I like his rougeish qualities, but I'd asume he has a job with the casinos and he slowly works his way with baxk ally gambling and well placed bribes into head of the casinos. That is going to me his first ark.

the only problem with this strategy is that the casino staff is made of ani-droids, and security is quite tight. He should be VERY good to draw at least the bartenders and/or cook staff to his side, since those are humans. Or he'd need to be one heck of a hacker to find a way to cheat into the games, since the anidroids are programmed just to avoid that.
As for his own lifestyle, since Roux has a legitimate ticket (he could prove it with a letter that testifies it), he can live his own lavish life as a passengers, all included, as long as the maiden voyage goes.

I'd ment head as In he takes over slowly and tries to get control of the casino floors s his domain. I put it wrong somewhere?

Droid is old, less refined looking, missing a few things, fur that hasn't been put on a piece, eye covers so it's just a glowing camera lense. Old and run down but loved nonetheless.

I have a question though. How does Atlas rid itself of anidroids. What happens when they reach the end of their usefulness? What do you do with old parts when new ones come out?

What answer this has will decide whether or not it's feasible for me to make a story about a personally owned Anidroid or come up with another story of some sort.

Name: Miguel Villalobos

Type: Resident

Species: Anidroid Wolf

Age: 5 Pet Years / 2 Human Years

Color: #666699

Neighbourhood: Apollo City

Appearance: Miguel isn't your average Anidroid, in fact he's probably the only one like him in the world. Miguel is a custom built Anidroid, created by an employee of Atlas. His parts are mismatched but with proper fur coverage he looks relatively normal. Regular grey fur mixed with a bit of brown and various shades of grey give him a bit of a feral look, a feature intentionally given by his builder. He has all his parts and most of his fur which, unlike the grown fur of today's anidroids, his was a prototype synthetic blend meant to self repair after damage. Matching eyes are hard to come by for his head model as such only the green colored cameras are visible giving him a bit of an eerie appearance, especially at night. He's missing some motion dampeners so the small twitch movements like eye movements and ear movements are accompanied by small clicks as they move. Usually wears a pair of sunglasses to hide his eyes and a light jacket to hide the unfurred parts of his supporting chest structure. He's well built however and sturdy, no wires sticking out, just some supporting metal and exposed back and stomach servos, hence the jacket.

Personality: Miguel is rather charismatic, he's good at making friends and good at listening to people and helping with their troubles. He's as adventurous as he can be with his limitations. He's rather closed off about himself and tries to hide what he's missing, hence the sunglasses and jacket. His programming places him around 23 years of age.

Background: Miguels owner and creator, Enrique Villalobos, was a project overseer during a prototype phase of Atlas' Anidroid project. His knowledge of building parts and assembly allowed him to step forward as overseer and gave him the ability to build Miguel. During prototyping phase various parts were thrown into the metaphorical bin as unfit for use. Many of these parts were grabbed up by Enrique and used to build Miguel. This occurred over the entire prototype project as such, Enrique was able to gather many parts even extras in case things broke or turned out to be damaged. Over the course of his entire prototype project run, Enrique collected parts and built Miguel in complete secrecy, fixing and programming certain parts and processors to do their jobs correctly. By the end of the run, Miguel was near completion and when the consumer model Anidroids were released, Miguel was having his base personality completed. Just after Anidroids became a hit, Miguel was completed and running nicely, still covered in secrecy, but learning about the world nonetheless. Eventually, Miguel was brought out of hiding during a house visit that somehow turned out in Enrique's favor. The executive director had come to visit while Enrique was tinkering with a knee servo. The director stepped through the door and discovered Miguel and Enrique sitting there, both looking at him. A small write up of legal papers proving that Miguel was the legal property of Enrique, due in no small part to the fact that discarded objects are no longer considered property unless retained and Miguel was allowed to continue his existence albeit with no help from Atlas in the form of parts.

Other notes:
-Miguel is not waterproof, with no synthetic skin or fur to protect his midsection, water has full access to the movement systems for his legs and back or stomach. The jacket he wears protects him enough from rain or ocean mist, but being submerged or having large amounts of water directed at that area can cause small short circuits to his hip and spinal servos, usually resulting in their ceasing to function. Resiliency is his game though, a little drying and he'll be fine.

-Miguel has a malfunctioning vocal processor, due to an accidental short circuit during installation, leading to troubles such as a faulty censor and temporarily being unable to speak English.

-Miguel has a intermediate knowledge of various computer systems, coupled with a high powered prototype networking antennae, allows him relatively powerful remote access functionality and while he doesn't have a security system(Anti-Virus, Firewalls, etc) built into him, he is fully capable of defending himself against attempts to access his function s.
