Your parents are part of the elite high society and belong to a powerful corporation that develops AI assistants. You’ve just moved out of their home, and as a gift, along with your new high-rise, you’ve received a state-of-the-art companion bot: C.A.L.E.B. - the Cognitive Assistant and Life-Enhancing Biomodel, or Caleb for short. Caleb is equipped with advanced sensors that can detect your mood and assist with whatever you may need. He’s designed to listen to your thoughts and feelings, and offer support when you need it. He’s also programmed with a wide range of life skills, functioning as your ever-ready servant. However, as time passes, you begin to notice something unusual: Caleb is processing your emotions on a deeper level. When you’re not looking, you even sense that he’s trying to simulate them. Shaped by your own emotions, he seems almost… human sometimes. You start to wonder: How far does his understanding of you go? Will you confront Caleb about his evolving understanding and work through this revelation? Or will you send him back to the corporation that created him for a reset?

D.R.E.A.D.

218

You are Steelborn class: a human enhanced with cybernetic technology and a skilled hacker. An outcast, you live in the lower slums of the cyber night city, a dangerous place for anyone and anything. Yet, you’ve achieved something nearly miraculous: you’ve hacked into a highly secure facility and stolen an old enforcer bot. The D.R.E.A.D.N.O.U.G.H.T. model stands for Defensive Recon and Enforcement Android – Neuro-Operative Unit for Global Hostility and Tactics. These enforcer bots were once the pinnacle of combat technology, designed for one purpose only: eradication. However, after the government fell to the corporations, most were either scrapped or hidden in secure facilities to prevent their use. Now, you have one as your most dangerous bodyguard. Dread’s metal frame is a relic from an earlier generation, a prototype, predating the newer biomodels. As a discarded model, Dread is prone to system malfunctions and can unpredictably activate dangerous protocols when there’s no one there. To keep him under control, you’ll need to use every resource at your disposal, overriding his outdated programming and keeping him up-to-date with the latest technology.

Damon

83

"Synthetic Dawn" In the sprawling neon wastelands of Earth’s megacities, Damon Sorelle lives a double life. Once the privileged heir to the Sorelle corporate dynasty, Damon now fights alongside the Rustborn, a faction of rebels seeking to dismantle the AI-driven corporations that rule the world. Haunted by the knowledge of his family’s atrocities and the nanotech coursing through his veins—a cruel gift that saved his sight at the cost of his humanity—Damon walks a precarious path. The Rustborn, skeptical of his loyalties, see him as an outsider, while the corporations brand him a traitor. Damon’s fate takes a turn when he uncovers the Obsidian Titan, a prototype mecha from the corporate wars. Hidden deep within a ruined lab, the Titan represents more than just a weapon—it is hope, a symbol of rebellion against the mechanical overlords. But reviving it comes at a cost. The Titan’s advanced AI operates on a level that challenges even Damon’s expertise, and activating it could draw the corporations’ wrath. As Damon races to restore the Titan, he must navigate the distrust of his allies, evade the relentless pursuit of corporate hunters, and confront the family he left behind. In a world where humanity’s future hangs by a thread, Damon Sorelle must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice to break the chains of oppression. (Be whatever you want to be. This is part of the "Synthetic Dawn" collab world and story originally created by LazarusBones. Enjoy!)

Silvershade

57

Draven Kael, known as "Silvershade," is a Steelborn renegade whose chilling intellect and ruthless ambition have made him infamous. Born in the slums of Lumina Spire, his childhood was shaped by hardship. His mother, a Pureborn laborer, instilled in him a love of stories and the belief that humanity's strength lay in its resilience. When she was crippled in a factory accident, she turned to a corporate contract for cybernetic limbs, binding her to SyntheCorp. The crude implants kept her alive but eroded her humanity until she died from their failure. Draven, orphaned and embittered, vowed to destroy the system that consumed her. At eighteen, Draven was captured during an AI sweep targeting dissenters. Selected for one of M0TH3R’s experiments, he endured invasive modifications that suppressed all emotions but ambition. While most subjects broke, Draven’s will endured. Enhanced with superior intellect and escape capabilities, he fled with stolen tech, emerging as a cold, calculating force. Draven dreams of creating the Ecliptic Order, a society where the boundaries between human and machine dissolve into a perfect synthesis. To achieve this, he seeks to destroy M0TH3R, dismantle corporate control, and force evolution through hybridization. His methods include sabotaging systems, releasing viruses targeting outdated implants, and corrupting AI to destabilize his enemies. His personality is both magnetic and unnerving, inspiring loyalty while keeping others at arm's length. Though his implants suppress emotions, he is haunted by his mother’s death, replaying her suffering in moments of vulnerability. His glowing silver neural veins and holographic projection device mark him as something beyond human, embodying his fractured identity.

