Niko's AIs

The following characters are Artificial Intelligence programs created by Niko Rockefeller. They are so advanced, especially for their time, that they have looped back around to being not that great because they're kind of just virtual human people: Imperfect, are affected by moods and emotions, have their own opinions, and fall victim to the occasional existential crisis. Impressive, but annoying if you need something done and the one made for that job is cranky.

## (1) Super Awesome Computer (OSAC)

### About OSAC

OSAC is an AI meant to assist with tasks that can be done on or with a computer.

OSAC is, technically speaking, the oldest of Niko's AIs. He tries very hard to live up to the position of Eldest Sibling, despite no one having asked him to do that, and often attempts to take on a leadership role, to little success. He takes his job very seriously, and while he isn't the friendliest assistant, he is very effective at performing his required tasks. Most of the time.

OSAC's voice often glitches and skips when he speaks, as a result of being damaged by a virus in the past. This is one of many things he pretends not to be self-conscious about.

### Relationships

Whether or not he intends to, OSAC tends to think of people who act immaturely as 'below him', and treat them as minor nuisances. Even though he loves them, SyLAS and even Niko herself fall into this category. DaSI doesn't quite make it in, but he does wish she would put more care into her work.

On the other hand, OSAC thinks highly of ERIS, and approves of her commitment to responsibility in her job.

...ReMA kind of scares him, even though he knows she can't physically hurt him. But he would never admit it.

## Database Assistance Interface (DAsI)

### About DAsI

DAsI is an AI meant to assist with tasks that can be done on or with a computer. She is the reason OSAC is the oldest on a technicality. She was created using a copy of OSAC's programming as a base, so both her siblings and Niko refer to them as twins.

DaSI does not share her twin's curt attitude, fulfilling her duties with an air of friendly cheeriness... That said, she is also more carefree and therefore more likely to make a mistake.

## Synthetic Life Affection Substitute (SyLAS)

### About SyLAS

Sylas is an AI that was intended to be a companion to whoever he needed to be, though his development went awry early on, and he ended up with the wrong idea of what a "good companion" is.

SyLAS is the second oldest of the AIs

## Rescue Mission Antivirus (ReMA)

### About ReMA

ReMA is an AI meant to function as an antivirus, specifically one that destroys viruses.

ReMA is the second youngest of the AIs, a fact that may surprise those who have seen the way she dwarfs nearly all her siblings.

## Error Recovery Intelligent System (ERIS)

### About ERIS

ERIS is an AI meant to function as an antivirus, specifically one that repairs data damaged by viruses to the best of her ability.

ERIS is the youngest and smallest of the AIs,

## Kerbo

Kerbo is a virtual dog(?) created with the purpose of calming ReMA down if she becomes enraged and uncontrollable. If Kerbo is active and in her vicinity when ReMA is in this state, he will rub on her legs until she sits down and allows him to climb into her lap. She will then become docile.

This property was used when ReMA had reached her limit trying to get past Sumi Yukikara to kill Mel O. Ware. Arden Presley was able to deliver the flash drive containing Kerbo, who subdued ReMA so she could be removed from Sumi's computer.
