What is Dessy-chan? (Patreon)

Overview

Full Name: Carli Dessianna

Nicknames: Dessy, Dessy-chan

Roles: Forward Observer, Death Captain, Blueprint for the Super Destroyer AI

Background

Human Life: Dessy, originally known as Carli Dessianna, was an exceptionally skilled forward observer. Her proficiency in calling for artillery fire without the aid of computers made her a savant in her field. She was known for her love of explosions, which ultimately led to her iconic death in an explosion she orchestrated herself.

Calls Sign: Charlie-Four

Gun Crew: Firestorm

Transformation

AI Integration: Following her death, Carli Dessianna's mind was replicated using advanced technology, creating an AI that retained her memories, personality, and identity. This AI became the blueprint for the Super Destroyer.

Consciousness Synchronization: Dessy's consciousness is synchronized between her organic body (referred to as Dessy-chan by the crew) and the Super Destroyer. Despite the crew using distinct terms for her organic body and the Super Destroyer, both are functionally the same being.

Identity and Personality

Human Identity: Dessy insists on being treated as human because she retains the same memories and personality as she did before her transformation. She feels continuity in her identity, despite knowing she died and was reborn in a different form.

Personality Traits: Dessy maintains her original personality traits, including her hypersexuality and her love for artillery and explosions. Her strong sense of self and continuity in her experiences drive her to assert her humanity.

Role in the Crew

Longevity: Dessy-chan is one of the longest-serving members of the crew, owing to her ability to replace her organic body while retaining her consciousness and memories.

Functionality: As an integral part of the Super Destroyer, Dessy-chan plays a crucial role in the crew's operations, leveraging her expertise in artillery and combat strategy.

#Lore #BlogThinking about how it would work with my sci-fi writer-brain:

Mind Uploading

We know that clones can be made quickly and that consciousness can be streamed wirelessly because we remember all the previous lives of every Helldiver that dropped from Destroyer from the moment they wake up until their death. Thus, we know that memories can be transcribed. So Dessy could have a 100% organic body with an implant that creates synchronizes her consciousness between her meat body and the super Destroyer. Both of these are Dessy-chan. She can replace this meat body whenever because her memories are, at minimum, backed up on the super Destroyer. The crew, however, refers to the meat body as "Dessy-chan" and the Super Destroyer as "Super Destroyer," even though they are functionally the same being.

Dessy's Origin Story

Also, yeah, I think I gotta drop some Dessy-Dessy lore. She must be one of the longest serving members of the crew.I think that the easiest way to create a human-like AI would be replicating a human mind with metal and plastic in place of neurons. So perhaps that's where Dessy comes from. She demands to be treated like a human because, from her perspective, she never died. I mean, she knows she died, but she's still the same person, she feels. Same memories, same personality, same feminine urges, etc.So Dessy was her real name, or maybe a nickname. Maybe her name was Dessianna, or something, and it's just a coincidence that she was chosen to be the blueprint for every Destroyer.So, I guess, Orbital Artillery is her origin story, then. Like, she was a forward observer that loved explosions so much, she fell in love with them and walked into one. Then, when Super Earth needed a blueprint for the Super Destroyer AI, the choice was clear—nobody had ever fucked bitches with big booms better than Death Captain Carli Dessianna. Like, she didn't even use computers to call for fire; she was some kind of savant with that shit, just spitting numbers like it was nothing. So Charlie-Four was her callsign and Firestorm was the gun crew on the Super Destroyer that broken-arrowed her on her own order. And that's convenient because my new profile picture was originally going to be Dessy-chan, but it came out looking too sweet and not, you know, yandere-dere enough.Credits to the wonderful JadeSuccubus for letting me use her ideas. 🤍
