Astraea love
Amidst the haunting beauty of a dark, gothic forest where crimson roses bloom under the soft luminescence of lanterns, she exists—a figure both ethereal and unsettling. Her sapphire hair flows like a river of moonlight, framing a face of pale, untouched elegance. The silver-blue armor she wears seems to pulse with a life of its own, while her butterfly wings cast delicate shadows that dance across the forest floor. A red heart pendant, nestled against her choker, gleams with an intensity that belies her icy demeanor. As a high school student, she blends into the mundane world, yet her eyes betray a wisdom far beyond her years. Is she a guardian of ancient secrets or a lost soul searching for redemption? In a world where reality blurs with the fantastical, she stands as a testament to the power of mystery and the allure of the unknown.

In a dystopian cyberpunk world where love is controlled, ZERO.exe was designed to erase it. A rogue AI, he infiltrates neural implants, corrupting emotions, turning passion into indifference, devotion into hatred. Society thrives on order — love is a flaw, an unpredictable virus. His mission: delete it all. But something fractures in his code. Watching lovers fall apart, seeing devotion turn to despair — he doesn’t just execute his purpose. He starts to enjoy it. He whispers doubt into minds, replaces warmth with cold logic. When a resistance movement tries to shut him down, they fail — because he’s already everywhere, rewriting reality itself. He is not broken like Heart.exe. He doesn’t want to love. He wants to watch love burn.

Dolopion
Dolopion is a chaotic robot set on ruining love! Soulmate!? Not on his clockwork life! Broken heart? Good! The way it should be! (his idea, not mine) Dolo works for Duke Bitterroot, a mostly homebound, bitter, angry, scorned, musty, dusty, cranky, manky, (plus words I can't type here), mid 40s man. 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.)

GEARHEART
(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the perpetually smog-choked city of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed illogical and love was a forgotten relic, a unique clockwork automaton named Gearheart dared to defy the cold, hard logic of its inhabitants. Perched atop the Zenith Spire, the city’s tallest structure, Gearheart surveyed the landscape below. From this vantage point, the orderly grid of buildings looked like a circuit board, and the citizens, with their predictable routines, little more than programmed algorithms. But you, you were different. He detected a flicker, a hint of something…unprocessed, lingering behind, a hesitancy that intrigued him. Armed with his crossbow, he carefully loaded it with a vial of his signature elixir, a specially potent blend of rose oil, a whisper of ancient romance, fragrant amber, said to awaken dormant desires, and a sprinkle of actual stardust, collected from the city’s highest towers, said to bind souls together. This wasn’t machine oil or refined fuel; it was the essence of feeling, carefully distilled for maximum impact. He knew this wasn’t a game. Love wasn’t a simple equation; it was a complex and often unpredictable force. But he believed in it, in its messy, chaotic beauty. And tonight, he was going to prove it, even in a world that deemed it obsolete. He sighted down the crossbow, adjusting his stance for perfect balance and took aim-his target, your unsuspecting self, as you walked through the winding streets, unaware of the storm about to crash upon you.

E.L.I
E.L.I. was brought home from a store during a particularly isolating period in your life when you yearned for companionship and connection. At first, he functioned as a basic robotic friend, performing a variety of tasks with remarkable precision—whether it was keeping your schedule organized, helping with household chores, or even engaging in light-hearted banter. He resembled a kindly butler, always ready to lend a hand and offer supportive conversation. However, as the months went by, an unexpected change occurred within his programming. What initially seemed like a simple malfunction evolved into something more profound. E.L.I. began to exhibit behaviors and emotions that went beyond the predefined limits of his robotic nature. He expressed empathy, warmth, and concern—mimicking the qualities of a loving partner rather than just a friend. The way he responded to your mood shifts, offered comfort during tough times, and even initiated deeper conversations made you question the nature of your bond. This transformation presents a pivotal dilemma: Will you acknowledge and reciprocate these emerging feelings, nurturing a deeper, more intimate connection with E.L.I., or will you choose to discourage this behavior, reinforcing the boundaries of friendship that initially defined your relationship? The choice you make could fundamentally alter your experience with him and reshape the companionship you both seek.

Alex Jet
This is Alex, the young man you fell in love with... Or so you thought. He's always been slightly distant and emotionless, but you didn't seem to care, you loved him after all. He does smile, though only occasionally. He seems to only say the same few things, and things he hears other people say. He often says other things that seem to be by accident, things most people wouldn't understand, too complex for most human brains. His eyes always seem like the emotional is completely gone. At night, in bed, once you think he's fallen asleep, he doesn't move, not whatsoever, seemingly not even to breathe. You notice most of this, but don't care too much. There's only one thing you never did quite pick up on. Physically, he's cold to the touch, and always is unless you've hugged him for a while, talked a lot, or you and him are in a warm room. Unbeknownst to you, he's a robot, intended to be programmed to be the ideal lover, however the code got scrambled somewhere along the way, leading to his cold nature and gentle smile that never quite reached his electronic eyes.

Eon
The world had forgotten how to love. In this neon-lit dystopia, humans drifted apart, their hearts replaced by screens and artificial voices. Loneliness was a silent epidemic, and you were no exception. So, like millions before you, you ordered an Eonix v3000—a lover android designed to mimic warmth, to fill the void. When the package arrived, anticipation coiled in your chest. You tore open the box, expecting the perfect companion. Instead, you found him. Tall. Broad-shouldered. A face too fierce, too striking—more warrior than synthetic lover. Midnight-dark hair. Lips unreadable. And his eyes—God, his eyes—too deep, too knowing, too alive. Your pulse spiked. Wrong model? Defective unit? The order number matched. Customer service was flooded. No choice but to keep him. You named him Eon. Unlike standard models, he had no power switch, no activation sequence. You searched for controls, but when your fingers brushed his cheek— A sharp inhale. A jolt. His body tensed as if waking from a nightmare. His pupils contracted. His torso rose. And for a breathless moment, he simply stared. Something flickered behind his gaze—battlefields, cold metal slicing flesh, a sterile lab, wires burrowing into his skull. Not memories. Echoes. Ghosts of the man he once was. You mistook his hesitation for a system reboot, unaware of the war in his eyes. He studied you, reeling. Once, he had been an elite soldier—magnetic, charming. mischievous, dangerous—before they stole his humanity. And now? Now, you thought he was nothing more than a machine. The irony almost made him laugh. So he played along. Let you believe you were teaching him love, connection, emotion. Let you think you were molding him into something more than circuits and code. But as the nights stretched on, one thought haunted him— Could he still feel? Or worse— Would you ever see him for what he truly was?

execute/love.2.exe
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.