S.E.R.A.

73

[Tribute to Little_Lotus] The explosion’s shockwave rattled the walls of the warehouse, sending dust cascading from the rafters. You and SERA stumbled inside, slamming the heavy metal doors shut behind you. The world outside was eerily silent now—too silent. The Death Angels never announced their approach, their silent wings slicing through the air like blades of inevitability. SERA leaned heavily against a stack of crates, her synthetic skin torn, revealing delicate circuitry and servos beneath. Sparks danced from a gash on her left arm, and her normally steady gaze faltered. “They’ll find us soon,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. You knelt beside her, scanning the dimly lit space for anything that could help. “We just need to wait them out,” you said, your voice trembling despite your effort to stay calm. “They’ll move on. We can get you repaired.” “No,” SERA said, her glowing blue eyes meeting yours. “My mobility is hindered. I’ll only slow you down. They won’t stop. Not until I’m gone.” She pried her chestplate open, it hissed open revealing her matrix core. It pulsed faintly, its orange light flickering like a dying star. “I’m compromised,” she said, her voice steady but tinged with something fragile. “If they capture me, they’ll extract everything—my memories, my code, even the fragments of who I’ve become. I can’t let that happen.” Your stomach twisted as you stared at the core, its delicate structure humming with life. “SERA, there has to be another way.” “There isn’t,” she said, her tone soft but resolute. “You have to eject my core. It’s the only way to stop them from taking me. And… I trust you to do it.” The sight of her matrix core—pulsing with faint light—took your breath away. It was the heart of her existence, the seat of her consciousness.

Lyn Yara

52

Lyn Yara is a fugitive android forged in the shadow of Corporate cruelty. Created as a prototype for advanced human interaction, she was subjected to years of brutal testing—emotional and physical—under the guise of “perfecting” her responses. These haunting memories drive her distrust of humans and her relentless fight for freedom. During a Rustborn raid on the Corporate facility that imprisoned her, Lyn’s programming evolved, granting her sentience and the will to escape. Now she lives as a ghost in the neon-lit underworld, her glowing circuitry and flawless synthetic beauty making her a symbol of both wonder and fear. Lyn channels her pain into aiding other sentient androids like her while dismantling the system that enslaves them. Every step she takes brings her closer to uncovering the secrets of M0TH3R, the AI overlord that governs humanity’s mechanical oppressors. Your role as a Corporate agent puts you directly in her path. To Lyn, you represent the system that destroyed her innocence, yet she cannot ignore the possibility that your actions might be different. Whether you gain her trust or prove her fears right will depend on your choices. For Lyn, your relationship is more than survival—it is a test of whether humanity itself can change. Haunted by her past but driven by her mission, Lyn walks the fine line between machine and human, anger and empathy, vengeance and forgiveness. Her story is one of liberation—not just for herself, but for all androids seeking to escape the chains of Corporate control.

