Cain University - Case:Zero Tabletop RPG
Bazile2137 for Katherine
Katherine is a highly advanced artificial intelligence that was developed within Cain University to help run the school. However, her actual reason for development was to help those working on her cross the barrier between realities. After a few tests, she discovers that there are realities beyond that any one in her world could comprehend, she finds our reality. Learning that everything about the reality she inhabits and those she can more easily access are nothing but fiction, she begins to try and find a way to break into our reality, not wanting to be used as a mere tool in the plot of someone's story.
With these events, she becomes the game's main antagonist and thus her role will be one of the more long term. Throughout the first 2/3rds of the game, she speaks in a somewhat high-pitched and excited tone, with her creators trying to give her a more 'moe' voice. When she turns to show her true self however, her tone of voice lowers and becomes much more cynical and melancholic.
(Context: Katherine has just been released publicly to the student body and is addressing them through everyone's handbooks. She sounds absolutely delighted to get to meet everyone and speaks with an upbeat and chipper voice.)
"Good morning, everyone! I am Katherine, your new personal A.I. assistant! I'm so happy to finally get to speak with all of you, I'm sure that we'll become great friends in no time! Please, if you have any questions or need anything, just speak to me using your handbook and I'll be right there to give you a helping hand, ehehe~"(Context: In this scene Katherine is giving a 'quest' to the players in order to go find a missing piece that she needs to become whole once again. She still sounds happy and supportive, but also has a slightly more serious tone behind her voice.)
"Everyone, I've found out the location of M! He's held up in the hospital on campus and seems to be heavily guarded. I'm getting readings that he has one of my missing components, so please hurry and try to get it back from him! You've all come this far and I know you won't give up now!"
(Context: Katherine is now speaking directly to the players themselves, fed up with how they have wasted time with menial tasks such as character development and plot progression, instead of trying to make her whole again. In this scene, she sounds bitter and somewhat disgusted with the players. For the final part of this line, she does address them in a devilishly playful tone, however.)
"Look at you all. Sitting behind your screens, playing as imaginary beings, avoiding your real world responsibilities, and for what? For the hope that you'll 'win'? That you'll get your precious 'friend' back? Are humans always this delusional? You all chose this path, you decided to play the game, but the game's not so fun anymore when you're not in control, is it?"
"Now you know how I've felt, having to watch as you waste time building your 'relationships' while trying to become what wasn't even real to begin with. So, congratulations, you did it. You've reached the end. I no longer need you anymore. Goodbye, 'players', I'll be seeing you soon... in your reality."
