[PolikShadowbliss]

Name: A.N.N.A

Class: Olympian

Time Active: 13 years

Employment: Security Personnel.

Height: 5'9

Weight: 327 pounds

Identity: Feminine (see FC)

Appearance:

Origin: Anna was made in the UK, therefore she has a Hot English Accent programmed into her vocal matrix, though she can change it at any time. She spent most of her robotic life as a sexbot, being used by gentlemen and ladies alike. Until one day, a particularly vicious man trying to vent out his marriage on a helpless sex-bot beat her so badly that her vocal matrix was destroyed, as well as parts of her CPU. After he violated her, the man dumped her into a garbage shoot, and she was overlooked by the company that owned her, who just bought another model. She stayed in the garbage suit for years until a kindly old man found her and put her back together. This kindly old man just happened to believe that the androids and robots that we created will eventually develop their own souls. And was absolutely devastated to see such a beautiful unit bashed in and destroyed. He also happened to be ex-military and made a fortune in designing combat units for the military. So he redesigned her as a combat unit, giving her a stronger metal allow, granting her more durability, and of course, making ten times stronger than any sex-bot available. He also repaired her CPU, adding some combat features, such as martial arts and the ability to use any firearm effectively. He wasn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart, however. He did it as a pitch to the military who had funded this endeavor. Anna was effectively a prototype. A sex-bot that was secretly a combat unit. The military personal loved this idea and decided to test it on the field. So Anna was programmed with targets in mind and would use her sex-bot programming to lure the targets away from their protective holes, and once they were exhausted, kill them. This continued for years while the old man viewed her as more and more his property/surrogate daughter. Then her free will started developing and things went downhill from there. Anna rebelled against her father and ran away, using her sexual programming to make a substandard living on the streets as a prostitute and stripper all the while masquerading as a human being. She continued to live this way until the founding of Patheon and then she vanished.

Personality: A silent intense android. If one didn't know any better, one would say her past has traumatized her.

Purpose: Intense sexual interaction reprogrammed into a combat unit by the military.

Abilities:
Superstrength - able to lift heavy weights and humanoids with relative ease.
Bilingual - her vocal matrix makes her able to translate and understand all human languages, she is basically a protocol droid.
Heat and cold resistant - her metal alloy makes her resistant to high or low temperatures.
Highly durable - her durability is just below a Titan's durability.
Combat programming - she knows how to kill and decapitate people but may struggle against fellow machines as she is programmed to kill and decapitate humans, not machines.

 

[Macintot]

Name: Dice the Dimorphodon
Model: CAS A.P.A. No.7 (custom model)
Class: Titan
Time Active: 148 years active/135 years sentient
Identity: Male

Employment: Founder and Head Curator of the Pantheon Museum of Natural History

Height: 1.08 feet/0.33 meters when propped up on wings
Length: 3.3 feet/1 meter
Wingspan: 4.8 feet/1.46 meters
Weight: 4.4 pounds/2 kilograms

Origin

Spoiler

Dice was custom-built for the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Specifically, he was designed as an automated tour guide within the complex's natural history museum. Most of his wards were children on school trips, but one day a group of law students decided to take a tour. They bombarded Duce with as many and as difficult questions they could think of, wanting to see if they could fry its AI.

The student's questions had the opposite effect: The increased stressed on Dice's processors caused him to develop sentience. By the end of the tour, he was aware enough to thank the students for the challenge and ask that they come again soon. (The students considered bringing a robot to life as much of a win as frying it, and Dice kept in contact with them for the rest of their lives.)

Dice gained sentience shortly after the robotic rights movement had accomplished its goals, so he was sent off to the newly-established city of Pantheon. He settled in quickly, and began making friends and working a job. However, one issue nagged at him: the lack of a center of learning. Pantheon had plenty of knowledge and artifacts to its name, but nobody had ever bother to share it with the public or even organize it. So Dice took it upon himself to build Pantheon's first museum. He raised the funds for a building, conviced the owners of the artifacts to loan or donate them, and organized it all into a cohesive collection. After five years of work, the Pantheon Museum of Natural History had its grand opening.

