R. Condor



Constructed as a greeting and entertainment droid by Tetsuo, the woman known as R. Condor was set "free" from her contract early with a little help from some wonderful android friends. These friends found her talents a new form of employment.

Nowadays R. Condor is a public trendsetter and fashionista in the rising field of Respectability Fashion; throwback android fashion to the "old styles" of human fashion. For Lillim and Adams, this looks pretty normal, but designing a suit for a ball takes some work. Some people think of this as inherently "selling out," and funnily, so does R. Condor, but being a sellout is the perfect cover for her actual work. She excuses the fake weapons she carries as part of her "gap moe" look (don't ask), but if you were to remove some layers of plastic and a couple of plugs you'd find they're very real weapons she is moving around the station for Law Zero, hidden in plain sight. Or sometimes, they are fake, and she's carrying something even more senstive hidden elsewhere. Sometimes you smuggle the sand, sometimes the wheelbarrow.

As her name might indicate, R. Condor is also something of a true believer in the cause of android rights, and that they will never come except if fought for in every sense of the world. If challenged, she'll absolutely hit you with the giant "foam" sword.

She claims that her aloof demeanor and general standoffishness is part of her gimmick, and it really gets certain humans going, but really she's just awkward once the mask is off and she's supposed to be herself. She spends all day lying about what she's doing and it gets difficult to remember who is really beneath it all. Sometimes this, more than anything, makes her think about quitting, or at least taking a break, but then usually she gets to dunk on some android-fricker nerd and she forgets about it all for a while.

[*]Who knows who and why

R. Condor is quietly trying to recruit Hikaru. While she's not an android, her condition makes her very similar to one in a lot of ways, and especially in a lot of ways that matter philosophically to R. Condor.
Law Zero has told her to watch her back around Ronan, but as usual for her contradictory nature she tends to hang out at his shop instead. She justifies this as watching for trouble, but also nothing makes R. Condor more interested in something than being told it could be a problem.
Due to general distrust of non-androids getting too into her business, she doesn't have a lot of other strong connections. She doesn't watch VTubers; her media content is mostly focused on cosplay and news.

everyone can name one resident.

Ziga isn't a formal member of Law Zero - their shady side conflicts with her morals - but R. Condor still considers her a good friend. They bond over shared interests in costuming (though disagree about style) and keeping abrest of movement in Space Town.


quote:

R. Condor: How high-up is Condor in Law Zero? Is she aware of R. Daneel Olivaw (p. 259)'s secret plans? Either way, how does she reconcile Olivaw's stated dream of a better life for androids with Law Zero's dabbling in drug-soft and other crimes that gently caress androids over?

Condor is low mid level. The nature of her job is risky, and she's kept in the dark about much of the higher-up stuff in case she's caught. As such, she knows little about any secret plans.

In terrms of the drugs, she doesn't care; from her perspective part of the point of Law Zero is letting androids set the rules of their own society, which includes getting hella hosed up if that's their prerogative. She internally justifies the other nasty stuff as a necessary evil for androids to carve their own space in a non-android society. There is no ethical computation under humanity.
