Another one.
TYPE: LESSER HUSK
DATA:
While their tall stature may seem intimidating
Strays are afraid of most danger and will try to stay at a safe distance, only attacking via projectiles formed with Hell Energy.
Although controlling and manifesting this energy is a complicated task, Strays have very low intelligence and are only able to do so via pure instinct.
Nevertheless, humans were unable to replicate this level of accuracy and control, particularily the Stray’s ability to cause the energy orbs to selectively ignore other Husks.

NOTICE FOR PEOPLE WHO DONATED SIM CARDS TO GAZA
You might get an email saying that your SIM card's plan has 25% or 10% data remaining. This is a great sign- it tells us that the family/person/journalist who received it is using it to the fullest!
If you haven't donated eSims to Gaza yet, this official link tells you exactly how to do so and walks you through the process. Check the top 3 eSIMs they're in need of using the link.
(EDITED TO AVOID MISINFO)
I don't have the spoons to communicate this info in my own words so @seerya I hope you don't mind me just taping your ask to my post like its a bulletin board. (ID in ALT!)
Keep Palestine in your thoughts and prayers, and keep helping as much as you can!

So obvious most people would argue Data is much more human than a Terminator but you do have to take into account that Data is programmed to grow and learn and understand humanity, whereas a Terminator is programmed to be a single minded killing machine that doesn't ask questions but it can evolve beyond that under the right circumstances. Does it make a Terminator's curiosity and self awareness more "real" in a sense, that it happens despite its programming rather than because of it? Or could you argue Data's hypothetical humanity being by design doesn't necessarily invalidate it because we are all in a sense the result of biological programming?

Silly Game Time: Who are some of your favorite mechanical characters, be they robots, androids, cyborgs, or something else? And what do like about them?
OOOOH...
Well, first, gotta mention my man Data.
A lot of people has said that he is autism-coded in the way that he is presented, and in how other people react to him. And I kind of agree tbh. He's also just a sweetheart, and his bonds with the crew (especially Laforge), his cat Spot, and sometimes with people who are briefly onboard are so lovely.
I also feel I should mention Connor,
Because his arc has probably inspired so many OCs at this point. Bryan Dechart did such an excellent job playing him, and his growing bond with Hank is very well-written. I think it's honestly touching how it's often emotional bonds that show humanity.
Another I feel would be a crime not to mention,
Because between the iconic lines and the dynamic he has with John Connor, and the way it shapes his various decisions, how could I not? And yes I'm specifically talking Terminator 2 here. Though I will say he makes an EXCELLENT force of nature and presence of absolute horror in the first movie.
Then, of course, the sapphic community's favourite,
Because "Want You Gone" hurts me on a personal level, and I don't just mean because it's how GLaDOS says farewell. I relate to that song so much (and did a cover of it :D) and, in general, relate with much of her story. Of course, she's a sassy motherfucker who you can't help but love. But for how much Portal 2 is considered the inferior game, it really does make her story into one of self-discovery and complicated morality. I guess it just gets overshadowed by Oh hi. How are you holding up.
Next,
I MEAN. COME ON. This guy used to be, and honestly still is, one of my biggest fictional crushes. His charisma is magnetic, of course. His STORY being wrapped up by the connections he used to have being rekindled, resulting in him choosing to be a star for those who need one most, rather than a star for the most people possible???? Ugh, poetic cinema.
Speaking of stars,
[vibrating] I have so many headcanons when it comes to this one
But more to the point, Star Dream is an absolute force of nature. Its boss fight is incredible, an absolute marvel of multiple types of play styles coming together. The themes? Slap.
Star Dream's draw, for me, is that its sentience is so…debatable. I'm on the side of “had sentience the whole time”, and more to the point, “based on how much Haltmann copied homework, it's possible he brought something back from the dead” but I dunno, I don't like arguing my case when it comes to the second. The point is, for many of things that it does, it's uncertain whether that's just part of its program, or if it's a sentient decision. Was Susie sent away because of something accidental, or was it Star Dream's intention? The fact that Haltmann became so focused on its creation after her disappearance, in my eyes, kind of implies the latter…
… It's also interesting that even without Haltmann giving it a voice via him-being-possessed, it only chooses to speak to Meta Knight.
Can you tell I have The Kirby Autism, is it noticeable, is it obvious—
Also I'm gonna put two of my OCs here, because self-indulgence is alive and well.
This is Palharine and Mayday! They're my favourites out of a group of robot/android characters I created about three years ago, and have finally taken the time to draw recently:
From left to right, you got Eodel Remidoros, Palharine, Mayday, and Ziah Hyperion. All very different interpretations of robotic.
Palharine and Mayday stand out to me due to their emotional states. They're kind of opposites, in that regard. Mayday is a very sensitive gal, who has been through a lot of pain, and is trying to become stronger so she can confidently say she has no doubt in who she is. Palharine, as far as they're aware, has no emotions. Which is interesting, since the other three all seem to, to some degree. Among the four, Palharine is also unique in that they're programmed to dream. Both of these things shape them a lot.
But these two have a very sweet bond, where they're both passionate about biology, especially botany. Mayday, in a training exercise, also nearly wipes the floor with Palharine. It's more touching than it sounds.
Also, Palharine's genderfluid and Maydays a trans woman, so those things just inherently spark joy for me, haha!
This has been, real robotic character hours.

Terminal Data — Adnachiel Mercator, the Asclepian Messenger
[ 16 y/o — 158cm — 5 tonne ]
The Observatory's senior physician specializing in pharmacology. Before his workplace saw his potential in medical aid, and means of communication were limited, he was assigned to be the messenger between Helios and leading stars of other territories. Now, he administers and prescribes medicine, personalized according to patients. His irritable nature and 'bitter herbs make the best medicine' mindset has driven people away from him, though.
