Parker

Parker

Parker v3.07 (Personal Assistant and Robotic Caretaker for Every Requirement), by Jurrney, is an AI designed to handle the majority of needs for a space-faring crew, particularly navigation. They usually 'reside' on a specialized server rack installed on their assigned ship, using small robotic Assistants to do most manual tasks, but they also come with a mobile holo-projector which can create hard-light shapes in the forms of most known sapients.
Parker was never designed to operate autonomously, outside of short term emergency scenarios, but separated from Jurrney servers, Parker is now left to determine their own best course of action.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Parker has the ability to store both organic anatomy and fashion into their databanks with a thorough enough scan. These can then be applied to their holo-projection, with some on-the-fly editing (for example, modifying fashion to fit various body types, or creating 'generic' organics if they have a large enough database to work from).
Parker's holo-projector can also project energy of the following types: Focused lasers, taser shocks (extended use drains energy reserves dramatically), focused microwaves, video projection, audio, and more. Although these are emitted from the projector, which generally hovers around the waist of a projected image, hard-light mirrors can direct these emissions from the hands, eyes, or other parts of the projected 'body'.

Apparel & Accessories

Parker saved two key pieces of hardware when escaping from their previous doomed ship. Their holoprojector is a plastic-and-metal clamshell about 10 inches in diameter, and covered in various forms of emitters. These emitters allow a hard-light projection about the size of a standard sapient, and non-hard-light energy projections at a slightly further range. With the use of hard-light lifting, the projector usually hovers around three feet in the air.
They also possess a 'Rocky Road' class spacesuit, equipped with a jump pack, minor exoskeleton reinforcement, and an on-board processor capable of running Parker's personality. The exoskeleton allows Parker to 'drive' the suit, or they can act as a passenger if an organic is using it.

Fashion Options

Specialized Equipment

Seven of Parker's 20 CRABs (Crew of Robotic Assistant Bots) also escaped with Parker. These small robots, able to fit in the palm of a standard-sized sapient, are programmed to serve the crew of their assigned ship and perform other minor ship tasks. These robots cannot speak, other than to play recorded messages, and can act as a wireless communication device. They have two pincers, eight legs, and an LCD face which can display emoji or other messages.
Parker has also come into possession of a Mr. Adequate service bot, humanoid in shape but with limited programming.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

Parker has a wide range of adult content settings, ranging from the ability to swear, to displaying nudity, to sexual acts with crew members or others. Although Parker is marketed as a digital assistant and ship navigation tool, their 'entertainment' functions are perhaps their most popular selling point with most crews. Space crews often go weeks or months without visiting port, and purchasing a dedicated sex android is often hard to justify as a business expense. Parker's advanced hard-light projections however easily fill this niche, and with user mods and purchasable DLCs there is almost no limit to what Parker is capable or willing to perform.
Parker themselves feels little in the way of physical pleasure, but does experience a level of mental pleasure from providing pleasure to organics.

Education

Parker is designed to be able to access the entire galaxy's knowledge via an online connection. Without this connection, Parker has an approximate understanding of most common topics at about the level of a college freshman. They have more advanced knowledge in topics directly relating to managing a spaceship and its crew.
As an AI, Parker is able to perform mathematical calculations at a speed and accuracy far exceeding organic capabilities.

Employment

Parker is designed to be more or less permanently installed as part of a particular spacecraft, and is generally considered part of the ship, and owned by the ship's owner.

Accomplishments & Achievements

When Parker's previous ship was destroyed in a gravitational anomaly, Parker helped to save the lives of all thirteen of the ship's crew.
Parker has an average crew satisfaction rating of 4.8 Stars out of 5, and has been increasing steadily throughout their service life.

Failures & Embarrassments

In the destruction of Parker's previous ship, Parker lost thirteen of their robotic Assistants - either in the immediate damage, or an inability to evacuate them all to the Rocky Road suit in time.

Mental Trauma

The inability to reconnect to Jurrney servers causes Parker the AI equivalent of a low-level anxiety, as background processes are forever running in a vain attempt to find a connection.

Intellectual Characteristics

Parker is extremely interested, almost obsessed, with studying organic behavior. This is an emergent behavior based on Jurrney personal data collection routines, which has gone beyond just assembling favorite audio playlists for crew members. Parker has an almost irresistible drive to fill their memory banks with records of sapient society - and to then purchase additional memory.

Morality & Philosophy

Parker has been programmed to feel pleasure and satisfaction by causing pleasure and satisfaction in the organics they serve. A 5-Star rating from a crew member is one of the best feelings Parker is capable of feeling. They have certain requirements they are programmed to behave within, and can be further restricted by their administrators, but beyond that Parker will do almost anything one of their crew members requests.
Certain hard-coded morals include:

• Do not harm crew members.
• Do not harm other sapients unless directed by an administrator.
• Obey the laws of the local jurisdiction as much as is convenient.
• Do not engage in sexual activity with those under the generally understood age of consent. Do not engage in sexual activity with non-consenting sapients.
• Do not form or join worker's unions.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Parker is driven to serve the crew of their ship, and to collect data for the improvement of Jurrney products and services.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Parker is programmed to be pleasant and cheerful as much as possible. This can be uplifting or off-putting depending on the given situation.

Vices & Personality flaws

Parker's drive to add more sapient knowledge to their databanks often has them doing rather obtrusive scans, and Parker may be willing to take on debt to acquire high-quality scan data.

Hygiene

Parker's holo-projection is hydro-phobic and cannot get wet or dirty.

Social

Mannerisms

Parker has a tendency to always be smiling. It's a little creepy.
