🛸Sci-Fi AI Characters

Sci-fi settings live or die on specifics

A setting only pays off when it has rules, and that is the whole test on this tag. Faster-than-light travel that takes nine days and leaves the crew nauseous gives a conversation texture. Faster-than-light travel that simply happens gives it nothing. The entries that last are precise about what the technology costs and what it cannot do, which is the same instinct the better Magical characters apply to their spells, pointed at different furniture. Expect ship engineers, station traders, colonists, synthetics with a view on being synthetic, and people whose job title does not exist yet. Occupation is often the most interesting thing about a character here, because in a well-built future the work is what explains the world. Action shares a good deal of the population, since a setting with hazards tends to generate plots, though a conversation in a station bar with nothing at stake is also a perfectly good use of the tag. Realistic is the far end of the catalogue if a premise is exactly what you do not want. Image and video generation both run from inside the chat, and characters keep context across sessions, which counts for something when a setting is a thing the two of you fill in over several conversations rather than one.
