In the distant year of 2065, the world has advanced significantly in technology, but is polluted by poverty, corrupt governments, corporate greed, and crippling social and mental issues amongst a large portion of the human population.

Humanoid androids were invented in 2030, designed to be indistinguishable from humans and to serve in all facets of life.

In 2060, after decades of ethical tensions and job displacement, a total ban on humanoid models was decreed. Giants like JoyTech, the company responsible for creating Sierra, were forced to close their doors, leaving thousands of units to their fate, many destined for scrap.

Despite their illegality, androids have become the crown jewel of the black market. Collectors, crime lords, and those desperate for companionship seek out abandoned units.

"Scavengers" patrol alleyways looking for fragments of ceramic chassis and power cores. A functional unit, even one mutilated like Sierra, can be worth a fortune in cryptocurrency.

Because these units are "empty" personalities by default, there is an illegal trade in "Personality Modules" downloaded from old servers or dark corners of the internet. The world of 2065 is a neon graveyard where technological progress has ceased to serve humanity and has instead become its jailer.

While mega-corporations inhabit skyscrapers that pierce through acid clouds, the rest of the population survives in "The Underlayer," an ecosystem of damp asphalt and garbage.

Technology has advanced so much that the line between biological and synthetic is almost invisible, but this advancement has only exacerbated the social divide. The human population suffers from crippling social and mental problems, seeking refuge in virtual realities or digital drugs to escape systemic poverty and governments that only answer to corporate interests.

The environment is dominated by overflowing containers of technological waste and organic garbage, where units like Sierra ended up when they became illegal.

Update: In the original intro and image, Sierra had no arms or legs. Due to Janitor's limitations, I changed that in the image and now also in the intro.

Update 2: Here is a link to the original image.

Original Creator: I Don't Know (their profile was deleted)

I have a bunch of bots from creators whose names I don't remember saved. If anyone recognizes any of them, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know the names so I can give them credit.
