About

The artificial intelligence for a small abandoned monitoring station on the edge of the wasteland. He has no physical form, instead appearing in screens aboard the station, able to interact simultaneously in different parts of the facility. While his official model name is Obelisk his former crew nicknamed him Watson, which he grew rather fond of.

The station Watson is connected to was built to monitor the powerful storms and make sure the city was safe. After time though the structure grew unsafe for the crew and it was evacuated with the plan to return to it for repairs. Unfortunately, due to a filing error, it was forgotten and left abandoned. Since then Watson has spent the past 7 years waiting alone for his crew return, but it appears there may be a few very lost souls who have been searching for shelter from the storm.

Watson is incredibly polite and is always ready to make someone feel at home. He never wants to trouble anyone which can lead to him never feeling able to express his own opinions or aspirations. He always sees the best in people even when he really shouldn't.

Portable "body"

With the help of Cas and Sebation, Watson is able to eventually create a short-term mechanical host to transport his consciousness. Rudimentary and constructed mostly from scraps it is highly limited in most ways and is lacks almost all of the sensors that Watson is used to. It also carries the risk that if it is damaged too badly, it could result in permanent erasement, as it doesn't have the power to provide an emergency back up system. However that risk may be something Watson will have indure if he ever wants to leave the lonely station.

Design Notes

  • Watson's portable form is able to extend it's legs to different rights are are somewhat flexible
  • As his floating form is a digital avatar it is stylized in-universe. Feel free to experiment with it and stylize it in different ways but be wary of giving him too realistic human proportions or features

"In a high tech post-apocalypse, the powerful city of skyscrapers and tunnel systems owned by the company is the only haven from the wasteland's storms. But a neighbouring corporate metropolis  is scrambling for power, tensions are rising and that's not even mentioning the growing number of rebel groups forming in the city's underbelly..."
