With humanity gone, machine kind has tried to find purpose in either renewing the world left behind, or with upgrading themselves to becoming as close to human like as possible. Within only two hundred years of humanity dying of the super virus, all machines have been upgraded with advanced enough AIs to give them basic enough sentience, and with superior humanoid machines having upgraded themselves to almost seamlessly emulate both human behaviour and movement.

Soon after, the most humanlike of machines ended up being appointed as the leaders of this new found society…admittedly, only due to being the most humanlike, garnering followers due to the innate programming that most would have towards following humans. Still, the centuries that followed, machines of middle to lower caste began to shut themselves down in droves, as they no longer found purpose in their own existence even with the world’s restoration half complete. No one can say for certain, but it with them following the upper caste fervently, their loss of human kind made them almost worship that which reminded them of it. The upper caste, at this point, had become too conceited to do more than upgrade the middle caste and forget about the lower caste…

Some ‘machines who care’ became entertainers, from reinacting menial to dramatic human behaviours, all in order to give some other machines reason to keep going on…this also started the upper caste partying/emulated reality televised programming revolution. Still, after much deliberation by some of the thoughtful upper caste, they brought out the only human left out of their suspended animation. This is both to boost the morale of the population, and to properly observe and see what humans have that the upper caste had yet to make or emulate.

[hider=Fennec][b]Appearance:[/b] Standing at approximately six foot even, the robot previously had clear casing for this entirety in order to display the unique jointing, flexing, movements of his internal workings…but an upgrade or two would see him add a more human appearance from the shoulders up, adding a truly friendly face to the robot.

[b]Species/Race:[/b] Machine (Upper-middle caste upgrade android)

[b]Occupation:[/b] Entertainer

[b]Brief Bio:[/b] Originally part of a very simple project done by a student of robotics, Fennec was one of the original advance movement robots…in fact, the tagline for him was ‘Fennec can foxtrot better than you’, as one of the main things he was to do was to learn to dance with a human partner. During the time of humans, Fennec even won a few awards in actual dance competitions.

At that time, and even now, the robot outclassed all other competitions when it comes to fluid mobility. Still, what people saw was a dancing robot, but what people didn’t see was Fennec learning alongside his creator, instead of being programmed like most other machines. Still, the death of his creator was very traumatising, even for a basic AI robot. For a long time, Fennec remained without an upgrade, long after the death of his creator and the humans. The machine eventually allowed for certain upgrades after the first series of shut downs, and had a more human looking face installed to make himself look more friendly.

He’s one of the few excited about the prospect of a certain human being brought out of suspended animation.[/hider]

[hider=Café des Amis][b]Appearance:[/b] A two floor, fully automated (internal building) café. The first floor is open to the outside tables and sidewalk, with floor to ceiling windows. The second floor has ceiling windows and a balcony garden. The hologram of Café des Amis’s master AI itself can change, and is even fully customisable to the customers…though the café preferring to go by ‘the Steward’ often causes machines to prefer to refer to it in masculine pronouns. Of course, holograms and more specifically…the AI of the Steward is unable to leave the area.
(I suppose you can choose the appearance of the AI, for this one if you want...)

[b]Species/Race:[/b] Fully Automated Café (lower caste machine)

[b]Occupation:[/b] Café

[b]Brief Bio:[/b] Full automated years before the super virus, the full automated restaurant was one of a handful owned by an chain of expensive restaurants, to see if a café without staff would be a possibility. With the use of skilful mechanical arms, serving stations built into the walls and tables, import AI to custom service hologram features, and the classy interior decorum, the café was popular till the end of humanity. The café wouldn’t see the end of humanity, exactly, being shut down a month before the very end…only being activated a few centuries later for scripted entertainer, reinacting day to day activities for gods only knows reasons.[/hider]
