This is the first is a short line of Assistant Androids that are being designed and constructed by NovaCorp. Any feedback (IC and OOC will be apreciated, although can we try and keep the criticism helpfull? Also if someone has covered a point, don't post about it, I don't like how this sort of post get's too long and makes people not want to buy it. If you want tp give me your point of view, but don't think it's necesary to post, please PM me or YIM me).
Robotic Assistant Series
Personal assistant: 7,500ks
This android was created by NovaCorp to create a perfect secretary and personal assistant, obedient, polite and very efficient, while maintaining the form of humans, and not wasting money on strength and durability that wouldn't be needed. As such the Personal assistant android was created. Standing 5'8'', and with an average body size the personal assistant is a sleek looking tool, a chrome coating over it's steel body. It comes in a male, female or androgynous physical form. It uses synthetic muscles of a strength rivalling that of humans, utilising a poor quality smart material (a material that contracts when an electric current is flowed through it) and can be sprained or damaged like a normal muscle. The steel coating is far from complete, and most of the body shows the inner workings of the muscles, which have a completion similar to a smoother version of human muscles, however the head and torso is made without any direct entrance to the centre, meaning you can't deactivate it simply by fiddling around with the torso. The head has two camera type eyes, covered with a black glass lens. In the throat is a transmitter which the android uses to talk, and there are sound receivers where the ears would be and also in the hands. The eyes are slightly better than humans, and can see into the infrared spectrum. The sound receivers are only slightly more sensitive than humans. Both the eyes and the ears can record their sensations. The fingers are sensitive to touch, and the whole body can sense vibrations in its body, giving it a sense of touch similar to that of a humans. For an additional 750ks, the personal assistant can be fitted with an holographic projector, housed over the surface of the ‘skin' and in the torso, which can only project one form, which is chosen at purchase, but can be updated at a later point. The projector creates a good enough image to fool the eye at first glance, but with concentration you can see beneath it.
The android stands out better in melee due to the steel nature of its body, but a blade to its muscles short-circuits the arm. Weapons such as projectiles or energy weapons effect Personal Assistants almost as badly as they effect a normal human, the steel torso not giving much protection. The personal assistant can however wear armour like a normal human, and carry conventional weapon. Work is being done on an interface that would allow them to use power armour.
The personal assistant has a personality that is largely directed by the buyer, or can come in the default mode. This is basically cold and efficient personality, but cheerful and attentive is also popular. Other wise the personality can be like anything the buyer wants, or it can buy an additional feature (200 ks) which means that the android can develop its own personality. It has a mind like a computer, but has a reasoning ability rivalling, but not exceeding, that of a human. It has a perfect memory and increased analytical ability, but that is it. Its grasp of social situations is something which is not great, but can get better as the personal assistant learns. The usual functions of the android are to take care of its charge, make sure everything is in order, take letters dictated, and do everything that a personal assistant and secretary could do. It also makes a decent office worker.
Every day the Personal Assistant must spend six hours with a specialised cot with a cooler sized charger beneath it connected to the android by a cable which replenishes its batteries. For those that don't want to purchase the system, it can link itself to a power source using a specialised power conduit, but this is not as efficient, the android needs to recharge for 6 hours, and does not run at top efficiency.
