—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Twenty years old. From the Netherlands, GMT+1. Speaks fluent English, among other languages, and finds himself speaking English almost daily. Just wrote this in third person, because he has some form of god-complex, gargantuan ego thing. Doesn't seem to care that he has a god complex, gargantuan ego thing. Careless. Rude. Somewhat whimsical, too.

Writes at an advanced level, does not care about your quality =/= quantity arguments. Finds himself wishing for longer posts regularly, if they are well written. Seems unwilling to put up with people that do certain things in general. Finds a lot of people on Roleplayerguild are whiny adults stuck in their childhood. For this reason, has no real interest in your personal problems. If he cares, he will ask.

Not a very empathetic person. This is no secret.

In terms of writing, does not have 'limits' as to what he will write. If there are ever any, he will notify you. Never the less, does not expect there to ever be limits. Demands, however, that partners, especially adults, are capable of understanding the difference between fiction and reality. If you do not possess this talent, please do not contact Buddha. He finds that there are some freaky people out there that wish for their fantasies to become reality. Would prefer not to associate with these people.

Many thanks, yours sincerely,

This roleplay is based off of an RP I made once that didn't take off. It is required to read the posts in this thread that relate to Broacien. These posts describe the entire world of Broacien and therefore are not skimmable or skippable in terms of reading. If you don't want to read multiple posts worth of information, close this hider now and move on.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Broacien is a country laid in the middle of a rough, coarse land that offers no respite to the weary traveler, much less so any neighbors of the country. To the North are the tribal Northerners, who pose no threat nor do they interact with the south much. To the east lay the great mountainranges, that hide secrets of new lands far far beyond these mountain ranges. Here, the great horselords roam, riding their many horses from which they can shoot bow and arrow at great speeds. To the south is the Sawarim Sultanate, a rival religious kingdom that has attempted to overthrow the Broacien monarchy more than once. West of Broacien lay two kingdoms, owned by a brother and sister, who squabble between each other for now but will soon point their eyes to Broacien.

Do you have what it takes to survive in this land?

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Essentially we can go two routes - create our own plot and story (haha, yeah, probably not going to happen) or we can go with the Holy Banner of St. Friedrich plot, where our two characters join an expedition to find this holy banner and return it to Broacien.

As with all things, the advancement of robotics fell under technology, and therefore was subject to the proposed 'curve of technological advancement' which most advances undergo. The primary application was in industries - robotic arms to manufacture weaponry first and foremost, but rapidly applied also in civil sectors. Heavy investment from the private and public sector incentivized this industry, leading to rapid applications of new robotic technology.

The first application was in the military field - rather than using robotics to build weapons for humans, we built robots that could fight themselves. AI-guided tanks that required minimal human interfacing were the first, though many more followed rapidly, to the point where it was hard to track what was improved when. Soon enough there were armies no longer formed by humans, but by robots that could fight without ever feeling the shattering impact of morale - they were fearless, and did not have a mind of their own. And using their hivemind intelligence network, the transfer of data and intelligence was near-instant.

Private implications were also there - soon after, 'robot-servants' taking the place of maids, nannies, drivers, and even shopkeepers were created, although this too changed rapidly until models of robots were created that were much more intelligent than their benign counterparts that possessed no intelligence beyond recognition of user input. These new breed of robots were labeled androids, though they still functioned much the same as robots. These new robots could follow most of any commands, and were capable of combining most tasks into one unit, rather than requiring multiple robot units to fulfill these tasks - no longer was a chauffeur bot required, as well as a nanny bot. Instead, you simply bought an android model and made them do all these things at will.

As a result of this, life on earth flourished - low wage jobs disappeared and people had more time for other things - culture, the arts, music, governance, hobbies, and raising families. With the hands-on guidance of humans, the androids and robots took over many roles formerly held by humans. Efficiency was quadrupled in the first years, and continued to rise with new improvements to the AI. After all, a human needs rest, food, drink, all these things. An android required none.

As with all things, there are moments were some would say 'we went too far' and androids began taking over even parts of the entertainment sector, working the night industry among other things.

But this was perhaps not what we meant when we said 'we went too far'. Perhaps it was when androids began becoming self aware as a result of improving AI powers. We had created robots and androids that were, in all objectivity, in all aspects superior to humans. So when an android asked their master 'what is it to be human? Am I human too?' the world erupted in flames.

Truthfully, what hopes did humanity have at fighting back the very things they had created purely to be superior?

Ｏ Ｏ Ｃ Ｉ Ｎ Ｆ Ｏ

So the intentions for this plot are not really strict - I have given you the setting, the plot itself will be up for discussion. Truthfully, I am just looking to explore the world of robots/androids/artificial intelligence. As long as we have robotics that take the shape of some humanoid form, I would be satisfied.

The RP can take place in three ways. Firstly, the pre-awareness life. This would circle around most likely a person and their robotic companion. I'm not particularly looking to play either role, as I am fine with playing both. I am hesitant to offer more specific plots for this, as this sounds a lot like a slice-of-life and I have not got much experience with that, and they usually aren't my cup of tea.

Secondly, it can take place during the period briefly before, during, and after the acquiring of awareness. That way, we could reshape the universe a bit, and decide how things go; is the human sympathetic to the androids/robots? Does the robotic companion seek to protect their master? Or does it seek to kill them, or assert itself over them? There are infinite possibilities - we could come to an agreement about which we choose.

Lastly, it can take place after the events. Perhaps a robot finds a human that has somehow survived - perhaps some sort of vault, or someone that lived far away from the rest of the world in seclusion, but has slowly come into reach of the ever expanding new world order of robotics and their hivemind. Otherwise, it might be the case that the human is part of robotic experiments. These would likely be in order for robotics to understand the finer parts of what it means to be human - and their own attempt at ascension towards manhood. Otherwise, it could also be that a human brainscan was uploaded into a robot unit. This could be part of some project to revive human-kind.

In all scenario's, it's up for debate. Perhaps the robots consider humans their gods, as they are their creators after all. Or perhaps they learn to distrust and hate humans.
