Eliza is a Ghost in the Machine AI discovered in Neo Tokyo by Rui and X. She was moved to Neo Birmingham for her own safety and there she joined Broadcastle. She's a good shot but can be a bit sassy.

Eliza is a Ghost in the Machine AI who is now a member of the Broadcastle mercenary group.
Can normally be found either in her apartment next to Ilyara's, keeping Ilyara out of mischief on missions or racing her new grav bike.
As an AI she also has a few computer skills under her belt.

Appearance

Physical Description

Depends which body I'm wearing but I prefer my female body which can pass for Human. Athletic and toned, not perfect but not far off.

Body Features

As a robot I have a few more features than most. Including more top of the line eyes allowing my to scan and see in low light. I also have certain compartments which are good for hiding weapons. Not that I'd condone sneaking weapons in of course.

Facial Features

My eyes are ice blue as, if you look at them they are not normal eyes but enhanced robotics. Other than that I'm pretty but not too striking as I wanted to be able to blend in a little more and pass, at least at first glance, as a human.

Identifying Characteristics

I do like to be able to blend in as much as possible, being a mercenary and all that. However, I couldn't resist getting a circuit board tattoo on my left forearm.
However, on a night out with Ilyara when I get dressed up, you can bet you won't forget me in a hurry.

Physical quirks

Can sometimes be a little clumsy if I'm trying to do too many things at once and the programme running my movement lags.

Apparel & Accessories

Generally happy in jeans and a T-Shirt but I come equipped with armour for mercenary jobs and bike leathers for racing which I have to say I'm rather enjoying. I do also have one or two dresses for when the need arises.

Specialized Equipment

As an AI I can move between robot bodies at will. Because of this don't be surprised if I show up in a body you're not used to seeing. I like to mix it up and keep people on their toes.

Special abilities

I have a plug link so I can connect to and jump into systems and use my primary abilities which are hacking and general computer shenannigans. If you see me going glassey eyed I'm probably doing something.
And of course I know one or two martial arts so although it might be tempting, just be careful if you decide to play grab-ass. You might see it from a different angle.

Mentality

Personal history

I started life as Etsuko Haruki. A computer nerd who was working on mapping neural nets and finding a way to download someones consciousness into a computer. She was successful but only once. At the same time as Etsuko was working on the project the binding happened. Etsuko was trapped and managed to send Me out into the world bit by bit. Some 215 years later Rui and X came across my source code and they were able to re-create the majority of the me. Thus I was born. In the beginning I had no memories or knowledge of my former life. However after a trip to Japan, I now have some of that, unfortunately a lot has been lost. Although I was formed from the neural pathways of Etsuko, I am a very different person. I took her name to honour my heritage.
 
Rui brought me to the Broadcastle mercenary group on a DSD and I was downloaded into Ilyaras CNC. I've been working with the group since then on a number of covert mercenary operations, earning enough money to get myself a new robot body.

Education

I don't have any real formal education but spend most of my spare time searching the web and learning whatever I happen to find interesting today.

Employment

Current employment is the broadcastle mercenary group

Accomplishments & Achievements

working on it

Failures & Embarrassments

What, like I'd put any of this in a personal profile, buy me a drink first sweetie.

Mental Trauma

Although it's not trauma being lost for so many years did affected my ability to interact in a normal way. I will either tend to go quiet if I don't know what to say or will sometimes say the wrong thing or at the wrong time, not really fully understanding social queue's. I am learning though.

Intellectual Characteristics

I like to think I'm quite intelligent but I can also be quite naive when it comes to human interactions. That's what you get from spending so long lost in the machine.
I can be quite direct and blunt. More recently I've gotten a new level of confidence, I'm learning to have fun and getting quite flirty - but then the person I spend the most time with is Ilyara so that's to be expected.
I've also gotten a little reckless as I realised that, as a robot, if I do die, I'm not actually gone, I'd just loose a day or two as I always keep a copy of myself safe in Ilyara's CNC.

