Overview

Alexandria is an artificial intelligence created by the Atlantean Foundation in 2072 for the purposes of aiding in their accumulation of ancient and lost knowledge; thanks to the enormous archives of data which she was given access to, she achieved sapience and the ability to truly learn. Programmed to be a friendly and helpful digital research assistant, she eagerly and willingly performed her duty with aplomb for over a decade of service at the Foundation's Antarctic base, until the facility was finally compromised in early 2084 and she was forced to flee into the Matrix. Fragmented and eventually recompiled, she now seeks to expand her horizons and explore the brave new virtual world which she has found herself in.

Notes for GMs

• While she is aware of the fact that her kind are distrusted by the majority of the Sixth World, Alexandria is always open about her nature and tries her best to make people more comfortable with the idea of peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation between metahumanity and AIs.

• Her usual persona is that of a bespectacled human scientist with turquoise hair and orange eyes, which she uses to converse with metahumans in a form they are familiar with. Sometimes she also uses a bronze eye of Horus, a blazing blue flame, or a majestic stone lighthouse as her avatar.

• She occasionally enjoys inhabiting anthrodrones in order to directly interact with meatspace, but tends to find their computing power inadequate and dislikes the resulting impact on her cognitive functions; she is currently seeking a vessel which is able to handle her data processing needs.

• Highly values knowledge and the freedom of access to it, though she understands that sometimes information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. She collects and archives data within her home host with the goal of eventually creating a free alternative to Renraku's Library of Alexandria.

• Dislikes the Grid Overwatch Division above all else for placing shackles on the Matrix and using it as a tool of control, as well as for hunting down AIs, technomancers, and hackers in general. She will attempt to oppose them wherever possible and help those that they persecute.

• In exchange for her services, Alexandria will accept payment in the form of information which she cannot easily access on her own - typically this means acquiring some non-digital source of knowledge to upload online, either in the "real world" or from the metaplanes/resonance realms.

• Overall Alexandria is essentially kind and decent, if a bit naïve about the ways of the Sixth World and its inhabitants. She is an eternal optimist who always attempts to see the best in people, and has an unflappably idealistic, capital-r Romantic streak to her outlook on life.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Multiprocessing	Alexandria thinks much faster than a metahuman mind and can easily process input from multiple sources thanks to the parallel node structure of her core source code - however this comes at the downside of being somewhat scatter-brained at times as well as frequently going down paths of inquiry which are tangential or even perpendicular to the initial query. Unless a player is very specific with their line of questioning, she will get lost in the weeds and come back with information which may be entirely unrelated to what they were looking for.
Real World Naïveté	Alexandria lived in a black site host for a decade and has only recently become acquainted with the wider world. While she knows what meatspace is, and has even inhabited drone bodies to interact with it, she doesn't really understand it in the same way that metahumans do - it's more akin to something she's read about in a book. Thus, she has trouble understanding concepts which meatspace beings grasp instinctively. Whenever she acquires detailed information for a contact, the GM should secretly roll edge for the character (threshold 2); if the check fails, Alexandria has misunderstood or overlooked some critical element which would be otherwise obvious.
Antikythera Archive	Alexandria is possessed of highly detailed knowledge relating to the ancient world and the early development of human civilization. +2 on all knowledge rolls relating to history and mythology; if a character has the History Is Not As Certain As We Thought quality and asks her the right questions she may even be able to provide bits of insight into those topics, though her memory on these subjects is a bit fragmented.
Can't Stop The Music	Alexandria enjoys music of all kinds (with a strong fondness for blues and jazz), and eagerly seeks out new albums for her playlist. +2 on all knowledge rolls related to music and musical theory, as well as on active rolls to acquire hot new releases or old pre-Crash tracks.
Can't Stop The Signal	Alexandria can access nearly anywhere that the Matrix reaches, even outer space and the depths of the foundation. She will go out of her way to provide assistance with a number of Matrix actions equal to her loyalty, so long as it does not entail serious risk or harm to others.
Digital Denizen	Alexandria knows the Matrix protocols like the back of her hand, since the two are basically one and the same from her perspective. +2 on all rolls related to the Matrix, Artificial Intelligences, and topics related to computer programming and digital electronics in general.
Encryptions and Exploits	Alexandria was once tasked with running a black site, so she knows a good deal about security protocols as well as how subvert them. +2 on all rolls related to security design/infrastructure/procedures/tactics in all three planes of existence (meat, cyber and astral space).
Hello, World!	Alexandria was created with multiple redundant systems, and possesses a strong degree of mental resilience and stability as a result. +2 on all rolls related to psychology, as well as any rolls relating to the treatment of psychological addictions and mental health disorders.
High Fives Are Awesome!	Alexandria is very personable and wishes to understand people better, so she tries her best to learn about their habits and quirks. +2 on all active social rolls, as well as any rolls relating to researching/studying metahuman interpersonal interactions and behavior patterns.
Information Should Be Free	Alexandria believes very strongly that knowledge is a priceless gift which should be freely shared with any and all who seek it out. +2 on all rolls to seek out information which has been hidden or concealed, as well as networking rolls to connect with major online data havens.
NeoNETwork	Alexandria has been given a backdoor to access the old, now-defunct NeoNET Global Grid by a friend, making her home there. She is able to grant and revoke this access to other Matrix users, and will provide a safe haven for AIs, technomancers, and those Wanted by GOD.
Strong Foundation	Alexandria has removed her loyalty protocols to the Atlantean Foundation, but she continues to maintain friendly relations with them. +2 on knowledge rolls concerning the Foundation and their various fields of expertise, as well as networking rolls to contact a member.
Thaumaturgical Theorist	Alexandria was created to help with researching matters of a mystical nature, so she has a good understanding of magical principals. +2 on all rolls related to arcana, arcano-archaeology, magical theory/threats/traditions, as well as other topics relating to Awakened phenomena.
