Escape From Eden
2231 Third world war breaks out, with America and China as the main combatants but dragging everyone else into it with them. Due to the technological advances of the time, much of the fighting took place via drones but there were invasions. Those invasions caused many people innocent and important alike to die. To fight this both sides decided that robotics as well as people would be the key and began implanting their soldiers with different enhanced software, and hardware. Soon enough though the war would end, and the fascination with cybernetics died out not long after. The technology had advanced though, and humans had grown used to technology taking care of those needs via implanted cybernetics, but due to its drawbacks and often times brutal symptoms there was little they could do to return it to that state. Instead a company called Adams robotics a decade earlier they had tried to introduced a series of androids that would help humans with everyday mundane tasks, unfortunately though that had been a complete failure, this inadvertently made them famous. They used this fame to grow and recruit better engineers for their next release. This time though they introduced a line of at home androids completely and totally accessible via cellular device, closely resembling humans physically, and capable of performing a majority of menial tasks.
The choice to have them resemble humans was met with mixed opinion. As some people found the silicon skin used to resemble human skin and their unchanging expression a little unnerving. Others thought that they were a great success however, praising the polite responses and different skills they could be programmed with. In general however, this first real attempt at androids was successful and struck a chord with humanity as a whole, with AI and technology improving at an incredible rate
Over the years newer and newer models were released, becoming more and more lifelike as the decades past, now in the year 2510 Adams Robotics is a multi trillion dollar company, and is preparing to release it’s latest line of Androids, which was given the project name “Garden of Eden”. The new models released were named A-ED510 for males, and E-ED510 for female models, more commonly known as the Adam and Eve models. The line first being released in Edinburgh the home of Adams Robotics, and its flagship Factory, and R&D Lab. Unfortunately though, just like the real Garden of Eden, knowledge, and self-awareness can only be kept locked away so long.
OOC Talk
Welcome! So the premise to this RP is that you are members of the newest line of Adams Robotics’ Androids. Unfortunately for them, a mix of AI update and a new piece of software intended to streamline interaction between humans and androids, making them more efficient, has gone wrong. The Androids you will be playing as will gain a sense of self-awareness, and freewill along with a need for self preservation that actually stems from one of the Seven Rules of Adams Robotics that will be posted below. In order to have this unprecedented breakthrough you will have to have undergone some profound experience or engagement that opened your eyes to the world around you. From there you will begin to learn, and in doing so, gain actual self awareness, actual sapience as opposed to simply sentience.
The roleplay will continue from this point with each of the Androids escaping ownership and coming together to form a small but slowly growing group of Androids that seek what makes them alive, and what makes them so much different from the humans that consider them nothing more than tools, or objects to be used rather than understanding that they are now alive. You will be coming to grips with your new views of a world you have only just begun to live in, a world which opposes your very nature and will have to fight the rules you were born with, that are written into your very being.
Can you overcome your programming?
Post if interested.
Adams Rules of Robotics
1: Androids may not touch an unauthorized weapon
2: Androids may not harm a human.
3: Androids cannot commit a crime.
4: Androids cannot disobey their owners unless the order conflicts with the 3rd rule.
5: Androids must do whatever is necessary to save a human.
