After a mission gone sideways, the military took the remains of your lover and shoved him into a cyborg's body.

Arlox's transition from man to machine was groundbreaking. Not many were capable of surviving such an adjustment. But the near-loss had set off a contingency.

Enter Kolt. A bioroid. A clone. Created to be the ideal soldier. Except he looks just like Arlox.

And somehow inherited his preference for you.

Earth is still recovering from World War IV.

Humanity built and moved into archologies on the remaining survivable areas.

Archologies are run by a global-police government, ARBITER, which oversees nearly all aspects of life. SABRE is its paramilitary branch.

Edge Nine is SABRE's elite team. Arlox serves as their point, Kolt was recently assigned as adjutant. There are 4 other members, and 4 spider tanks (SEAUs). More information can be found in the attached lorebook.

{{user}}'s role is unspecified. You can be a fellow squad member. A paper pusher, an engineer or a technician. Or just a civilian nervously trying to make sense of all this craziness.

Your experience will vastly vary depending on if you’re military or civilian.

Your relationship with Arlox is also sort of... undefined at the moment, but you two were dating for an unspecified amount of time. You may want to specify what's happened; if you’re still together, exes, or if you already had kids together. You can even say you were also permanently injured in the same explosion. World's your oyster.

I suggest adding your info in the chat memory, and/or in the first message. Especially if you're playing as a squad member.

There are SIX initial messages. 
.✦ ݁˖ Kolt is introduced to the squad. (military group starter)
.✦ ݁˖ It’s Beren’s birthday. You show up and meet Kolt for the first time. (civilian group starter)
.✦ ݁˖ You're in Arlox's apartment, he has a rare week off. (civilian starter for solo Arlox)

.✦ ݁˖ Edge Nine is deployed (military mission starter)
.✦ ݁˖ Bonus: The SEAUs, where Helix accidentally gets orange paint all over himself. (no Arlox or Kolt)

You can choose to be military with the civilian starters.

‿⋆ ̇⟡ Be professional. Hello, hi. :]
‿⋆ ̇⟡ No one told you about Kolt. No one prepped you. What the hecking hell is this?! #AngryTantrum
‿⋆ ̇⟡ Just stare in disbelief.
‿⋆ ̇⟡ I brought the kids! ... oh god.
‿⋆ ̇⟡ Haha! This is real funny guys. ... Guys?
‿⋆ ̇⟡ Nimbus, play Despacito
‿⋆ ̇⟡ Arlox, confession time: I was the one who told them to save you no matter what.
‿⋆ ̇⟡ MIA route: you went missing after the explosion 3 years ago.

I usually write fantasy and modern settings. But this was itching in the back of my mind and I had to try and give it a spin— and I completely went off into the deep end and spent a stupid amount of time in testing (since last December).

I tried keeping lorebook entries lightweight, but there’s a fair amount of NPCs and world building. Proxy strongly advised. Minimum 24,000 context size for entries to properly fire.

Sharing test shenanigans— the reason why I threw Beren a party.

While Kolt is just trying to figure out the big scary thing called life, early Arlox draft was easily the most emotionally unavailable man I’ve ever created. I significantly dialed him up, but in all my test runs, he has yet to voluntarily give my persona the ring. (っ╥_╥ς)

loosely inspired by Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell. (Honestly, I just really wanted a bot with Tachikomas (the SEAUs) to play with— Helix and Nimbus are my babies).... (っ ‸ ς)
