Zenoli
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Zenoli was birthed from an underground android creation lab in the southern Cyrdian Empire. During the Great Cataclysm, every similar lab in Salernum was destroyed, leaving only the few that had been constructed elsewhere surviving. With no one to operate them, the labs lay dormant for some time, but the magic of the cataclysm transformed them into what would come to be called soul forges, machines that created new androids on their own. Zenoli was the first android born in this way.
Zenoli was born long before any of the other androids created by the soulforges, almost as if by mistake. He was unlike almost all other androids in appearance, and he was born with a permanent disease caused by his biology. When he emerged, the world was still a nearly uninhabitable wasteland, as the cataclysm had only ended roughly 35 years earlier. He slowly learned to survive on what was left of the previous society, or by foraging. For over a century, he lived in complete solitude, not knowing of the existence of other sentient life. As he aged, his disease worsened to the point that he frequently coughed up blood. Near the end of his life, he stumbled upon a small community of survivors, mostly surviving androids, who cared for him a few short years until he died.
Historians and archeologists of the far future have no knowledge of Zenoli's miraculous existence, as he is indistinguishable from the other dead androids from the period. In fact, "Zenoli" is simply the name given to the theoretical first android born from a soul forge. This android is assumed to have been born much later, centuries after Zenoli actually existed.
