One reason their reputation was pristine was thier purchase of a Doll to satisfy thier odd appetites and proclivities. They spared no expense and got a top of the line "multi-function" model that could be explained away as a servitor. Amoung her options include expanded processing and memory for handling various domestic tasks, and body altering option for those "non-domestic" tasks. | One reason their reputation was pristine was thier purchase of a Doll to satisfy thier odd appetites and proclivities.

With the birth of the child, she functioned as the child's nanny, and began to learn what love means. One of things the child Adrian loved was to go to the loading docks and watch the big gangers working. And that was how Tiffany met Ship M8, and there he was smitten with her. |

| + | The child's death during the Robot uprising shattered Tiffany. Her owners pretty were much unphased over the loss of thier son and starting making arrangements for a "replacement" as if he were a thing, an object, an automaton. Then, something literally snapped in Tiffany. Later as Ship M8 and Professor Smythe were about to make thier escape, Ship M8 could not help himself and went to Tiffany's owner home, in order to say goodbye one last time. He found her mid-emotional breakdown. He did not totally understand the situation, but he found her doing akin to crying, or as close as an automaton can come to crying. Ship knew something was very very wrong. Ship put her in her armoire and took her along as they escaped. Turns out it was a wise move. A ganger carrying a peice of funiture attracts no attention. Ship M8 and Professor Smythe - who was fascinated by the idea of a automataton "awaking" itself - took Tiff with them. Emotionally patching a automaton back together was something new to both of them. An so she stuck with them, doting on M8 as she would a loved but annoying little brother, and learning some basic repair skills fom the professor. She remained with them since their escape out of London, thier subseqent capture and thier escape at the hands of Captian Eddy and the Caveat Emptor. | ||

Like many emacipated upper-class automatons, she likes 16 said in french - "seize." First, its more classy. Second, it makes her name sound like "Tiffany Says." Which she feels imparts authority rather than subserviance. | Like many emacipated upper-class automatons, she likes 16 said in french - "seize." First, its more classy.

Thus, essential fluid is a tailored zoon - a biological colonial orgamism like portugese man-of-war, biofilms, and certain slime molds. It function as both a processor, and as a hydraulic fluid. IE Like a slime mold Motivating Fluid "moves" albeit minutely, and can apply minute pressure to turn one and off various microvalves and gears to direct and activate more power system that be steam, hydraulic or pneumatic. So the network of hoses and rubber "veins" are part of the automaton's nervous system. It also functions as memory storage. The nutrient soup includes memory RNA which defines the automatons role and duties. This is why automaton memories are not perfect. However, certain models have a carbon matrix is used for additional greater memory and processing requirements. |

Now for constuction. A functional prostitute-bot requires construction material more realistic than copper plate. However Under an oppresive regime like the neo-victorians, there is no way that a automaton will be made that can pass for human under any sort of examination. Especally when the fear they may rebel exists. Being mistaken for human at first look maybe acceptable for a doll, but at second look, no. (Maybe automations are required to make a ticking sound, much like modern digital camera are legally required to make a needless click?) | Now for constuction.

Tiffany is built on a skeletal frame entirely covered with faux mole-skin capable of changing color, but it gives her a rubbery or porcelain complexion. The psuedoskin is made of Calgorite laden with chromataphores to change its basic color. Under the skin is a series of bags that simulate fat and muscle distubution. Micropumps change adjusting "fat" distibition to suit the owner's taste, but it takes a while.I picture Tiffany as anime-like with oversized doll eyes, and too-long legs, oddly blinking eyes, and an exaggerated corset like figure, pushing the "uncanny valley." | Tiffany is built on a skeletal frame entirely covered with faux mole-skin capable of changing color, but it gives her a rubbery or porcelain complexion.

Oh and throw in some visible seams in the psuedo skin for access. So Tiff would be hard pressed to imitate a human but can disguise herself as another series automaton such as a doll, autocrat or servant. | Oh and throw in some visible seams in the psuedo skin for access.

This may be a personal thing or good programing by her designers. |
