Destroy and Conquer Version 1.26.3

Destroy and Conquer Version 1.26.3, DAC, or Artie is a robot created in The Feli Experiments in the year 16. He was designed to resemble a buck with sharp antlers.

Physical Appearance
Artie's colors are completely greyscale (excluding internal parts such as wires and circuit boards). He has no hair as this was deemed unnecessary by his creators. He is very short with a lean, somewhat scrawny design. Although he is a sexless robot, he has antlers to fight with and a somewhat masculine voice.

Relationships
Artie currently has no relationships.

History
Artie was created after war was declared on Feli. He was the first successful artificial intelligence that was able to function, for the most part, like an organic lifeform. As electricity is rarely used on Feanthon, he is powered by Limbo magic. This magic gave him a semi-organic consciousness. To his creators’ disapproval, he also developed an idea of morality.

Artie was shown footage of The Great War. He saw the fear in those hunted and killed by Feli. He himself had felt fear when his caretakers would hit him as punishment and to get him used to the feeling. He didn’t want to bring that pain to others.

After training, he was put on the battlefield, where he ended up killing two people. He became injured and hid. He was found by Armadillan soldiers, who refused to heal him due to fear that when repaired he would turn on them. He was left to die, but survived when he returned to the labs late at night.

By now, it was year 18. The Great War ended, and Artie was set free. He decided to live alone in Origin Forest because he felt like he didn’t fit in and didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Artie was intended to kill, but not to live. Feli planned to make many robots for cheap, so they did not care about Artie’s ability to survive for long. He is a glass cannon. He knows that he could easily be killed and often fears for his life.

In the labs, he was always referred to as “it,” but he usually prefers to be called “he” in an effort to make himself seem more organic. However, he sometimes refers to himself as “it” to reclaim his past and intended purpose. He chose he/him pronouns due to his antlers and masculine voice.