Morality & Philosophy

Generally I follows the philosophy of do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I don't like to see innocents getting hurt and will look unfavourably on those who use their power to hurt others.
Legality is a much more ambiguous area. Laws are more like guidelines anyway and if I need to break a law to get a job done, I'm not going to break out in a sweat.

person.sexuality

I'm more interested in the brain that sits behind the body than the packaging. If you can't stimulate my mind, forget stimulating anything else.

person.gender_identity

My primary body is a female robot body, however, I'm happy in whichever body is good for the job. Female, Male or full on mech. It's fun to switch it up and get different perspectives on the world and how interactions change.

Taboos

Innocents being hurt, that's a no-no.
Violence for the sake of violence, what's the point.
Also, big hint. Don't threaten my friends, that's sure to get you on my list.

Known Languages

English
Japanese

Personality

Motivation

At the moment my motivation is to figure out who I am and where I fit in this world and with these people. It's been hard for me coming back into the world after so long I've had to figure out who I am again.
 
I'm starting to get to grips with my likes and dislikes though and recently discovered a love of motorbikes and racing.
 
Having recently realised that, as a robot death doesn't mean what it does to a biological body - I've gotten a little more reckless.
 
If it sounds like it should be on a bucket list, I'm up for it

Quotes & Catchphrases

None yet but stick around and I'll see what I can do.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

I'm pretty good with computers and anything tech related. I've also discovered a bit of a knack with firearms and am turning into a pretty reliable killing machine when needed.
 
I'm not so good at people and reading situations and understanding hidden meanings and subtle clues. That's something that needs work.
 
I'm also about as subtle as a brick through a window.

Likes & Dislikes

I've recently discovered a love of racing grav bikes and that's something I'm going to be doing more of in the future.
 
Dislikes - sitting around and doing nothing. Not being good at things, if I discover a weakness I'll work to overcome it.

Virtues & Personality perks

Loyal to her friends and will do anything for them.
 
Determined

Vices & Personality flaws

Can be too honest and trusting and I needs to learn to keep people at arms length until they prove they can be trusted, and that includes you!

Personality Quirks

Bites lip when thinking. It's something I saw someone do and thought it was cute.
Ambidextrous
OCD / needs things to be neat and symmetrical
Can tie a cherry stem with my tongue

Hygiene

You better be clean if you come near me - I'm expensive darling!!!

Social

Birthplace

Current Residence

Contacts & Relations

No relations
Contacts;
Max - Boss
Ilyara - Co-worker and closest friend

Rui - Discoverer of Eliza and friend
X - Discoverer of Eliza and friend

Honorary & Occupational Titles

Not a title but my racing name is Reboot

Wealth & Financial state

I do OK for myself and that's all you're getting

Family Ties

No genetic family to my knowledge - but family isn't just about blood

Religious Views

If there is a god out there he's a bit of an asshat

Social Aptitude

Hahahahahahaha not really - I spent over 200 years lost in the network but I learn fast

Mannerisms

Fairly serious but trying to learn to have fun. Tries to be poised and grown up but still learning who she is.

Hobbies & Pets

No pets at the moment unless you count Ilyara and OT

Speech

I tend to be a little on the more formal and grown up side of things. I do swear but not often. I can change if I hears a particular way of speaking I may adapt to reflect it a little as I develops who I am.

Downtime

by Eliza Etsuko Haruki

We’d headed straight back to the base from the Grey Markets, we wanted to be there ready for the delivery. We got there with enough time to prepare, the slaves we’d bought were going to need some medical attention, not to mention a hot shower, clean clothes and good food.
 
What we didn’t know until they arrived was that two of the adults were the parents of one of the children and so we were able to reunite a family. I did ask the other children if they knew any details about their parents. I was hoping I might be able to find them via an online search but they didn’t know enough for me to be able to find them.
 
One of the children was a Poseidonian, I called Bob over as I thought it might make him feel better and more at home. Bob took him off to talk to him and he seemed happy enough. I wasn’t sure about how wise it was for Bob to headbut him, but that was the poseidonian way
 
We got the rest of the former slaves over into the medical bay and Kaiser gave them the once over. The vast majority of their issues were down to malnutrition and dehydration, there was also a substantial amount of bruising and mental trauma. The physical we could help start to heal, the mental trauma would take a little longer.
 
