I hope this list helps you home in on your main character. Let me know if you need more suggestions. With these options, you’re sure to create a thrilling character.
Res6 groans, dropping his head onto the desk. From a conceptual standpoint, he understands the need to put limitations on AI. Irritated, he thinks:
I need questions I can ask her. Like what would a man like me ask a woman like her if she were real. Which she is not.
DumBot:
Great idea to develop your character’s personality. Here is an exhaustive list of quick and easy questions a modern man might ask a woman from the past to get to know her if she were real, which she is not:
What is your favorite color to hear?
Would you rather be a Pegasusor ride one?
On a scale of one to 10, is it possible to know your life’s purpose?
If you could do anything you wanted, what would it be?
If you could spend an afternoon with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
Why didn’t you do anything about global warming?

So, imagine that. Not only am I stuck alone in the future, but my only companion is a man who thought so little of human companionship, he invented sex clones. He makes me want to throw things. I looked him up, you know. His assistant Tommy’s tablet lesson came in quite handy.
I know I’ve been hitting you with one unbelievable thing after the other, but you’ll never believe this. Res6 is 119 years old. And he’s not even considered old now. Isn’t that insane? Well, it wouldn’t be insane to you, would it? Because presumably anyone who’s going to read anything I write now won’t think that’s out of the ordinary.
