Background:
The Android known as John Anderson awoke a year ago, having spent at least one hundred and fifty years in a barely powered android-specific stasis pod. It awoke on a derelict ship creaking through the drift. All crewmembers were dead, and the ship had suffered significant damage. The only companionship was a top of the line Pocket Secretary with an artificial personality named “Alice”. Alice had been powered down for long enough she factory reset on being recharged on the fitful emergency generator that had powered the pod.
Alice accepted the Android as its new owner, and lacking a name he chose to use the name emblazoned on Alice’s case: John Anderson PLLC.
Alice, as it turned out, came with an “IT Troubleshooting” program, and also with a personality, named Barb. Barb had a biting wit, and just enough programming to allow John to rig her up with some basic tools, and access the Engineering database on the ship’s main core. Unable to power the core, Barb explained how to copy the basic information contained onto the pocket secretary (dramatically shortening battery life and voiding warranty) and install a quick template-driven personality interface, which he named Cass.
Cass managed to get the ship’s generator running just enough to nudge the engine so that the Starstone compass based positioning system in the pocket secretary could steer the ship towards Absalom station - a process that would take about a year and a half.
Now safe in the knowledge he would survive - albeit he was by the end reduced to slow-boiling organic ship components to create food - John used the time to learn about the world. All the information matter he could find indicated that as an Adroid he had the same rights as Alice, Barb and Cass - which is to say none. He interrogated Alice enough to deduce a training in the legal profession, sat all the requisite exams, filled in the paperwork, and spent four hours a day practicing how to fight - should it be needed.
He salvaged what he could, stepped off in Absalom station and immediately registered a company, and himself as the asset of a company - John Anderson PLLC. He is the sole owner of John Anderson PLLC. Thus, legally, he is his own owner, something that will no doubt cause conniptions to the Android Abolitionist Front.
With less than a credit to his name he immediately registered for work with the highest rated organisation on Absalom.

Appearance:
John is a professional looking android in a very formal suit. He cuts a dashing if impersonal figure, a virtual man in black. In lieu of a traditional briefcase he carries a black leather-patterned reaction cannon, for which he has the appropriate training and certifications. Hidden under his suit is a Second Skin armoured stocking carrying several pockets full of Personal Secretary.

Personality:
John: Face to face clients primarily deal with John. John is… not good with people. People are confusing. Hard to read, harder to influence. John likes clear cut things, like laws, and guns. John is very worried about breaking the law, but more than happy to bend it into a loop. He has only a vague understanding of Abadar, but would be a natural convert. John is polite, however, as he has gone through several weeks of customer liason exams. “Good morning Sir-slash-madam.” he will say “How about that local sport team. Didn’t they do well/bad. But down to business…”
Alice: Alice is the bubbly legal secretary who lives in John’s Pocket Secretary. Witty, polite, and non-sentient her Expert System is still better with people than John is, and he is more than happy for her to handle every interaction he can palm off “I’m sorry, Mr Anderson is in a meeting right now. Can I be of assistance?” Alice is the only personality that deals with outsiders other than John.
Barb: Barb was never meant to be used long term. Barb is very problem focussed, because if you are using Barb something is supposed to be going wrong. Barb will often stall pending confirmation her tasks are not illegal. Mostly Barb looks after Alice and Cass, and a flaw in her programming has left her acting as their mother. She has a cool, never-flustered voice carefully designed to calm a user regardless of the situation. “Have you tried turning it off and on? Please hold. The problem appears to be that you have shot the console. Please un-shoot the console, or install a new console. Would you like to know more?”
Cass: Cass is an uploaded template personality cobbled over the Engineering module scavenged from a broken spaceship. She is aggressive, greedy for new parts, and obsessed with specs. She has no interest in dealing with people without a minimum engineering knowledged, and has forced John to learn enough basics to be taken seriously. She also has an incredibly overblown accent, which changes regularly, because template generated personalities, designed for games, created by another non-sentient ai, are not exactly stable. “Ay. I cood tell ya how ta doo it. But then you’d not know how ta do it yaself. A man shood noo how to change the loading sub-assembly of his oon gun. *CRRRKRK* Geez mate, if ya can’t do it yaself, yer up BEEP creak. I’ll give ya a clue, though, mate - look for the SZ-11782-B screw with the 0.235mm thread.”
