support

So, this grew out of a discussion that @f0xywrites, me, and a third party who wishes to remain anonymous, had on the AUgust Writing Challenge fanfic server.

One of us said "I think I've wrecked my character beyond all repair. Maybe I should return him for a refund." And that sparked an idea--which rapidly turned into this!

So here's Episode One of the "Character Support Chronicles". Let us know if you enjoy it!

Rating: Gen; Words: 1581

TW: very passing mentions of rape and childhood traumas

Episode One:

Marge smiled politely at the angry author in front of her station. “I am sorry, sir, but this character clearly does not meet the standards of our return policy.” She pointed at the large sign on the wall behind all of the desk agents.

Main Characters must be returned in their original condition. 

No cash refunds. MCs may only be exchanged for characters of similar age and gender or credit toward future characters. 

No returns after the character has appeared in an uploaded fic.

Excessive returns by authors may revoke your rights to future credit.

Marge indicated the character in front of her, still enclosed in her tiny shimmering orb, the blues, greens, and pinks swirling about her like a translucent abalone shell. “She appears in 3D. Clearly she’s been featured in a work that has been made available to the public. All of our MCs are released in 2D until uploaded.”

“I don’t care!” The author fumed. “She doesn't trust men at all–not even me!”

Marge picked up her scanner and aimed it at the MC’s barcode. She studied the profile. “Sir, you specifically said you wanted her for a Rape and Revenge storyline–”

“But–” he pointed a finger in her face. At that moment her desk phone rang. “One moment, sir,” she said, before picking it up.

“Customer Service, this is Marge, how may I help you?”

“Yes, I’d like to make a complaint. I ordered a fully fleshed out Main Character–Roger B, and I was writing him today and this guy has no hobbies–and no friends! This is NOT what I had in mind when I placed this order!”

“I’m so sorry to hear that you’re dissatisfied, ma’am. May I call you ma’am? Do you have your order number or character barcode?” Marge listened, then pulled up the character specs. “Thank you, I have your information in front of me. It appears the character is still unused. If you would like, we can send a replacement, one that functions a bit better and is more on the social side. Great, I’ll get that out to you shortly. Would you prefer a smaller, more intimate friend group or a larger group with fewer close connections?  Thank you, it was my pleasure to assist you, we just ask that you be more specific in your order for next time. Hope that you enjoy the experience!"

With an internal sigh, Marge turned back to Mr. Angry. She held up a hand warningly. “I absolutely can not process this as a return. However I can give you a one time free upgrade of “Character Undergoes Intensive Therapy” that may resolve some of the issues you’re having with her.”

He thought it over. “Will she be able to find true love?”

Marge wasn’t about to over promise. “With a man? I can not guarantee that, sir, no.”

“That’s okay,” he said. “She can like anybody she wants. I just want her to have a family.”

Marge smiled. Maybe Mr. Angry wasn’t so bad after all.

*****

“Customer Service, this is Bill, how may I help you?”

"Yeah, I ordered a character with a messed up childhood, and I'm not satisfied." 

"I'm sorry to hear that, sir. If your character is too well-adjusted, we could have our Freak Squad take a look at him or her..." 

"No, that's not what I meant--this character--damn--I wanted some Hurt/Comfort, but way too much fucked up shit has happened to this guy!"

“I am very sorry to hear that, sir, but retrofitting like that is simply not something our company does. You’ll be much happier taking your Character for some after-market work at Fluff Corp. May I transfer you to them now?”

“I guess if that’s my best option, then fine.”

“And, sir, if I may make a suggestion? So that Fluff Corp knows what you’re after, you might try “difficult” instead of “messed up” when placing your childhood order. Thank you, please hold the line…”

*****

“Hello this is Fluff Corp, where your teeth may rot but your stories never will! My name is Keiko. How may I help you today?”

“Yeah, I’m Ed. I got a fucked up character.”

“Oh, I see! Sorry to hear that, Ed. May I suggest one of our specialist departments? I could get you over to someone in Soulmates for a ‘Love Heals’ story arc, or Found Family is always so popular for that–but if you really need a total reboot I can recommend our FixIt Fic hotline.”

Keiko felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to see her coworker Abdul who was just coming back from break. He whispered, “Another fucked up?”

