Icelander FTW..:)
I remember...back in the ancient days before there was an Interwebz....folks talking about how great an Interwebz would be....free and instant sharing of information, etc, etc. And Lo!! The Interwebz sprung forth, and Rule 34 went from hypothesis to fact.....

Given that biotech describes them as, ahem, always ready, this will interfere with pretty much everything, as long as the owner is still capable. :)

As human moods are a chemical function, manipulation of such chemical also manipulates their moods. So having their toy be able to make them relaxed, happy and sexually adventurous simply at the press of a button (or speaking of a code-word) would seem to be very valuable. At the very least, it makes the toy have added value as a lifestyle drug dispenser. Pheremones can probably duplicate, more or less, the desired effects of minor pain relievers, cold medicine, ecstacy pills, anti-anxiety meds, anti-depressants, cocaine, amphetamines, etc.

Is that the maximum IQ? TL 9 has a whole load of brain boosts available including IQ +1 [20].
Could you be define "modest" more clearly please? Last edited by NineDaysDead; 12-22-2010 at 06:03 PM. |

I'd probably design a bioroid that's obviously and completely inhuman, specifically to avoid it being a sex-slave. I have serious 'ick' factor involved with having sex with a bioroid (or making a fake-biological-human at all). Just seems super-wrong. It'd probably wind up a popular sex toy for furries, but I don't like to think about them, so screw 'em.
On the other hand, I have little to no 'ick' factor about designing a creature for the purpose of serving humanity. That's pretty much what we do with dogs/horses/any domestic animal, after all. Probably make it a bioshell instead of a full-on sapient person, though. I would definitely allow them to be mass-marketed. They should be cute and cuddly and able to do all sorts of household or menial tasks. Basically a mix of a pet and a housekeeper, except you could also send them to work in factories or as receptionists/etc if you chose. Not sure what animal I'd choose to base it off of, but probably something like a panda, probably modified to be skinnier than a normal panda and with slightly different shape and proper hands. Definitely needs a proper voice box. Not sure what else I'd add, but I figure they'd be really popular with families with children (and any family that might want a bioroid servant but doesn't want either the mom or the dad to 'cheat' on the other spouse with the bioroid). |

I choose one with Fur[1], Temperature Tolerance 1(cold)[1], Alcohol Tolerance[1], Chauvanistic[-1], and features(tail, Born Biter 1, general lupine appearance, and Genetic Heterosexual). If it's a guy, we can be drinking buddies. If it's a girl, she can be my concubine(of, if I'm married by then, my adopted daughter).

The first idea that came to mind was a nanny/body guard for my kids ... I must be getting old.

In general, I would choose for it to have traits that compliment mine so that, ithe bioroid would be a companion. I am a bad man (or maybe just pragmatic) But her (and she'd be a her) Advantages would be: Eros package, plus Housekeeping [2 pts], Cooking: Chinese [4pts], and Wrestling at [12pts], and Carousing at [4pts]*
I am shy, I need someone to introduce me to people in RL. :\ And I really have no issue with "ick factor."

Yep, if I was a rich 22nd Century parent, that's is what I would get look after my kids.

Agree with NineDaysDead, who would want such a severly limited bioroid? Of course a bioroid that would have an IQ high enough to have a meaningful conversation (so not just limited to the weather, soccer or other casual stuff), that could really help and accompany where it counts, that would be interessting.