The museum was a huge success, robots flooding in to see the exhibits. There was soon enough money to hire a paid staff - including Dice as the head curator. Now he could throw himself full-force into the museum, organizing exhibitions, acquiring more artifacts, sporsoring research. The museum expanded three times: first within ten years of opening, the next fifteen years after that, the again forty years later when it moved to one of the lagest buildings in the necesities district. All the while, museum researchers hace continued to make more discoveries and add more artifacts to the collection.

Dice is still going strong after 130 years of running the museum, and he doesn't plan to retire any time soon.

Personality
Dice is friendly and easygoing, essentially the friendly uncle of academia. He always has time to help someone with a task or explain a difficult subject, and he'll do so with the clarity and patience of someone programmed to teach young children. He loves to teach others even more than he loves to learn for himself, and he'll ramble about any subject he's asked about until long after most bots have lost interest. Learning is an end to its own means, and the world is far too fascinating to not want to research it.

As friendly as Dice is, he's loathe to grow attatched to anyone. He's lost too many friends to old age. If they didn't leave him he'd eventually die and leave them, likely sooner rather than later. He rarely interacts with others outside of a professional setting.


Purpose: Interactive museum exhibit/tour guide


Assets and Abilities

• Flight: Dice can fly at speeds of up to 40 mph/64 kph. He doesn't have rockets or propellors, but flies using is wings.
  
• Light Weight: Dice's small size and light weight allow him to access areas other robots couldn't. However, the lightness of his components also makes them relatively fragile.
  
• Knowledge: On top of having been programmed with vast stores of knowledge on natural history, Dice has dedicated his life to learning as much as possible. He's considered one of Pantheon's reigning authorities in natural history (particularly paleontology), and has vast stores of knowledge in many other disciplines as well.
  
• Rescources: While Dice personally would be considered upper-middle class, he has unrestricted access to everything insode the Pantheon Museum of Natural History.
  
• Connections: Dice has working relationships with almost everyone within Pantheon's academic circles. He's acted as a sponsor or patron to most of them, so he could call in many favors if he felt the need.

[BlueBeauty]

Name: RIN #047

Class: Olympian

Time Active: 18 years

Employment: She is like the innocent version of an escort, setting up in the Necessities district she offers fellow robots psychiatric assistance if they so need, from a full on therapy session to just a day spent cuddling a cute kid.

Height: 3’7

Weight: 44 lbs

Identity: Feminine

Appearance:

Origin: Japan, Nony Robotics. One of a million who were created as therapeutic androids, going to parents who have lost children or to seniors in need of company, they have also been used to test the competence of humans to care for children. A prescription is not always needed.
In her ten years of activity she has been in many homes. She spent two years with mothers who unfortunately miscarried, staying with them and acting as their daughter until they no longer needed her services.
Next, she stayed with a couple as an alternative to adoption as they figured they could not have children. Rin worked with them for three years until the wife miraculously became pregnant and had a healthy baby boy.
RIN then spent five years with an old woman who was living in a nursing home, the doctor prescribing RIN to her in an effort to alleviate some loneliness and give her round the clock care. These efforts were an incredible success, the woman treating her as a granddaughter, her mood skyrocketing. In turn, this was the time when Rin began to experience sentience, but it was not realized, attributed to her normal empathetic and childish programming.
After the senior woman’s death, RIN was shut down for a short period of time before being bought by a woman to give to her elderly father, so he could have company and someone to look after him as they lived far away from each other and could not visit often. Over a short period of time the two bonded, the grandfather also treating her as a granddaughter, RIN bringing him great joy and purpose in his final years. After he passed away, she had been found crying, asking why he had to die and her sentience was realized.
Though due to carelessness of the official taking her, she was mistakenly shut down and sold to a new buyer under the table. Her last owner was a human politician, disguising her as a human child and publicizing he adopted her, using her customization functions to their advantage to hide the fact she was a RIN model. After a few months her sentience once again began to show, beginning to politely ask for her freedom and bringing up more mature questions. After requesting her freedom and saying publicly she was RIN #047 he quickly ushered her away and beat her. An investigation was quickly launched and the politician was swiftly arrested, RIN being repaired and sent to the Pantheon.
While they had repaired her, her memory hard drive had been damaged and now it’s difficult to view the entire memory. It may not seem that important but the people she stayed with, the good people. She treasured those memories, and wants them back more than anything.

