Iwamine Robotics
Overview
Iwamine Robotics is a Castor-based corporation founded in October 2284 by Dr. Xiang Iwamine which specializes in the creation of Robots and Androids. Prior to the founding of the company, Dr. Iwamine had built his early Androids (Iwamine Models 1 through 9) mainly on his own, and had used them to attain funding for the company's foundation.
Android Models
The following is a list of all Androids produced by Iwamine Robotics. They are listed by model number (Iwamine Model X-##), followed by name, gender design (X for neutral gender, M for male, F for female), date of activation, and finishing with any other relevant notes.
Entries in italics are no longer active.
A-Series
The A-Series were Xiang Iwamine's early creations, and lacked sentient artificial intelligence, apart from A-12. All prior to A-10 were created before the foundation of Iwamine Robotics itself.
- A-01 - Yang - X - March 2270 - Rather simplistic. No sentient A.I.
- A-02 - Chang - X - June 2271 - Somewhat simplistic. No sentient A.I.
- A-03 - Heng - X - October 2272 - Somewhat simplistic. No sentient A.I. Was damaged beyond the point of repair in 2298.
- A-04 - Guang - M - October 2274 - First to appear somewhat human. No sentient A.I.
- A-05 - Bill - M - December 2276 - No sentient A.I.
- A-06 - Sam - M - March 2279 - No sentient A.I.
- A-07 - Liu - F - June 2281 - No sentient A.I.
- A-08 - Qing - F - July 2283 - No sentient A.I. Went missing during the Two Year Gap.
- A-09 - Fred - M - May 2284 - No sentient A.I.
- A-10 - Amy - F - April 2286 - No sentient A.I.
- A-11 - Enlai - M - November 2287 - No sentient A.I. Self-terminated in 2315 despite an apparent lack of sentience.
- A-12 - Kang - M - June 2289 - Attained its own sentience in August 2289. Iwamine B-Series based off of this.
B-Series
The B-Series were the first Iwamine Robotics Androids built specifically with sentience as a pre-exisiting factor, following the design of A-12. Much of the B-Series ended up being designed for specified tasks, mainly in pairs of two each.
- B-01 - Henry - M - September 2291 - First to be built with pre-designed sentience capabilities, based off A-12.
- B-02 - Sally - F - August 2293
- B-03 - Delun - M - May 2295
- B-04 - Guiren - M - April 2297
- B-05 - Diane - F - January 2299 - Designed for archaeological research, survey, and recovery.
- B-06 - Jack - M - September 2300 - Designed for archaeological research and excavation.
- B-07 - Carol - F - June 2302 - Designed for search and rescue. Destroyed in a building collapse in 2317.
- B-08 - Rudy - M - February 2304 - Designed for search and rescue.
- B-09 - Ning - F - June 2306
- B-10 - Daiyu - F - December 2307
C-Series
The C-Series were designed to have higher variety, versatility, and combat capabilities than the B-Series. (Combat-capable models generally need to recieve special military or government clearance to be used for military or security purposes.)
- C-01 - Eric - M - June 2309 - Currently in the employ of TTT. Participated in the Side Bracket of the Black Rock Tournament of 2325 on their behest.
- C-02 - Joseph - M - November 2310
- C-03 - Jane - F - March 2312 - Destroyed in a testing accident in 2314.
- C-04 - Bai - M - August 2313
- C-05 - Meifen - F - February 2315
- C-06 - Sandra - F - June 2316 - Participated in the King Keystone Competition.
- C-07 - Mark - M - October 2317 - Destroyed in combat in 2321.
- C-08 - David - M - December 2318 - Currently in the employ of a private corporation.
- C-09 - Shen - M - January 2320 - Rather quiet. Seems highly bothered by the Two Year Gap, as he lacks memories from his first year and a half of life.
- C-10 - Xue - F - December 2320 - Was found in storage in a low temperature unit shortly after the Two Year Gap. Few notes were found regarding the reason for this, just a notice from Dr. Iwamine himself saying that she was to be kept in emergency storage until a mental defect could be worked out. When examined, her data storage centers appeared to have melted.
- C-11 - Jian - M - November 2321 - Was set to be permanently prepared for combat. Had to be quickly destroyed, as he then designated everything with clear sentience or artificial intelligence as a target. It was determined this issue was likely in part due to incomplete functions due to the Two Year Gap's memory loss, as C-11 was started during the Two Year Gap.
- C-12 - Mei - F - February 2322 - Was quickly created through the remains of different destroyed models, mainly a modified version of the shell of C-10 and the inner workings of C-11, as part of determining a proper solution to the problems in both. No negative issues were determined, but combat functionality testing was set to be reworked, as she adamantly refused to use combat capabilities.
D-Series
The D-Series was created for the purpose of perfecting Iwamine Robotics' combat mode for Androids, wherein its models' battle capabilities are focused and enhanced.
- D-01 - Francis - M - November 2322 - Was designed in conjunction with D-02. Designed as one possible combat mode solution.
- D-02 - Rachel - F - January 2323 - Was designed in conjunction with D-01. Designed as one possible combat mode solution.
- D-03 - Ellen - F - 12 October 2323
- D-04 - Andrew - M - July 2324 - First android to test the expanded properties of Keystones following their settling in 2324.
- D-05 - Weimin - M - April 2325 - Final product of combat mode testing.
- D-06 - Guan-yin - F - September 2325
- Models beyond D-06 have been since created, but are yet to be listed.
Trivia
- Iwamine Robotics regularly cycles between Provincian and Handoran names for naming their Androids.
