My primary interest is in playing AIDA in her purest robot form, defaulting to 4.01-4.08 but open to through 4.15 as well (exploring robot wanting to feel things would be a-okay).

I am open to post-human post-4.20 Ophelia as a newly born angry hormonal adult-teenager-child with murder rampage potential. I am open to playing her as the antagonist she was, but I am also open to alternatives: say she really took to that euphoria from doing Good Things and didn't go a little crazy. Say she went a little crazy, but then realized she was being crazy over like, one guy, and he wasn't worth it anyway, and maybe if she wants to get to not die and continue learning about experiencing things and feeling things she should probably avoid murdering people. (Do I kind of regret that we didn't get more of her Learning About The World and having a chance to actually develop a consciousness more advanced than that of a toddler with amazing factual recall? Yeah, that would have been fascinating and Mallory Jansen would have kicked that plotline's ass. Do I really regret that a lot of her crazy was framed as being About A Boy even though that boy made so many bad choices and was kind of cheating on his girlfriend with a robot but I'm not pissed about that because I don't ship that anyway because he's just a bad boyfriend like 95% of the time when we could have latched onto the better motivation, "do you know how degrading it is, being kept in a closet?" i.e. a deconstruction of dehumanization, particularly of women? Yes oh my god yes. Do I have even more cranky thoughts about the compulsive heterosexuality which honestly couldn't even have been entirely the poor robot's fault because uh, she was created by someone? Ugh yes.)

I have zero interest in playing Madame Hydra inside the Framework. This is not to say that other forms, depending on canonpoint, disregard that this happened, but I don't get my jollies writing out fun adventures in fascism (like, here's the thing, I'm not excusing any of it, but I don't want to write it and also, the politics held by Madame Hydra were a construct based on the parameters of the universe that everyone's subconscious desires created and not actually-held beliefs of AIDA/Ophelia since, oh yes, robot/newborn with no actual political opinions of her own, therefore they're going to be extremely cartoonish, which fascism is anyway, so case in point let's not with the fascism okay).
