Bastion v.2

Bastion
Their entire purpose was to act as mindless, absolute
power. Never were they to obtain free-will, never were the
Last Bastion meant to turn on their creators. But... I guess
that is the fate of hubris, the fate of humanity. We had the
audacity to create and command intelligent life itself. But
how was I to know? We stood with our heels hanging over the
proverbial cliff, backed into a corner that threatened
extinction.
So, with my last breath, I say unto the world that I tried. I
say that I would not do anything different; that, given the
chance, I would create the Bastion again and again in
desperate hopes that I could insure the survival of my people.
- Dr. Landrin Aiy, Medbay Log#19
The Last Bastion are the amalgamations of pure weave-
manipulated cybernetics created by desperate humans in a
time far in the future for the purposes of stopping a war.
Dubbed Bastion, these constructs were created without free-
will, without wants or dreams, with the singular destiny of
protecting their rapidly dying creators. This, however, did not
last long. Due to their hastily built design, however sturdy and
intelligent it may be, there happened to be many backdoors in
the logic. Particularly willed Bastion were able to, within
time, release themselves from their survitude.
This quickly went unnoticable as many Bastion began to
rebel, causing chaos and mayhem toward their already
vulnerable creators. It was at this point that Dr. Aiy activated
a failsafe within their code; an extremely volatile,
experimental magic that erupted, causing portals of
chronurgic origins to sweep the Last Bastion far back across
time.
Unfamiliar Surroundings
Now in a place and time entirely unbeknownst to the
Bastion, they are left vulnerable and ignorant of the world,
forced to survive, adapt and trust no one if they are to keep
their newly earned freedom. Many have chosen to keep to
hermit, never risking imprisionment again. However, many
Bastion see this new world as a fresh start, a chance to live
how they choose to live, without the words of another to
command them.
Physical Appearance
The Last Bastion are similar in visage to their human
makers, with slight exceptions. The Bastion have crevices,
vertical streches of hollow skin across their joints denoting
areas of heat emission. Their eyes also tend to be bright blue
in color, with variating overlays that act as scanners to their
surroundings.
Bastion Names
Bastion are without names, instead given serial numbers
to identify them. However, in these new lands, many tend to
adopt nicknames, especially as a means to forget the past.
Bastion Names: HS-113, QID-12, 8RUT3-1, MAG-33
Nicknames: Rapid, Blue, Smile, Dream, Escape, Courage
