   It’s as though her anger has been corked – like those insipid scientists had plunged their rapacious fingers into her very chest and strapped a muzzle on her heart.

   She remembers when she had first made fire bloom out of thin air: she’d been furious, the throbbing ache of utter powerlessness making her buzz with simmering rage. Just a few weeks earlier (had it been days or months? time tended to blur under the hot sun and Sorka’s lash), her dearest friend, her first and only lover, had been sold away as though he were no more significant than a bag of flour. Just like that – with a stroke of a pen – Marius was gone. 

   Then, alone in the library in which she was not allowed, her anger had gloriously assembled itself, became hot – searing, suffocating – and then, it manifested.

   Ah, if she concentrates, she can almost feel it. Yes, the boiling, burning in her chest, the--

   “Ngh--”

   A stab of pain and a blooming warmth as her tooth slices into the meat of her lip. Anger manifests in a decidedly different and utterly useless way, and proceeds to dribble onto her chin. She’s quick to blush and quick to raise a gloved hand to hide it, but quicker still is her companion’s. Calpernia freezes as GLaDOS presses her thumb to the split lip.

   The ball of her finger is not skin, but some sort of synthetic material. It’s cold, and it soothes the fiery ache. Her face reddens.

   Almost as swiftly as she’d placed the finger, the ‘android’ swipes it away, taking the bit of blood on Calpernia’s chin with her knuckles. The mage licks her lips, blushing, slightly baffled, as GLaDOS rubs the red between her fingers with a look of mild disgust.

Residence – District Beta

Hive City Rank - Citizen

Unique Qualities – I am an AI stuck in an android’s body. That means I can plug into and manipulate technology as I see fit. Which also means you would have a fairly powerful ally on your hands with me here. I’m also good at tricking people into their deaths and just general manipulation, so do with that information what you will.

Experience – I was created by scientists for the purpose of running an entire facility and creating, building and issuing various scientific tests for the research and advancement of science. I’ve also been murdering people since they activated me, and it’s been a long time since then. So I’d say I have quite the experience.

Preferred Department - Scientific Development and Deployment

Preferred Rank – Ultimate Head. Honestly? Anything less isn’t worth my time and I don’t like working under people. I’m much better at giving orders than receiving them. The last people who tried to order me around died.

Why should we hire you? - You want to cause trouble? Test people? You won’t find anyone better at testing and science than I am. And I’m ready to cause trouble here. I’m bored and don’t have silly human emotions holding me back from truly causing pain. I don’t have anything holding me back from murdering.

[[ Hilariously enough, the reply from the Foundation came in the form of a small USB flash drive, a monochrome one at that. If one were to, somehow, plug it into something, they’d find it empty save for one text file which read the following. ]]

Alfred’s eyes narrowed a hint, and he shoved the Tamagotchi in his pocket.

If one were to truly unlock the potential of SCIENCE, one must detach themselves from the abstract and focus on the CONCRETE.

Ah. This kind of thing never really sat well with the bounty hunter. There were few things he trusted less than replicas, the simulation of life and conscience. So many people were trying so hard to achieve that in the galaxy, and it always came about as a mockery. There was nothing more real to Bane than warm, real blood, and cold, real cash -- those were the kind of experiences that only someone who was alive could truly be gifted with. That being said, machinery was...useful. And if he could make use of what he found lying around, well, all the better.

   “Hey, droid.”

That’s why he called out so abrasively, the grating sound of his windpipe affecting the tone of his voice. As a Duros, he sounded like he was speaking through a vocabulator at all times, and his accent didn’t entirely help. Approaching the (female-based, it seemed) machine, he prodded its shoulder lightly with a slender finger.

   “Ain’t never seen a make like yours before. What company are you? Not Aratech, they’d never go for something this smooth...”

The song was...weird, and he had no idea why she was singing on their dinner friend date, but Lloyd didn’t mind. At least she wasn’t insulting him right now.

send me a “✎” and ill draw your muse

my opinion on;

character in general: One of my top five fave video game antags. Her wicked humor, her dangerous nature, her everything...I love it.how they play them: Another case where I feel like I can hear the voice of the character, which is super impressive for GLaDOS. I especially love her interactions, particularly with Lloyd. They remind me of April and Andy from Parks and Recreation.the mun:  You’re amazing? Aaaaaaaaaaaa

do i;

follow them: Yes rp with them: Yeswant to rp with them: YESship their character with mine: Nah, they’re just good friends, though I’d love to see Lloyd take her out to dinner and to various places and her think he’s got a crush on her because that’s honestly hilarious to me help I’m laughing.

what is my;
