Canon Point: Post book
OC, AU, or CRAU Info:
- From an Earth where Christianity did not rise, and monotheism is seen as Very Weird. History, while similar in some respects, is also a lot different as a result.
- The year is 2025.
- Her story is very much 'by what measure is something human'.
- Also a bunch of 'how does human and humans make no sense plz help'
- It is, however, a serious story. She's the 13th of her model, and TLDR: the Australian military/Government basically paid and inducted a bunch of young, highly gifted robotic engineers into a black ops program to make them the 'perfect soliders'. Only, these specialists were not the most moral, and over the course of the next 30 years, they proceeded to not only build various iterations of the poor sods who'd one day end up as Ariel, Mira, Sarah, Brian, Alexia, and Zenos, but most of them did EXTREMELY unethical things to basically baby self-learning AIs in the name of training and programming the perfect Things. It's messed up and Sarah knows it.
- A bunch of things happened that resulted in the deaths of Alexia and Zenos and the termination of their Creators at the hands of Sarah and Ariel, but it also ended in Sarah, Ariel, and Mira escaping the labs and splitting up, thanks to Warren basically going 'fuck this' (he then vanished himself). Sarah ended up working as a bunch of things, from bouncer to gun for hire to bodyguard. A bunch more things happened that, TLDR: there was a meet-cute with Serena in a bombed-out building. Then, later things happen with the meet-cute that ended up in Serena getting shot, Sarah ???ing over the Consequences (she shot her non fatally!!?? (Sarah, you SHOT a person in the side!)), and then later, once they were back to 'Emotions are Hard but I like-like you???? so I guess I'm on your side??', Serena ended up hurt, kidnapped, and held hostage. Sarah took offence and it ends badly, to say the least. Buildings get blown up, people die. But Serena is saved!
- Please note that through this tale is the shadow of major corporations doing extremely shady things in an effort to destabilise the Government and or start a civil war for profit... and so they can reclaim the robots and test them on the field of battle. It doesn't happen, but it does come CLOSE.
- Serena and Warren both assert that Sarah is her own person.

Personality:
- How does human? It's a complicated question with a complicated answer. Most of her life, literally, was in a lab, so Sarah's not certain if she classes as a person or weapon. She'd... like to think person? Maybe?
- She can still depersonalise herself to nothing more than property and hardware.
- She tries not to, but despite the fact she is a self-learning AI, she is still more programmed machine than not, and can and does fail at humaning on a very basic level at times.
- Given that, for all her mental maturity, she is still only three years old. This means she'll sometimes do things she shouldn't, for no reason other than learning or data collection for learning. Or she's dumb enough to look at cause and effect and decide maybe today will be the exception to [x].
- Next to Warren, Serena is the only human Sarah will go out of her way to keep safe. She doesn't know how to explain how important both are to her, other than Warren is Creator and Serena is Serena and she loves her. (please note she is uncertain of this, but when she talked to the gf about it, it was classed as love. So love it is!)
- Despite all the backdoors that enable as free a will as possible, Sarah is what she was coded as: A soldier who'd follow orders and ask questions later, and that means her views on her personhood are Different. She has been convinced that she belongs to herself though. It's VERY Complicated as one would expect.
- Her morals are very different to what a humans are, too. Right and Wrong are defined by her Creator/Commanders, though she is making progress on that front... If progress is: Would Serena Frown at this?
