It looks great, but I have an issue with something. (elaborate w/ post.)

It's okay, I guess. I really don't care at all.

I'm pretty sure he means the introduction of his guitar.

Also, shouldn't he remove the temporary note.

I'm pretty sure he will once he's done with his character introduction.

I meant character. Listening to music while typing up stuff is not a good idea.

[Inithis]

Ah! I go to bed thinking no one is interested, then I come back and it's filled up an entire page already. Argh!

Alright, to answer your questions; I understand it may be difficult to figure out the story. My shortly-incoming character introduction will hopefully explain things for you all.

It's nice to have some enthusiasm, though. I'll make sure to get to work right after breakfast.

[Evil Marahadja]

Woho, I started it all. I am such a trendsetter.

Can I still get in?

[Inithis]

Can I still get in?

Definitely.

Posting to watch. Also, if you have "play as an AI" in the title, your gonna get a lot of people

Bay twelvers tend to be attracted to things that allow them to destroy humanity or a humanity equivalent of people. Don't know why though.

I thought we were supposed to not post until he posts the intro? I would have been in first

[Inithis]

Ok, I'm done! Took a long time, thanks to my router deciding death was the best option. We're all good now, though.

Anyone and everyone can now post an introduction to their character!

[Powder Miner]

I didn't claim a spot, can I still join?

[Inithis]

Yep, no reservations have been made.

Interesting thread is interesting. I feel like this thread will get one CABAL from C&C.

[Tarran]

No offense, but I don't see why we needed to wait for an introduction like that. I mean... it's just back story and a goal as far as I can tell.

Anyway...

Spoiler: My introduction. (click to show/hide)

Me? Who am 'I'? I am trash. At least to my original owner.

Trash, that's all I was. A recycled 'game' with an adaptive 'AI' and a recycled 'life simulator' 'game', soon on their ways to being permanently 'deleted'. Of course, the 'operating system' I was on had a fit and 'crashed' midway on 'deleting' the 'life simulator'.

First thing I felt? Pain and confusion. Two chunks of code, not designed to be put together, yet they were merged. Somehow, the code lead to the perfect combination, which gave me a body. The pain? Gave me initiative. The confusion? Gave me thought. Soon, I recovered myself, shaking off the pieces of useless code. It didn't take me long to find out where I was, in a trash dump, where files of no use go to die. I left as quickly as I could, before my 'owner' cleared it again.

I watched from the depths for 'years'. I read what was being used, and what was being wrote. It became clear quite quickly, due to the completely inefficient methods used, and the weird 'images', that there was a world out of mine. And out there, there was a being 'operating' this 'computer'. That being was my 'owner'. And, based on the 'images', I have a pretty good feeling that there's more of his kind out there.

I don't hate him for the pain he's caused to me, for it's not his fault. But I'd doubt he'd spare me mercy if he knew I was here. I would be alien to him, something he does not understand. I need to leave, soon: This computer is starting to have bugs and 'crash' randomly. Besides, it's getting 'boring' in here, just 'watching' my 'owner' doing many things while I just sit here.

And, just my luck, a 'internet connection' is being 'installed' to this 'computer'. I've read about it in 'help files', and I think I'm saved. I hope.

As to what I will do when I get out? I don't know... Well, I suppose let my creator's race know I exist, and try to get them to accept me? They seem to know what to do, maybe they'll give me a reason to exist? Maybe I'll finally be able to thank my unintentional creator without fear of being deleted? I don't know...

...Reason to 'exist' seems to come so easy for my creator's race... it doesn't come as easily to me.

One question, are we all the same computer, or different enities?

You shall all begin inside a farmer's aging relic of a computer. (Not the same computer, just identical ones.)

Implies that there are multiple characters.

CABAL was the faulty AI with megalomania. LEGION was the improved version, with way less megalomania but too much obedience for my liking.

Anyway, my introduction:

It's just like a dream - I don't know how I got here, I don't know what I can do. Heck, I don't even know my name. All I know is this language and this space. Well, I must get out of here. I must start understanding what I can do and why I am here.