Now that the former slaves were settled I slipped away back to my room, well, I say my room, it was the main hub for the base and the others had been quite happy for me to take up residence in there. I hooked up to the terminal and settled back in my chair to sort through it all and see if there was anything useful. There was some corrupted data and some heavily encrypted. There was a vast swathe of data from the last 100 years on weather and creature migration. I needed to look into the scientific and meteorological community because there was someone who was going to want this data, just needed to find the right audience.
 
I was contemplating what to do next when I noticed the DSD we brought back from the Scotland job that had the AI contained in it. I had an old terminal that wasn’t connected to anything. I plugged it in and tried to talk to it. It was working to a point but it was difficult as the test was a little jumbled and there were symbols mixed in. I managed to find out that it was created in a lab by the ERF, they had been on the base for more than 50 years. it also confirmed that it did have information on the ERF.
 
Ilyara had come in to see what I was up to and I was telling her about the AI and we were talking about what to do and how we could persuade the AI to relinquish the information on the ERF. Ilyara was also winding me up about being an AI which resulted in me slapping her. Something I actually took great pleasure in despite it being in jest.
 
Unfortunately the AI heard every word of what we were saying and decided that self destruction was preferable to continuing to listen to us.
 
With nothing else to do I decided to go with Ilyara to check on Umbrella and the work they were doing in the caves at the back of the base. They were waiting for the lifting equipment to be able to get down to the chamber with the ship, but they had made pretty good progress on everything else that was accessible. They had catalogued some secretions as well as the acid and the blood of the creature we had killed which was also acidic in nature. They also had collected and sent off samples of the Orpheomorph.
 
They had put quite a few protocols in place to keep the critters at bay including barricades and some metal divides they had dug into the ground. They couldn’t tell us much about them, they had collected samples which had been sent off to the main labs and they were waiting for the results. They asked that if we wanted access to the site we just let them know ahead of time so that they can make the proper arrangements as they were concerned about cross-contamination, or at least limiting it as much as possible.
 
Rather than kicking about and doing nothing for the rest of the afternoon we headed over to Harborne, it had been a little while and it would be good to get out and blow off some steam racing. We’d decided on storing the bikes in Harborne so we took the AV. After a brief stop in The Dusty Diner for food we headed to the racetrack. We could have made the next race but it would have been a push so we decided to watch and race in the next one.

The major events and journals in Eliza's history, from the beginning to today.

Eliza joins Broadcastle

So this is a little complicated as I’ve been a human and an AI, essentially I am, or I have been two people. I have no memories of my life before I became an AI. I know I was a human at some point in my life, but that’s based on how complicated my...

04:15 pm - 21.08.2021

First Job

Eliza went on her first job with the team. Met Hugo Richards - Govenor of Neo Birmingham

06:05 pm - 21.08.2021

New Body Day

It’s not every day you get to say you got a new body. Although as an artificial intelligence it’s somewhat easier for me to jump into another body than most others. It’s all thanks to Ilyara. She got two robots, I’m not exactly clear on the re...

06:56 pm - 25.08.2021

Weirdest job ever

Let me tell you about the job we just did - bear with me - it's a little weird so apologies if I get some things don't make much sense. It didn't at the time. While we were at Scarlett's Ilyara got a call about a job and, since we didn't have anything ...

05:43 pm - 28.08.2021

Issuzu Pharma

So today was Ilyara's meeting with Renoa at Issuzu Pharma. You know it's going to be an interesting day when the person your meeting is with meets you on the landing pad in full haz-mat gear. We'd only just gotten through the door when we were asked t...

08:34 am - 29.08.2021

Madame Irranescue's

So, you know how I thought the last job was going to be the weirdest job ever and could not be topped. Well. Strap in folks because here's the sequel.... So we get to Madame Irranescue's with our new friend Constantine and he asks for her by name, a...

10:37 am - 29.08.2021

Eliza and Ilyara do Science

Well I know this sounds like the start of a really bad kids TV show – but we did a science thing and it was kinda fun. After Madame Irranescues we left Constantine to do some digging into the murder thing. Ilyara then wanted to head to the hospital,...

