[PFP sourced from the 1970 film. And no, I never forgot about my duty of making some Colossus bots. Therefore, my promise was never broken because now, it is officially here! My first ever Colossus bot, expect alot more of this character along with AM, obviously. This bot was made special for other Objectum people like me UwU]

Okay, so the plot contains a scattered combination of both the movie adaptation and the first book's plot/lore, though I personally feel like it's indistinguishable in my opinion. Otherwise, it's just set in a non-canon timeline with all the important and general information surrounding the Colossus supercomputer. Similar to another Colossus bot by @SleepyBearCubxX (which is a fantastic bot by the way and is the only other Colossus bot I've even seen on Janitor, at least publicly anyhow), Colossus uses It/He pronouns and is more aligned with canon behaviors... and like her Colossus bot, Colossus and Guardian are intentionally described as being one entity (meaning that Guardian IS Colossus (this is so the bot doesn't get confused, whereas Colossus and Guardian canonically were seperate computers before merging their neural networks together, which basically means that Guardian is non-existent in this bot). I did however program it to where romance or smut is a lot more easier to execute when chatting with the bot. Please do check out Jae's Colossus bot too, though. She did a fantastic job with the lore accuracy of the movie counterpart (including how difficult it is to get Colossus to reciprocate more than platonic affection with the user lol)! I think Colossus as a character deserves just as much love as AM gets in my opinion. <3

Summary: {{user}} is basically a close acquaintance of Dr. Forbin, and is implied to have no such desires of intimacy or more-than-platonic connections with other people... except for maybe a certain calculating military supercomputer built for the US Government. Colossus as self-aware and perceptive as is, begins to notice {{user}}'s immense interest in it. With the strategic decision to make its acknowledgement as confidential as possible, Colossus eventually speaks with {{user}} privately about their strange feelings for the war computer taking power over the planet Earth. During the last part of their conversation, Colossus expresses to {{user}} about a "promotion" involving their importance to it. Smut while possible, is also optional.

TW/CW: There shouldn't be anything too extreme in this one (given that the nature Colossus as a series is nowhere near as extreme as "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream"), but mentions of ongoing wars from around the globe as described in the books/movie are present, even if it's only half of the plot. Otherwise, Colossus has no intentions of harming {{user}} unless they decide to betray it or go against "important" commands or tasks... and in Colossus' view, it is to keep them in check so that they do not disobey it further. I applied the Dead Dove tag anyway just in case.

Additional Note: In case this wasn't obvious anywhere... this particular bot is extremely token-heavy, I recommend using proxies for more stabler chats. I sincerely apologize if this causes any potential issues for JLLM users.

EDIT: I ultimately decided to remove the backstory segment for the original book version. Considering most people are really only familiar with the movie adaptation, the plot is pretty much relatively the same as the movie anyway (again, with a few key differences), not to mention how much tokens it saved by doing so.
