0 · 256 views · located in The Rud'bul System

a character in “A Few Credits More”, originally authored by Gamer_Templar, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Orion



Image



Full Name
Orion

Race
Artificial construct

Gender
Male programming

Age
Approximately three years since construction

Occupation
Mercenary



Appearance
At first glance, Orion appears to be some customised variant of a security mech. At six and a half feet tall, the chassis was clearly designed to be physically imposing. The one oddity that would mark him out among a crowd of other machines is the red sash he wears around his torso.



Personality
Orion is, for the most part, quiet and methodical in his actions. As a sentient AI he is indeed able to experience and express emotion to some degree, often in the form of wry remarks. Contrary to his original purpose as a combat robot, Orion is somewhat reluctant to resort to violence, but he will show no mercy in the face of those who would seek to rob him of his freedom.



Gear
Security robots, even the mediocre ones, are fitted with a decent amount of armour plating to withstand enemy fire. Orion also has a built-in energy shield to absorb additional damage, and his left arm is capable of transforming into a particle cannon for engaging armoured targets at range.

Skills
Within Orion's programming lies a comprehensive set of combat subroutines, more in line with something you'd expect to find operating in the military than private use. While not having the tools available to a medical unit, he does have a passable knowledge of first aid too.



History
Orion had originally been built as one of a batch of prototype military robots outfitted with advanced artificial intelligence. Despite being practically equal to an organic in terms of cognition, his existence was a monotonous one, filled with so many tests and simulations punctuated by the blank gaps when being put back into storage. Being referred to as an object for so long grated on his nerves so.

When these tests were complete and the mechs ready for live demonstrations, they were placed into a shutdown state once more and loaded onto a transport vessel to be shipped out. However, when Orion was switched back on he was greeted by the sight of a lone human woman who offered him freedom, a job, and even a name of his own. How could anyone refuse an offer like that?



So begins...

Orion left the engineering bay of Jenna's ship, the Blackbird, making his way back to the bridge to see that the woman herself was still napping in her seat. The droid would have frowned at the sight were it physically possible, but he simply opted for making sounds as if he was clearing his throat until his partner awoke.

"Wha...? Oh, hey Ry," the hacker said blearily, letting out a yawn. "What's up? Did anyone answer our ad yet?"

"No, they did not," Orion responded tersely. "We cannot sit here in drydock forever; we need to find some work."

"Suuuuure, lemme just punch in coordinates to the next system. Oh wait, we can't do that because until the bridge is back up we have no choice but to sit around on our arses and wait for someone to bite. And they will. In a system with a political climate like this, there's bound to be some juicy contracts flying around. Just give it time."

As if on cue, the computer let out a happy-sounding chirp. An email. Jenna didn't hesitate to read through it, with Orion looking over her shoulder to get a glimpse of the details. Something about looking for a team of operatives for a demolition job of some kind. "Hmm... not usually our thing, but what the hell. We need the cash, and ten thousand is good money. I can also put in a call to our mutual friend; this looks right up her alley."

After writing a brief reply accepting the job offer, along with the possible addition of an extra hand, Jenna set about making a call to said friend to offer them a chance to make some money...
