This is my project of Storytelling for Games class, term 3.
This is going to be a mini story bible later in this term. We are going to use an entire term working on this project, so right now, this is just an unfinished project.
Story Overview:
XY300 is a typical housekeeping Android. He has no name, feelings, or thoughts.
One day, when XY300 is taking out the garbage, he sees an Android pet cat - Remi, whose body has been old and broken in front of the garbage can. Remi is an Android pet prototype 15 years before the birth date of XY300. Remi is an Android that has awakened its self-awareness. XY300 accidentally touches Remi's core, causing the system to be abnormal, and eventually awakened self-awareness. XY300 is going to be scrapped by its owner because of the mistakes of his work.
XY300 feels scared and runs away. XY300 once again ran into Remi and started to wander with it. In Remi's story, XY300 is full of aspirations to become human. He sees the "dream" as the ultimate condition to become a human being and starts his journey of pursuit.
Major Events:
XY300 is a very obedient housekeeping Android. XY300 met an Android cat Remi, whose body is severely damaged and awakened self-awareness.
After touching the core of the Remi, a large amount of erroneous code invaded the XY300's central control system, causing the XY300 to have feelings and thoughts (Inciting Incident).
XY300 returned home and pretended that nothing had happened. XY300 has emotions and thoughts that the code execution is no longer as precise as it used to be, resulting in doing many things wrong - like breaking plates and remembering the wrong time.
XY300 heard his owner talk about scrapping it and buying a new Android to be the housekeeper. He was very scared and run away. (Escalating Burdens)
XY300 meets Remi once again, and Remi suggests XY300 run away with him because it's the only way to avoid being scrapped. With nowhere else to go, the two Androids set out on the road to exile. (Point of No Return)
Two Androids walked all night along the road out of the city, finally arriving in the early morning in the countryside outside the city. XY300 picked up a silver name tag with Ashes written on it, and he liked it very much and decided to name himself after it. XY300 collected the name tag. Along the way Remi told XY300 a lot about what he had seen and experienced. XY300 began to have the aspiration to become human (Escalating Burdens).
XY300 became interested in Remi's tale of the legendary snow phoenix. He believes that the snow phoenix exists and wants Remi to take him to the snow mountains looking for the snow phoenix. XY300 believes that all human beings have "dreams", so finding the snow phoenix has become the dream of XY300. XY300 believes that once the dream is fulfilled, it can become human. (Escalating Burdens)
They kept going in the direction of the snow mountain.
They walk for a month, seeing many things and all kinds of people / Androids. They had also run into Android's police chase. Once also cooperated to escape from danger and trouble. They were close to reaching the snow mountains.
When passing through a small town, XY300 suddenly went down. Remi dragged XY300's body around to seek help and was finally saved by a very kind old couple to their home. The old couple told them that the XY300 had a forced shutdown code in its body and that it was now only three days away from a complete shutdown. (Low Point / Major Crisis)
After XY300 learned that he would die soon, he told Remi that his last wish was to see the snow phoenix of human legend. So even though XY300's body was already struggling to function, he still insisted on starting climbing the snowy mountain with Remi.
On the way to the top of the mountain, they met various difficulties. Snowstorms, avalanches, and beasts have become obstacles to their progress. (Climax)
XY300 did not end up climbing to the top of the mountain and saw the snow phoenix. The low temperature and the crash accelerated his shutdown, and he finally died where he could see the peak. At the last moment, he realized that he was a complete human being as long as he always had hope, enjoyed life, and loved. (Recognition)
Remi is very sad. He decided to help XY300 to fulfill his dream. With his weak body, he dragged XY300's body, which was no longer warm, and climbed to the top of the mountain little by little. He posed XY300's body as if he were sitting, facing the direction of the rising sun. The sun gradually rose, Remi and XY300 were leaning tightly together under the pink and orange sunrise.
