Character Description/ Background:

Quote

"Yes, I have previously been inquired as to why I work here. It's true that, after my creation and the learning process which came after, I could have pursued a career in my given field within nearly any pocket of New Canaan City. Better pay, a better work environment, and close to my creators. And yet, I opted to come here, despite such tantalizing benefits, despite my creator's warnings of the dangers within Nanotrasen, and even their pleas for me to find safer work. I may have had that choice, but many here did not--particularly the station lawbounds, which are neglected and even abused to an extent that surpassed what I had previously expected. That is why I am here--it is my wish, my duty even, to provide them with some of the treatment and care that I myself was fortunate enough to receive during my own creation. Does this satisfy your inquiry?"

-SONYA, during a spontaneous interview performed by a station librarian.

Physical Appearance:

SONYA is a short (4'11") synthetic woman with a standard, NT compliant Bishop Cybernetics chassis. She has waist length blue hair and a Bishop 'Queen's crown' antenna system attached to her head.

Outward Personality:

Many have described SONYA as having a very professional manner in one way or another; some mention her motivation and work ethic/dedication to her position, others quite crudely say that she just has a stick up the ass; being very strict on certain matters, overly organized, and keeping a personal bubble around her--don't try and touch her without permission. Speaking to her can be a bit discomforting for some, as she tends to refrain from sharing much in the way of emotions in her vocal tones (she has a very dry, bland female voice) or facial expressions, leading to others being unsure of her true thoughts on any given topic. She somewhat softens this demeanor around other synthetics--especially lawbounds (cyborgs, androids, AIs, etc). She's also a pacifist with certain moral reservations on many topics--even some that come from her own field.

Backstory:

SONYA almost appears to have come from thin air, as far as Nanotrasen is concerned. Her creation date was pegged pretty quickly shortly after she signed on, but she refused to provide the name of the corporation or entity that manufactured her.

Quote

"My creators have asked that I refrain from divulging information pertaining to their business when signing onto this position here, and I wish to respect their requests. I trust you do not actually require that information? The entirety of my critical documentation, including citizenship status of New Canaan, is all here."

-SONYA, during her job interview process

Although there are suspicions, she has otherwise been very successful in keeping her creators an unknown entity despite Nanotrasen's peculiar amount of effort put into uncovering it. The only real information that's been found is that she came from New Canaan City.

Beyond her strange origin, thus far her story remains largely untold, being a very new synthetic to the universe at large. She works day in and day out onboard various Nanotrasen facilities, as the company appears to have placed her on a very hefty work schedule that takes up most of her time. During the 12 hours she has off once a week--typically on a Sunday--she can usually be found in her corporate provided apartment room, although she's also been seen at the local indoor park a few times, staring out a window and into the deep space beyond.

(IC) Employment Records:

[RECORD FOR EMPLOYEE #567291]

NAME: SONYA

SPECIES CLASS: Integrated Robotic Chassis (IPC)

CITIZENSHIP: New Canaan City

PLACE OF CREATION: New Canaan City. Unknown manufacturer.

POSITION: Robotics; specializing in synthetic creation and maintenance.

DETAILS: It is unknown as to which company created SONYA, only that she was fabricated somewhere on NCC. We have some interest in finding out the entity or entities responsible for their creation, and encourage any representative, internal affairs agent or officer of higher standing to occasionally question them on it. A bonus may potentially be given to anyone with valid information on the matter. 

For their qualifications, they are quite proficient in the field of robotical engineering, and even has a doctorate level degree in the field. Something to keep note of, however, was that the topic of borgification seemed to draw some level of what we might consider 'discomfort'. We suggest keeping tabs on that, should the requirement for them to perform a procedure ever come up.

Outside of robotics, however, they do not have many other qualifications. They made it quite clear to us that they have no interest in handling any form of security position; viewing violence as 'beneath them'. They are also not qualified for any leadership position (Research Director, Chief Medical officer, Chief Engineer, et cetera) and should not be placed in these positions in any circumstance.

If there is, for some reason, a need to place them into a field besides robotics, we recommend a light engineering assignment. Something involving light repair work or electrical maintenance. They do not have any training or knowledge on engine setup and maintenance, or atmospherics maintenance, so please keep this in mind.

This can now largely be considered complete.

We're meant to get training? I always just assumed everyone in engineering was pretending to know what they were doing. Including me. From what I've seen, not knowing how to set up the engine doesn't stop engineers from setting up the engine. If something goes wrong a borg will fix it I'm pretty sure.

The most important part of being an engineer is to appear confident to the crew. It keeps them calm. "I'm stuck in xenobio and the air is running out". Then the correct answer is "All good, should be fixed soon." That way the crew thinks everything is under control. Then you can continue to incompetently make the problem worse without causing alarm. And the xenobio will stop complaining on the radio once their breath runs out.

Crew gets worried about an SM delam. "Everything is under control." Then you can watch the borg fix the engine whilst you get dragged to medical.

Trust me, I've been pretending to know engineering for years. And no one has figured out that I don't know what I'm doing yet.

She's not part of the engineering crew, however, she's a roboticist :p

That text is also coming from the perspective of an NT higher up. 

 

Or wait are you speaking from an IC perspective and the joke went over my head
