The Replacement

The Replacement

Intro

This is a story I've been working on on and off for over a year now. It is a spinoff of my Spaz Studios Presents "Forbidden Fruit", in the aspect of HRM (Human Replacement Model) type androids, and the DPM (Donated Personality Model) type androids from Spaz Studios Presents "Substitute". As this is my most recent work, I am incorporating entirely new elements in order to make my androids fit in with more modern conventions and concepts.

Because of how long this story is going to be, I am splitting it into seven major parts, most of which containing sub-parts, as well as a prologue, epilogue, and an extra segment at the end detailing where each major character is after the events of the story, since some of them will be spun off into an upcoming Spaz Studios Presents.

This story follows the life of two lovers, one of which dies in an accident and is replaced with an HRM android. Their story continues over the course of several years, as the world suddenly changes around them...

Glossary of terms

• HRM: A HRM, or Human Replacement Model, is an android built in the image of a real person who has died. These models are programmed with an A.I. designed to emulate that person's memories, personality, and sum life experiences. This features sets it aside from converts, who are living people who willingly transferred their mind and soul into a machine body.

• DPM: A DPM, or Donated Personality Model, is an android built in the image of a real person who is still alive, or who once lived long ago. These models are usually commissioned by the person, or family of the person, to perform a series or pre-programmed tasks and earn income for the donor while they go to school or take care of their kids. In addition to having the same physical appearance, they are also programmed to emulate the donor's personality, but not necessarily all of their memories.

• Convert: A convert is an android built in the image of a real person who is still alive. Unlike the HRMs, a convert is someone who willingly has their mind and soul transferred into a machine, usually because their organic body is severely injured or sick, or in some cases, if they have recently died. Unlike the other two types, these androids are completely autonomous and do not have an A.I. emulating them or determining their actions.

• Artificial Human: An artificial human is an android that was conceived from the genetic information of two individuals. They are born as infants and gradually grow up, learning from their peers, environment, and experiences just as a human child would. These androids are completely autonomous, but are also A.I. based.