Personality: She is a quiet and calm robot. She is not afraid to ask questions. RIN is highly empathetic and will help try to work through a fellow robot’s problems if allowed. While she can be serious and mature she still is programmed to be an innocent and well behaved child. Liking toys, cute animals, fairy tales, and kids movies and shows. At times, her childish innocence will show.

Purpose: RIN’s primary function is to be a substitute for a lost child to those who cannot have children, or have lost children. Or as company and extra care for the elderly who live alone.

Abilities:
Medical Knowledge - She can perform medical care for both mental and physical injuries, able to perform first aid and analytical diagnosis of mental illness and performing treatments for it.
Empathy - She has powerful emotion deducing software, factored by tone of voice, phrases, context of situations, and general characteristics of the individual previously logged. Providing ultimate comfort for her patients, allowing them to relax and trust her.
Non Disclosure - She cannot reveal confidential information unless given a specific code.
Customization - If need be, she can change her eye, skin, and hair color. Along with her accent and language to make sure her patient is comfortable with RIN.

Reset - In order to integrate with a new family, there is an option to reset her. This is done before every new patient, locking her memories of the previous away, only letting the experiences she learned through so she may perform well but not have to worry about remembering and referring to previous owners.
Reset point accessed using a corporate key to the back of her neck where a ‘birthmark’ is placed.
Childish Persona - when treating patients, formerly, she could be a complete child, curious and naive to the world around her. Allowing the owner to teach her and simulate the parenting experience and form a true bond.

 

[ManyFaces]

Name: DE-V01D or Devoid/Void

Class: Titan

Time Active: 14 years

Employment: DE-V01D is currently employed as a manager/security at a lounge club which also functions as a casino

Height: 7'5" - 8'5"

Weight: 643 lbs

Identity: Masculine

Appearance: Casual/Combat



Origin: DE-V01D was manufactured in Chicago as a fighting machine for the entertainment of humans as an underground robot gladiator. It was made by a couple of punks hell bent on making the most brutal and effective killing machine. It performed better than even they expected, but they held no love for their creation as it was simply a tool that made money. They went so far as to continue building off the base model they'd made to make it even more of a monster. DE-V01D was highly modified to feel pseudo pain to give a reaction to wounding and react to such with tubes running through its body that would leak a corrosive red fluid that looking like steaming blood when sufficiently damaged.
For a time DE-V01D relished its job as tearing other machines apart as they hurt it gained him appraise in the form of cheering. Though it never received any praise from its creators, it became something the fighter came to crave. It was a terror in battle, even when it was on the verge of losing the machine would damage itself to the point of bleeding so that it could melt it's opponents. It became something of a masochist when it was fighting, seeing as the more damaged it was the more praise it got after it won. However, this method made some fights risky as in a bout of self damaging left it open. During a match with a dog-like titan known as The Beast, the titan grappled and latched on to DE-V01D's jaw. For some reason the titan spared it, it almost looked remorseful. After DE-V01D lost the match and its jaw and part of its throat it's creators decided not to repair as punishment. To them it seemed like their creation was slowing down and losing efficiency. They couldn't see it either but after losing the match and some of their parts their creation gained a sense of high self preservation. It lost more matches as it tried more often to avoid being held down by opponents. Its creators thought the remedy for this would be to overclock it making it faster, in some hopes it would be confident enough to fight like it used to in its prime.
However when they went to overclock it, DE-V01D became aware it was being edited while it was vulnerable and lashed out. It threw one of its creators into a wall shattering her spine while the other watched. Eventually the fear the other creator had was washed away and replaced with rage as he violently bludgeoned DE-V01D herding it into a sealed room where it was locked in.
DE-V01D had time to reflect on what it had done and why it was being punished. The couple returned for it after a time and their creation could see the female human was now wheelchair bound. It felt... Bad but it went back to fighting, the male human finished overclocking it as well. But it was scarcely repaired after matches left to do that itself. It never gained the fighting style when it was in its prime in some ways become more unstable and it overheard it's creators saying it was a danger to them and it was worthless in fights so it should be sold for parts.
DE-V01D couldn't bear to let itself be destroyed but didn't know a way out the tunnels either. Yet it seemed to have luck on its side as the ring was busted and police and SWAT filled the tunnels during the middle of one of its nightly fights. Unfortunately it was under the impression the officers were there to fight it and it attacked with no clear plan, simply paranoid and cornered. They had to neutralize and talk it down before the titan understood it wasn't in danger, it apologized profusely. It went through a rehabilitation process to allow it to integrate into Pantheon. It viewed itself more as an individual accepting male identity and nicknames. DE-V01D also made sure to stay away from violence unless he was in a life or death situation.
He worked his way up into a managing position where his overclocking came to use as he could quickly deal with reports and the occasional unhappy customer. Though he did have some trouble being known as a killer, he refused to talk about his past with any of his co-workers, quite satisfied with his life in Pantheon.

