In a world where the arcane and science meet, there was an idea to create the perfect peacekeepers. Robotic angels to fly overhead and keep peace throughout the city. But no core could be created advanced enough to give these machines the ability to perform all needed tasks.
But then one scientist asked the question. Did these angels have to be fully machines? Could a human mind not be used to pilot these angels? Were not the scientists working on using the Jelroth Crystals to imprint a human's memories into crystal format? If it could be copied, could it not be transferred?
And so the first angels were created, driven with the minds of brave volunteers transferred into crystal matrices. These new angels were perfect. A shining beacon of hope to the city. But there were only so many willing to forgo their human forms and become mechanical protectors of the city. The question was asked, did the minds need to be... voluntary?
A fun little story that is brewing in my mind, and some images to go with it. This is my own figure turned into an angel, not that you'd ever know it was me. ;)
