Ziggy Frood, electronic symbiont and Nexus castaway.
Dream Machine, Electric Sheep
Current State of Character:
- Likely most relevant to play, Ziggy's a shapeshifter (think Mystique, for the closest pop culture analogue I can come up with). He can assume any normal-adult-human-appearing form he's had enough audiovisual reference for. This includes in-person acquaintances and figures from television and films. He gains none of the powers that come with these forms—baseline human physiology, all the way. He has no base form/gender of his own (though, so far, he tends to 'present' as male). Every 'look' he assumes is borrowed.
- Ziggy's a shapeshifter because he's a human/computer symbiote. He isn't a cyborg and he isn't, no matter what he says, really a full AI. He's a Nexus-created almost-human-being whose heart and long-term memory (you could also use "mind," as a catch-all) hang out in a stack of computers. It's like being rigged up long-distance to an iron lung—yeah, maybe Ziggy's "iron lung" gives him a few nifty superhuman abilities, but if someone destroys or shuts it down, he's only got a short time to live. For the (very long) full skinny, head on over to this post.
(Ziggy's an original roleplaying character -- i.e., s/he does not exist in the Real. Images used for his/her icons do not belong to me, nor do the characters they represent -- they're just being used as evocative tokens in not-for-profit, garden-variety RP. Mun's main RP journal is over at