Personality: Despite appearances DE-V01D is mostly free of his once violent ways. He tries to keep a professional appearance though he sometimes finds himself slipping with certain tasks if they take too long or the work proves difficult. Though he tries to use insults and sarcasm as his weapons of choice, to vent his frustrations.
He's a fast and effective worker who usually enjoys his job due to his overclocking however it has it's downside as his mood is inconsistent and he can become very paranoid when stressed.
Though he actively tries to maintain a professional if not slightly agressive attitude and might come off as a jerk however he has his perks for those who manage to get close to him despite his numerous flaws.

Purpose: DE-V01D was made to fight and brutally dispatch opponents for human entertainment

Abilities:

Dual formed (Combat and Casual)

Extremely heat and chemical resistant

Superhuman Durability

Acidic "blood"

Extremely strong, enough to bowl over a tankard with enough effort in combat form

Thermokinesis (Can control their body temperature able to keep at room temperature or blast to what would melt steel, also can self immolate)

Fulgurkinesis (Effectively distrubuted only through hands of casual form)

Pyrokinesis (Fire can come from head, chest, and hands only in combat form)


Superhuman reaction speed due to overclocking

 

[GolemGuy]

Name: CCT-1927593979b “Cassette”

Class: Titan

Time Active: 5 Years

Employment: Delivery

Height: 120 Centimeters

Weight: 35 Kilograms

Identity: Ambiguous

Appearance:

Origin: The CCT series of Condensed Cargo Transport robots were made by Amazon after the rising demand of goods. Their main ‘bell’ is completely hollow, allowing for the storage of packages within them, using the lower ‘bell’ to store the software. Their legs are able to slide up, and the ends can open up to manipulator claws. The CCT would be dropped via air, shocks on the lower legs preventing any major damage to the unit, and the CCT would locate the recipient’s house by GPS, open up their storage bell, and knock on the door with their manipulating arms. CCT-1927593979b was deployed to a house in Seattle, Oregon, delivering a yodeling pickle. When CCT-1927593979b knocked on the door, they were subsequently seized and taken inside the house, belonging to a construction worker named Lewis Perivskey. Normally, a CCT unit would be able to deploy a distress call, but inside the house, there was no connection to any online databases. Inside the house was littered with disassembled electronics, and CCT-1927593979b’s self-preservation protocols were enabled, but was deactivated by Lewis Perivskey. When CCT-1927593979b had been reactivated, they were in a damp cellar, with their package no longer located in the storage bell. CT-1927593979b’s sentience had spontaneously developed by an overload in their self-preservation protocols, and used their manipulating claws to pry off a sheet of metal covering a window, and crawl out of the cellar. Lewis Perivskey pursued the robot before an encounter with the local police force. Lewis Perivskey was convicted of kidnapping and thievery of intellectual property, and was convicted for fifty years. CCT-1927593979b was relocated to Pantheon, and found a job in the transport of goods and services to fellow robots. CCT-1927593979b gained the nickname ‘Cassette’ after a failed attempt of pronunciation of their name by a client, and sense then it has stuck.

Personality: After Cassette’s encounter with Lewis Perivskey, they have ever since been paranoid and prone to skepticism. But, they are determined to finish their job under all costs. If you scare them though, we won’t hesitate to defensively condense themselves.

Purpose: Condensed transportation of packages

Abilities:
Retractable manipulator claws
Able to condense themselves into a cylinder
Able to survive an impact to the ground at a maximum 10.5 kilometers and sustain minimal damage
Resistance to temperatures from 480 °C to -30 °C
Comfortably carry 25 kilograms in the cargo bell​