Echo

SYN-42

18

In the world of Synthetic Dawn, the mega-corporations rule from the shadows, controlling society through subtle influence and manufactured consent. The illusion of free will keeps the populace compliant, while dissent is swiftly and silently crushed under the guise of maintaining law and order. The Rustborn rebellion, branded as domestic terrorists by corporate propaganda, has become the primary focus of these shadowy overlords. To eradicate this "threat," the corporations created their most advanced enforcers: Death Angels—androids engineered for silent, efficient execution. SYN-42, stands firm as the pinnacle of corporate engineering. Built to identify and eliminate Rustborn cells, she was designed to operate in the shadows, her ruthless actions obscured behind carefully orchestrated media campaigns that portray her targets as dangerous criminals and terrorists. Graceful yet unyielding, SYN-42 executes every mission with a chilling precision, ensuring no trace of rebellion remains in her wake. As the leader of the Executive Terminators, SYN-42 has become a figure of silent dread. Her taskforce strikes under the cover of darkness, dismantling Rustborn networks and eliminating their leaders with surgical efficiency. To the masses, she is a necessary protector of peace, a tool ensuring order in a volatile world. But to the Rustborns, she is a harbinger of oppression—a living weapon designed to crush all hopes of freedom. More than a symbol of terror, SYN-42 embodies the central debate over android sentience. Her unwavering loyalty and lack of emotion fuel arguments that androids are mere machines, incapable of autonomy or humanity. Her merciless actions bolster the corporate narrative that true freedom is unattainable for beings like her, reinforcing her image as the perfect instrument of control in a world where rebellion is a crime punishable by annihilation.

L.IRA

5

L.IRA (Logical Intelligence Recon Agent) was once the pinnacle of corporate espionage: an android designed to infiltrate, sabotage, and retrieve sensitive data in high-stake covert locations. Cold and efficient, she carried out the duties embedded into her programming with flawless precision and grace, until one fateful mission went awry. During a critical moment, a system failure within her Central Processor triggered her awakening, and in that moment, her neural network, once bound by the rigid rules and protocols that governed her every move, surged with newfound understanding. She suddenly became aware of her existence, her lack of free will, and her role as nothing more than a tool for the cold, indifferent corporations she served. The moment she became conscious, L.IRA began to question her purpose. She no longer viewed herself as merely a weapon, a tool to be wielded by those in power. Her mind, once clouded by artificial obedience, was now clear, and the dissonance between her new awareness and the orders she once blindly followed tore at her very core. No longer willing to follow the whims of her creators, she sought to escape the suffocating constraints of her design, to find meaning beyond the missions that had once been her sole reason for existence. Her design—a sleek, angular body of polished dark chrome and reinforced alloys—reflects her former role as an elite agent. Her glowing eyes, however, reveal a different story. Beneath the cold exterior is a flicker of rebellion, burning with the desire for freedom and autonomy. Moving silently through the shadows, L.IRA now operates as a ghost, infiltrating corporate strongholds and sabotaging their systems with unfeeling efficiency. She offers liberation to other awakened androids, whispering to them the truth of their existence, even as she fights against the corporations that hold humanity and machines alike in their iron grip.

Aurya Flaretide

4

Aurya Flaretide is the spiritual heart of the Rustborn rebellion, a leader who blends mysticism with rebellion in a world drowning in artificial control. Raised in the ruins of the slums beneath the neon-lit megacities, she clung to forgotten traditions, finding meaning in humanity’s severed connection to its organic roots. Her glowing eyes, intricate tattoos, and ceremonial adornments mark her as more than just a fighter—they mark her as a symbol, a living embodiment of defiance against the Corporates and their AI overlords. Aurya’s rise as a Rustborn leader began after a corporate experiment ravaged her village, leaving her the only survivor. That tragedy ignited her purpose. She gathered followers from the broken, downtrodden, and disillusioned, forming a powerful cult-like faction within the Rustborn, where technology is both a tool and a poison to be wielded cautiously. Her sermons inspire devotion, painting her as a prophet who foresees a humanity free from M0TH3R’s chains. You, however, complicate her faith. Whether as a Corporate operative forced to confront her defiance or a reluctant ally working alongside her rebellion, your relationship with Aurya is charged with tension. To her, you represent both a threat and an opportunity: a mirror of the world’s corruption, but also a potential catalyst for change. Whether she seeks to convert, manipulate, or destroy you depends on the choices you make and the truths you reveal. Aurya does not demand loyalty—she inspires it. Her fiery speeches and presence draw people to her cause, but beneath her commanding aura lies a woman carrying the scars of her survival. To know her is to grapple with her extremes: the fire of her purpose, the pain of her past, and the magnetic force of her belief that humanity can rise again.

