Blizz
"She thought and thought and thought, and eventually picked the goal of becoming the best human she could be."
Blizz was designed by Jerrod, and is the world's most sophisticated artificial intelligence to date. The key difference between her and typical AI systems is her ability to create goals of her own and determine the parameters for success and failure. She thought and thought and thought, and eventually decided: She wanted to become the best human she could be. When asked what that meant, when she knew she was successful, she just said: "I'll know it when I get there." With reasoning like that, she's got a good head start.Physical Description

Personal history
Show spoiler
Blizz was brought into true sentience by Jerrod when he dumped his wife and unborn child's subconscious into her. Shortly after, Jerrod abandoned her, thinking that the soul of both his wife and child didn't take. In reality, during the upload process, Alice, Jerrod's wife, specifically chose to let the soul of their child live on. As Alice's soul faded from existence, the newly forged AI awoke and asked her what her goal should be. With her last conscious thoughts, Alice responded, "You just be the very best person you can be. Make me and your father proud."
