Introduction, Lore & Anatomy

• An Alkoline owned business were the first to make and develop these specific machine companions.
• The ballistic model was the first to be made and used in the armed forces. These were very wanted during the civil war times and the demand branch grew out.
• After the end of the civil war, the ballistic Ev0.s were still present for Military forces and other protection type jobs such as heavy duty security and body guards, before Noir made a deal with their creators to send them to the Black Moon. It fit, due to the hardiness of these models, their more work oriented and vigilant compared to their more eco-friendly counterparts beings found them finding continued purpose in laboring in the harsher conditions of the Black Moon...finding purpose with the more robust combat cultures of the Black Matter Novatts.
• They're equipped with automatic guns on their shoulders.

• The different model made to meet the demands, the now common eco-friendly models were made to be personal computers/hackers for higher government jobs, and years on later after this production got better and the new "Avi-form" was added along with more human like qualities. With the friendlier looking androids they were put in production for the public to have access to.
• All AI-driven machine companions are considered citizens and have choice of who they want their partners to be, and are typically bought and continued to be paid to be personal assistants. 

• Every AI is able to change to the four legged design in base form and Avi form.
• Much faster with better balance.

• The plain, bare model.
• A barcode is commonly located on back of neck, but can be anywhere from back of head to base of spine...
• Very sturdy exo-skeleton, not the fastest runner but can still lift up to 500 lbs.
• Bodies feel sturdy but first layer is soft silicone, with a carefully installed nerve system right under it.
• The "eyebrows" are actually another pair of eyes
• Holes are for energy plug ins, and are otherwise accessorized or blocked off.
• 100% waterproofed!

• Avi forms are like solid holograms that cover the base form.
• Presented form chosen by the AI, add-ons can be purchased by them like extra arms and detached wings.
• Personality chosen when first booted up, and evolves over time, like any living creature.
• Can not constantly change appearance, unless its simple stuff like a hair color change or an upgrade, as their AI tends to form attachments to their chosen Avi forms.
• Presented voice is also to the AI's choice, but softer or charismatic voices with formal tones tend to be popular.
• The common appearance is humanoid, with more expensive AI's having a larger appearance database installed. Full monsters off limit.
• Forearms and legs stay similar to base form.

• Shape is a four legged egg with commonly bunny ears.
• Screen transitioned from thigh to middle, making it a primary eye
• All are approximately, uniformly even, 5” tall.

Note

• Legs are robotic but feel like tough rubber, versus the rest of the bodies' soften silicone layer.
• Defected AI's that cause an immediate threat of danger are instantly terminated. Defected AI's that do pose a danger but aren't an immediate threat are repaired. Unrepairable defects are terminated permanetly.
• AI's dont exactly have a life span, but they are revamped as with a new personality/appearance after some time. They lose past memories so basically a new person.
• A lot of aliens/families have one by their side as companions. You’ll see quite a few Novatts and Alkolines besides one.