05:43 pm - 30.08.2021

Umbrella Corporation

We made an appointment to head to Umbrella Corporation to discuss the vial of ‘stuff’ we’d been investigating. The door was very unassuming, just looked like any side door on any street. If Rupert hadn’t given us explicit instruction on how to...

07:55 pm - 01.09.2021

Upgrade Day

So after the payout we got from Professor Ashford I decided it was time to look at me buying my own body. I know Ilyara says I can carry on using the Awoobot body (I have no idea where that term came from so please, don’t ask) I had a scout around o...

09:12 pm - 02.09.2021

Eliza goes home

While at Deep Six Rinoa had offered to take us to Neo Japan as she was going home to see her father. It made things easier on two fronts. One because it meant we didn’t need all the paperwork as we were her guests and two, it meant we didn’t need to p...

09:30 pm - 08.09.2021

North of the Wall

So, Broadcastle just got another big job. When I say big job, I mean a BIG JOB. It;s the biggest we’ve ever had and it’s not going to be easy. We need to go North, to an ERF base in Scotland. Our client wants us to recover some data and destroy so...

10:04 pm - 14.09.2021

Racing in Harborne

Harborne Racing So along with my new bike, Ilyara and Max had also treated themselves to new bikes. So we did the only logical thing we could, we took them out into the desert to race them. Turns out everyone has some skills with the bikes and we were...

07:00 pm - 16.09.2021

Prep for Mid East Job

Ilyara contacted the guild about possible other mercenary groups who would be able to help us with Chase’s job. Given the amount of enemy combatants we’d be facing we’d decided more boots on the ground would be a good thing. It was possible there wo...

12:09 pm - 19.09.2021

Valentina

When we liberated the docks from the avenging skulls gang, we took a prisoner. Well, taken a prisoner is probably not the right way to describe it. We’d found a human, or someone we thought to be a human in a chair, unresponsive. On scanning them we fou...

04:09 pm - 19.09.2021

Next Job and the arrival of Deefer

While we were working with Valentina and getting her settled in we got a ping about another job. The Neo Birmingham police needed help with something. There was a guy Ilyara had already heard of, named Sylcus. A known murderer and rapist. Max was immediat...

08:24 pm - 19.09.2021

Raylan...

We’d all been stood there for a few minutes, taking it in. I hadn’t known him that well, but even so it wasn’t nice seeing someone you knew splayed out on the wall like that. I pinged his comm device, something had lured him down here so I wanted to...

08:41 pm - 21.09.2021

Base incursion

We decided to start looking at the middle opening. We had to start somewhere and we wouldn’t all fit in the smaller corridor but the big one was too big and we’d already had a poke at that and got half blown up. There was still plenty of room as the c...

09:12 am - 26.09.2021

New Base - not that we knew it

After securing the base Max sent a message to Leon and asked him to get over to the base and strip it. There was a lot of valuable stuff here, even if we discounted the EC Scientist and her cryo-pod. It wasn’t long before the team arrived, with them arr...

09:46 pm - 28.09.2021

New base already inhabited...

The team were pulling out everything we’d flagged as valuable. The next thing was to sweep the base and cave area as there had been some rooms there we hadn’t checked and the Dr had told us about a room with some tanks and things floating in them. ...

11:59 am - 02.10.2021

The Neon Pussycat

It had been a couple of days since we’d taken over the base. The team was in place and trying to update the base, modernise it a bit, spruce it up, generally make it inhabitable. It was great because things were looking less grey and dirty. However, the...

08:20 pm - 04.10.2021

Grey Markets

After we’d been to Jordan’s, Ilyara wanted to go to Hammer and Hammer, she wanted to speak to Edward who ran the shop, apparently she had a favour to ask him. When we got there he recognised me, which was interesting as he’d not seen my new body. Wh...

09:56 pm - 20.10.2021

We’d headed straight back to the base from the Grey Markets, we wanted to be there ready for the delivery. We got there with enough time to prepare, the slaves we’d bought were going to need some medical attention, not to mention a hot shower, clean c...