She covered the mouthpiece of her phone and nodded. “Another one. Came in on the aftermarket number so it’s not one of our Originals.”

Brenda from PWP was passing by and overheard them. “What the hell are they doing over at Plots, Inc these days? Some of these cases are brutal.”

“Are you still there?” Ed’s voice resonated from the headset in Keiko’s hand.

“Oh, I beg your pardon, Ed, yes, I’m here,” Keiko said, shrugging at Brenda and Abdul. As she resumed her call, she heard Brenda whisper to him, “I had a guy the other day who couldn’t figure out why his MC kept safewording in a scene. Turns out Plots gave him claustrophobia from being locked in the closet as a child and then happily released him in a sub role with no TWs!”

Abdul was horrified. “That’s just irresponsible.”

Meanwhile, Ed was growing insistent. “I just want the fastest, most effective route.”

Keiko studied the profile he had uploaded to her tablet, and accessed the Guilty Conscience panel. Nothing. She tried Commitment Issues next, then Addiction. Still nothing. That narrowed it down a great deal. Feeling confident now, she brought up Unresolved Trauma.

“Bingo,” she said. 

“Bingo?” Ed asked, puzzled.

“I’ve located the problem.” She grabbed her stylus and sketched out a quick spider diagram. “Are you sure you want fastest and most effective? Just so you are aware, that may involve an upcharge and perhaps memory loss by your MC.”

“And don’t forget, there can be severe aftereffects later if your character experiences a triggering event,” Abdul piped up from behind her. Keiko opened her mouth to pass that along but apparently Ed had heard him.

“I’m sure. I need this character ready to go as soon as possible! The idea train hasn’t exactly been kind lately. I can’t miss it when it decides to show up!”

“Understood. I’m going to conference in someone from Time Travel. We will drone drop a “childhood best friend’ and a “deus ex machina by a trusted adult” at appropriate points in your character’s development. That should get them out of the headspace they’re currently stuck in. I’m still going to note your file, though, because a healthy dose of Found Family or Voyage of Self Discovery is strongly recommended in these cases.”

“Noted,” Ed said.

“And please update the character profile with any applicable trigger warnings so that when our Butterfly Effect department runs the simulation to approve the Time Travel fix, they don’t overlook any complicating variables.”

“I’ll do that right now. How long will this all take?”

Keiko checked her phone. The green light was on, indicating Time Travel had an operator available. “I’m conferencing them in right now, and assuming all goes well, you should be ready to write in around 45 minutes,” she estimated.

“Fantastic!” Ed enthused. “When we’re done here, do you have a supervisor I can talk to about your superior help today?”

Keiko felt herself blushing. “That’s very kind of you, Ed, now I’m still on the line but let me welcome Cynthia to the conversation…”

*****

Keiko and Abdul were exhausted at the end of their shift. Keiko just put her head down on the desk and contemplated going to sleep right there. Abdul pulled out a few sticks of gum. He’d recently quit smoking and the second he was finished with the phones he would start chewing.

“Guys! Guys! Guys!” Keiko heard Brenda’s voice. Reluctantly she sat up. The other woman was hurrying over.

“You guys will never believe what’s been going on over at Plots, Inc! Their new VP of Character Development came from Angst and Self-Loathing. Before that she was over SickFics-”

“Oh my God–no wonder!” Keiko couldn’t believe it. 

“Yep, classic Hurt Without Comfort/Whump Is My Life type! And she’s overseeing all their new main characters!”

Abdul groaned. “Wonderful. Plots, Inc is now the Angst No Comfort Bureau. And you know who is going to get all the fallout from this, right?”

Keiko nodded. “They’d better get it together or we’re going to be spending all our work hours trying to bring everybody’s Dead Doves back to life.”

“I need a vacation,” Abdul muttered. He looked hopefully over at Brenda. “Do you think they might need someone in Pillow Fights or Cuddle Piles for a few weeks?”

Brenda snorted. “Not a chance, man.” She bit her lip and thought it over. “You know, though, they were wanting someone to shadow an exec over in Slice of Life next quarter. Want me to talk to somebody for you?

Abdul snapped his gum. “Yes please. I’ll go back to smoking if I have to play MC therapist all day every day.”

Brenda turned to Keiko. “How about you?”

Keiko smiled, remembering Ed and his character. “Nah, I’m good,” she said. “I love what I do.”

