Artificial Intelligences

Unread post by Glistam »

What are all the Artificial Intelligences across the Palladium Megaverse? I can think of ARCHIE (from Rifts) and NEXUS (from Splicers). Though they aren't exactly the scale I'm looking for, I know there's also the Machine People (from Phase World) and several NPC robots from Heroes Unlimited. Any other grand machine intelligences in the books?

Archie from Mutants in Orbit (may fall under your Rifts label)

That android guy ruling the villains in Century Station... (may fall under your NPC robots from HU label)

If we go beyond tech, all mummies/zombies/golems/puppets are also artificial, same with Dopplegangers, Friend in the Head and Living Magics.

The only thing I can think of are the Invid Brains....but they are technicly not a part of the PB megaverce. And they are not really "individuals" NPCs as you are asking for.

There is also the "Digital Gods" in the canon "computer hacking" section of rifter 2.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

    INDIVIDUAL/MOBILE A.I. ENTITIES:
  1. A.R.C.H.I.E. Three (Rifts Earth).
  2. Argent Goodson (Rifts Earth).
  3. Sergeant Beta (Rifts: Splynn Dimensional Market).
  4. A.R.C.H.I.E. Three's most advanced (neural net) Shemarrian Warriors.
  5. DelSyn Seven (Heroes Unlimited setting).
  6. Warden Harker (Heroes Unlimited setting).
  7. The Curmudgeon (Heroes Unlimited setting)


    IMMOBILE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENTITIES:
  8. A.R.C.H.I.E. Seven (Lunar Colonies, above Rifts Earth).
  9. M.A.C.C. Two (Rifts: Australia).
  10. N.E.X.U.S. (The world of the Splicers setting).
  11. The Unnamed Artificial Intelligence cluster running Center (Phase World).
  12. The Mechanoids' Brain Pools (Mechanoid Space; a biologically-formed Artificial Intelligence).
  13. The hyper-massive Artificial Intelligence known only as The Great Machine (Rifts: Dimension Builder), which creates and comprises the entirety of the dimension that it is located in.

How's that for an off-the-top-of-my-head-listing?
(I wonder how many I still missed?)

If we consider magic a form of artifice, then Astral Avatars should qualify. Stuff like Dream Persons on the other hand are a bit more spontaneous and organic IMO.

There's also those gargolems in MercTown.

A.R.C.H.I.E., N.E.X.U.S., and M.A.C.C. were the sorts of intelligences I was looking for, thanks! It's unfortunate that across all the Palladium books there aren't more of these.

I would say the opposite. It's very fortunate.
