peeking over . . what an interesting sight ! Why , she’s unsure if she’s ever seen someone like this before !! A little . . intimidating . .

             Surprisingly enough, High Tide wasn’t paying much particular attention to his surroundings as he stepped inside his ship, green optics squinting at the space inside and wondering what he could do next when he heard footsteps behind him, looking over his shoulder to notice a... visitor? Huh, maybe I did let my ramp down.

             “Hey there,” he calmly greeted before turning fully to look at his new guest, adjusting the watch hidden in his forearm armor. “I never saw ya before... Are ye lost?”

* VERSE. & |   HONKAI: STAR RAIL.

✧ Fullbody reference for his appearance in this verse. ✧ Alhaitham is of the Erudition Path and uses the Imaginary Element. His primary weapon is a sword that resembles a scimitar, though he also uses refraction and mirrors in his kit. These are technological constructs created through digital means. His combat style heavily resembles the trope of a spellsword in this verse, though he does not use real magic and the skills merely resemble such. He is a quick and efficient fighter, his attacks typically doing widespread damage to swiftly end an encounter. ✧ He is classified as an android and may appear similar to Sheila upon first glance. However, his AI processes are far superior and so advanced that they can barely be distinguished from humans. He was a prototype formerly created by the Aeon of Rebirth ( Deshret's equivalent ) through ancient technology. On most occasions, he only introduces himself as a S.A.P.A ( " self-sustaining autonomous processing android " ) to avoid unnecessary questions and prying minds. Any further inquiries are met with silence, claiming that this data is prohibited without clearance. The name that was given to him by his former creator was Project-[V0L4NS.] Although he does not share this information, a part of him continues to identify with the name in spite of his chosen designation, " Alhaitham. " ✧ Deshret was an Aeon of Rebirth and Wisdom. Many Amber Eras ago he passed away in his incessant pursuit of knowledge and eventually paid the price. Before his ultimate demise, he managed to imbue his project with a fragment of his essence. Like many other Aeons who have passed away, what still remained of him was assimilated into the Erudition Nous and became apart of the greater path, his name gradually being forgotten.

✧ Literally no one knows where he is from and he refuses to elaborate, typically citing that it is confidential information that will not be shared. ✧ He is a member of the Intelligentsia Guild. Although he definitely has the potential to join the Genius Society and was offered to number among their ranks in the past, he has no interest in being put on some pedestal and has been far more content in this more lowkey position. Unfortunately, this invitation has not gone unnoticed and as a result, people still tend to approach him for all sorts of matters, making him a well known member of the guild. He is considered to be highly knowledgeable and analytical. ✧ He keeps to himself and is hard to find unless he wishes to be found. Most members of the Intelligentsia Guild know not to bother him once he has left the relevant premises and he ensures not to be roped into doing extra hours unless it is necessary. Good luck finding him once he left.

✧ Highly elaborated module for linguistics and ancient script. He utilizes this skill to decipher obscure knowledge that others may be incapable of reading. As such, he has accumulated a vast breadth of knowledge and has access to information that others may not. He is not dissimilar to an archivist, though some may also consider him a knowledge broker. This hails back to the ideals of the Intelligentsia Guild of circulating knowledge like currency, albeit Alhaitham rarely shares what he knows unless it is a fair trade — and even then, he only offers a miniscule percentage of it. ✧ Similar to his main verse, his " headphones " double as an auditory processing device, though they cannot be taken off and are an inherent part of his being. Eavesdropping is exceptionally easy and they are also able to record surrounding sounds, such as ongoing conversations. ✧ His eyes are cybernetic and capable of scanning their environment to draw information from it. This also includes thermal vision, enhancing to view greater detail, being capable of discerning the components of what he is looking at, etc. These eyes resemble his original ones in design, however upon closer inspection they have noticeably mechanical parts. ✧ He shares his residence with Kaveh ( @ksharhrewar ), a famous engineer who primarily works at Herta's Space Station. Although their relationship has its ups and downs, they ultimately benefit from each other's presence and Kaveh is the only one he trusts for maintenance.

It was not something Nines had seen himself doing when he first woke up, but it payed the bills and was fun. Most of the times, if not some creep wanted to get to know him better. Men, women, human, androids, didn’t matter, they could all be creeps. And they all wanted him

Nines pulled the satin robe closer around his body before he adjusted the webcam. Today he had a private appointment. Those were rare, his rates were rather high and not everyone could afford him. And he liked it that way. 

