AE OCs
'Artificial Existence'(AE) universe is a collection of various personification OCs (armament-turn-humanoid-android style) based on actual armaments currently used in Russian armed forces. The main genre is comedy, occasionally drama and semi-historical. Some political events in the past(prior 2006) will be mentioned in passing without going into details. For more information or if you have a question, please take a look at FAQs here.
The reason I draw all my warship OCs as men is, it's a norm in Russia that ships involved in military are always perceived as being male gender and most ships are categorized as 'korabl' (корабль) which is a male gender noun.
WARNING:: These OCs have nothing to do with ongoing real world politics and current events
::SETTING::
Present day Russia, based on real world history up until the end of 2005 which from 2006 onward, some events that occurred in the real world don't necessarily also happen in this universe. Therefore, events that happened in the real world since 2006 but do not exist in this universe are as following:
- --- Russo-Georgian War in 2008
- --- Russia-Ukraine conflict concerning Crimea (in this universe, Crimea still belongs to Ukraine)
- --- Syrian War and ISIS-related conflicts
Unlike the warship personifications, majority of air force/aviation personifications are one character per type/class of airplane or helicopter. The only exceptions are the aerobatic teams Russkiye Vityazi (six Su-27s) and Strizhi (six Mig-29s)
For warship androids belong to navy of other nations aside from Russia. These are mostly support/minor characters that don't have a main plot on their own.
Humanoid androids of various military hardware that mainly operate on land. Battle tanks, mobile missiles (Topol-M, RS-24 Yars), self-propelled artillery...stuffs like that.
Various humans who come into contact with the androids in several different roles...
For miscellaneous personifications that exist in the AE universe but do not exclusively belong to military service.
