"Chatty" Stick is an artificial intelligence, Armored Core pilot and the right hand of RaD's leader "Cinder" Carla.

He is an AI, who apart from piloting an AC, doubles as RaD's system admin. Chatty has a largely impassive, straightforward, and professional demeanor, in contrast to Carla's brash and carefree attitude. Despite being a digital being, he appears to have a grasp on human emotions and is able to understand and express them to a certain degree. He has however, never truly learned to laugh, something he has regrets over as he is unable to relate to his boss' motto of: "Get your laughs while you can".

Quite uniquely for an AI, Chatty does not have a backup server that he can upload himself to, in the event his AC is destroyed. This was an intentional design choice by Carla, as she fears that Chatty may lose his sense of identity in the backup process. Essentially, this gives Chatty a unique perspective of being mortal like all other human pilots.

AC CIRCUS

CIRCUS is Chatty's AC, a yellow and mint tank made of RaD, BAWS, and Elcano parts. It wields all explosive weapons, including two Melinite explosive weapons on its arms, an RaD-made cluster missile launcher for its right back unit, and a Furlong vertical missile launcher for its left back unit.

Gameplay

Arena profile

The right hand of RaD's ringleader and chief engineer, "Cinder" Carla. One day, Carla built a simple suggestion-based AI to provide basic support and occasional entertainment. However, no matter what conversational prompt she gave "him," he would never say more than necessary. Instead, it seemed that he was content to be a good listener to his creator's free-spirited, eccentric ideas.

Translation differences

Chatty refers to Carla as "Chief" in the English version, which is instead "Boss" (ボス) in the Japanese script. Additionally, both refer to 621 as "Visitor" (ビジター) in Japanese, which the English script replaces with "Tourist."