The RK900 took his spot on the bed before he switched on the camera, enabling the chat with his customer. “Hello, my love, what can I do for you?” he asked with a sickly sweet voice while he was lounging on his bed.

                a smile made its way across their features, with a soft hum making its presence known from the back of her throat.  of course, androids didn’t need to eat to retain sustenance, unlike humans,  so this gesture was as perplexing as it was kind.   (  it’s the thought that counts, right?  )    ❛  it’s ... cute.  the design is very ... interesting.  ❜   kara would pause,  their lips would press together in a moment of contemplation.     ❛   i have a feeling alice would’ve pick this out.   i’d have to wonder if she’s my ‘secret admirer’.   ❜   she muses to herself,  before attempting to stifle a mirthful laugh.

           snatched from the hospital parking lot, josef hadn’t been able to predict where it was that the humans were taking him, nor how he was meant to escape as he was driven further and further from his designated resting zone and as his mind struggled to adapt to the situation he found himself . . . facing unknown variables and unstable humans. shoved from the back of the van and out into the open of an underground car parking lot, josef stumbled before catching his balance and surveying the area. a makeshift barrier had been created in a full circle with a crowd of humans shouting unintelligible noise over one another. there as a clatter of metal against concrete, a steel pipe thrown into the ring and as josef turned could see several synths facing him, each appeared severely damaged. ‘ fight ! ’  the humans chorused loudly and josef found himself taking half a step backwards.

If it’s so easy—If in the corner of the forest kingdom, hidden behind trees and drooping branches, there’s a room with mountains of papers, tools, and a single still body. If in that room, there are notebooks filled with research on humans and their ways, and the promise to make her as human as possible. If among those notes she’s just sitting there, slumped over on her knees with her head down, finished and ready to be rebooted with the single flick of a switch—then why hasn’t he done it? Why does it take a stranger to bring his creation to life?

There’s a sharp intake of breath, breath that doesn’t really go anywhere but that she feels she has to have nonetheless. Her first thought is that she can’t see anything, and hands scramble to tug at the blindfold that’s covering her eyes. When it comes away she jumps, because she doesn’t even have sensors to detect that someone’s there, she has to see him first. He looks young.

❝Oh—❞ She’s confused, doesn’t really know what to say because this wasn’t how opening her eyes for the first time was supposed to go. ❝My name is Kat...❞

DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN verse specifics. 

Daphne didn’t have a name before becoming a deviant, and named herself after the Greek myth.

Is an Eden Club traci, model WK400 #589.

Has lots of connections to Android sympathizers because of Eden Club, which she uses in the rebellion and after to give them an edge.

Plots with canon characters could be detective work with Connor, helping Kara escape and hide with Alice, and building the rebellion with Markus.

Her process to becoming deviant is similar to North’s, but less tragic.

The FC I will be using here is Maggie Geha.

Send👈🏽 to poke my muse (he pokes gavin directly between the eyes)

For a moment the detective eyed the young man that was standing in front of him cautiously, as he lifted his finger to... poke him? Before the finger of the Android could even come remotely close to him, Gavin snatches his hand and glared at him.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” he growled. Gavin wasn’t one who liked to be touched, especially not by strangers.

Gavin always had been a night owl but since he had been turned into an android after that horrible accident he couldn’t even think about sleep. During the night he walked around town, trying to free his mind. It never worked.

Tonight was particularly bad, his mind went places and the more often messages popped up on his HUD the more stressed out he got. “Fuck off, fuck off fuck off!!” he hissed between his teeth and tried to swipe at the messages in front of his eyes, to no avail. 

His system warned him but there was nothing he could do. The words ‘Shut down imminent’ showed up and he knew he had overdone it “PHCK!” he cursed a last time and everything went black, his body frozen mid movement

The Independent on Beatie Wolfe's Montagu Square #tbt

Beatie Wolfe interview: Musician explains why she's selling new album Montagu Square on a shirt, but not in record shops

John Walsh meets a pioneering songwriter Beatie Wolfe

Montagu Square, the second album by the Anglo-American singer-songwriter Beatie Wolfe, is out this week, but you won’t find it on the shelves in HMV. You can download it from iTunes, Amazon and Google Play, you can buy a lyric book with a CD insert from her website, and you can get the tracks on a deck of “intelligent” cards provided you’ve got an Android phone on which to play them. Oh, and it’s also available as a shirt.

