Inn0cence: Lost Future

hat is Life? Is it rushing blood, muscle and bone and straining tendon? But at the most baellular level, molecules snap and twist, clicking like clockwork. The search for an animatiitae, a “life force,” was called off long ago.

hat is Mind? Is it sparking axon and firing synapse, flavored by a bath of hormones as it asses that infinitesimal gap? Once the Mind was thought to be a separate entity, commandingody but of different essence. But consciousness is now know to dwell only in masses of binaissue; the nerve either fires or it does not, One or Zero.

hat is Soul? If the body is a machine and the brain a computer, then what special status cahe born and grown claim over the designed and constructed? If life can be reduced to

echanistic principles, then what of the machines themselves? erhaps the only trait that sets the organic apart from the synthetic is Purpose. The spawn NA, the self-replicating things that slither and swim and crawl and walk and run and fly upohis planet have no purpose apart from survival and continuation. No maker, no design, no estiny. The device's purpose, however petty and short-sighted, is clear; the product of anoeing's cleverness. And though the device may spin and chirp and resemble a living thing, whts usefulness is at an end, it is cast into the trash-heap without a second thought, and it oves no more.

ecause no machine, bereft of Life, of Mind, of Soul, would still strive to function after iturpose was at an end.

o machine would seek to Live.

his document uses the nWoD Storyteller system, but the content is not linked he urban horror/fantasy setting. While by necessity it conforms to the laws arrative causality and game logic, Inn0cence follows the conventions of sci-fot fantasy.

ut these rules are also a toolkit, not necessarily tied to the verdant post-pocalypse of the Lost Future. The Storyteller system is broad enough to runlassic Cyberpunk or Space Opera if the fancy takes you, and this writer isn'toing to veto a near-future WoD game of Vampires vs Robots.

achine characters fall somewhere between vanilla humans and WoD supernaturalsower-level, roughly equivalent to Hunters. They are resilient and highly ade

n a few specific fields, but dependent on a technological infrastructure. Thannot heal damage to their shells without direct intervention, and some jobseed a 2nd person to do properly. A part can only be repaired so many timesefore it must be replaced with a spare, and the default assumption is thatachines will have to pick through dumps and ruins to keep themselves running.

achine applications are also slightly toned down compared to, say, Vampireisciplines. And as emergent sentients, machines can initially reach only souch expertise in a broadield, however much theypecialize in a singleubject.

achines also suffer a heftyocial penalty when dealingith many humans. Their ownack of emotional maturity ornderstanding of humanehavior means that theyften put their feet in theirouth, metaphoricallypeaking. And that's beforene factors in the unease,esentment, fear, or outrightatred that humans may harborhemselves.

ain the following traits:

: A machine's shell is hardly an inertlab of metal and plastic; tubes and wires fill evenhe simplest of components, and more complex shellsontain tensile cables filled with fluid and other,ore intricate tissues. Machines are simply lessubject to the various complications of injury, andheir outer casing is much more resilient than humanpidermis. Machines convert half of all incomingethal damage into bashing, rounded down. A Machinelways counts as wearing 1/1 armor. This armor doesot stack with subsequent worn armors. Machines doot heal naturally, and must be manually repaired

ith the Crafts skill.

: machines have littleraction against humans ill-disposed towards them.ersuade, Socialize, and Empathy tests made byachines regarding humans suffer the “1s eatuccesses” curse of OldWoD. Humans accustomed to theompany of machines are not subject to this effect.

Machines begin play with the Eideticemory merit for free.

Machines may purchase successivepecialties, which stack up to 3.

With limited experience to drawpon, Machines are initially constrained by theapabilities of their hardware. While they possessillpower, they may not spend it to increase diceools or defenses until they increase in Spark.

Both humans and machines storetheir identity in a solid-statprocessor/drive. But where thdrive of a human is reliant onvarious life support systems tremain intact, a Machine'sidentity is far more resilientA robot's entire shell can bescrapped, but if the quantumdrive remains undamaged, the Awithin can still be reactivate

AIs within a disconnectedquantum drive have no awarenesthere's nothing for them tothink WITH. They need to belinked to some sort of externahardware in order to run thesimulated neural network that a self-adding program.

If a machine would be “killed”by lethal damage, it must makeStamina+Resolve test. If thistest succeeds, their QuantumDrive remains intact and may bsalvaged by allies and installinto a new shell. This procesis traumatic; a new shell justdoesn't FEEL right, and it taktime to tweak all the driversjust the way the AI likes it.Differing hardware can alsoaffect personality.

Being reinstalled in a new sherequires the player's allies tseek out and invest in anexpensive new body and performdelicate procedure. If this idone, the player must reallocaphysical attributes to match tnew shell's capabilities andfavored Attributes. XP spent Applications is recalculatedbased on the shell's new FavorApps, and the dots in saidapplications are reducedaccordingly. Any spare XP islost. Deal with it. The AIalso loses one dot of Spark,which may reduce skill,attribute,and application acceuntil it is increased again.

umans have always passed off unpleasant or tedious tasks to machines, includinteracting with other humans. Persona shells come with advanced emulationoftware that tracks human social cues like posture, tone of voice, and facialxpressions. End-users demanded customization, and Persona machines thus operan Open-Source software and have an endless plethora of adjustable settings andd-on features. Their hardware and software favor precision over brute strengnd roughly half have vaguely feminine proportions. This shell class also covany medical robots, especially those associated with patient care.

The Lost Future setting implies a slightly more combat-heavy style of gameplay, wherein injury is less fearedand the players will be functioning as a team. Thus, it is suggested to use the grid/minis combat WoD rulesthe Mirrors sourcebook. In this, each character's turn allows for 1 instant action and 2 move actions (raisingdefense is a move action). An Instant action allows the player to shift 1 square.

Check out the Mirrors book for other ideas for running offbeat games using the nWoD ruleset.

Its pretty kick-ass.

hat is Spark? Spark is everything within a machine that is neither hardware oftware. Spark is development along a path, a wellspring, a dynamo. Also,park doesn't really exist.

park is the “art” in a painting that would otherwise be a collection of pigmepplied to canvas. Spark is structure.

echanistic descriptions of Spark fall flat, because reductionism is bunk.

tructure matters. Structure requires energy, contains energy.

park functions in many ways like Blood Potency or Wyrd; it starts at 1 for frnd it may be increased at character creation by spending Merit dots at a 3-toate. Increasing Spark after this point costs new dots x8. Spark is believedax out at 5.

ach shell contains a clean, reliable microfusion reactor with a constant, lowower output. The reactor runs on thorium and fresh water. Thorium is easy tbtain; either recently processed or as salvage. A few ounces of Thorium alloor several months of operation; a fresh gallon of water must be cycled in eveeek. Excess charge from this reactor is stored in a capacitor, which theachine then uses for more energy-intensive activities.

achines can hold a maximum number of charges equal to their Stamina+their Spas a machine advances in Spark, it increases the operational efficiency of itshell.

urchasing a favored application costs new dots x 5. Purchasing any other cosew dots x 7 (a doubled-up Application costs new dots x 4). Applications are ombination of hardware and firmware; a machine with the necessary physicalomponents must still work to utilize them to their fullest potential. Theeights of most applications can only be achieved by a high-Spark machine, andere never anticipated by the original designers. Increasing dots in anpplication is a combination of evolving firmware, restoring long-defunctomponents, and adding entirely new ones.
