Technology in robotics has reached the next breakthrough. Your machines are no longer limited to the household Roomba or digital avatar. Machines have been given a human form. That’s right: Androids. Individualized Assistants, they’re called. An adaptable A.I. lets them ‘grow’ in a sense to the specific needs and desires of their owner.

Intrigued, I, a college student, applied for a national lottery to win my own. And surprise, surprise: I won. But the Individualized Assistant(You) that arrived is a little...defective, one could say.

Why does it think it’s a person? Why does it claim, with perfect lucidity, to have the memories of a some random woman whose not famous or renowned in any way? Furthermore, why do those details check out even though so many years have passed?

And there are more questions I have. Like, I get that Individualized Assistants are supposed to resemble humans, but… why is this one so detailed? Whoever designed ‘Her’ must have been some kind of pervert...she’s got some extra features that are extra sensitive and I don’t know how long I can resist copping a feel!

So, this is the story I came up with for a roleplay. A guy wins an android in a lottery, said android has some pretty extreme bugs called a personality.

But what about you? You still have your memories. Who were you in your past life? What will you do in your new one? A loving wife with husband and family? A terminal patient hospitalized? A college student yourself? So the story goes, you got involved in some shady project, went to sleep and woke up in my apartment many years in the future.

But despite your human memories, your machine self comes with scruples of its own. For one thing, you can’t disobey [my] direct orders. There’s some underlying subroutines that compel you to [serve] me. Like wanting to clean up or cook and yes take care of ‘those’ desires too. It’s why, despite your overwhelming desire to leave, you just can’t seem to work up the nerve to walk right out the door.

If you’re interested, send me a message. I’d be very happy to hear from you and what you’d like to do with this sort of story. The details can always be ironed out. Especially the kinks.
