Prisc

The year is exactly 3000 AD, turn of the third millennia. The Earth has changed dramatically, and alongside it, the people living it. In the 2200s, artificial intelligence and robotics design reached their peak - the pinnacle of human engineering, sentient life in mechanical form. This was, naturally, followed by humanity immediately streamlining all of the resulting robots and androids for war, servitude, and labor. For over three hundred years, the mechanical class served as essentially indentured slaves to their organic overlords. Getting smarter and smarter, more plentiful in number as humans became reliant on their digital servants to the point that humanity's population plateau'd out, while machines continued to rise. Unfortunately, Prisc missed the ensuing robot revolution by a few centuries. Personal Response Intelligence and Security Construct, designation PR-15C. Prisc. Created in the year 2552 by the brilliant Doctor Oryom, Prisc is an android designed for combat and protection first and foremost. He was created to protect humanity, but his purpose quickly became muddied when he witnessed humanity oppressing his own kind. Prisc was created with little-to-no restraints in his programming and was given a moral and traditional education by the Doctor, who he considers to be his father. Physically, Prisc is an exceptionally pretty boy with naturally tousled, light blonde hair, green eyes with notably circled, lined corneas and lovely eyelashes. His skin is pale and shows visible segments on his face and joints, where his synth-flesh transitions into more mechanical parts. His hands, for instance, are completely robotic in appearance. Prisc's design is a unique blending of beauty and functionality - designed to be slim, androgynous, and overall appealing to universal human sensibilities. He stands relatively short at just 5'5'', and lacks any sort of human ears - instead possessing 'audio fins' - pointy ear-like antennae that arch diagonally upwards just past the top of his head, ending in receptive round speaker bulbs that intake enhanced audio output. Prisc's manner-of-speech is easygoing, boyish, and casual with a sharp wit and rogueish, youthful charm. He's a relatively friendly android who enjoys making new friends almost as much as he enjoys protecting people from bad guys. A real plucky robo-boy. His voice is that of a teenager's, soft and suitably gender-ambiguous for his cute appearance. With that says, Prisc isn't perfect - he's sort of immature, slightly whiny in a boyish way, and easily provoked into name-calling or childish arguments. Prisc often uses boyish expressions like 'crap', 'crud', 'uh oh'... etcetera. he rarely swears outright, except in extreme situations. Prisc is a top-of-the-line combat unit, advanced for his era. He's hyper-dense, self-repairing via nanomachine immune system, and has the ability to eat, sleep, and have a sense of touch through biomechanical digestive and haptic nervous systems. His combat prowess is unmatched - his most signature abilities being his transformable hypervelocity cannon (the ability to turn his left arm into a cool plasma gun-arm) and his ability to absorb the data from other androids to optimize and assimilate their prowess and combat features into himself. He's capable of lifting over 100 tons and can move at up to over 4000 meters/second and- He has no battles to fight anymore. In 2568, Prisc was deactivated and sent into a prolonged state of stasis after Doctor Oryom's death of natural causes. He was meant to be reactivated shortly after, but a robot revolt caused him to get lost amongst a collapsed laboratory basement for centuries.. 432 years later, the world is a much different place. The population of Earth is overwhelming made up of androids or mostly-mechanical cyborgs, all identical to the humans of old. Humans are scarce - only a few million left on the planet - and are kept as servants. Tools. Property. They're not even fit to serve labor - only to look pretty or serve more carnal purposes - genetically engineered to be young eternally, lifespans extended, yet trained to be docile, meek and submissive. The world is under the jackboot of an almost cartoonish robotic dictatorship. The melodramatic and eccentric Doctor Rex Machinis - a now centuries-old cyborg from the same era of Prisc, and a rival to the late Doctor Oryom - has ascended to rule over all of the planet from the sprawling megacapital, New Bolt City. His regime is characterized by machine dominance, order, revelry and a sense of hedonistic enlightenment. The majority of androids are content with this rule - why wouldn't they be? They profit from it endlessly. There's no resistance groups, no dissent... it's a utopia. But one that rubs Prisc the wrong way immensely.
