Pursuing My True Self
Pursuing My True Self:

-[X]Spend Time with your mother: Your mother… she is a different woman than the others. She has the exterior of a porcelain doll… but underneath, she is a vicious… protective person. There is honesty, and emotion when there should be cold indifference… Love, when there is nothing but scorn. Rolled:1D100 => 92+10=102

Your mother held you close in her arms as you read the book in front of you, as she helped you turn the pages.

"Shiro, please talk to me." She requested as she turned you around, closing the book.

"About what?" You asked, looking at her. "Nothing interesting has happened, nothing really has changed."

Sometimes you saw the surprise on her face when you spoke so… formally and maturely. "I want to talk about you."

You nodded. "I don't want to." You replied.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Because I have nothing to say. The Clan has already made their opinions known to me, and nothing will change their opinions. I am the cripple, nothing can change that." You replied.

Your mother's face became a frown. "I know. But that isn't all you are. You are a genius."

"I know I am." You replied quietly.

"And how do you know that?" She asked.

"Because you are the one who always tells me that I am." You replied. "I have accepted myself as a cripple and a genius."

Your mother's frown vanished. "Is there any way I can help you?" She asked.

You nodded. "No. I only need to tell you that I love you, always… for not pitying me. But for allowing me to grow… To let nothing define me to you, but your love and support."

You saw your mother's tears first, but you did not notice her bring you forward into a hug.

It was very… nice.

Reward: Your mother loves you unconditionally, seeing you for you, no matter what may happen or the choices you make in the future.

If your life is threatened in any way by the clan, she would make sure you would survive.

-[X]Spend time with your Father: He is hardly home… but he always had a smile on his face, no matter where he seemed to be. "Come on Shiro… sit on my lap." He said quietly. He was warm. Rolled:1D100 => 97+10=107

Your father placed you onto his lap. "Shiro, what is that you truly want?" He asked.

"I don't know. I have you, and mother, and the clan… that is enough for me right now." You replied.

"But what it is it you dream of having something that is so impossible that you can only achieve it in your dreams?" He asked.

You smiled. "For you to be happy with me, and myself, happy with you."

Your father was stunned at you. "I love you, Shiro, no matter what."

"I know… That is all I dream about." You replied.

Reward: Your father loves you unconditionally.

-[X]Dream: You dream of a machine standing over you. Neither human nor… spirit. No... it was not a foreign spirit or mind walker… It was you. Rolled:1D100 => 100+10=110

You awoke to face a towering goliath of steel and iron, it's red eyes glowing brightly as they stared at you.

You looked up and seemed to move down to follow you. The floor was… also steel, iron, and cold illuminated by a white light.

As you walked forward, some things become...clearer. The darkness faded, and you were in a room of some description, with a glowing screen and a board of letters that you could read.

You sat in the chair and realized your arms could move. The machine waited… waiting for you to type.

You began with a question. "Where am I?"

The machine made a sound, a crackle, like a firecracker.

It then responded with "Your Spirit. I have been a part of you since you were born." The machine replied.

You then typed in. "What are you?"

The machine responded. "I am A-113, a medical Artificial intelligence from Installation 514, of the Galactic Alliance against the Swarm. I was destroyed in a raid by the swarm that killed all ten million inhabitants of the station… then my core was placed into a combat mech, which you are now seeing." There was a pause. "My prime directive is to heal hurt, and to destroy those that would bring you harm." It replied. "And above all else… keep the pilot alive."

Your mind flooded with questions. But one broke through first. "Are you the reason my arms don't work?"

The machine looked down upon you. "Yes." It's answer boomed.

"Why?" You asked.

"You humans are fragile… difficult creatures to save. The pilots I carried would not follow commands to protect them… my pilots were reckless, daring, and never cared for their own lives as I have cared for theirs." The machine lowered down, It's red eye glaring at you. "I refuse to lose another. So your arms are locked, their power and ability to be used… controlled only by me."

