Amalgus's page

Amalgus is a prototype. The Lyricist, the powerful and eccentric Designer, decided to see if the communication grid between units could be networked to increase the efficiency of a group. A collection of older, obsolete units were repurposed and made to interlock over a lightweight frame, and redesigned to modularly rearrange their forms as needed. They are able to act as a single entity, or split into many separate entities.

Because of the additional power drain, the Lyricist discovered that the separate units could not be away from the mainframe for extended periods of time, so an emergency spacial-fold system was integrated to teleport units back to the mainframe before they lost power.

The design was strong, but considered to have too many inherent flaws to mass produce, the largest of which was it's confusion and frustration in regards to single entities. The prototype was released on it's own recognizance so it could be observed over time.

Now, the multi-entity known as Amalgus offers it's service to others to test it's own limits. It believes it is a remarkable feat of engineering and intends to prove it. It has difficulty understanding single-unit entities and considers itself superior to them. It is quite young and eager for experience.

Due to conflict with the ruling class of single-entities on it's home world, the Lyricist has sent Amalgus off into the blackness of the stars to explore and gather information. The Lyricist believes Amalgus' unique and adaptable configuration will lend itself toward finding solutions to many problems and surviving unforseen events.

Amalgus is a number of smaller component units that interlock to form a single entity. They can separate and form smaller specialized units in order to perform multiple simultaneous tasks, but only for a short time.

Amalgus draws inspiration from the Replicators from Stargate and Soundwave from Transformers

Amalgus isn't really sure what it is anymore. It's sense of self was wiped out by it's transformation. Now it's a lot of entities with one consciousness. It's primary goal is to sort out what it means to be what it is now, and prove itself to be a viable model.

It is looking to test itself in as many varied situations as it can to test it's limits, expand it's capabilities and prove to the Lyricist that saving it was a good investment.

At this point, Amalgus has no friends or enemies, unless you count the Lyricist which is closer to a God in Amalgus' mind than a friend. It is willing to take on any task just for the experience. The things it desires will become apparent as it's personality becomes more defined.

Amalgus has a strong dislike for new models that feel superior simply because they are new. It dislikes the concept of obsolescence, feeling that the knowledge lost when a model is decommissioned is a tragedy. It hopes to find a way to incorporate the programming of other older models into itself in order to save and benefit from their experience.
