Overview

Kristallkind is an AI on the Berlin grid. Its persona takes the form of a 12-year-old girl, entirely made from blue and black crystals. Its personality is not too far off from its appearance either. It's generally rather curious, kind-hearted and rather childish-naive. It often doesn't fully think through the consequences of its actions and has a rather simple understanding of what's good and right. On the other side, it's still a highly calculating AI, which is very much capable of understanding highly complex relations and using them to its benefit.

It appears shortly after the second crash as a conglomerate of many different personality fragments. And for a yet unknown reason, has access to large amounts of nuyen.

GM Notes

• Normally, Kristallkind speaks and acts rather childlike. It uses relatively simple words and sometimes incoherent descriptions. It can have a short attention span when it finds things to be uninteresting.
• It becomes much more focused when it is in 'AI mode'. Then its speech is also more 'matter of fact' than childish.
• Kristallkind is genuinely a good and kind person. If it can help people, it will do so. It generally also likes to share information when it finds interesting things.
• Kristallkind is more capable when it's not bound by the contact rules. If it acts for its own sake, then use pools fitting for a capable, but not super-powerful AI.
• Payment-wise wise it isn't interested in nuyen. Information and services work well for it. It also likes to just help people without an immediate benefit. Over time, it will, however get grumpy/disillusioned if the help isn't repaid in kind.
