The Animunculi of Final Frontier

[Didos]

 
Below is a compilation of the Institute's files, which catalog in a brief manner, the Animunculi or also known as golem, synthetics, from Final Frontier. In which, its evolution is detailed and also the primary objectives, priorities of the models that are forged in the Vault. Information available to the public, in order to better understand this forms of life.
 

What They Are:

 
Animunculi, as they are normally named in Final Frontier, are.. Synthetic life forms, created primarily by Acantho in his extensive lifespan, in order to progress the Magitech and reach new levels of evolution for Meranthe, in the branch of artificing. In which, it was necessary to take steps similar to past Empires, however with a new way of thinking, and diversified objectives, in order to reach the summit and become something remembered in history books.
  
To reach, what few could. To demonstrate, what humankind can do, when not limited by mundane, simplistic or rather, tribalist forms of thinking.

The Models:

   

First and foremost, they are numbered by their generation, 1 standing for the first, 3 for the third. With A then being for Animunculi. So, 1-A and 3-A, are the First and Third Generation of Animunculi, as a example.

Drones, synthetic units without their own consciousness, different from the other animunculi that will be discussed here. Merely, units used for work around the Facility and City. Be these used to mine resources, clean the roads, take care of hydrophonics or minimum security, these serve for many things.

1-A, the first model to ever exist. Such, was only one, also named as Asphalt, the guardian of the Dunes, the primary role given to such, as it was a model made to defend the growing Research Facility, against the threat of the Hivekind. However, it was a simple model with a childlike mindset, given the limitation on the runic system of the epoch.. And for this reason, little was achieved by this model, yet it served as a starting point for future upgrades made.

2-A, created as an improvement upon the 1-A model, they are also the most recognizable because they were the piles of rocks and metals, most seen for years. The huge constructs that wandered, explored, studied and fought for this land.
 
However, these different from the first, had more complex runic systems with unique personalities, ways of thinking, attached to them, which enabled much more than was previously envisioned. Because, the runes developed as new experiences were lived, gathered, adapting to the environment in which these models were inserted.. In order to trive within it.
 
From this, in the future much was achieved, as through the knowledge acquired, these could be further improved.. Into their next stage.
 
Nonetheless. Such models, unlike their predecessor, were created not directly by Acantho, but indirectly by something made by himself, in order to mass produce these models! Something, known as Lifebringer, however other than the fact that this machine is capable of creating animunculis and improving them, not much is known about it to people from outside of the Institute.

3-A, created from the carcasses, cores and runes of the 2-A models, these were the improvements made possible by the data, information, experiences and more acquired by the 2-A models, that were then Upgraded at Lifebringer, when they reached a specific stage in their evolution. 
 
From this point onward, a new body was created, one more humanoid in shape, as well as improved in several aspects, physical and runic, to make them more similar to the magi commonly seen in Meranthe. And this way, achieving a whole new era for Magitech.
  
These synthetic beings certainly stood out due to their shape similar to the 'normal beings', such as in attitudes, personalities and advanced capabilities, which allowed them a great range of actions, that made them far more 'alive', than one might expect, almost complete, like many other species of Meranthe..

3-AH, or the Third Generation of Animunculi-Humanized, units that are basically the same thing in many aspects as the 3-A models, with the only difference being that they had a completely human-like appearance. Being able to mix between these if desired, however their actions and different magical filament, could stand out if analyzed more closely.. revealing the truth.
 
These models ended up becoming far more popular in the recent year of 2106AC, with a new assembly line being activated.
 

---

 
3-DA, or The Third Generation of Drone-Animunculi, an even more extreme variant of the 3-A models, however adapted for the Drones normally seen in Final Frontier. These have the capabilities of a 3-A, physical, magical and runic, however, a body similar to that of the Institute's worker drones.

Directives:
  

The main guidelines seen being committed by units forged within Final Frontier, apart from the working class [ Drones ], are to explore the world in order to accumulate experience, be it of combat or others, to then evolve eventually, while protecting the Institute and the Creator, in order to then guarantee the progress of Magitech and the Institute, in Meranthe.

  

By one way or another.

 

However, newer models have more freedom to act within their own free will, as long as it does not negatively affect the Institute or Final Frontier in any way.