Ms Wolfe, 27, takes an unusual approach to the dissemination of music. Though her songs of love, yearning and regret are bouncily melodic in a nicely old-fashioned, verse-and-chorus way, and her inspirations are 20th-century – Beatles, Nina Simone, Otis Redding – her productions are crazily techno-futuristic. Her first album, 8ight, for example, was available as a 3D interactive album mobile app, available on iPhone. 

“People ask why I’m so technically innovative, but I don’t think I am,” the elfin Wolfe told me when we met, “I just have a fondness for bringing together things that enhance each other.”

Her new album’s titular address is a rock’n’ roll shrine. Ringo Starr leased the ground floor of No 34 Montagu Square in 1965, when The Beatles were two years into their world-conquering career, and sub-let it to Paul McCartney, who wrote “Eleanor Rigby” there. When Paul left, Ringo sub-let it to Jimi Hendrix who wrote “The Wind Cries Mary” there – but he and his manager, Chas Chandler, were kicked out for painting the walls black, while tripping. In 1968, John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved in, after Lennon had split from his family home. Remember the couple’s naked bottoms on the cover of the Two Virgins album? They were photographed at No 34. As I say: a shrine. 

Wolfe decided to record a live single at the flat after meeting its owner, David Mason, who runs Anthony Sinclair, the Mayfair tailors who supplied James Bond’s suits in the early 007 films: another Sixties connection. In a further elaboration, Wolfe linked up with a textile label called Beatwoven who use audio technology to transfer sound patterns to textiles. 

Last month, veteran music hacks and young whippersnappers from Wired and BBC6 stood in Mason’s flat, surrounded by photos of Lennon, McCartney and Hendrix, and watched Ms Wolfe record her gorgeous new single, “Take Me Home”, and have it transferred sonically on to a fabric that will become a shirt, sold by Mason to gentlemen clients, and a silk gown worn by Wolfe herself.  “Everything worked together that night,” she recalled. “The live recording, the history of the room, the collective memories of everyone there, the clapping – it’s all in the geometrical pattern that’s being woven in silk.” 

She grew up in London surrounded by counterculture luminaries. Her father, Rick Watson, an antiquarian bookseller from Portland, Oregon, moved to California and, through his contacts with Lawrence Ferlinghetti and the Beat poets, befriended the Rolling Stones. “I found out about the Stones connection only a few years ago,” says Wolfe. “I thought my father was just a dry old bookseller, but ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ came on the car radio one day and he said, ‘There’s a line about me in this song.’ It was, ‘And I laid traps for troubadours/ To get killed before they reached Bombay.’ When Dad and Chris Jagger tagged along with the Stones in India, the band played pranks on them because they were annoying whimsical poets.” Her mother, Virginia Boston, was a journalist, who co-wrote a study of punk with Danny Baker. 

It wasn’t surprising that Wolfe embraced music precociously early. She wrote her first song, the sapphically titled “You Can’t Get Away from Me, Girl,” at eight. At 15, she sang in a grunge band called Aurum. “Very dark, very angsty stuff, with titles like ‘Troubled,’ ‘Misery,’ ‘Asylum’ and ‘Let it Boil’ – I remember thinking, ‘When I’m older, will I look back and think this was my best contribution to the world?’” 

Studying English at Goldsmiths College, London, she wrote her third-year dissertation on the poetry of Leonard Cohen, in the teeth of teacherly dispproval. It was posted online, where it came to the attention of Cohen’s agent, Robert Cory. With his encouragement, Wolfe set the singer’s poem “A Thousand Kisses Deep” to music; she’s still waiting for Cohen’s reaction, but her dearest wish is to open for the Montreal Miserablist on his next tour. 

A striking woman with a confident guitar style and a voice that can carry off husky intros and belting climaxes, she doesn’t appear much on the summer festival circuit. Why not? “I like festivals provided you can have control of the sound, that you can feel a sense of intimacy with the audience, and that the lyrics can be heard. They’re fundamental to me. I don’t want the words to be lost in the white noise.” 

What does she most want to happen to her? A No 1 single? “I don’t care about that stuff,” she says pertly. “I’ve always wanted to make music for generations to come, to leave behind a great catalogue. And on the entrepreneurial side, to open people’s eyes to what music can do.”
