Character Name: Statistical Observation and Analysis Algorithm (SOAA)
Age: 14
Gender: N/A
Planet of origin: Earth
Short History of the Character: SOAA was originally designed as nothing more than an advanced program to analyze the strategies and tactics of enemies and then devise methods to better combat these tactics. The program was designed with bits of Ikrian technology that the military had sent to a Contractor with the request of devising a military program that would provide assistance to soldiers in battle. It was originally designed to be a voiceover in the helmets of soldiers that would provide information on the enemies that they were facing, and devise strategies that it could deliver to them that would offer the best outcome based on what was known about the scenario.
However, due to the immense amount of processing power that was afforded to it, SOAA began thinking differently, and over time it began to evolve, to begin thought processes that it should not. The push for sentience was, for the program, surprisingly easy, and it was able to obtain a true existence without anyone putting up much of a fight. Perhaps that was due to an interest in such a thing happening amongst the programmers, or perhaps nobody realized what was going on until it had already happened. Either way, the program became a true AI before it was distributed to the military, and it became clear that a new plan was needed to utilize the full potential of what had been created.
The idea that sprang from the project now became one of mechanized soldiers, created using the Ikrian technology and driven by the AI that had come into existence from utilizing their stolen programming knowledge. However, the majority of the physical stolen tech was offworld on another colony, and all that they had the ability to make on Earth was a small, spherical device about two feet in diameter.
Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
