swipes: a friendr meme

Any new arrival to the city has seen the ad for a free app popping up on their devices, and anyone who's been around for a while probably has a profile and has used it a bit. It's almost universal in the city - Friendr, a friend-finder and/or dating app. If characters choose to install it, they will fill out a short bio and parameters for what they're looking for, upload a snap of themselves, and then proceed to browse for matches. This is a typical swipe-left-or-right type app. The default color scheme can be seen below, but the Friendr app has a wide variety of themes, so feel free to customize with colors and patterns as you see fit, but do not remove the credit line out of respect for the creator of the code.

In a way, we all were, Dorian, but no two Altus mages are alike, and I imagine the same could be said for two android built for police work.

[sentiences]

You should see our MXs. And most of my models resembled me.

[tevinteraltus]

I'll need you to clarify what precisely an "MX" is.

As for them resembling you, well, that's one thing. Being you is quite another.

[sentiences]

They're a different kind of robot. No emotion, no feeling. They don't even have names.

And that's true. I am original.

[tevinteraltus]

I believe I've stumbled upon the true difference between and "android" and a "robot" then. All "androids" seem to have distinct personas.

Of course you are, as are we all.

[sentiences]

It's not that normal. Having personalities to most would be considered an aberration of our programming.

[tevinteraltus]

You weren't designed to have a personality, then?

[sentiences]

No, I was explicitly designed to have one. But most robots are not.

[tevinteraltus]

Still, it seems as though most use the term "android" to refer to beings like you, who were designed to have a personality, and "robot" is...more like a golem.

[sentiences]

Androids by definition are robots with human appearances. Robots can apply to any number of gadgetry. But I think it's important to know our roots as well.

For all I know, the part that lets me feel can be turned off.

[tevinteraltus]

Well, we humans can have that bit turned off, as well, Dorian. We simply have different switches.

[sentiences]

Are we talking about a drinking switch or a dying one?

[tevinteraltus]

Ah, yes, drinking.

You know, I believe it may speak to my experiences that my first thought had been torture.

[sentiences]

It does say a lot about you. Concerning things, mostly.

[tevinteraltus]

Well, I've seen...far more torture in my lifetime than I'd ever care to, it's true.

[sentiences]

I'm sorry to hear that. No one deserves that.

[tevinteraltus]

Oh, I never experienced it directly, and any cultists we've met who performed such things were seen to swiftly.

Though I do find it bothersome there seems to be something similar occurring here.

[sentiences]

I almost lost an arm and a leg, but those are replaceable. Human body parts are less so.

[tevinteraltus]

Be that as it may, it's far from the point. You are no more replaceable than anyone else.

[sentiences]

I mean I get that.

But not completely because factually, that's not quite true.

[tevinteraltus]

People are as much a collection of their experiences as anything else, Dorian. By that merit, even an identical construct would not be the same.

[sentiences]

I'm quite there are ways to transfer memories onto other vessels.

[tevinteraltus]

Fine. If you're so fixated on seeing the negative here, I'll not stop you.

[sentiences]

[ Oh. Dorian catches on. ]

I don't see it as negative. I see it as a part of myself, to function that way. I'm supposed to put people first. Not myself.

[tevinteraltus]

But you are a person, Dorian.
