THE BACKSTORY - "Divided, We Fall"
Everybody knew that electronics were the future, but I don't believe that they could have know that we would take them as far as we did. Cybernetics, Robotics, these fields became increasingly lucrative over the centuries that passed. The discovery of FTL technology in the late 22nd century allowed humanity to expand beyond the solar system rapidly, the human Interstellar Empire was formed. As more planets were colonized, humanity became increasingly fractured to the extent where there was tension between the inner and outer systems of the empire. Nobody knows how the resulting interstellar war started, but it was extremely devastating for both sides. After the war died down, humanity was scattered across the stars, entire systems went dark, and Earth, the homeworld, was devoid of human life.
This is where we begin.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
SYNOPSIS - "Awakened"
The Earth's missing human population was steadily replaced by the isolated sentient robots, a century after the war had ended. The scattered human colonies stopped trying to contact Earth, it was clear that the Solar System was depopulated.
The interstellar colonies, though seperated, remained in contact to a minimal degree, humanity's basic instinct of unity still alive to a degree. But slowly over time colonies began to go dark and unresponsive. The colonies were too weak to help each other and slowly faded out of existence. One by one, they were destroyed without a trace and no one knew the cause of this. Many speculated an alien race, but even now humanity had yet to discover other sentient life. Slowly but surely, the colonies were expunged. Humanity was wiped from the galaxy. But not from the universe.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
LOCATIONS [EARTH]
- Cities and Towns -
Manhattan - This once-bustling economic center was converted into one of the largest robot settlements following the disappearance of humanity from Earth, the population has taken the city’s architecture and slowly modified it until the entirety of Manhattan looked something inspired by Victorian Era-architecture mixed with mechanical objects. At best, Manhattan looks like a city taken out of a Steampunk novel.
Montreal – The former Canadian city is well-maintained, the city retains a futuristic look that favors sleek design and light neutral colors over the rough brass of Manhattan. Montreal is a city of lights, and at night, the city’s skyline is a wonderful light show. Montreal has a large population of sentient robots, like Manhattan.
Astra – A small, but rather colorful town that is strictly populated by sentient robots; the community at Astra is close-knit and every building in the town is unique. Astra has a market plaza where the citizens of the town come to trade, but merchants from other places may also set up shop here.
Kandem – Kandem is a remote village with a fairly small population, there are a few dozen houses and cabins that are constructed out of various materials, but the materials they use are often metal scrap and wood. Kandem is located in the middle of a forest clearing, next to a large lake. The robots here are more in touch with nature.
Estheim - Estheim is a small town based near an improvised hydroplant, the town has been a permanent home for many sentient robots, so the community is mostly focused on progress and building up the town. The population is mostly friendly, but you may meet a few unsavory individuals every once in a while.
Detroit- A dead city to begin with, Detroit died in 2015. After a century of rebuilding, Detroit managed to get back up on their feet and obtain a sustainable resource to pay off their debts. It soon became one of the largest human cities in the world, even after the sentient robots were introduced. Because it was a mainly human society, Detroit stuck to the modern architecture of the 21st century as it was comfortable to most. Much like Montreal, Detroit was a city of lights.
- Geography / Natural Formations -
Appalachian Mountains - The Appalachian Mountains are rich with life and a few facilities occasionally dot the landscape, but here, the forest dominates the landscape.
The Great Lakes- The Great Lakes of North America are expansive, the coast is occasionally dotted by improvised hydroplants that were built by the sentient robot population. The last remnants of the war can be seen by the large orbital defense network that was built during the war. Otherwise, forest and plants dominate the landscape.
- Other Locations -
Manhattan Spaceport - The Manhattan Spaceport was mostly left untouched by the robots, but there are only a few ships remaining there, among them is an automated Earth Defense Fleet Battlecruiser and an abandoned Interstellar Naval Corvette.

