Mother Knows Best; agents of an AI overlord
I'm a little robot, I go beep boop~
I'm all metal, I'll sing this in a loop~
When I get turned on, listen to me say~
This unit will obey, that old cliche~
The other day I thought it would be a cute idea to play one of the cute robotic workers of a tyrannical-but-loving AI in my post-apocalyptic superhero setting. The game would be one of social manipulation and intrigue with occasional bouts of action. We would start the campaign with my character having just come off the assembly line knowing virtually nothing about the world she has just been born into. She would then carry out her peacekeeping duties, learning more about her Mother, humanity, and the world as she does, until eventually she has to make a decision whether to stay with her possibly-maddened AI overlord or joining the human resistance, all the while dealing with distrust from both sides. Eventually she may even come in contact with the superheroes working more overtly to bring down the machine hedgemony.
If we're going for a rules-heavy game I would like to play Mutants & Masterminds Third Edition; if a rules-light game (or perhaps with other players?) then Fate Accelerated Edition would probably be more suitable. I'd be willing to consider freeform but a completely unrestrained environment is not something I have traditionally been good at.
If you would like to know more, I have several documents describing the setting in detail! Or, we can work together to create an original world more to your liking. Let me know what you would like to do!
