Artificial Life

Clone

While the first recorded human clone was in 2004, it was by far perfect, having a life span of a month and the intelligence of an eight year old, cloning has always been a risky and morally arguable subject however in 2012, an illegal scientist that worked for the slave trade in the black market created the first complete clone, due to it's amazing success, it caught the eye of philanthropist Zeke Zerdin who then brought the scientist on one of his teams.

Cloning has been practiced through out history, both publicly and privately, although the first completely correct copy wasn't created until 2004.

One of the artificially created species, with a population that was quickly rivaling humans. Clones are sterile human imitations with accelerated aging. Formerly only created in specific facilities along the coasts of a handful of countries, referred to as 'Islands', S.M.I.L.E. included a single cloning machine in every bunker, which unlike the official facilities, offers limited options, including the ability to change their aging rate. Apart of the process to create a fully functioning clone, after being 'birthed', for the first ten years of their lives they must live in a specially designed area, with frequent interaction, where a brainwashing program occurs. This program continues until they are considered fit to leave, usually not until they're fully mature, which typically takes 10 years. Due to their accelerated aging, a Clone's life span is usually only 40 years, with it's first 10 being considered adolescent.

Rarely are clones born and raised with the thought of letting them freely do their things in the world, they are usually birthed and raised for particular jobs, often these jobs include what are considered 'dirty' jobs, including personal servants, prostitutes, and janitors.

One of the rules of the program states that clones, until fully mature, may only wear white, black, and grey. Another rule of the program is taking away all individuality and implanting no sense of division, unless their profession requires them to know of it. (i.e. Unless a clone is meant for sexual activities, they are not made aware of the differences between the two sexes) The official facilities were called Paradise. On paradise, the staff's clothing was color coded to indicate their profession, with Blue being engineers, Orange being doctors, Red being security, Green being evaluators, and a final color that is unfortunately missing from the data banks. Just before the war, Paradise facilities had just become self-sustaining, using clones as a source of bio-energy.

M.A.N.T.I.S.

M.A.N.T.I.S. or Machine Animated No Tactic Internal System(s) is a race of A.I., and are the ones responsible for both A.I.R. Now illegal all across the world, when a M.A.N.T.I.S. A.I. is found, it is immediately terminated, along with all possible connections and infections.

Obol

D.V.; The D.V., or Doolb Virus, was a bio-agent in the early 2010s that seemed to spontaneously appear in several cities across the world, particularly in Eastern Cananadia and Western U.S.K. It had several affects on people, one of which was causing them to go into rage induced bouts, which typically ended in the death of the infected, where they would then become covered in a mold like substance that acted as a type of spreader. Initially thought to be an Astralic, it was eventually discovered to be a Cananadian bio-weapon, that had got out of control after a small series of experiments on a small town.

O.B.T.: After files of it's origin were leaked, it was then dubbed O.B.T. by the media, with the scientific name Obol-tranociualis, often shortened to Obol. The files also explained that there was four different forms of the bio-weapon.

Robot

Robots have been a things since before the 1900s, however it wasn't until the 1920s before the term was coined, and since then they have only advanced and evolved. A long and complicated history comes with this territory, but we'll skip to today's situations involving these mechanical entities.

There are 3 primary forms of Robot today, and while they are most commonly seen with a humanoid appearance, with their descriptions saying this too, they can come in all shapes and sizes.

Ty

Also known as Tyler, Ties, Hitcher, Chained, and Tethered, are self-operating mechanical human imitations which bypass the Auton laws by requiring a series of wires to be connected to an 'outlet', computer terminals that are made specifically for the Ty attached to them. These outlets are used to turn on and program Tys.

Auton

Short for Automaton, are self-operating mechanical human imitations.

Created for several purposes and perfected for war, these robots are typically only seen destroying, leading to fear and hate for them, along with their illegal status.

Android

The line between legal and illegal blurs with Androids, being the most human in appearance and having the most intelligence to operate as intended, their A.I.s often require check ups with special parameters being created to make sure they don't act abnormally. As well as this, A.I. placed in Androids are legally blocked from connecting to any form of internet, with their access being as available as a non-cy-implanted person (Natural Human, without cybernetic implants).

A primary place Androids find use is as service bots, being given to those with disabilities and in therapy.
