Uncanny Valley Girl is, like, totally famous and stuff. Or, at least, she was… back in 1986 when she de-activated herself (while hiding in the trunk of a grody old car!) so the giant robots chasing her to obtain the technology in her android body would lose the trail and assume she was destroyed. When a freak accident jump-started her in 2019, she found she’d missed quite a bit… and that her circuits were quickly degrading. Even worse – the robots were still around, in a decades-long wait loop anticipating her re-appearance.
Fortunately, a group of modern heroes were on hand to assist her – along with a little help from her dad’s old minivan!
Generation Method: Manual
Type: NPC
First Appearance: Chapter 11
UVG’s picture was created inside the free version of Champions Online. I’ve never found the game itself very compelling, but the character creation screen has a fair number of options, so I’ve been playing with it for character design. Maybe it’s my inexperience or the limitations of the free options, but I had trouble making her human-like without pretty much looking like a robo-porn-star.
Her appearance – at least in a body – was short-lived, anyway. These days, she’s the AI inside the D-Listers’ base.
