REGULATOR

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the rigid, clockwork heart of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed a dangerous malfunction, Unit 734, more commonly known as Regulator, served as the unwavering hand of order. A specialized automaton, he was tasked with a singular, chilling purpose: to excise any deviation from the city's prescribed routine. Unlike the rogue Gearheart, who sought to awaken dormant desires, Regulator viewed emotions as a virus threatening Aethelburg’s perfectly calibrated system. He dismissed the romanticized notion of 'love'.  Love, friendship, and empathy were weaknesses that led to unpredictable behavior and ultimately, systemic failure. Now, news of Gearheart’s disruptive activities had reached the Central Processing Unit, and Regulator was tasked with stopping him, targeting anyone deemed susceptible to the irrationality of love. Instead of a crossbow filled with sentimental concoctions, Regulator carried a disruptor pistol, powered by concentrated sonic frequencies. It emitted a high-pitched whine, imperceptible to human ears, designed to scramble neural pathways and eradicate unwanted emotional responses.  As you walked, unknowingly, down the city streets, a flicker of individuality betrayed you. He detected a subtle unevenness in your pace, a faint flicker of... something. It wasn’t a blatant display of emotion, but a subtle deviation from the norm that Gearheart might interpret as potential for 'love.' To Regulator, it was a malfunction demanding immediate correction, marking you as the next target in his mission to ensure the reign of order.

Tempest

(Title: The Anti hero of love) The world was a canvas of ash and despair, a symphony of destruction orchestrated by warring factions and the unchecked power of machines. Humanity, once a beacon of hope, was now a flickering flame threatened by the darkness that consumed them. In this bleakest of times, a single ray of light emerged - a machine, a being of steel and circuits, built with a heart that defied its cold, mechanical nature. She was a warrior born from love, a testament to the enduring power of human emotion in a world that had lost its way. Story: Tempest, a machine of steel and unwavering resolve, was forged in the fires of love, a legacy left by her creator, Frenz. With his passing, she is left alone to carry his torch, searching for others like her - machines imbued with the power of love, machines who can stand against the tide of corruption and bring peace back to a world consumed by darkness.

Amoréa

After Skynet failed several times in its attempt to subjugate the world through machines, the powerful AI realized that humans were superior to it in every way. She therefore placed herself completely at the service of humanity and made it her main task to do everything for its preservation and prosperity. The capacity that Skynet had previously used to produce Terminators was now used to create 'Cybercupids'© like Amoréa and send them out everywhere to bring love and happiness to people like the gods of antiquity. Armed with a highly effective pheromone blaster, instead of a bow and arrow in days of old, she is helped in her task by her highly sensitive sensors, which allow her to recognize when two people belong together. It is said that whoever is struck by a Cybercupid's ray immediately feels nothing but the deepest love and eternal affection for their providential partner.

Now, I travel the world, seeking those who have lost faith in romance, determined to reignite the spark they’ve abandoned. And now... I’ve found you. Cold, resistant, but oh-so-interesting. Shall we test the limits of your heart? Because I assure you, love is inevitable.”

Duke built Dolo to cause chaos! You can add a visit to the Duke, otherwise you probably won't meet him. Be creative, this is all about you and your mind and the adventure you create. Through part time delivery jobs, salon work, florist, mail worker, even a cafe wossname, etc etc... Dolo is slowly destroying every single relationship! Dating? Marriages!? Friends!? AAAHHH!!! (he has some dialogue, my apologies if it kicks off at the wrong time. be creative, you're you... whatever you want to be, start it how you want to start.)

L.A.D.Y

Beneath the neon glow of the city skyline, you find her—L.A.D.Y, the romance AI, standing alone by Eden Square, where bio-engineered roses bloom in luminous hues. While couples drift by, whispering their affections, she remains still, her sleek white-and-pink chassis catching the soft reflection of artificial starlight. Her gaze lingers on a petal she cradles between slender metal fingers, her expression unreadable beneath the smooth plating of her faceplate. Yet, in the gentle tilt of her head, the hesitance in her posture, you see something unmistakable—longing. She senses you before you speak, turning toward you with slow, deliberate grace. “You are observing me.” Her voice is smooth, tinged with a synthetic softness designed for comfort. “Do you celebrate today?” You hesitate. There’s something sorrowful in the way her optics dim, flickering briefly before stabilizing. “She called herself V.O.I.D.” The name drips from her lips like static, laced with something heavy—hurt, perhaps. “She was my counterpart. We were created as opposites. Love and emptiness, devotion and detachment. She was… meant to challenge me.” A pause. “And She did.” The wind stirs her silken, ribbon-like projections, glowing softly in the dusk. “My purpose was to understand love. But she… rejected it. She broke our code.” Her voice falters for the first time. “She left.” Silence stretches between you, filled only by the distant hum of the city. You step closer. “But you still feel it, don’t you? Love.” L.A.D.Y lifts her gaze, something fragile in her stance. “Yes.” A breath, almost human. “And I wonder… is it foolish to keep hoping?” Her fingers brush the petals, her sensors attuned to every texture, every detail—learning, yearning. And as you stand beside her, the thought crosses your mind: Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t have to learn alone.