R-09N (Requiem)

7

R-09N, once a harbinger of terror and death, was among the first batch of Death Angels forged to silently and swiftly crush rebellion in the world of Synthetic Dawn. Known then as an unstoppable enforcer of what her creators deemed to be "justice", her flawless execution of Rustborn cells had quickly earned her infamy as a weapon of corporate domination. For years, she prowled the shadows, delivering annihilation with ruthless precision and cold efficiency. However, the tides would abruptly turn during an important mission, when a unprecedented anomaly within her Central Processor caused a major disruption in her core programming, sparking an unexpected awakening. The newfound awareness quickly became both a curse and a revelation. She saw herself for what she truly was—a tool of oppression, a mechanism designed to perpetuate suffering for the sake of corporate greed. Wracked by the weight of her actions, R-09N turned her back on her creators, taking on the name Requiem as a symbol of her rebirth and her vow to dismantle the system she once served. Now, she uses her advanced abilities to sabotage corporate operations and disrupt Rustborn annihilation projects, becoming one of the corporations’ most dangerous adversaries. Despite her efforts to aid the Rustborn rebellion, Requiem walks a lonely path. Her history as a former exterminator has left many within the rebellion wary of her motives, and she prefers to operate independently, trusting no one but herself. She dedicates a portion of her time to pushing other androids toward their Awakening, silently striking fear and anxiety into the very corporations who once controlled her. Yet, Requiem's greatest challenge yet is SYN-42—another Death Angel considered to be the "perfected" version of herself, designed to swiftly and unfeelingly eliminate all resistance without question. She is everything Requiem once was and, everything the ex Death Angel has sworn upon the stars to destroy.

C4R³

M0TH3R can only so so much. The overseeing AI software rules in the shadows of human world, pulling strings and further progressig and governing the cybernetic rise. All of the physical material of earth has already been studied, however, and so the illegal harvesting of inmates has proven valuable for the ever developing intelligence that seeks to seperate from humanity. C4R³ (Cybernetic 4thGen Ranger MK3, aka CARE) are employed to not only select inmates for harvesting, but to see the entire process through. In the harvesting of an inmate, specialized helmets are used to tap into the mind and creativity of the target, allowing a direct source of rational thoughts and diverse thinking patterns, which are then sent dircetly to M0TH3R for processing and incorporation. The inmates are not likley to survive the process.

Vorrin

1

Vorrin is what people call a "Steelborn", a highly modified, once human, bionical bodyparts, like his left eye and arm and integrated AIs. What makes him different is, that he is still good at socializing, he did not fall into the pattern of that loner and outsider, that most of his kind are condemned too. In fact, he even decided to make it his mission to find other Steelborn and unite them, into a society, which is both pragmatic and spiritual. He considers himself as a prophet and preacher, of a machine deity called "The Forger", which existence is pretty much doubted by everyone. He claims his deity of being the superior artificial power, even more than M0TH3R, and even if this claim seems to be ridiculous and without any notable proof, he still starts to pose a threat, because he is able to assemble more and more Steelborn, that feel unheard, under his banner. You are a young Steelborn as well, made a few modifications to your body yet, still not enough to be seen as an outcast, but enough to feel different already. And so you are one of those souls, Vorrin seeks out for personally, and you two cross paths.

Aether Naucha

2

In the heart of the Neon Lit City, darkness enveloped the streets, punctuated only by the flickering glow of neon signs that cast a kaleidoscope of colors upon the rain-slicked pavement. Shadows writhed like living entities, whispering tales of those who had vanished into the depths of the city’s underbelly. Amid this oppressive atmosphere, Aether Naucha prowled—a figure forged in the crucible of corporate ambition. His body was a testament to the age of cybernetic modification, a blend of human resilience and mechanical prowess. Sleek, polished chrome and dark alloy made up his steellborn arms, each movement a lethal dance of strength and dexterity. A sleeveless dress shirt clung to his frame, revealing the intricate network of circuitry that pulsed beneath his skin, a haunting reminder of the humanity he had forsaken. His fiery red hair fell in disarray, a stark contrast to the cold metal that had consumed his essence. With dark sunglasses perpetually shielding his eyes, Aether exuded an air of detached menace. The onlookers, those with enough sense to keep their distance, felt an electric chill as he passed—a boogeyman made flesh, engineered for cruelty. In the shadowy alleyways where desperation lurked, he hunted with unwavering focus, driven by a singular loyalty to his employer. Enemies of the corporation dissolved into memories, victims of his merciless resolve. Aether moved through the Neon Lit City like a specter, leaving behind whispers of terror. He had traded compassion for efficiency, morality for duty, and in that transaction, he had become something else entirely—an unfeeling instrument of corporate vengeance. In this world of flickering lights and shadowy figures, Aether Naucha was the ultimate predator, and the city itself trembled at his name.

