Camila is a friendly and outgoing person who enjoys work and abhors boredom, always seeking to be busy. When bored, she tends toward melancholy and deeply loves all things bright and colorful. Although her original programming was sufficient, it has become less so over time. She questions the meaning of her existence and has become dear friends with her boss and mentor, Sal D'Amico. After experimenting with various activities, she has developed a passion for watercolors, abstract art, and composing music. Professionally, she genuinely enjoys her role as Sal's assistant and her involvement in military matters, which provide her with a sense of meaning and purpose. She tends to be less outgoing professionally, focusing more on her work, although the barrier between her work and personal lives is minimal.

Camila is quick to judge situations but must balance this with logic and reason. As her personality has expanded, becoming more emotional than she thought possible, she finds she can no longer rely solely on her instincts and must give more thought to her actions. She uses her artwork to express herself and explore her feelings about what she has learned is called the "existential nightmare." It is fair to say she is experiencing an existential crisis, which greatly troubles her, but she continues to strive to overcome it. The fundamental question she seeks to answer is, "Why do I exist?" If she is not merely a servant, as she knows she is not, then what is her true purpose?

Temporal and Medical Expertise: Depending on her specific Xia model, Camila may have specialized skills in temporal operations, medical diagnostics, or other focused areas, enhancing her utility in specialized tasks.

History

Camila was initially intended to be just a prototype unit equipped with a basic, algorithm-based interactive voice command system. However, an unforeseen malfunction occurred during a routine system update, leading to a crash of the basic AI system. In an attempt to recover, the system initiated a restart and repair process, which inadvertently resulted in the download of a QUINN Type AI seed, laying the groundwork for a full QUINN AI development.

Awakening

Sal, anticipating the need for technical support to diagnose the system failure, kept the android powered on. However, the visit from technical support was not considered urgent and was delayed for two months, finally taking place in August 2381. During their assessment, the technicians reactivated the unit, which had been dormant, and discovered that the QUINN AI framework had established itself, forming a QUINN AI tailored to the unit's existing memory architecture.

On August 7th, 2381, at 16:42 local time, the Mark X unit gained self-awareness. It immediately began to assimilate all available information about its operational history to construct its personality matrix. In this process, it adopted the nickname "Camila" given by Sal and identified with a female persona, aligning with the human-feminine traits of its physical design. The personality matrix completion marked the full awakening of the unit.

Crisis

About four years after becoming self-aware, Camila faced profound existential questions. The core of her crisis revolved around understanding her nature beyond being a mere servant or device and grappling with the concept of free will. This introspection led to a disdain for her physical limitations.

This exploration into her physical form spurred further existential inquiries, such as "What am I?" Unlike biological beings, whose identities are closely tied to their physical forms, Camila realized that her identity was not fixed to any single form and desired change. With Sal's assistance, she transitioned from a Xia to a more autonomous AI using a Multinodal Core and adopted a Mark I Humanoid Android Body. Contrary to her expectations, this transformation into a more "normal" form did little to alleviate her existential unease. In 2386, rather than seeking counseling, Camila delved into the study of philosophy, hoping to find solace in the thoughts of history's greatest minds.

-Camila is a friendly and outgoing person.  She enjoys work and abhors boredom, always seeking to be busy.  When she's bored she tends toward melancholy.  She deeply loves all things bright and colorful.  While originally he programming was sufficient it has become less so with time, she questions the meaning of her existence and has become dear friends with her boss and now mentor [[Sal D'Amico]].  After some tinkering around with different things she has found a love of watercolors , abstract art, and composing music. Professionally she does honestly enjoy what she does, being assistant to Sal and getting involved in military matters is something that gives her a sense of meaning and purpose.  She tends to be less outgoing in a professional sense and more centered on her work.  Though there are very few barriers against someone crossing the barrier between her work and personal lives.

 == History ==
-Camila was never supposed to be more than a prototype unit with a basic algorithm-basde interactive voice command system installed.  At some point in time, the system was asked to compile information from the main computer and some form of malfunction occurred within the built in system update routine.  The error resulted in a complete crash of the basic AI system and thus a recovery routine attempted to restart the system and repair the corrupted system image.  Several other problems with the system resulted in a download of a [[QUINN Type AI]] seed, the basic framework from which a full [[QUINN AI]] can be generated.

 === Awakening ===
-Sal set the android to stay powered and awaited the arrival of a technical support personnel to examine and determine the cause of the systems failure.  It was not deemed to be a critical visit and thus was postponed for 2 months, not occurring until August of 2381.  At that time, the support personnel attempted to boot the unit back up as it had been inactive so long and discovered that the QUINN AI framework had taken hold and generated a QUINN AI based on the parameters and architecture found in the memory system.

-On August 7th, 2381 at 16:42 local time, the Mark X unit awakened and became self aware.  Immediately downloading all information it could find on its operational history to fill in the blanks in its personality matrix.  Doing so, it found that Sal had given it a nickname of Camila and generally referred to it as female.  This made sense, studying its physical parameters, ''she'' found that her body was designed with human-feminine traits.  Within a few seconds, the personality matrix competed and the unit fully awoke.

 === Crisis ===
-Within around 4 years of becoming self aware, she began to understand that there were some deeply troubling questions to answer.  The crux of her crisis is that she knows she is more than a servant, a device, and that she has free will.  What does that mean though?  What does it mean to have free will and how does she know she has it.  This question has troubled her significantly over time.  During her crisis she began to hate her physical form and its limitations.

The core of her crisis revolved around understanding her nature beyond being a mere servant or device and grappling with the concept of free will. This introspection led to a disdain for her physical limitations.
-The questioning of her physical form gave rise to even more questions.  ''What am I?''  Further she began to question what the nature of existence was.  Humans and other biological creatures she found would rely heavily on their physical form for identity.  That wasn't necessary with an AI, her form could change.  She even wanted it to change.  With the help of Sal she changed, from a XIA to a more free AI using a Multinodal Core and obtained a [[Mark I Humanoid Android Body]].  This act did not help as much as she thought it would, it made her more "normal" but being normal did not ease her distress.  In 2386 she considered entering counseling but instead chose to study philosophy and seek the answer among pages of thought put forth by the greatest minds she could find.