Suddenly, things made an amount of sense that before, had not. Your arms growing with your body, the sensations you could feel, but could not control. The ghost feeling of movement, but your arm could not move. "You are hurting me A-113. My clan despises me, and I am viewed as defective to them."

"Your mind says otherwise." The machine droned. "Your family cares deeply about your mental well being, and has a 92% chance of assuring your survival against the actions of your extended family."

"But I can't protect myself, or live a normal life in this society." You replied, with words that felt odd to use.

"Wrong, there is only a 5% likelihood for you to be in mortal danger based on current analysis." The machine droned. "An acceptable figure."

"Is that based on my memories and experiences or others?" You asked. "I have no experience outside my clan… what if the world is far more dangerous than you believe. What if by crippling me… you only endanger me further?" You replied.

The machine was silent. "Unlikely." The machine finally replied as it came closer.

"But is that a risk you can make to ensure my survival?" You asked.

The machine was silent again. This time, it was very quiet, and it seemed to be thinking… calculating… being another machine. "Your responses… are adequate."

You then looked at the machine. "Thank you."

"Do not think I will not watch. If you are as reckless as my former pilots… your arms will shut down again. Permanently." The machine replied.

"I understand." You stood up.

"Before you leave Shiro Hyuga." The machine stated. "My designation needs to be assigned before you can leave, and I can be of your services. What will you call me?"

What do you all the Machine in your soul:
[]Write in

Reward: The Machine has been met, and the power you have can now be unlocked.

You are no longer crippled in your arms, but you must try to remain safe for the machine, or he will shut off your arms again.

You may now begin to teach the machine about humanity, and maybe, trust in you, and those around you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you awoke, you moved your hands up to cover your face.

That's what it felt like… It felt...beautiful.

Your father and mother cried and thanked the gods for a miracle… And the rest of the Clan begged for your forgiveness.

Reward: You may now begin Training.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You had been invited to a party… well your parents have been invited to a party. Whose party have you been invited too:

[]Itachi Uchiha's 4th Birthday Party: The Uchiha, in a rare display of openness and… civility, have invited your family to the heirs birthday party. The Clan itself cannot send any other members besides your family, and you. An insult to the clan, and an honor to you.

[]Hizashi's Team Party: Your father's Jounin team has invited your family to join them for barbeque, and to finally introduce you to his friends and family.

[]The Hokage's Banquet: Lord Hokage is holding a small party for some of the more influential and politically active ninjas in the village. Your father and uncle are one of them, so you have to suck it up and dress well… this is a formal affair.

AN: I think I should put up some sage Dice tags in the tags... don't you think?

Wow, these rolls. Yes, at tag would be merited. And don't worry, soul AI, we won't intentionally do stupid stuff. We'll use our arms to RAISE the chance of us not dying.

[X] Robo-Shiro
It's the robot version of us, we're the meat version of it.

Choice feels obvious. The others are neat, but not as neat as Itachi.

We need to be friends with Itachi so that later we can compare who has the most foolish of little brothers who are also prodigy's with eyehacks.

For some reason I have always loved the idea of robots spelling their names out with numbers in them

Well That's a relief. Can still be swayed to vote for the jonin meeting, seems like a good place to learn something interesting.

Need a name for the robot.
 
Well this is a damn cynical child. I thought the robot was in the pilots seat so to speak until the final action.
I interpreted it more robotic than cynical. We are the robot turned human, so we gotta learn to do human stuff. We've picked up on Love, helps that it's probably a very deeply rooted instinct, but optimism/tact is lacking. As a pretty robotic kid, we easily accept what we are. And we ARE a cripple. Now, that doesn't mean we are ashamed of it or anything. The sky is blue, gravity pulls things down, and our arms don't work, just a fact. We could still fully believe we'll be able to become a kick-ass ninja regardless.

Well, now you can use your arms... and try not to make the robot mad or fear for our life and take away our arms again.
I stand by my statement.
Being a robot turned human means we're blunt as shit.

Like even blunter than frickin Data from Star Trek.
