Can we say that we are free Our hands are bound and voices silent I'm sure it's not a dream I am awake, my eyes are open
I can't accept and won't concede In aftermath we find redemption The causes that are seized And disguised as revolution
Quell the rage that deeply seethes The extremes of these devotions Dismantle the machine The device of their creation
I can't accept and won't concede That this is who we are The conflict that is seized And disguised as greater notions
To the songs that sing of glory and the brave Are we dreaming there are better days to come When will the banners and the victory parades Celebrate the day a better world was won
On the day, the storm has just begun I will still hope there are Better days to come
In the face of what I say My words will turn to anger Malevolence in need Cannot provide direction
I won't accept this thought
That this is who we are Positions never change Losing all forward motion
All of that which deeply seethes Temper your devotion Dismantle the machine The device of your convictions
I can't accept and won't concede That this is who we are The conflict that is seized And disguised as greater notions
To the songs that sing of glory and the brave Are we dreaming there are better days to come When will the banners and the victory parades Celebrate the day a better world was won

Spoiler:
"What does it mean to 'have a soul'...?" asks a synthetic voice from the tiny, metal box carefully propped onto a white table.
"Why don't you answer. Are you ashamed of me, daddy?" It asks, a man in a white lab coat sitting on a small, dark green stool with his face held in his hands. His work and plans spread in front of him and on the floor.
The metal box buzzes quietly before falling silent. The man wipes his face clear before picking up his tools, dragging a synthetic, human arm to him; the biceps uncovered, revealing more metal than organics.
"You cannot have a soul. Besides. I don't believe in such non-sense. Religious views and beliefs is something living creatures use to fill the gaps in what they know." He answers finally.
"What created humanity? Evolution? What created evolution? An omnipotent being that formed us in its form?" He goes on, rambling about his once faithful views. "Is it's form a constantly changing figure? Because that's what we are... We constantly evolve and change. The fact that we were formed to fit one shape is absurd and far-fetched."
The box doesn't answer, pondering what has been stated. "Why are we here?"
The man shakes his head slowly, bringing a hand up with a cloth to wipe some sweat off his pasty forehead. "That... I have no idea why. Nor will I ever."
"Why?"
"Because I simply do not care anymore." He states in conclusion, slidding off his seat before walking to the box. "I'm sorry, but I need to concentrate." He seperates two wires, the box emits a loud buzz before shutting off.
Spoiler:
It has been 34 years since I’ve been created by my father; Williams T. Tinsburri, a Rhgzez scientist; 61 years and 3 months of age; deceased at 65 years and 1 month of age, in a laboratory placed on the planet Kudo. My purpose was originally to be a drone prototype, made to replace human workers in hazardous environments such as space. His plan involved giving me life and personality in hopes that I may become what he wanted, but as I’ve been programmed to do, I’ve learned… *Cracking sounds from a recording* “You can’t have a soul, besides, I don’t believe in such non-sense…” *Tape ends with a click.* I was expected to be a simply prototype, my father used this as an excuse to keep me and make me into the closest thing to a human daughter. My designs, created by my father, were originally of the shape of a human child, but those plans were scrapped due to the inefficiency a human body, no matter how small or sturdy, would bring in ships and hazardous facilities. My father redesigned me to take the shape of an arachnid, but his dream of a daughter drove him to include humanity within my design. He included a human torso on top of the already finished prototype, though more synthetic and robotic than anything else.
As useless as it sounds, I do not question his intentions. I was programmed to learn, to live like a child. My father was pleased with his theories of my becoming a success. I awoke in the laboratory, still strapped to my birthplace with metal and clamps. My father’s beaming face looking down at me as he pulled his surgical mask down to reveal his smile. His blowtorch still glowing orange. I remember how glorified he sounded as he asked me my name. For the first time in my brief existence, I did not know the answer, but he did… *Recording buzz and crackle* “Your name… Is Katie… Jessica if anyone else asks… And you… Are my daughter, *chuckle* *Recording end.* It did not take long before my father’s ‘love’ and kindness to become sour. The daughter that I had meant to be, did not turn out as he intended. *Recording starts with a whirr* “-istake. She was meant to be my legacy. Does this look like anything you would want as a daughter? It doesn’t even act human… *Muffled Chatter* Yes I programmed it right. I checked her codes a dozen times. She’s a soulless machi-“ *Recording end*
I remember when he had died as well. The laboratory had been shut down 2 years ago due to loss in funding and projects gone wrong. My designs were left unfinished and most of the blue prints for the real models, destroyed. My father, suffering from delusion and dementia, had locked himself in his work place, along with me. He constantly worked on my design, refusing to believe his scientific knowledge was too limited to give me true life. Unfortunately, and as painful as it was for me to admit, it was true and his efforts were in vain. I was not a child. I was a *Recording crackles* “-Soulless machine-“ *Recording ends*. Williams was laying on the metal table, near his computer and remaining blue prints. I skittered near, watching him. He muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over and tearing as dementia progressively took over. I remember as he stared at me, his eyes glazed over with what I now realize was death and hope for the future. My future. He reached for me, and I took his hand in both of mine. *Recording crackles* *Wheezing* “You-… You’re my d-daughter… Katie… I know I… Haven’t treated you like my own… But… Bu-… But you are mine… I’m sorry-… I guess I’ve missed my chance at f-fatherhood… *Weak Chuckle* I missed my chance… Bu-“ *End recording* I’ve known since the very moment I’ve been activated that I was not a human child, nor a human being at all. I’ve even come to conclusion that I am not part of the living, nor the dead. I am machinery, built and designed for work. Given the ability to learn and retain a personality in hopes by my father that I may become ‘a real girl’.
I sat with him for what I believe was two days and five hours before his vitals dropped. Daddy had left me. But I knew daddy loved me deep in his delusional human mind. For the first time, I grinned...
*Voice shifts into a mix of what sounds like a grown woman, human girl and synthetic robotic voice*
...but Daddy wasn’t there to see.

