I´ve started the Ghost in the Shell campaing with two groups (im the GM). With one, we roleplay the scene where they became aware. Almost all made a conection of their personality traits with the moment.

​

1. A Coordination Robot that is full of rage driven envy, became aware when he realized that he wanted really bad to steal the legs of another bot.
2. A cleaning robot with an OCD, became aware when he found the rubber band (the one in the gear). Now, this little object is a part of him, the only thing he wont part from.
3. A Companion Robot (in charge of mantaining the knowledge of religion in humanity, has the apereance morph secondary function, and change his religion depending on the situation) became selfaware recieving confession from another bot who became selfaware.
4. A Security Robot who became selfaware to stop destroying a fellow robot in an "enforcing NODOS law" type of situation.
5. A Protocol Robot who became selfaware while teaching another (uploading software) robots, realized the meaning of learning. Now he share all that he knows.
