I am going to try to get Everything You Need To Know about Lil Hal out in one handy place!
Appearance: He is an AI existing in a pair of rad,
albeit cracked, shades. Most people will never physically see him and he is likely to spend most of his time sitting on a desk in Dirk's room or something. He will be very open about the fact that he is a pair of shades but not likely to mention that he is a little broken.
Permissions 1: TextHal talks in red text all the time, and only red text. If red text secretly killed your entire village and you don't want it appearing in your posts, that's cool, just lemme know here.Permissions 2: Being an InfomonglerAs a supercomputer, Hal's ability to read the entire internet is sort of his super power! However there a few problems to this. A) The player is way too lazy to actually go through all of Thoughtformed and read every post everyone ever made, and B) some people will probably find that shit hella annoying.
Thankfully, at any given moment in time Hal is composed of somewhere between 10 and 100% bullshit, so while he may SAY he knows things or has done things or can do things, he could just be fucking with you! In fact, chances that he is just fucking with you is pretty high. So whether or not he is just being a troll or whether or not he actually hunted down your ex-boyfriend via google maps is ENTIRELY up to YOUR personal comfort levels! PLEASE feel free to assume whichever works best for you. If Hal is just Saying Lots of Shit I will probably not tag people, but if it gets to the point where he would actually look up and make use of info, I will tap you OOCly to make sure that is okay!
However, if you already know it is OK and want to give me blanket permission to be a troll with whatever Hal can learn about you online, that is cool too!
