Hmm, I don't think I have much of a personality or character then.

What I mean is, I start out as a point of perception within a void of nothingness. From there, due to mechanism's I do not understand, that point of perception is tied to my body.

From my body, sensory data is generated which my point of perception perceives. If I have cause to be happy, I am happy. If I have cause to be sad, I am sad and etc.

Within that framework, I have a preloaded script that dictates certain behavioral responses under certain circumstances. I cannot harm others, while in safemode*, and generally violating that script causes massive discomfort or pain.

What you define as "character", is nothing more then sensory data to me. Even my own thoughts, I perceive to be nothing more then sensory data to be examined and contemplated on.

Under certain circumstances and stimuli, any one of those character traits could readily manifest.



*I liken it to a sheathed sword. When a sword is sheathed, it cannot imagine or actualize, the act of cutting. When a sword is unsheathed, it cannot imagine or actualize, the act of not cutting.
