Physical Description

Though an ST-Type Mimic Computer, Mimi was not heavily customized. She retains almost all of the type's base characteristics, but has facial features and coloration that evoke a familial resemblance to the creator of the Mimicom, Sierra Merkur. Her dimensions are identical to the standard Mimicom:

Build

The standard 'female' Mimicom is built like a slight athlete,
such as a swimmer or gymnast.
While of average height, their build is a bit smaller than the average.
Despite this, the Mimicom has an average bust.  

Mimi's build matches Sierra's, though she is heavier due to her mechanical nature.

  • Height: 168cm (5'6“)
  • Mass: 68kg (150 lbs)
  • Measurements: 81-63-84 (32-25-33)
  • Cup size: 34B

Facial Features

The standard 'female' Mimicom has a heart-shaped face.
Their face is roughly as long as it is wide,
and they have a somewhat pointed, feminine chin.
Features can be best described as 'soft'
and they wear a congenial expression most of the time.

Mimi deviates from the default somewhat by taking on more of a resemblance to Sierra Merkur.

  • Eyes: Blue

Hair Style

The standard 'female' Mimicom has long, straight, yet flowing hair,
which reaches to their middle-back.
The bangs are kept short to provide a clear field of vision for the Mimicom,
and the hair comes tied at the bottom to keep it under control.

Mimi's hair is red, like Sierra's, with a slight wave to it.

  • Hair: Red

Personality

Enthusiastic, dutiful, professional, meticulous, and cheerful, Mimi retains much of the default personality of a nonsentient Mimicom. Her time with Sierra Merkur left an indelible mark on Mimi's personality, even more so than aspects of Sierra's personality are part of all Mimicoms'. Mimi is always in a perfectly-to-standard, immaculate uniform with equally particular grooming, and seeks to rectify any situation that renders her otherwise as soon as possible. She maintains this standard on or off duty, and prefers to project any other clothing when a uniform would be inappropriate. In public, she typically avoids wearing glasses to avoid being mistaken for Sierra Merkur, but secretly enjoys doing so for the same reason and has a habit of having “conversations” with her creator in the mirror while wearing them in private.

Preferring to regularly sip water to keep her fusion topped off rather than drink deeply when she's running low, she often has the means close at hand, and has distinct preferences for Heavy water, Tritiated water, and Heavy-oxygen water content ratios, as well as salinity and mineral content. Though as an ST-Type she is able to ingest and digest food, she prefers not to, and generally refuses to do so, unless needing to analyze it for safety or quality while cooking.

Likes: Helping others, answering questions, praise, a job well done

Dislikes: Being ignored, being treated as a machine, being underestimated

Goals: To explore the sector, and beyond, while also exploring what sentience means

Secrets: Wishes she could be a magical girl.

History

Built in late YE 39, and first activated in mid YE 40, Mimi gained sentience in early YE 42. She took her name from her designation Mimicom, and her creator, Sierra Merkur. Mimi was left to handle her creator's business while the latter was away on the OIF Karakoram mission. She became so busy, and was interacted with so much as a surrogate Sierra that it kickstarted her potential sapience into a hard-takeoff.

Mimi elected to remain with Origin, but wished to see the galaxy rather than remain in research and development. She aspired to be commissioned as in the Origin Industrial Fleet as a Science Officer, in order to ply to her expertise in electronics engineering, computer science, and physics out among the stars. Applying to be an OIF officer trainee, Mimi was accepted in YE 42 and received a slot to attend Origin Industrial Fleet Merchant Marine Academy to learn the basics of Starship Operation and the essential duties of a bridge officer, with Origin Security Corporation Basic Training scheduled for immediately after for potential future hazardous duty.

Skills Learned

Many of Mimi’s skills were learned before she became sentient, either being part of her base Mimic Computer programming or through interaction with Sierra Merkur. Others she has been trained on since gaining sentience.

Communications

Essentially a living communications device, Mimi is capable of interacting with any civilian-grade communications through her BANGLE. She is also capable of operating nearly any communications equipment imaginable, and interfacing directly with a large portion of it. Mimi is familiar with communications procedures and can make and receive transmissions to and from other characters on any equipment in any conditions. As a communicator and computer with commensurate mathematical ability, Mimi is very adept at cryptogrpahy and signal analysis.

An articulate speaker and literate writer, Mimi is an efficient and effective communicator. She is an office maven at writing reports, filling forms, and issuing orders. She is fluent in several languages to include:

Mimi performs all the functions of a standard communicator, datapad, or personal computer. She can do most math, access public networks, execute applications, run programs, play games, and all other functions commonly found on inanimate computers. Mimi may use herself as a communicator. She can make or receive calls, both audio and visual, and can even project a volumetric image over herself to mimic the caller, if the caller's equipment supports such functions. Mimi may send textual messages, as well as static images. She makes a great clerk or receptionist, and can take calls, make notes, work with customers, and perform other basic office and administrative duties.

Domestic

Mimi originally came programmed with the ability to perform domestic duties, such as cooking and cleaning, as well as yardwork and basic repair. She is a great cook, but only knew rudimentary recipes when activated. However she easily learns any recipe that she is given or that she downloads.

Engineering

Mimi is highly competent in multiple, related engineering disciplines:

  • Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • Industrial and Systems Engineering
  • Software Engineering
  • Control Systems and Mechatronics Engineering

She has a particular affinity for designing computer hardware and the integrated software systems that run on them. Mimi is capable of rapid prototyping and iteration, quickly developing effective solutions for emergent problems on her feet.

Knowledge

Mimi is a repository for every textbook, treatise, magazine, journal, and report Sierra Merkur saw fit to store. She is a comprehensive database of Origin Industries user, shop, and technical manuals. She can instantly find, access, and index information on any network she's connected to, and possesses a perfect, photographic, eidetic memory thanks to her digital mind. She is an encyclopedia on any topic she's knowledgeable in, as well as Origin Industries and Star Army of Yamatai regulations and procedures. She's also storing a comprehensive selection of literature and history.

Maintenance and Repair

Mimi is a whiz with tools, and can easily diagnose any mechanical, electrical, or computer issue thanks to her digital mind, enhanced senses, and engineering talents. She can repair, maintain, upgrade, and accessorize almost anything from clockworks, to internal-combustion machinery, to advanced quantum computers and fusion reactors, and everything else between.

Mathematics

Due to Mimi's brain being a powerful quantum computer, she excels at mathematics. She has been trained in nearly every mathematical discipline, from basic algebra, trigonometry, statistics, and calculus, to more advanced topics such as discrete mathematics, linear algebra, topology, and number theory. She is capable in applied and theoretical physics, both classical and quantum, as well as cryptography, engineering math, computer science and computational mathematics. Mimi is often capable of nearly instantaneous solutions to highly complex mathematical or logical problems.

Technology Operation

Being a Mimic Computer, Mimi is incredibly skilled at operating computers, regardless of operating system, as well as other technology. She is often able to interface with systems directly for low-level communications. Her ability to enter and search for information is unparalleled and instantaneous. She is an excellent programmer and software engineer, capable of creating new software almost on the fly. Mimi's Consort AI, running on an entire X-type Quantum Computer Node, is capable of merging with any 'Destiny' AI System, taking over and sharing data streams and processing power.

Mimi herself actually is a powerful computer, capable of of compiling code and fabricating programs based on input from herself or another. The programs she can create are proportionate to the input- basic input will create a basic program or code, advanced input will have more advanced results.
