CORE
"Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy."

The Looks

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Not a true representation of CORE, but some nice artwork, and works for the time being. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result of a commission of him from Chelle. All credit and ownership of the art goes to the artist, rytango.

The Legacy

Personality:
CORE is a machine, unyielding, untiring, and driven, he was tasked by his creators to rebuild their race through whatever means deemed possible and/or necessary. He was designed however, as a last resort, which gave his creators cause to outfit him with technology capable of keeping him functioning to their fullest possible capacity. As such, he is completely artificially intelligent, and has the same emotional capacity as that of his creators' race, which exceeds that of the human race by far. His psychophysiological responses to situations he encounters mirror that of a mix between that of his creators' race, and some form of a futuristic human's; the impulses in his thought matrix are immensely complex, but require even less time than those that occur in the human brain, giving him an incredibly faster reaction time and far more streamlined reactions as a whole. Designed to feel, yet not given any base feelings or biases save that of his purpose, he often finds himself irritated with petty discrepancies that occur in reactions in between others when due to biases (he views the majority of them as baseless, pointless opinions, that inhibit the growth of humanity, which in of itself could only serve to aid his cause). Due to his ageless nature, he is incredibly patient, and prefers more reliable, steady approaches to situations, than their quicker (and often more simple) counterparts.

History:
CORE was conceived as naught but a concept on the planet Álfheimr, orbiting the binary stars Hvergelmir and Mímisbrunnr. It was during the Industrial Age of the Kemmariin species who inhabited the era, when the first hydraulic systems were strung together to form a basic binary data storage circuit when the concept became a reality. Gradually built upon, rebuilt, and upgraded throughout the next two millennia, the system's advancement resulted in a massive conglomeration of all of the species' achievements at the heart of their civilisation. A processing unit capable of storing an amount of information so large, no species could ever hope to reach its fullest limits. This was the Silver Age of the Kemmariin race.
The species expanded their reign throughout their solar system planet by planet, colonising and harvesting. Eventually even the systems near them were colonised. In the ensuing three hundred years, the Kemmarii built a vast empire of unbridled wealth, culture, pride, and technology, that quickly became infamous throughout the surrounding empires. They did though have an uncanny knack for creation and consumption, which went unmonitored for far longer than was healthy. The rescources of their home system were burned up in the 'Golden Age' of their expansion, cutting off outgoing materials to the colonies and effectively starving them. This occurred in tandem with the annihilation of their home planet, which ended in a blazing inferno; the ignition of the gases in the air, sparked by an overheated fission reactor's explosion turned the surface of the planet into nothing but a plane of fused metals. Upon realising the shocking fate that had befallen the empire, and it's evident invocation of events that would result in the fall of the species as a whole, several of the last remaining Kemmariin settlements pooled what resources they had into a project that aspired to create a mobile of the Central Operations facilities, upon which the race had begun its ascent to its height. The host was also crated to house models of genetic code for the species, in hope that the being might find its way somewhere where it could give new birth to the species in a safe and nurturing environment.
CORE's current form was the result of the project. The construct was placed inside of a spacecraft, and was set on a course to the nearest planet that was in its beginning stages of hosting sentient life. Given that the launch and travel time combined lasted well over several hundred years, the human race grew from steel-clad knights into what we know today.
Impacting in northern Asia, CORE's craft decimated its surroundings. Upon emerging from his shuttle, he harvested what remains he could from the shuttle, before forging on, dedicated to learning as much as he could about his surroundings and current events to better asses a way in which the Kemmarii could be introduced to the world. For the duration of the following decades, the world changed great amounts, and CORE neared closer and closer to having fully formulated a plan to give his creators' race their second genesis.
