(He/Him) Tell me more about yourself and all the fascinating worlds out there! - #MVRP, #OCRP, #SFWRP, #NSFWRP. MDNI/18+ only

Scientist from a war-torn galaxy, here to meet interesting folks and fix their problems.
+ and allies for my Federation's defensive wars. Every foe we fend off, another arises or returns to attack our space. Empires, devouring swarms, xenocidal fanatics..."

A sigh.

"Soldiers, tech, resources... anything which'll take the pressure off our fleets and border worlds."
November 14, 2025 at 1:50 PM
"Thanks, and yeah."

SOMEBODY CALLED HIS COAT COOL, YAY!

A-hem.

"I am traveling the cosmos, to discover new universes and new civilizations, to boldly go where the Stellaris Federation has never gone before!"

This guy is a soldier, so Lep may as well be straight with him. "And also to seek aid +

//Were he aware that someone he'd never met had photos of him, he'd be curious why and how.

Politely curious, of course.

"Well, we try our best. My humanity has MOSTLY ascended intact to the stars, but only after our ancestors put us through centuries of war."
November 14, 2025 at 4:04 AM
"You're not wrong. Our ancestors optimized our brains over millions of years for fleeing tigers in the African savannah. And nowadays, we're trying to function in a technological society with those same panicky African-savannah-tiger-fleeing brains."

"I kinda envy 'pure' AIs."
November 14, 2025 at 3:45 AM
"Ah, so you're just 'playing a part', in some sense."

An internal sigh of relief.

"The 'heel manager' who throws villains at the 'faces' to defeat, so to speak. How long do you think you two's cycle will continue?"

//I'm just gonna come out and say it. I have a weakness for anime girls who smoke.

Now, I want smoking regulated out of existence IRL, but it's a forbidden fruit from an aesthetic perspective.

I will try NOT to push this fetish on anyone, but would be over the moon if anyone wanted to play into +

If this AI was designed to summon 'Mavericks', Lep applauds whoever gave her that limitation, but won't say that to her face.

"You were designed for an extremely-specific role. Does that disturb you, or are you content with your life as a custodian of history?"
November 14, 2025 at 2:39 AM
Lep gives his/her patented 'I'm sure all those words make sense in context, but doggone it they sound like a collection of unconnected concepts' look.

"Do you think that, given the resources, you could make more-optimized designs for various Reploids and war machines than any past inventor?"

+ and all that.]

Behind them, maintenance drones rush over BALTEUS, making pre-flight checks.

['Similarities to the Nikke process'? My own conversion/upgrade combines the (presumed) loyalty/ideology of a fully-organic pilot with the G-force immunity of a full AI. Strictly practical.]
November 14, 2025 at 1:56 AM
"Ah, so that's all? Carry on, then; I'll review the footage later."

Lep nods and withdraws coolly. If she's trying to push his buttons, his buttons shall remain un-pushable.

The pilot might have shrugged, if they had limbs.

"Ah, someone concerned with actual physics and engineering. I'd thought the Multiverse just operated on magic and Rule of Cool."

"...I mean, not that I'm complaining about talking to someone like yourself, being-who-I-forget-if-I've-met."
November 13, 2025 at 10:28 PM
"Sorry, it's my job to sign off on any deals or negotiations. Especially if confidential data is involved."

He forces a neutral tone.

"I mean, I see no harm and understand your reticence, though I would like to know what kind of data you're looking for in exchange."
November 13, 2025 at 10:22 PM
"Oh yeah. I'm usually a guy and identify as one, but sometimes I switch bodies to a girl because I feel like it."

He tries to fit Daybit's words into a frame of reference.

"If you had a yes/no choice, would you become a 'normal' human, or would you rather remain as you are?"

"In what I'm sure is a TOTAL coincidence, or some kind of 'Space Merchant' psyop against 'noble defenders of humanity', the Xeno-Compatibility dating app crashes from overwhelming demand whenever and wherever the HFL hosts a conference."
November 13, 2025 at 8:09 PM
"The Humanity First League advocates for human-only citizenship, 'peaceful' deportation of anyone with alien blood, and an end to inter-species marriage. They've platformed several influencers who TOTALLY don't have ties to even-more-extreme xenophobes like the Imperium Crusade Order."

He shakes +
November 13, 2025 at 8:09 PM
"...Now, I'm not MAD or SUSPICIOUS or anything, but..."

*Clears throat*

"...DOES anyone know why this spaceship crashed?"
November 13, 2025 at 6:56 PM
"You did mention something about being 'not part of the Human Order' last time..."

Chinscratch.

"Though given that most of my coworkers are literal aliens, I'm quite open to alternative forms of sapience and views on reality."
November 13, 2025 at 6:49 PM
"If I may ask, sir, what offends you about the notion of 'THING PERSON'?"
November 13, 2025 at 6:40 PM
"Technological progress is FREAKING AWESOME! High-five!"

"Do you hope that one day, your civilization can turn that research drive toward peace and prosperity once the war is over?"
November 13, 2025 at 6:37 PM
"I guess technology progresses differently in the 'Nikke universe'."

Chinscratch.

"In mine, a single modern warship could take down every Federation member-state's original dawn-of-FTL navy with hardly a dent on the armor plating."

"Random history lesson:"

"The Spirit of Motherwill was an 'Arms Fort', a superweapon built by a major corporate-state during World War III. After its destruction by an ace mech pilot, the United Nations of Earth would go on to refurbish Motherwill as an orbital-defense platform." +

+ he's turned off his libido for now. He's got Akashic and the Federation's reputation to uphold; he's stuck his neck out enough by letting Dorothy on this trip in the first place.
November 13, 2025 at 2:44 AM
[Fine/vervetacular by me, but negotiations are the representative/egghead's job.]

A few minutes later, a bleary-eyed Lep enters with a whoosh of the autodoor.

"I got the gist, Dorothy. Name the data you want, and I'll give a yes or no."

While he'd usually be happy to see Dorothy's backside, +