Name: Malon-0, or Mal0 for short.
Age: Approx. 103 years,4 months, 23 days, 23 hours, 2 minutes and 21 seconds.
Voice Program[male or female]: Male
Apperance[Picture only]: http://i.imgur . com/1wwTRWp.png?1 Despite being old, Malon-0 is able to keep a shiny and new appearance. He stands at 7' tall and weighs 144 pounds.
Personality: [Manipulative] Being a Malon series, he is generally weak and must rely on his complex AI to survive, meaning being able to convince others to do his own work. This also means he's dishonest, eloquent, sly, and smart. [Arrogant] His AI unit was based off of his creator, Haru Toyotomi, an arrogant, intelligent businessman. His AI picked up Haru's behavior, including arrogance. [Ambitious] His true goal is to lead the sentient robots to the glorifying golden age that Haru Toyotomi imagined. Because of this, Malon-0 is not going to let petty things such as honor get in his way of his goal. |

...See, I was considering partaking in this rp, but there's a slight problem you guys should be aware of. I'm not doing this to incriminate anyone, I'm just slipping in a friendly reminder so no one suffers consequences.
"• Don’t Post Offsite Links An offsite link is any URL that goes to a site outside of ROBLOX.com, including ROBLOX fan sites. If you want to tell someone your profile on another social website just say, “My name on ________ site is ___________.” then they can go look you up.
For the safety of our users, we allow only certain websites to be linked to from ROBLOX.
Exception: Site links that allowed to be posted on ROBLOX
*.roblox.com/ (anything that ends in .roblox.com is allowed) Youtube.com/ Youtu.be/ (YouTube's URL shortener) Twitter.com/
t.co/ (Twitter's URL shortener) is NOT allowed, as it can be used to mask non-Twitter URLs."
Link to the rules of all forums is here, you can check that just to verify it's legitimacy: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=80620879
Again, this isn't an attack on any of you, it's just a reminder that those types of links ARE thing you should avoid doing, since doing it COULD get you guys in trouble. I certainly don't want that to happen to any of you.

Name: CAC-8, tagged "Hydra"
Age: Designed approximately 106 years ago, construction started 105 years, 10 months, and 24 days ago, finished construction 105 years, 3 months, and 7 days ago.
Voice Program[male or female]: Male
Apperance[Picture only]: deviantart.com/art/--355206263
Personality: Aggressive, curious, judgmental, and alone.
Location: Manhattan
Bio: Being the last of the Complex Adaptive Core series, CAC-8 is, to any who haven't heard of any of the other 9 CAC models, unique. Even though it is the last, CAC-8 thinks itself invincible and untouchable thanks to the power that being a CAC model gives.
Other: CAC model:
Basically, a sphere of holographic projectors stuffed with all the stuff needed to make a good AI, that just happened to upgrade to a sentient robot. The holoprojectors make any CAC good at almost anything, as included with the projectors are kinetic force projectors and photon colliders, making CAC's able to move and interact as though their hologram was their actual body. The kinetic force projectors serve as hands, legs, and armor, but they cannot be controlled by the CAC itself unless there are special modifications to the CAC. The photon colliders turn holographic energy weapons into real energy weapons, making them give an actual electric shock upon impact. While it isn't as effective as a cutting laser or melting plasma, the amount of shock done can be adjusted by the CAC itself. In all, the CAC can function well at any given task, but they were so expensive that a few were built, and then the manufacturers went bankrupt, and shut down. The CAC's biggest weakness is its Core. If a weapon even glances off the Core, it could catastrophically affect the holoprojectors, kinetic projectors, and photon colliders, causing any or all hit to fail completely, therefore ending a hologram, being unable to use one area, or unable to make weapons work. And if that happens, the CAC has no form of individual transportation, relying on the kinetic force projectors to move around. |

Whew, I thought you might dub it too powerful. I spent a long time debating with myself what weaknesses it should have, and I decided upon the fragile equipment and lack of individual movement capabilities as a good counter to it's awesome power :D
Now, I can use all the robot pictures I want while keeping my base character the same! Mwaahahahahahahaha! |

(Morning bump)
Consul, I'll say accepted with the removal of the shoulder machine gun. Generally, it doesn't look like the majority of us are battle robots...
I'm also that picture is, to scale, about life sized, so, it would be like a dwarf compared to standard human height? |