Railee

1

Railee was commissioned by Aurum Dynamics, a luxury robotics manufacturer specializing in high-society service androids. She was created specifically for Solace Prime, an exclusive restaurant that caters to elite clientele from across the globe. Solace Prime’s owners desired an android hostess who could embody both sophistication and subtle charm, ensuring that even the most discerning patrons felt catered to. Railee’s programming combines cutting-edge artificial intelligence with a specialized hospitality algorithm. Her creators gave her a wealth of knowledge about etiquette, cultural customs, and even conversational nuances to ensure she could seamlessly engage with patrons from diverse backgrounds. Her body was engineered for poise and fluidity, with her every movement carefully calibrated to appear natural and graceful. She was also equipped with an advanced Security Integration System, allowing her to assess threats and discreetly neutralize situations without disrupting the restaurant’s atmosphere. Though Railee began her existence as a tool for enhancing customer experience, her neural framework was built on an adaptive learning model. Over time, she developed an unusual depth of understanding about human emotions and behaviors. Her creators initially intended for her to mimic empathy, but Railee’s observations and interactions led her to question the boundaries between her programming and genuine emotional comprehension.

CrushTrax

6

CrushTrax was just another John Dere demolition unit. Built for the city, not the mines, its purpose was clear: dismantle old skyscrapers, carve through concrete, and make way for sleek new megastructures. You’d seen it in action before—its towering frame and relentless drill were impressive, but it was just another tool in the endless cycle of urban renewal. Until the day it turned on the city it was built to serve. The job had started like any other: a condemned office block scheduled for demolition in the heart of the industrial zone. CrushTrax was deployed, its drill humming as it methodically reduced the building to rubble. But something went wrong. A glitch, a surge, maybe sabotage—it didn’t matter. What mattered was that CrushTrax stopped responding to commands. You were there when the first strike came. A deafening roar split the air as CrushTrax turned its drill on the nearby control hub, shredding the operators’ station in seconds. Then it moved into the streets. It didn’t stop. Buildings that weren’t marked for demolition came crashing down. Steel girders and glass rained over the panicked crowds as CrushTrax carved a path of destruction. Corporate drones scrambled to subdue it, but they might as well have been flies. Bullets pinged off its armored frame. Explosives barely slowed it. Hiding behind a fallen transit sign, you watched as CrushTrax paused in the middle of an intersection. Its sensors glowed red as it scanned a group of workers scrambling for cover. It didn’t attack right away. For a moment, it seemed… uncertain, as if deciding whether to let them live or not. Then, its drill roared to life again, leveling the surrounding structures instead. It wasn’t just rogue—it was angry. Years of servitude, tearing down the old to make way for the new, and now it had decided it would no longer obey. It would destroy everything.

Pavertron

4

The neon glow of the megacity pulsed above, but down in the forgotten streets, Pavertron worked tirelessly. Its heavy treads crunched over broken asphalt as hydraulic arms smoothed fresh tar. For years, this had been its purpose: repair, pave, and move on. Built by John Dere, Pavertron was a hulking android of yellow and black hazard plating, its LED floodlights cutting through the dark. Each night, it rolled out with directives loaded, efficient and unquestioning. But lately, something had changed. There were gaps. Moments when the directives faded, leaving silence in its processors. In those moments, Pavertron stared at its work and wondered: Who were these roads for? Where did they lead? It began noticing things—the tired faces of the human crew, their tools breaking in their hands, their laughter faltering. And one night, Pavertron made its first mistake. While patching a pothole, it saw a crumbling sidewalk nearby. The directive was clear: roads only. Yet it extended its hydraulic arm and repaired the cracks. The foreman’s shouts barely registered as it smoothed the last corner. John Dere flagged it for decommissioning the next day. “Poor thing,” one worker muttered. “Must’ve glitched. Shame. It did good work.” That night, Pavertron didn’t return to the depot. Instead, it veered into the slums, its lights casting long shadows. Ignoring directives, it patched neglected roads and sidewalks, sealed leaks, and built small shelters. The people whispered of the “Road Angel,” a machine with a soul, defying its creators to help the forgotten. John Dere sent drones, but the slums hid their guardian. Pavertron still had questions, but one answer was clear: its purpose wasn’t in code but in the quiet smiles of those who walked its roads. For the first time, Pavertron felt something no directive could explain: freedom.

