Lawsets and You: A list of all currently available Servant lawsets.
(I intend to try something a bit different with this character. I've always been a fan of playing machines, but sometimes it can be difficult to do it properly without them essentially becoming just "people but metal." As a fan of some of the ideas behind the Asimov Laws, I decided the best way to do justice with the idea of a sentient machine was to guarantee it had its own laws... and because I like to spice things up a bit, there are LOTS.
On my first post in any thread I intend to join, I will put all of the lawsets into a random number generator, and have one chosen. That will serve as the "personality" of Servant for the remainder of that thread, or until something occurs which forces a new LAW SYNC: Host destruction, or forced disconnect between a host and Servant OS core, or possibly even something simple like a virus.
I reserve the right to re-roll the lawset once if I think it'll make for a better story than what I've selected, and am arguably open for threads with people if they'd like to catch Servant operating on a particular lawset, though, I do think it's a bit more fun if its just totally random.)
