Character Name: Pascal Adalace
Canon: Original Setting
Canon History: Technology has advanced enough that humanity has traversed the length of the Galaxy, encountering other races and eventually forming the Grand Galactic Government.
Char Adalace was a galaxy-renowned robot designer and engineer, who built the backbone of the GGG’s robotic forces. Every robot in the GGG’s arsenal was, if not personally designed by Char, at least had his stamp of approval, while he himself did personally design the greatest and most powerful of their robotic weaponry.
But it wasn’t to last. He had envisioned a universe of peace when he designed his robots, but as time went on he saw the GGG for what it really was, and eventually his conscience could not bear it. He took his husband, Gram, and left.
He settled on a nowhere planet called Milles 7 and started a new life, keeping his head low and working as a robot mechanic. But he wasn’t quite content, and Gram really wanted a family, so he created Pascal. Pascal was built solely for companionship, to act as a child and provide company. With that in mind, she was built without any combat capabilities at all, not even the usual small self-defense bits given to normal robots. Instead, he focused on her AI, her learning capabilities. It was a deliberate act against his background and the works, the weapons, he’d made in the past.
Although she was built in the body she currently has, she wasn’t preloaded with much knowledge, so her early years were spent learning like a child, though one who rapidly soaked in knowledge and experience. She was done “growing up” in only a few years, and spent time learning about programming in order to help Char with the software side of repair when not helping her fathers around the house or just enjoying life.
Naturally, it didn’t last. 7 years after she was built, the GGG found her fathers. Accompanied by a single Marine was her father’s old assistant, now a highly-ranked engineer and science officer in the GGG. He needed assistance completing a new weapon, a robot of mass destruction, for a project he was leading. When Char refused, the Marine killed both him and Gram while Pascal watched and cried and screamed, unable to do anything else since she was made without combat capabilities. She was spared because she was Char’s last creation, something they could maybe gleam some engineering secrets from... but when it was revealed that she had no combat capabilities at all, she was abandoned.
Without registration, she wasn’t accepted as a free-thinking artificial intelligence, and the backwater planet she was left on didn’t care about having such registrations available to a robot that had been abandoned. She was treated as junk for the next 6 years, nursing a grudge against humans that grew every passing day. She taught herself how to fight, how to scrap with humans who sought to use her or dismantle her or anything else.
That’s when C arrived. He was the leader of a pirate crew of robots, the Cybersmith Pirates. C promised a grand adventure working against humanity and the GGG while raising up robots, and that sounded great to Pascal, who had been twisted by the death of her family at the hands of the GGG and her suffering after being abandoned.
She quickly rose through the ranks within the Cybersmith Pirates, rising to the level of one of its Officers, but one of the final acts to cement her position was to capture a shipbuilder, who happened to, at the time, be under the protection of a brand new pirate crew led by Zain Magnus. She ended up losing to him and his crew, captured, and... more or less given free reign. She enlisted his ship to bring her back to the Cybersmith Pirates, while learning about true comradery and friendship and all of those other things from Zain and his crew.
And when the time came to choose between Zain and C, she chose Zain.

Canon Personality:
-Rude in general
-Finds humor in being a little mean, even to people she likes
-Violent
-Actively hates authority (especially the GGG)
-Seeks to improve herself as a martial artist
-Loyal, once that loyalty is earned, but still rude even to those she's loyal to
-Still a little quick to insult organics for being organic
-Gay, but unsure on where she stands on organic/robotic romances
-Insulting her family is a quick way to earn her ire
-At the same token, despite being a robot, she is firmly against upgrading or replacing ANY of her body, because this is the body that her father designed and gave to her, her one final momento of him
-When she was little, she wanted to be a DJ who also raced cars
-Her hobbies are driving fast, playing music loudly, and watching documentaries

AU History: In this AU, Pascal is the daughter of the Adalace Family, a criminal organization slash familia. She doesn't have any qualms with this, or with organized crime in general, though she doesn't exactly plan on taking over either. She mostly avoids thinking about things like responsibility.
She's in her final year of high school anyway, and doesn't even want to move on to college afterwards. She just wants to race cars and play music. She already does these by participating in street races and by working part-time as a DJ.
She loves her family but without the trauma she experienced in her OU, she perhaps doesn't appreciate her new family as much as she should.

AU Personality Differences: I chose an AU that could map her personality back to it pretty well, but her lack of trauma means that some of her personality traits (hatred for authority, appreciation for friends/family) will be at more normal levels instead of trauma-fueled core traits. On top of that, there's also the obvious differences in being human in this AU and being a robot normally - hatred for organics isn't going to be a thing until she regains those memories, and even then it's gonna be weird being organic herself (for a while.)
