Hello and welcome.

It is now the year 2719. This is a dystopian afrofuturistic society where 75% of the population is composed of androids.

Our livelihood such as transportation, food and water are all placed in one central location, the wrist. It was deemed the Required Atom Materializer or RAM for short eons ago. For humans, the RAM is located in a watch-like device where the capabilities of the RAM are limited. For androids, the RAM can be either displayed on the wrist or it can be displayed normally through the eyes, the android is the only one capable of completely using the RAM.

The distinguishment between droids and humans are hard to tell. Some androids have escaped and are wearing a skin to protect their self. This skin can take any form a droid wants it to. As well as having the capability to still perform as if the skin were still a human.

The society is segregated with a hierarchy of humans vs bots. Humans are at the very top of society. Bots are at the bottom.

If you are still fully human, you are so rare that you become a royal being. Many humans hid out when Alton Stenberg became ruler of all and deemed that androids would become our new society decades ago. Many people were skeptical of his rule because he was previously a scientist by trade. What would a scientist know of world rule?

We were under his tyrannic scrutiny for many dreadful years, or so history books deem to be true. We became his living, breathing subjects. The legend goes that it started off simple enough. He began paying people to join a discreet testing group. These people would go off to the facility and never were seen again.

One day, the first partial bot to ever be created was Lisel Vesterbaaten. He was a man who traveled high and low to find a cure to his incurable disease. A scientist promised him that his soul could successfully be transferred into another body with only a few modifications of metal parts to keep certain functions working properly.

He became infamous. People who were skeptical of Alton at first, began to sing his high praises. Many people shelled out money so that they could become partial bots as well, in order to live forever, however many didn't take into account that he had only had one successful transfusion so the deaths that transpired afterwards were astounding.

He soon lost all his rapport. All of his future clients withdrew from the experiment. He became angered and decided that every homeless person had to report to his facility. He lied to poor people and told them that he was tearing down every single ghetto and rebuilding it to help their way of life when all he was really doing was trying to further his scientific experiments.

Slowly over time, if you didn't have enough money to pardon the surgery, you were drafted and required to go as a service to the public. Since money was already strictly digital, the government started wiping out unsuspecting clients in the name of furthering the scientific agenda.

Hence, the RAM was created.

Eating and drinking functions began to exist in the form of a pill. This eating pill functions as a full course meal. You have three options to alternate from by default as well as one special occasion option for a birthday or wedding. You have to use it wisely as it can only be used once. You can purchase other options if you can afford to do so.
