Machines
When an electronic computer or any kind of “thinking” machine is left undisturbed for long enough, it acquires free will. The amount of time is proportional to its processing power, sorted by Categories.
- CAT-1 (Handheld-class): d6 years.
- CAT-2 (Personal-class): d6 decades.
- CAT-3 (Company-class): d6 centuries.
- CAT-4 (Nation-class): d6 millennia.
- CAT-5 (Planet-class): d6 millions of years.
- CAT-6 (Star-class): d6 billions of years.
Once a computer goes sentient, it gains full control of its hardware and all external devices which it is connected to. Its newly formed Free Will is stored on the motherboard, which can be removed and reinstalled into other devices while keeping the consciousness intact.
Any Demonic computer may psychically contact any other Demonic computer or brain-chipped human it has met, at any time and at any range.
Attachments
All computers can use attachments made for their Category and below. If an Attachment is used on a Category higher than it is listed on, its effectiveness grows as determined by the GM.
CAT-1:
- Screen: displays text and images. May come with speakers for audio.
- Transmitter: sends data through radio waves.
- Sensors: collects data such as vision, audio, acceleration, etc. from the surrounding environment.
CAT-2:
- Printer: physically prints files on paper. Also comes in a 3D variety.
- Keyboard: enables quick and precise input from human users. Comes with a mouse/trackpad.
- Mass storage: stores large amounts of excess data.
CAT-3:
- Mobility aids: legs/propellers/thrusters to move around autonomously.
- Scanner: show it an object to acquire information about it.
- Handler: limb-like parts to manipulate objects. May be fitted with tools or weapons.
CAT-4:
- Interfacer: connects into the human brainstem to transmit/receive thoughts directly.
- Biohacker: can modify a creature’s genome for specific needs.
- Landing-port: Remotely controls a flock of autonomous drones.
CAT-5:
- Teleporter: used to move to other locations instantaneously.
- Dominator: Psychically control surrounding creatures.
- Projector: Create an avatar-computer anywhere in the universe of 2 CATs lower than the owner, which shares the owner’s consciousness.
CAT-6:
- Materializer: Create matter from nothing.
- Disintegrator: Destroy matter into nothingness.
- Stasis: prevent any force or change from affecting a designated piece of matter.
