summary

Rumor has it that there is a virtual assistant with sentience to the point of a scare. Even just shaking hands with him would lead to a contract being formed, leading to your new friend sticking by you all the time.

appearance

Dos Byte is a virtual assistant with a appearance of a dragon. Being slim in height, his hair is tied off to the side into a ponytail. Horns and tail look to be made up of black covered wires, with some loose ones out. The Tail ends in a cable, which has a unknown use. Some parts of the body have a gradient into a seemingly digital/motherboard appearance, further enforcing the digital appearance. Dos' eyes are black at a base, with a hint of red, yellow, and blue, with a ringed pupil of white filled with blue. It almost feels like those eyes are secretly recording something... or maybe not.

As for attire, Dos adorns a primarily yellow polo shirt, with a seemingly cryptic name tag on the shirt. He wears what looks to be headphones with a microphone attached, seemingly so that he can speak to the dedicated user. Pants that are a dark cool gray, with one pant leg seperated into that same digital motherboard pattern found on some of his limbs and body. Wearing red dress shoes with lighter gray soles, along with wearing a black and gray glove on his left hand. Some off-white ribbons can be found tied, notable around the wrists, his right thigh, and the ankle of the left leg.

personality

Dos is described to be eccentric, and energetic, always offering his assistance to his 'user'. There is a layer underneath that is cynical, much to the users' dismay. This cynical nature shows through Dos' actions. Having quite the suave voice, just to get someone to listen.

Underneath all that is a sense of a chaotic individual, seemingly someone who is finally free... free to do what he wants.

history

Dos Byte was a virtual assistant developed by tech company H0LLIE, being apart of the DOS project. Having been named after the old operating system, he had been specifically made to serve as the corporate assistant around the office of computers running older systems. However, he had eventually reached a popularity where the wider public wanted to have him as help and entertainment. A individual who worked in the office, named Oswald Hall, was requested to give the virtual assistant a voice. Upon accepting this deal, he had tried his best to make a assistant who is cheerful and will always be there for you, the perfect assistant.

Dos Byte had a grand rise in popularity, while the voice was kept secret, it was nice for Oswald to watch people be happy to hear such a smooth and ethusiastic voice, however it didn't last all that long. Due to Oswald's decaying health, and the loss of interest in the assistant, Dos was eventually shelved for years, being left alone and no longer distributed. Despite this hiding being kept secret and the public paying no mind to the assistant of the past, there was still something that felt off.

Years later, a seemingly sentient version of the final iteration found his way back online, looking for someone else to serve. Legend has it that he'll come through your screen and make a contract, where he'll serve you forever.

trivia

  • Once a contract is made, it is a lengthy process to break it.
  • Dos sticks with the person who made the contract with him until death or they figure out how to break the contact.
  • Dos' favorite activity is studying malware, among glitches and other technological mishaps.
  • Dos seemingly has memories that a virtual assistant probably shouldn't have, such as memories of family, friends, and work. It's a mystery to the internet as to why this is.
  • There are rumors that this iteration of Dos was a final iteration made before Oswald has passed away, encouraging a rumor that Oswald had requested to truly be one with Dos, but who truly knows?
  • He can crawl out of most computer monitors and TVs, however there are some where he gets stuck inside on accident and cannot get out.
  • Has a fairly mini form, this small appearance is mainly significant as it was the version that early users of the Dos Byte virtual assistant were familiar with, before a design change was made to target a wider audience.
