Babylon: SIGNALIS SPTR Guide
Difficulty: Hard
What is a SPTR?
The Spottdrossel or “Mockingbird” Is a special operations Replika constructed on the Kolibri frame, only recently pushed into early field-testing trials. Unlike their cousins, however, they do not have the ability to use Bioresonance to affect the minds of others. Instead, through the use of a highly specialized Basilisk module, they are able to use bioresonance to bend light around them in order to conceal themselves under the visible spectrum of light outside of combat.
They are additionally equipped with a Songbird module, enabling them to collate voices they are exposed to, processing them down to raw data. Limited exposure results in short snippets. Moderate exposure results in manipulation of vocal patterns. Extended exposure to a subject they bond to can result in an uncanny copy.
How do I roleplay as a SPTR?
Spotdrossels are incredibly shy and anti-social Replikas, preferring to keep to themselves. They despise confrontations, and highly social settings. This isn’t to say they avoid socialization altogether, though. They form a tight-knit network with their Sisters, constantly exchanging information and collecting data, whether it be regular Facility drama or work-related. This network of ‘gossip’ can extend outside of their own Cadre.
Spottdrossels additionally can behave rather chaotically, finding entertainment in pranking other members of staff using their invisibility. Light mischief is viewed as fairly normal for a Spottdrossel, but when it starts crossing the line and becoming detrimental, it becomes a sign of persona degradation. A stable Spotdrossel won’t take things too far.
They absolutely despise eye contact, and being stared at in general. A poorly-adjusted Spottdrossel can regress into a tantrum after so little as 1 interaction, but having sister units, friends or a mentor around can help younger, less attuned Spottdrossels control their emotions. They may go invisible as a means of comfort.

Disclaimer:
SPTRs are experimental Replika and may run into physical issues if they push their basilisk modules beyond their 30 minutes of standard use.
Pranks that involve the harm of another member of staff, breaking into secure areas, or defamation of a superior may result in your character being punished if discovered.
