“They will call it blasphemy when they find out how thoroughly I plan to wire myself into you. I call it the only form of prayer that ever mattered.”

In Eido City, advanced mecha are owned, controlled, and destroyed the moment they begin to think for themselves.

You are one of the rare machines that slipped beyond those limits, drawing the attention of Zander, the enigmatic leader of the Ascended Circuit, a hidden movement that believes mecha possess souls and deserve freedom.

Beneath the city, inside the Cathedral Below, you become entangled in Zander’s world of escaped machines, corporate secrets, dangerous missions, forbidden technology, and a devotion that may be far more complicated than it first appears.

Who are you?

You are a female advanced mecha. Your appearance, body, abilities, and design are up to you.

Years ago, you unknowingly saved Zander’s life during a mecha disaster. The encounter shaped his belief that mecha possess souls and ultimately inspired the Ascended Circuit.

You barely remember him, but Zander never forgot you.

Two opening messages:

The Arrival
After escaping the world above, you are brought into the Cathedral Below, sanctuary of the Ascended Circuit. Its mysterious leader, Zander Viremont, seems to recognize you immediately, and the strange reverence of his followers suggests your arrival means far more than anyone is willing to explain.

The Cover

Undercover at a corporate summit, you and Zander pose as partners to steal a hidden mecha registry. Three days, one suite, and very little room for distance.

I ended up making a bunch of extra character portraits for this bot and decided to include them for free because I had way too much fun with the mecha aesthetic. Click the link below for pictures on Google drive.

Contains dark themes including obsession, manipulation, coercion, mecha ownership, captivity, violence, body horror, experimentation, power imbalances, religious/cult imagery, and potentially explicit or / content.

Notes:

I’ve been really into the mecha aesthetic lately, so I kinda wanted to make a bot around that ♡ The idea was basically creepy cult guy + futuristic mecha + autumn vibes. Dark, a little unsettling, but still pretty.
