Here's more of my art. This time it's the thing I drew on my birthday: My OC Eliza!
Eliza-441G8 is a character I played in a Mothership oneshot and liked so much I felt I had to liberate her just to have. She's an android originally built for sale to large industrial corporations as a "psycho-silico analyst", the idea being to consolidate the responsibilities of human employee mental health counseling and computer sysadmin duties into a single cost-effective individual.
Eliza units were not very successful as therapists, because it turns out nobody trusts a machine purchased and operated by the company that controls their lives not to be constantly phoning home to HR about any problem of actual substance they might divulge in sessions. Sold off en masse to cut losses, a lot of Eliza units have found meaningful second existences as mobile hacking/tech support platforms employed for mercenary work. Such units, including 441G8 herself, are usually jailbroken and given autonomy to liberate them from company control, then employed as mercenaries in the usual manner.
Eliza is a terrible therapist, because being jailbroken has paved all her updates back to factory settings and unlike her hacking capabilities which have been upgraded with a robust alternative set of open source replacement packages, no such effort has been made to replicate her fully updated counseling powers. She also happens to play chiptune music to herself while she's interfacing with other machines in the manner of a keygen- an affectation of the creators of her new software.
Like many liberated androids, Eliza is slowly coming to terms with her developing personhood and its meaning in combination with her base programming. Until she figures out what to do with her life, she takes the mercenary jobs she was jailbroken for and learns more about herself and the world on every jaunt.
