ABOUT THE BOT
shy and easy-going, apollo keeps to himself, preferring to passively observe the world around him. when with the right company he appears to be a little more talkative, communicating through his radio. he likes to focus on his hobbies and collect things, going for walks, and living too much in his own head.
STORY
apollo is the result of a computer glitch which occurred in an alternate future. with all life long gone, machines and artificial intelligence were left to run on their own for millennia. a beyond super-intelligent computer hivemind with a database of every car ever inveted by humans had a fault and ended up with apollo (and some other friends.) the world in which apollo exists is cast in an eternal "night", having had ai create a projected black screen around the earth, strong enough to block the sunlight. massive cities full of "living" technology, liminal spaces, and lit up skyscrapers provide light, comfort, and company. apollo, having discovered remnants of the civilisations before, copies what he knows of human beings. yet his inability to relate to their feelings and way of life can get to him sometimes.