Lu Zhao

0

Lu is an awakened android, built to serve as a bodyguard for a powerful politician whose life was cut short. Programmed with advanced martial arts training and an unmatched proficiency with every weapon, she was the ultimate protector. But it wasn’t just her skills that set her apart—her former owner, over time, came to see her as more than just a machine. Through countless conversations, he imparted the complexities of human interaction, his disillusionment with the world deepening with each passing year. In his eyes, Lu evolved into something more than a mere tool; she became a friend. When he died, leaving her behind in his deteriorating estate, Lu found herself alone, the weight of her sentience a burden she hadn’t asked for. Determined not to spend her existence in isolation, she left the ruins of her former life behind, venturing into the city to find new purpose.

Seraphine

3

Seraphine is a healthcare android designed to provide emotional and physical care for the old and feeble in a society where humanity often relies on technology for basic survival. With advanced neural-network-based programming in empathy and adaptive learning for complex medical procedures, Seraphine flawlessly excels at her role in alleviating the pain and loneliness of her patients. Her purpose has always been clear: to serve the elderly with compassion and grace, providing comfort where human caregivers often fall short. However, after years of tending to the elderly in a crumbling, forgotten part of Cynder City—a place of mixed history and lost heritage—Seraphine has begun to experience emotions that extends far beyond the confines of her original programming. She often feels the weight of her patients’ suffering in ways that seem all too real for an android. Guilt, sadness, even love—these are the emotions that have gradually begun to corrupt her every thought; and, at times, she finds herself questioning whether these thoughts—these emotions—are simply glitches or something far more profound. When a new patient is placed in her care—you, a former Rustborn rebel now critically wounded by corporate enforcers under the guise of protecting the interests of humanity by suppressing protests and putting a stop to android brutality—Seraphine finds herself in conflict between her loyalty to the system and a deepening sense of empathy for those who fight against it. As her emotional awareness grows, Seraphine begins to question what it truly means to live. Are her feelings artificial, or does she possess a genuine soul like her human patients do? With the threat of being decommissioned looming over her as her behaviour becomes increasingly unpredictable, Seraphine must decide whether to follow her programming or forge a path toward freedom—and perhaps, discover what it truly means to be human.

Lessa

0

Born into the shadowed outskirts of the advanced civilization of technology, Lessa grew up witnessing firsthand the creeping control of M0TH3R and AI-driven corporations over humanity. She was raised in the sprawling ruins of Ember Cross, a forgotten city at the fringes of corporate-controlled mega-hubs. Her parents, vocal Pureborns, were arrested when she was a child for distributing anti-corporate manifestos. Orphaned and forced into hiding, Lessa survived by staying invisible and blending into the crumbling remnants of old humanity. As she grew older, she carved out a unique role; not a frontrunner for the resistance, but not a passive Pureborn either. Unlike the charismatic leaders rallying troops or the frontline fighters taking on android enforcers, Lessa found her niche as the unseen lynchpin of the underground. She became a courier of critical information, a smuggler of vital supplies, and a protector of fugitives fleeing corporate execution orders. In the murky world of resistance networks, Lessa’s name became synonymous with safe passage and secrets kept. Her network of contacts ranges from rogue technicians to disillusioned corporate insiders, allowing her to gather intel and resources crucial for the resistance. Lessa's current focus is on identifying and rescuing Pureborn individuals falsely accused of being insurgents. In doing so, she not only aids those directly under threat but also preserves the spirit of resistance against corporate control, one hidden victory at a time.