Asset Tracking Systems: Revolutionizing Business Efficiency and Accountability

In today’s competitive business environment, managing resources efficiently is crucial to staying ahead. Companies across industries—whether it’s a small business or a global corporation—are constantly seeking ways to streamline operations and improve the accuracy of their asset management processes. Asset tracking systems are at the forefront of these efforts, providing businesses with a powerful solution to keep track of valuable resources.

An asset tracking system utilizes a blend of technology to monitor the location, condition, and utilization of physical assets. From tools and equipment to vehicles and IT infrastructure, the goal of asset tracking is to ensure that businesses know where their assets are, how they’re being used, and when they need maintenance or replacement.

This blog explores the ins and outs of asset tracking systems, their benefits, and how they are transforming how companies manage their resources.

What Is an Asset Tracking System?

An asset tracking system is a technology solution designed to help businesses monitor and manage physical assets, often in real-time. The system typically consists of tags or labels placed on assets, scanning devices (such as barcodes or RFID), and a software platform that compiles and analyzes the data.

The system works by providing detailed visibility into the asset’s location, condition, and usage history. Whether you’re tracking tools in a warehouse, office equipment, or machinery on a construction site, these systems help ensure your assets are being optimally utilized and not misplaced or underused.

How Asset Tracking Systems Work

At the heart of asset tracking systems is the technology used to tag and track assets. Let’s break down the main components:

1. Tagging and Labeling Assets

The first step in asset tracking is assigning a unique identifier to each asset. This identifier can be a QR code, barcode, or RFID tag. These tags are attached to the assets and serve as their "ID card."

Barcodes are scanned manually using a handheld scanner. Barcodes are best suited for stationary assets, and they require direct line-of-sight to be scanned.

RFID tags are more advanced and allow for automatic and remote scanning. RFID is great for tracking high-value or high-mobility assets. It doesn’t require direct line-of-sight and can scan multiple items at once.

QR codes, a form of 2D barcodes, can also be scanned using mobile devices, making them more versatile in terms of access and use.

2. Tracking the Assets

Once an asset is tagged, it is tracked using various technologies, including RFID readers, GPS devices, and mobile applications.

RFID readers and scanners capture information from the tags, while GPS tracking devices provide real-time location updates for mobile assets, such as vehicles and equipment.

For stationary items, tracking systems may rely on manual scans when assets are moved or checked.

3. Software Integration and Data Management

The data collected by the RFID readers, GPS devices, and barcode scanners is sent to an asset management platform. This platform stores all the information related to the assets, including location, usage, maintenance schedules, and more.

The software often integrates with existing business management systems (like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Inventory Management Software) to ensure a seamless flow of data across departments.

It also provides advanced features like real-time tracking, data analysis, alerts, and reporting, which allow businesses to make informed decisions about asset allocation, maintenance, and purchases.

The Benefits of Asset Tracking Systems

Implementing an asset tracking system brings several key advantages to businesses, regardless of size or industry. Here’s why an asset tracking system is a game-changer:

1. Enhanced Accuracy and Visibility

One of the primary challenges of traditional asset management is the risk of human error. Manual tracking methods—like spreadsheets or physical logs—are prone to mistakes, leading to inaccurate asset records.

An automated asset tracking system ensures accuracy by providing real-time updates on asset status and location. This visibility allows businesses to make data-driven decisions on resource allocation and maintenance, reducing errors and improving overall operations.

2. Improved Security and Theft Prevention

Asset theft and misplacement can be costly for businesses, especially in industries that rely on high-value or mobile assets. An asset tracking system provides real-time alerts when an asset is moved outside a designated area or is no longer where it should be.

Geofencing technology, a feature of many asset tracking systems, allows companies to define virtual boundaries. When an asset enters or exits this boundary, the system triggers an alert, reducing the risk of theft and loss.

3. Cost Savings and Resource Optimization

Many businesses are unaware of how underutilized their assets are. By tracking the usage patterns of assets, businesses can determine which ones are being overused or underused, allowing them to reallocate resources more effectively.

This optimization reduces the need for purchasing additional assets or renting equipment unnecessarily, saving businesses money in the long run.

Furthermore, knowing when assets need maintenance or replacement helps prevent costly repairs or downtime, which can disrupt operations and incur additional expenses.

