Robots

Robots are an artificially created race in VoltAge.

Background
Built by humans for purposes as varied as they themselves, robots have no distinct features of their own, except the obvious. As machines, robots possess only an artificially created intelligence, are usually made of some type of metal (Quadsteel for working models, or rarer metals for luxury models), and are generally able to perform only a certain set of tasks.

As the story begins, however, a computer virus has swept through the Worldnet, infecting any robot connected with heightened self-awareness. The Garen military's reaction has been to systematically begin rounding up and destroying these "defective" robots, while many other voices are crying out against these acts. Although the origin, extent, and purpose of the virus remains a mystery, it seems that the robots so affected have indeed developed true intelligence; if so, then the military is in actuality carrying out a genocide of unrivaled proportions. The PKD Virus has forced humanity to look at itself and the way it has carried on very carefully, and many do not like what they see.
