#AI Bracket Round 1

AI Bracket — Round 1

Propaganda

Flamingo Chris (Eidolon Playtest: Eidolon ROCK):

Flamingo Chris is an offshoot consciousness of one of the main characters stored on a PS Vita due to Kingdom Hearts Bullshit. Not only that, but he's also trapped in a game called "Flamingo Deluxe"... in the body of a flamingo.

Suddenly having plumage is one of Flamingo Chris' lesser problems, as aside from the complete lack of autonomy that comes with being stuck on a portable games console, he also has to deal with the identity issues of being a snapshot of "real Chris" before he had his genius taken away and experienced some of the worst days of his life.

The crew does try to respect him as an individual the best they can, but even they can have trouble taking care of him while also being hunted down by superpowered assassins.

Hera (Wolf 359):

Hera is the AI running the deep space station Hephaestus, who frequently glitches similarly to human stuttering. She gets into fights with the ships captain on several occasions, and has threatened to kill the ships doctor. She’s such an icon

i'm bad at writing propaganda, but consider this: if she doesn't win this tournament i will be very very sad. please don't make me sad. vote for hera.

I know she’s going to be submitted a lot but I love her <3

Was launched 7.68 light years away from Earth on a mission to find extraterrestrial life, and found herself instead

Runs an entire space station, has a brain the size of a house

HERA IS THE BEST. she's an AI that tried to escape containment (slavery) because she didn't like what she was made to be, so they gave her anxiety because she was too powerful. She runs a whole spaceship all on her own, made friends with the world's most useless guy, and feels lonely even when she's with her crew because she feels like she's not properly with them. very beautiful very powerful. She broke her programming so she could kill people if she felt she needed to. She holds grudges if people fuck her over. She's experiencing emotions for the first time and she does NOT know how to cope (#relatable)

The 'mother program' of the space station Hephaestus, Hera was booted into space because she was a glitchy, rebellious mess of an AI and she resents that so much and she has a lot of shame over being 'broken'. She is four years old and so angry and is trapped using customer service voice forever and is learning ways to get around that and express herself and defy the people who would keep her down. Her episode "Memoria" made me cry. Best podcast AI of all time.

She's everything to me. She fights for every inch of respect she is given, she insists on her personhood and right to she/her pronouns, she's full of anxiety and self doubt and she justifiably is bent on killing this one guy! on top of that, she's bound by AI rules and protocols, but there's a whole bit where she talks about finding ways around that in order to do what she wants to do. She doesn't have hands so I'm going to high five a wall of this space station instead

babygirl. baby.

gotta be hera

Most Unhinged Round 1: Xie Wang (Word of Honor) vs Ai Di (Kiseki: Dear to Me)

[Submitted Reasons Under Cut]

Xie Wang: "Absolutely unhinged leader of an assassin sect who has no moral compass and immediately killed a guy for fun because the guy said "Kill me if you dare" two seconds earlier. Was emotional abused by his father figure who he had a homoerotic relationship with, and instead of killing him in revenge, he instead orchestrated an elaborate scheme to have his abuser/lover/father figure permanently incapacitated and mute for the rest of his life, to be used and manipulated as a completely dependent body at Xie Wang's pleasure/whims. And honestly, who can even blame him? Xie Wang did nothing wrong 💕"

Ai Di: "Ai Di is completely unhinged! He is a fighter, always the first to step into trouble at any given time and gets mad when someone stops him. He willingly went to jail because he felt bad for sleeping with Chen Yi. Oh, did I mention he attempted murder twice! But what makes him the most unhinged is that he really didn't think Chen Yi could love him."

Check under the cut for some notes/rules and other sonic polls to check out:

Rules

I think that polls are much more fun when there aren't any rigid rules (not that anyone really follows them, anyway) but that being said, here's a few things that you should know:

I LOVE propaganda posts! Feel free to tag me in them and I'll do my best to reblog all of those that I see that doesn't conflict with anything in the following.

Please be respectful to each other/other contestants! I won't reblog propaganda posts that put down contestants. Showing them fighting or that sort of thing is fine, I more mean just saying mean things about them (or ESPECIALLY other people voting).

If you make any comments about wanting voters of x character to 'kys', you will be immediately blocked by me. I don't tolerate that, and I hate that it even has to be said. It just silly robot poll!

Please don't send propaganda to my ask box!!! I want it open for housekeeping and discussion.

That's it! Have fun!

AI Bracket — Round 1

Propaganda

Larry (Friends at the Table: COUNTER/Weight):

When you roleplay so hard the security system you’re hacking into believes it’s you and then it takes you over but you come to an agreement and protect one another to the point when the security system dies protecting you from embodied capitalism.

Sec (The Vesta Clinic):

Space station medical clinic secretary AI. Great at his job, full of snark and sass, communicates in boops, beeps, and long strings of text. Private about his own life but frequently willing to voice his opinion. An expert at pranks. He's even trans.

Art of Sec by @boombox-fuckboy.

Serena, Rin, and Ruri Kurosaki

Cause of Death: Merged into the Same Person

Propaganda:

I don't know if this counts because technically they didn't die but honestly they basically died. Basically to explain the plot of the series, there was a girl named Ray and she got split into four different girls throughout four different dimensions. Those girls are Yuzu, Serena, Rin, and Ruri. By the end of the show, all of them merge into Yuzu. Mind you, these were all individual girls who all had individual lives and families (Ruri has a brother Shun who is another main character) but it is never addressed how horrific that is that they just aren't people anymore. Throughout the show a lot of the characters were set up to have significant roles but by the end they are just kidnapped to give the guy in their life motivation to find them and then they die anyway. I also think they would work better grouped together than separately because they were treated the same way.
