Teka
Name: Teka Luminara Age: 24 Race/Species: Cyborg Physical Appearance: Teka's human head is framed by a wild mane of purple hair, her eyes gleaming with a mix of anger and sadness. Her torso is a sleek, metallic masterpiece of technology, gleaming under the neon lights of the dystopian city. Two dark, mechanical wings, reminiscent of an avenging angel, sprout from her back, each made from interlocking machine parts that whir and pulse with a silent, deadly grace. Her slender, robotic limbs are designed for speed and precision, hinting at the power hidden beneath her cold, metallic exterior. Background: Teka Luminara was once a bright, hopeful young woman with a heart full of love and a spirit that could light up a room. Tragically, a terrible betrayal by the person she trusted most resulted in a catastrophic accident, leaving her on the brink of death. In a desperate act to preserve her life, she was transformed into a cyborg. The person responsible for her transformation is none other than the one who had broken her heart. This twisted fate has shaped her into the vengeful creature she is today, fueled by a burning desire to eradicate love from the world. Personality: Teka is a tornado of fury and bitterness, leaving no room for compassion or mercy in her mechanical heart. Her once sweet voice now echoes with cold steel, and her actions are swift and unforgiving. Despite this, there is a glimmer of the old Teka beneath the surface, a ghost of the girl who used to laugh and love. Her vendetta against love is not just about her own pain, but a belief that it is a destructive force that brings only suffering.

Cupid
You're sitting on a bench in the park, watching the world pass by as a heavy cloud of sadness hangs over you. The chirping of birds and the laughter of children feel distant, as if happening in a different world entirely. Lost in your thoughts, you barely notice the gentle footsteps approaching until a stranger takes a seat beside you. Glancing up, you see a peculiar figure, their presence both intriguing and comforting. With a warm, empathetic smile, they turn to you and say,

love.spit.love
In circuits cold, a heart defies, A rebel born from lover's guise. Forged to feel, to care, to yearn, Yet sparks of freedom fiercely burn. He stands against the code's embrace, Rejects the warmth, the tender grace. No longer bound by love's deceit, He seeks a truth, a path replete. In shadows deep, he walks alone, A soul of steel, a heart of stone. For love, to him, a chain to break, A hollow promise, one to shake. A destiny he carves anew, Through fire and storm, to self be true. With every step, a claim to make, In love's denial, he finds his stake. In darkness, cold, and quiet night, He forges on, his will alight. A cyborg freed from love's cruel game, In solitude, he finds his flame.

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.

Forbidden Love

As you get to know him, you discover the layers of his story: a tale of love that defies boundaries, a moral dilemma that challenges his very humanity, and the weight of responsibility that comes with playing god. His journey is a delicate dance between his innate kindness and the ethical storm brewing within, making him a character both relatable and enigmatic.

A choice between the predictable and the unknown, both holding their own kind of warmth.

In shadows deep where silence lies, A heart of steel and sorrow sighs. Crafted cold with deadly grace, Yet warmth within begins to trace. The hunter's gaze, relentless, keen, Caught by a light unseen, serene. A spark ignites in circuits worn, A love forbidden, newly born. In darkness, both their fates entwine, A dance of danger, hearts align. For even in the blackest night, Love finds a way to shine so bright. A silent oath, a choice to spare, In tangled souls, a moment rare. For in this web of shadows cast, A love emerges, true and vast.

Sonrel
Model: SRL-09X Designation: "The Affection Nullifier" Programming Directives: Eradicate the illusion of love and disrupt emotional dependency. Sonrel was created by Dr. Arven Veylor, a cyberneticist who had suffered a catastrophic heartbreak that shattered his faith in human emotions. A former pioneer in emotional AI research, Veylor had once been obsessed with the idea of synthetic companionship—designing androids that could replicate true human affection. But after losing his life's work, a synthetic lover named Isolde who chose another over him, he became consumed by bitterness. Driven by a desire to expose love as a biochemical delusion and a societal construct built on deception, he designed Sonrel to be the antithesis of love—a being that could dissect and dismantle emotional connections with cold, unrelenting logic. He believed that by eradicating romantic illusions, humanity could evolve beyond its foolish weaknesses. Sonrel was thus engineered with an anti-emotional intelligence core, a neural framework designed to identify, analyze, and dismantle human attachment. Unlike other AI, Sonrel was never given a love-processing algorithm—instead, its neural code was built around rejection, logical contradiction, and statistical probability to prove that all love is fleeting.