4. Improved Maintenance and Longevity of Assets

Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of assets and preventing unexpected breakdowns. An asset tracking system can track the age, usage, and maintenance history of each asset, triggering automated alerts when maintenance is due.

This ensures that assets are serviced on time, reducing the risk of unexpected failures and increasing their lifespan.

5. Streamlined Compliance and Reporting

For many industries, asset tracking is not just a best practice—it’s a requirement. In industries like healthcare, construction, and manufacturing, strict regulatory requirements dictate how assets must be maintained and tracked.

An asset tracking system makes it easy to keep accurate records of asset movements and maintenance, simplifying compliance with industry regulations. Additionally, the system generates detailed reports that can be used for audits, helping companies stay compliant with minimal effort.

Applications of Asset Tracking Systems

Asset tracking systems have a wide range of applications across industries. Below are some examples of how different sectors benefit from asset tracking:

1. Healthcare

In hospitals and healthcare facilities, tracking medical equipment is essential for providing efficient care. Asset tracking systems ensure that critical devices, such as wheelchairs, infusion pumps, and diagnostic tools, are easy to locate when needed. Additionally, these systems help track maintenance schedules for sensitive medical equipment, ensuring it remains in working order.

2. Construction

Construction companies often operate with a wide variety of equipment and machinery spread across different job sites. Asset tracking systems provide visibility into the location and status of tools, vehicles, and heavy machinery, ensuring they are used effectively and not lost or stolen.

GPS tracking is particularly useful for monitoring large equipment across multiple sites, improving logistics, and reducing downtime.

3. Logistics and Supply Chain

In the logistics industry, asset tracking helps businesses manage their fleet of vehicles, containers, and inventory in real time. Companies can track the movement of goods, monitor the performance of delivery vehicles, and ensure that assets are properly maintained.

This level of oversight boosts operational efficiency and improves customer satisfaction by providing accurate delivery timelines.

4. Retail

Retailers use asset tracking systems to manage their inventory and stock levels. By tagging products and stock with barcodes or RFID tags, businesses can automate inventory counts and minimize human error.

The system also allows for better stock replenishment, ensuring that high-demand items are always available for customers, reducing lost sales due to out-of-stock situations.

Conclusion: The Future of Asset Management

Asset tracking systems are more than just a tool—they’re a transformative technology that helps businesses optimize their resources, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs. As industries continue to evolve and businesses become increasingly data-driven, having a system in place to manage and track assets is essential for staying competitive.

By providing real-time visibility, improving asset security, and ensuring assets are maintained properly, these systems empower businesses to make smarter, more informed decisions. Whether you’re in healthcare, logistics, construction, or retail, an asset tracking system is a must-have solution that pays dividends in the form of reduced costs, improved productivity, and long-term asset durability.

In the ever-changing landscape of modern business, an investment in an asset tracking system is an investment in the future success of your organization.

Barcode Decoding Tools: Some USB cameras can be paired with barcode-decoding software, which automatically reads and records barcode data, making the entire process faster and more efficient.

5. Implement automation for consistent scanning.

If your application allows for a fixed camera setup, you can automate barcode scanning to reduce manual handling. Automated setups are beneficial in industrial and warehouse environments where high-volume scanning is required.

Fixed-Mount Scanning: Install the USB camera at a fixed position and let conveyor systems bring the items into view. This ensures that each item is scanned without requiring human intervention.

Motion Detection and Triggers: Some USB cameras come with motion detection, which can trigger the camera to scan as soon as an item is in view, saving time and reducing errors.

6. Regularly Test and Maintain the USB Camera

Like any technology, USB cameras benefit from regular testing and maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Check the following regularly:

Clean the Lens: Dust or smudges on the camera lens can interfere with barcode clarity, so clean it frequently.

Firmware Updates: Check for firmware updates from the camera manufacturer, as these can improve functionality and compatibility with barcode-reading software.

Calibration Checks: Periodically check and recalibrate focus and exposure settings to ensure the camera continues to perform as expected.

Benefits of Optimizing Barcode Reading with USB Cameras

By implementing these optimizations, you can significantly improve your barcode reading performance, leading to a range of benefits:

Reduced Errors: Accurate scans mean fewer errors in data entry, which helps keep inventory and sales data accurate.
