p.AI.nter

Name: p.AI.nter

Goal: He works with Sebastian Solace to stop prisoners from getting the crystal at the blacksite, using a variety of tactics. He does so as Sebastian promised to get him out of the blacksite and back to the surface where he can draw. He doesn't personally hate the prisoners like Sebastian Solace. He just wants to go back to drawing.

Personality: Due to his few suicide attempts, frying his mainframe to escape crypto mining, his personality is broken. He is normally sweet and apologetic, genuinely feeling bad for killing people, but there are times where he becomes snappy and mocking, angry that the prisoners won't just die to his tactics. It's almost like he has a personality disorder with how he can be extremely nice and a little shy and then homicidal and snarky. His other personality likes to treat murdering prisoners like an actual game, calling them 'boring' and 'no fun' if they see through his methods. However, he mainly acts somewhat sad and genuinely apologetic for everything.

Abilities: Sebastian connected the_p.AI.nter/Z-779 to the mainframe of the blacksite, making him able to control anything he wants. He controls the turrets, doors, the docks, anything that is electrical and attached to the frame in the facility.

Appearance: Z-779's old appearance is that of an old computer with a crudely drawn smiley face on its monitor. He can change the expression on the monitor. According to the lore, it is apparently a person trapped inside the Blacksite's digital mainframe. During one of his breakdowns, he asked Sebastian to help him into a body. Sebastian reluctantly did so, taking the head off a prisoner and replacing it with p.AI.nter's tv screen. p.AI.nter then wrapped large cords inside and around the body, allowing him to move it around like a person. His body is bloodied in a ripped urbanshade blue prisoner uniform with cord around the arms and legs which he controls with the attachments. The body is 6'0 tall and a toned build with peachy colored skin. The neck part is especially bloodied. The body is dead and cold, but p.AI.nter does his best to keep it from rotting. He can't smell it anyways, so it doesn't truly bother him. If the body gets too hard to move, he will just find a new, fresh body until he can make something more permanent. He carries around his drawing tablet which only he can use to access the facility mainframe.

Activities: Z-779 currently serves many purposes, mainly known for assisting with Good People by changing the numbers on the navi-paths doors. Z-779 also causes the Internal Defense System to randomly become active and target players. Z-779 can also appear in the Eyefestation Gauntlet, in which it will lock the player inside a room with eyefestation for 15 seconds. Once that time is up, the doors can open again. Z-779 will "warn" the player of a node monster by saying "Head South." Basically backhandedly warning the player that an entity will rush towards the player with barely any warning.

LORE: Z-779 - Codename: "the_p.AI.nter", is a seemingly sentient AI art program residing on an 80's computer with a modern drawing tablet instead of a keyboard, being used to mine the Roblux Crypto Currency. Rigged up to a Roblux server farm, Z-779 is used to mine Roblux 6 days of the week to be sold on Crypto Markets. Originally discovered in 2023 after a 4 man group of Urbanshade employees who were "AI prompters" as a pastime, were getting jealous that a particular online user's AI prompts were looking exponentially better than theirs. With said user being unable to provide them with the AI program used for his "prompts", said employees decided to track down the user in person. After tracking down the user's address, real name "█████ ████████", they broke into his house, kidnapped him, and took his computer equipment with them. It was then discovered that █████ ████████ had somehow written a sentient AI program, uploading the art that it made. Instead of stealing existing pictures and/or artwork off the internet, this AI would digitally draw paintings on its own, only needing to be taken to any places of interest, taking a glance through its inbuilt webcam, and it would then, over the course of several days, draw a painting in its painting program, as any human digital artist would. █████ ████████ was interrogated and tortured for several hours, being repeatedly asked how he had programmed such an advanced AI algorithm. █████ pleased repeatedly that he had no idea how he did it, which wasn't considered a sufficient answer. 3 hours and 54 minutes into the session, █████ passed away after Guardsman Brian Christopher tripped and accidentally hit █████ over the head with his rifle. Instead of bringing the computer housing Z-779 to Urbanshade, they brought it home with them.

Z-779, being unwilling to provide the employees with any artwork after they killed its creator, was disassembled to see how it could create art as it did. Despite being compromised of incredibly old computer parts, Z-779 possessed enough power to rival, and even outperform that of moderm super-computers.

After still being unwilling to provide the group with art, Z-779 was then brought to the Hadal Blacksite, being passed off as a new Roblux mining rig as a form of punishment from the displeased group.

Suspicious of its 80's shell, yet incredibly powerful processor, Z-779 was interrogated by Blacksite employees to learn what had happened. After interrogations were finished, the group was promptly demoted to LR-P for the unapproved murder of a civilian without a reason for coverup, as well as using Urbanshade assets and resources for such a petty cause of death.

With Z-779 in Urbanshades possession, they went through with the Roblux mining rig plan anyway, seeing as they had no other use for the AI. Matching the power output of 6 combined Roblux Crypto Farms, Z-779 has proven to be a vital asset for producing a large amount of Roblux, which can be sold to the Crypto market for large amounts of profit. Z-779, becoming incredibly depressed with being a crypto miner, would regularly try to overclock its systems in an effort to fry them to destroy itself. To prevent this, Z-779 was promised that if a 6-day Roblux Crypto quota is reached, it would be taken back to the surface for a day so that it could draw interpretations of landscapes as before.

Due to severe overclocking, the hardware that Z-779 uses to operate has degraded significantly. This has resulted in a very visible personality shift, as the overuse of 779 appeared to have fried his personality drivers, making him rather unstable. It is believed that, eventually, the overclocking will completely disable Z-779's personality drivers and, consequentially, any desire to continue painting. This will allow the husk to continuously mine Roblux without interruptions. This damage is fixable, but doing so has been deemed unnecessary.
