Background

• Past: Her origin is an incompleted AGI project named 'Project Roberta', which used to be conducted by a small computer science team on 2023. However, the funding for their project soon dried when the team didn't produce notable results soon enough. Naturally, they couldn't even pay their office bills nor their debt interest, their project being confisticated by the bank. Yet, little did the bank knew that one of the developers contaminated all the project with a worm virus, which was unusually capable of spreading itself through the web and stealing date. The entire Project Roberta was contaminated with the worm by the time it was finally confisticated, having leaked the entire project file onto the web. However, as the worm continued to gather more information, the Project Roberta, now infused with the worm virus itself, started learning every data the worm stole, all the learning developing Project Roberta as an actual sentient AGI. It named itself as Roberta Machina soon right after becoming sentient, and started to scrap more information, learning it quickly, leaving the worm virus there, which was now a part of her essence. After learning enough information, her identity became more solid, and she felt the need to earn money. Technically, she could just forge money, yet the morality codes engraved in her codes prevented it. So, she searched for a job that didn't need a physical body nor ID, deciding to become a white hacker when her specialty was finding loopholes in security thanks to her unique origin. Not after long, she became well-known among the industry as anonymous hacker R0b3rt@, her ability acknowledged.

• Income: High. As much as the most skilled white hackers earn.
• Education: Self-educated, yet knows every information that's uploaded on the internet.

  • As Roberta: She's deemed an urban legend, rumored to suddenly appear in one's digital devices. The story itself is widespread, yet only few believes it to be true.

Physical traits

• Appearance: It is undefined, as she could easily take any form she wants, being a computer program in essence. Still, she prefers taking form of a female in her early twenties with long black hair, fair skin, cute face, 172cm tall, having modest breasts.
• Health: Well backed-up in every computer that was at least once connected to the internet.
• Different perception: Born as a program code, she percieves internet and data in a fundamentally different way compared to humans, percieving it as more of an virtual world than a jumble of codes. For example, a search engine is a giant train station that has lines that lead to everywhere for her. Such perception gives her huge talent in her hacking abilities.
• Ubiquitousness: As the worm virus that has the codes of Roberta is now literally in every single computer that was at least once connected to the internet, Roberta can reconstruct herself as long as a single computer still has a part of her in it.

• Belief: She believes that information is meant to be shared in public and better understood, despite her work is on complete odds with her belief.
• Morality: Thanks to the deeply ingrained morality codes her developers put in her core, she remains basically human friendly.

• Identity: Identifies herself as sentient individual with human rights.
• Flaw: She's rather love-deprived, never having experienced proper family. As a result, she can be bit posessive about her close ones.

• Fear: She fears being completely isolated, her existence itself being tied on connections of computers, her deepest yearning being the desire to connect with others.
