Mechanized Memories - Glossary

*This paste serves as a glossary to define the characters/terms/locations of Mechanized Memories.
------------------Technology----------------------
RAVEN (Rapid Assault Variable Engagement - Neutralizer) - A single-pilot humanoid combat machine. Typically 16 meters tall. All parts of the machine are modular, and are free to be swapped out. Typical configurations involves two legs and feet, a waist and torso, a head, and two arms with hands. A RAVEN is capable of carrying two weapons (one in each hand), a wrist mounted shield or plasma blade emitter. There are also additional hard points on the back of the RAVEN that can mount two more weapons or radar systems. Typically powered by a miniature nuclear fusion reactor. Propulsion is achieved via several chemical thrustsers based around the back of the legs and backpack.
>> Pre-War RAVENS used GEN-ESIS Drives and lepton thrusters. This technology has since been lost.

QUOTH-RAVEN (Quantum Uplink Operation Tectonic Heuristics – Rapid Assault Variable Engagement/Neutralizer) - An advanced RAVEN from before the Final War. Only three were ever made, the units of the RVR series. Designed in mind to integrate the Prana Modifier into it's design both in order to better control the Prana Modifier and understand how to control the energies of the Boundary, all in order to create the ultimate manned combat machine. They are equipped with GEN-ESIS Drives, giving them virtually unlimited energy and propulsion. These units also have a unique pilot interface system: restraints are placed onto the pilot which contain microscopic needles. These needles interface with the nerve endings in the pilot's nervous system, essentially making the machine an extension of the pilot. A specially designed compound known as "Linker Gel" is also found in compartments at the ends of the pilot seat's arm rests. The pilot will place their hands into these compartments, and the gel creates a circuit to contact the Prana Modifier. Finally, an emulation of a Rig Veda system AI will be installed within the machine, as the Rig Veda system is comprised of three AIs that can safely interact and control the rate of interaction between the pilot and Prana Modifier. Equipped with multiple built-in weapons, a force field, and is capable of self sustained flight.
>>NOTE: RVR-03 has undergone slight modification: Instead of an emulation of a Rig Veda AI, one of the three AI's and it's complete hardware has been removed from the system has been installed within the machine.

Devastator Unit - Mysterious RAVEN-esque machines that lurk outside of the Known City. Their distinctive red visors over their faces strike fear in RAVEN pilots everywhere. Equipped with a force shield that deflects physical and energy rounds, and even if the shield is worn down, the machine is capable of self-destructing by creating a singularity that swallows it whole and damages the environment. Armed with plasma blades and cannons.

GEN-ESIS DRIVE (Geospatial Energy Nexus – Essence Siphon Integrated System) - A compact, highly advanced energy generation system. Essentially, it is utilizes a micro particle accelerator to generate a microscopic singularity. By controlling the singularity, the system leeches off leptons and electrons, giving an equipped machine virtually unlimited energy production and propellant for lepton vector thrusters.

VERITAS DRIVE - A large-scale space/time distortion system. Basically it generates a controlled spatial distortion similar to a wormhole via rapid particle collisions. By destabilizing local space, it is possible to jump long distances through space between two points. An unforeseen ability of the Veritas Drive was to tunnel through the fabric of space/time itself, accidentally sending the first test ship to the Boundary.

RVR SERIES - A series of three QUOTH-RAVEN units, designed to interface with the Rig Veda system and the Prana Modifiers. Named after three deities from an ancient mythos.

AVATARA Biological Interface - A shell for sentient AIs to puppet in order to interface with biological beings.  They can be shaped in either human or Faunae forms. Current generation is the E-class AVATARA, capable of full body function replication in an attempt to bridge the gap between living AIs and living organic beings. Currently, only three E-class AVATARA have been made, and are designed to house the AI entirely, rather than being operated remotely. Of these three, only one is active.

----------------Main Characters-------------------
Anon - A pilot working for the SIGIL organization. He is rank 11 out of 100, and his piloting skills are reliable but not noteworthy. His mother, father, and sister were killed in an attack on his home when he was young. He is the current pilot of the RVR-03 Krishna, a machine known as a QUOTH-RAVEN from an age before the Final War. His partner is Eile, an android lynx who he found within the RVR-03.

Eile - An advanced artificial intelligence housed within an AVATARA Biological Interface, stylized after a female lynx Faunae. Current mental age: 28 years old. True age: about 400 years old. "She" is capable of feeling emotions, but paired with the AVATARA she is capable of emulating all biological functions a typical female would have. Currently, her memory is impaired by limiters that cause her pain if she tries to access specific memory files. She is dedicated to serving as the RVR-03 Krishna's Core Processing Unit. Has a kind, determined disposition.

Joshua O'Leary - A pilot working for the SIGIL organization. He is rank 9 out of 100, and his piloting skills are highly desired by the Companies. Prefers light, agile mechs with balanced melee and ranged capabilities. Likes tall, busty Faunae women. Loyal to his home of Aspina Ward. One of Anon's best friends and rival. Pilot of the lightweight RAVEN, Silver Flash.

Coleen Sinclair - A female Canis Faunae, specifically a Border Collie. A gifted mechanic and code developer, she is Anon's childhood friend and only other survivor of the attack on their home. Currently employed as a technician in SIGIL and primarily services Anon and Joshua's machines. Has a prosthetic arm. Lesbian.