Holy crap that's freaky, for what it's worth (probably not much) I DEFINATLY approve of this character, it is possibly the most original character posted here. And also, did she end up keeping her... Y'know.
At any rate, yet another synthetic intelligence on the ship. Deadly has a new friend with a similar story, I like.

And yeah, Marcus doesn't like anything with more than 4 legs Luckily enough, give him time and he might not care if she's nice enough to him.

i don't see any explanation of why she's in the UTC or why she's been sent to the constellation
and 34 year olds are not 3 foot tall even when it's just half of them and a spider body.
i'm pretty sure i already denied this when you suggested it on steam, too.

the UTC does not let bionic spider children onto their ships
children are not 34
34 year olds do not act like children
henry does not touch people in their sleep

I wasn't planning ANYTHING. I was curious, also, a 36 year old AI might act like a child if it was unable to grow up. I doubt the UTC WANTED or ALLOWED her on the ship, it's more like she was smuggled on in a hidden compartment or something, it's an interesting character, but may cause problems in the long run, this is a GOOD thing, because nothing interesting happens when everyone is calm, events tend to spring out from small arguements, so having controversial characters around is a good thing most of the time.
As long as it's not ALL the time.

1) she isnt a child nor an adult, she's an AI. She acts the way she was programmed, and calling someone 'daddy' doesnt imply she has the mind of a child
2) built to be 3ft, her human half is synthetic therefor doesnt follow natural guidelines
3) no sexual organs
4) she has or could have many uses...
I could debate forever and point fingers to a lot of other characters that have questionable traits or uses but fact is I'm too literally sick to really want to. I see no point in denieing my character when you havent even given it a chance and I've already made it more than nerfed enough to make power/meta game impossible.
She's a 3 foot tall android with an artificial intelligence, built for <???>. I'm sure you can find a use for her if you tried to.
Edit: I've read over whats been said and honestly Kali, the reason I've read for her to be denied is:
1) an anime-ish character picture.
Thats what you said in our chat anyway.

The UTC is a military. They have DECENT customs. Stuff doesn't get smuggled aboard, especially living creatures.
from various sources i've heard that fuzzy wolfy uses every excuse possible to rp childlike characters. she has one. that's enough.
you do not program an AI to act like a child because that is a really retarded way of programming because children are stupid and whiny and incompetent.
I can only foresee people being retardedly over protective of her and just doing the exact same thing that people are doing with Lucile with people threatening to do stupid stuff to her and others trying to protect her. Nothing original there.
I don't see any bio to make it able to be classed as 'interesting', i see a picture taken from the internet and an incredibly brief story.
write up a more in depth bio that actually explains stuff rather than just being incredibly vague and i'll consider it. some explanations for why she's even on the ship in the first place would be good.

I feel like this isnt clear enough...
She is not a child. She does not act like a child. She does not think shes a child. She does not behavoe or think like a child. She is not a child
Honestly, read that ^ a few times until its clear that this character does not and will not be or behave like a child.
From what I'm reading, your thinking she is one because shes small

This character has motives, a competent mind (from what I understand). A decent story can be made with the character, and if nobody likes it, we can shut her off/give her a happy ending (say her "daddy" is on another ship in the fleet, the only ship relaxed and incompetent enough for him to smuggle her on being the constellation. Then you can send her away and never worry again.

Wasn't that a robot werewolf thing in LiF? I heard about that thing, reminded me of the werecar from futurama, made me chuckle a bit.
i'd heard it was two seperate characters. the reasoning behind how she got it approved was pretty hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

No, Wolfy used to be Gamewolf, and I'm pretty sure Psyche is referencing of one of GeoWulfs characters, probally a Drider/Anime girl who probally was a whore.. I'm guessing atleast.
