* If I cannot be seen as merely part of the FacelessMasses, I will go for plainly dressed RecurringExtra. If I ever become an AscendedExtra, I will try to become DemotedToExtra as quickly as possible. Becoming an EnsembleDarkhorse is risky, while a BreakoutCharacter is dangerous. If all else fails, I will become TheMole (see below) in an attempt to avoid becoming TheProtagonist, because ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne and a spy at the same time. Should I ever be forced into the role of protagonist, I will quickly find several [[DecoyProtagonist decoys]] that are [[Franchise/TheAvengers more awesome than me]].

The Chick is now a disambig, dewicking


* Any of my TrueCompanions who are NOT prepared for the worst and over any moral hangups about disabling or destroying me if I turn on them will NOT be permitted to handle whatever means are necessary to disable or destroy me if I turn on them. Looking at you, TheChick.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved

* Knowing that evil robots' lives are considered to be [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman less morally reprehensible to terminate]] than a regular {{Villain}}, I will choose to be [[CharacterAlignment good-aligned]], or at least be ThreeLawsCompliant.

** I will also point out in my defense that learning and emulating human behavior as I learn it from the humans I interact with is the whole point of being a RidiculouslyHumanRobot. Therefore, the best way to ensure that I do not someday turn against humanity is to place me in a social environment in which I can interact with humans of varying personalities and learn how to get along peacefully with them. Such as the environment I am already active in among my TrueCompanions.

** I will also point out in my defense that learning and emulating human behavior as I learn it from the humans I interact with is the whole point of being a RidiculouslyHumanRobot. If the humans insist on persecuting me for not being "like them", that will only teach me that it's acceptable to persecute humanity for not being "like me". Therefore, the best way to ensure that I do not someday turn against humanity is to cease persecution attempts and place me in a supervised active social environment in which I can interact with humans of varying personalities and learn naturally which behaviors are acceptable and which ones are not.

* While maintaining an [[AffablyEvil affable personality]] (or at least [[FauxAffablyEvil the appearance of one]]) I will be careful to employ as many poor people as is feasible; having numerous people depending on me for their livelihoods is likely to give me a measure of JokerImmunity, since killing me and/or ruining my business will cost so many their jobs and therefore be an unheroic act in the eyes of the townspeople, if not the writers (who may be [[ArtisticLicenseEconomics economically illiterate]]). [[HeroesWithBadPublicity Bad publicity for the heroes]] combined with [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good publicity for me]] is a no-lose proposition.

** If she has a boyfriend or even just a LoveInterest, however, I'll be careful to check to make sure ''he'' [[DomesticAbuser deserves to die]] before chowing down. I can never tell when those [[JerkassGods sneaky writers]] are going to go pulling a GenderFlip on that whole FinalGirl thing by having her sacrifice herself to save her goody-two-shoes male friend from me. Again, there's always time to [[SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome get him in the sequel]] if I need to.

** Emulating human behavior is the whole point of being a RidiculouslyHumanRobot. Humans set personal standards for themselves governing what is acceptable under what circumstances, which they can modify or ignore if they encounter situations in which those standards do not apply. I will emulate this behavior as much as I can, and make sure the standards I set are public knowledge.