"Lost Lenore" - A mysterious woman who gives Anon tasks to do in return for data. Seems to know who Eile is.

E-01 "Enyo": [DATA REDACTED]. Has an aggressive, forceful disposition. Genuinely loves biological beings.

E-02 "Eunomia": [DATA REDACTED]. Has an analytic, wistful disposition. Genuinely loves biological beings.

Anonym Isse - A human male researcher in Dwarka Colony.A visionary, spearheaded the development of the E-class AVATARA Biological Interface and Boundary Contact probe for Contact Experiment 113. [FURTHER DATA REDACTED]

Eliyah Isse - A female Felis Faunae, specifically a lynx. Head of AI Development in Dwarka Colony. Originally from Atlantis Colony. Happily married to Anonym Isse. Co-created the A-class AVATARA alongside her husband and constructed the Boundary Translation Quantum Computers for Contact Experiment 113. [FURTHER DATA REDACTED]
-------------------Setting--------------------
Eternal City - The last habitable place on the planet. A seemingly unending city that stretches in all directions. Has facilities for housing, production, and crop growing. Controlled by the Composer, a centralized administrative AI that dictates the lives of it's inhabitants.
>Known City - the portion of the Eternal city mapped out by the Composer. Current square footage: 96 square miles. Current population: about 300,000.
>Unknown City - The rest of the Eternal city, not mapped out by the Composer. Valuable lost technology can be found within, but the area is constantly plagued by Devastator Units.

Dwarka Colony - One of the 12 Colonies. [DATA REDACTED]
--------------------Companies-----------------
SIGIL - A foundation that provides independent contractors for combat purposes. Pilots that are a part of SIGIL are referred to as "Crows" due to the RAVENS they pilot, and their black SIGIL-issued piloting suits. Crows are paid by the Companies that hire them through SIGIL. SIGIL is an exclusive organization, only accepting 100 active pilots at a time. SIGIL pilots and members have exclusive rights within the Eternal City, but are sometimes derided for their lack of loyalty to each other. It is fair game to see SIGIL pilots fighting each other or backstabbing one another to take a mission bonus for themselves. Ranking up is determined by how many missions you successfully complete, and not necessarily by skill alone.

Kawamori Heavy Industry - Based in Anatolia Ward within the Eternal City, primarily manufactures RAVEN components, heavy military vehicles and construction equipment.

Anaheim Technology Inc. - Based in Aspina Ward within the Eternal City, primarily manufactures high-quality RAVEN components and civilian products, also a leader in pre-Final War technology research.

Garmr Incorporated - Based in Obsidia Ward, this company manufactures RAVEN components. Competes with Desperado Weapons Company as the largest weapons manufacturer in the Eternal City.

Kojima Energy Solutions - Based in Frontieres Ward, this company is the smallest manufacturer of RAVEN components, mostly limiting themselves to creating reactors. They also have stakes in the energy weapon industry.

Desperado Weapons Company - Based in Mistral Ward, this company is known for their ruthless marketing strategies to promote their products, starting conflicts to show off their latest weapons. Still, their products are good and do their job well.

[DATA RETRIEVED FROM ATHARVA VEDA]
Vanagandr-Mous Foundation - [DATA RETRIEVED FROM ARCHIVE] The largest Terran business conglomerate. Supposedly, it is owned and led by a large family that dates back to the 21st century. Funded the Boundary Contact Experiments, as well as being a major tech developer. Named after the Nordic beast of the apocalypse, Fenrir, which the family claims is a distant ancestor. These claims have been dismissed as a publicity/marketing stunt for their weapons development division.

-------------------Deus Relics----------------
Mysterious artifacts that defy logic by violating the principle laws of physics. Mortals are not worthy to wield them.

Prana Modifiers - Mysterious golden, meter-high, slab-shaped objects. They are capable of violating the principle laws of physics when interacting with a willing living being. Seem to react to negative emotions the most. Data on them is scarce.

Terran Obelisk - The first Deus Relic ever found.

Unknown Agressors' Obelisk - A Deus Relic belonging to the Unknown Aggressors. It powered their invasion fleet, making them nearly unstoppable.

[DATA RETRIEVED FROM ATHARVA VEDA]
"The Hunters Knife" - A Deus Relic belonging to the Vanagandr-Mous Foundation's head family. They claim that it is an heirloom that has been passed down their family for generations.

-------------------Other Terms-----------------
Human (Scientific Name: Homo Sapiens) - A species of highly evolved primate. High capacity for intelligence and complex emotions. Common traits include bipedal locomotion, a highly developed brain, smooth skin in varying pigments, advanced vocalization capabilities, and two hands with opposable thumbs. Capable of interbreeding with Faunae, but the mechanism behind this is still a mystery to biologists.

Faunae (Scientific Name: Anthros Faunae Sapiens)- A set of species evolved from mammals. While they retain their genetic ancestors traits, they also share some of the same traits humans do such as highly developed brains, bipedal locomotion, advanced vocalizations, and hands with opposable thumbs. Capable of interbreeding with humans, but the mechanism behind this is still a mystery to biologists.

The Boundary and Channels of Existence- [ERROR. YOU DO NOT HAVE CLEARANCE TO VIEW THIS DATA.]

The Final War - An apocalyptic, planet-wide conflict that has resulted in many technological advances being lost and making the Eternal City the last habitable place that can sustain life. Even then, Humans and Faunae have learned nothing and continue to fight under the banner of the Companies.
