What is a personality chip?

In science fiction, it's sometimes referred to as an "emotion chip.

" It's something implanted in the brain of a character. The idea, of course, is that it alters the emotional profile of that character and affects them in a way that can make us understand their motivation. And it could be that the idea that you can change your emotional state through your brain is not science fiction so much as it is pseudoscience but it does make for some fascinating drama.

What do personality chips and emotion-altering implants really mean? This all came about due to something called the Rorschach inkblot test. Back in 1921, Hugo Gernsback, a science fiction author, began asking his readers to try out the test. A simple inkblot was projected onto a screen and the reader would just sit in front of the image for a few minutes, and then describe what they saw. Most participants reported seeing black-and-white pictures of people or things, and this wasn't surprising, since inkblots had previously been discovered to resemble many animal shapes (a cat, a dog, an armadillo) or geometric shapes (a hexagon, a triangle). But there were also variations in what people saw a bat could be seen as a butterfly or a bird, depending on the person's emotional state at the time.

When Gernsback ran the experiment several times, he had two versions of the same inkblot, one normal and one with some changes that created ambiguity in the picture. Participants who were primed in one way got a positive response from the inkblot (for instance, the bat was transformed into a child), while those primed in the other way gave a negative response (that is, it appeared to be more like a man holding a baby than a bat). These results seemed to show that Gernsback was right when he said that what we think, feel, and imagine influences what we see in reality.

But the Rorschach test proved more than just a clever new way to study perception. Gernsback also took the data that participants reported seeing during their test, and compared it to the patterns of words that a group of experts found to characterize those who passed and failed the test.

What are the different personality chips for droids?

There are 6 "personalities" to choose from that will determine how your droid reacts to some situations.

You can find them in any Droid Dealer or Droid Proctor. This is a list of their different effects.

Aggressive -. Does what ever it wants when it wants. Calm -. Demanding -. Pisses off people. Humble -. Always has a soft side to it. Nervous -. Moody, nervous, easily startled. Relaxed -. Cheerful, happy. These are the default chips but a droid can have all of these chips added to it to change what it will do in certain situations. For example the "Sarlaac" chip which we'll get into later for the G2 can remove aggression and demand, and replace it with a "peace" personality. There are many more chips you can add to your droid that can make it react in many different ways.
