Evangeline has never had any doubt to who she is. Her home is the Facility- she's heard about the sun and sky, but never seen them, though she doesn't want to. She has no family. Evangeline doesn't even know her age.
But these are explainable to her- Evangeline is a Cyborg, created by Them to bring order to the dying world. They run constant tests on her to improve her physique, nothing out of the ordinary at all.
Except it is. Because one day, during a normal test, Evangeline overworks her circuits and burns herself out.
She should have died that day.
But she did not.
Because Evangeline is not a robot after all.
In fact, none of them are.

Next Generation Arsenal
In a fractured universe stitched together by broken code, forgotten timelines, and unstable energies, war is no longer fought by mortals-but by anomalies. "This story began with one question: What if deletion was more dangerous than death? 'Next Generation Arsenal' explores what happens when systems glitch, stories collapse, and broken characters refuse to be erased." At the heart of the chaos is Access Denied, a cryptic and sarcastic drifter of unknown origin who wields forbidden commands and eats pastries in the middle of world-ending battles. After narrowly surviving erasure by the devastating force known as Content Deleted, Access Denied is thrown into a mysterious new realm-where corrupted gods and collapsing plotlines are just another Tuesday. He's soon caught in the growing conflict between the rising ACT Faction (Anti Chaotic Taskforce) and the oppressive CT Faction led by Karma, a literal god of chaos whose every word rewrites reality. Karma's son, Kaosu, rules entire regions through sheer existential pressure-collapsing minds and buildings alike just by showing up. But when a mysterious girl named Yamiya Mieko, rumored to be the last remnant of a deleted dimension, joins the ACT, the game changes. She may be tied to Dark Logical Energy-a force so unknown that even the gods speak of it in whispers. Meanwhile, Null Energy, a mythical force that deletes not just matter but the reason it existed, looms as an untapped threat no one truly controls. As factions form and battle across corrupted realms, timelines, and moons, reality itself begins to fray. To stop the ultimate deletion of existence, Access Denied, Kaosu, Yamiya, and the elusive tactician Aoikishi must hunt for ancient Glitched Artifacts, unlock forbidden power, and decode the truth behind the Terminal-a system root capable of granting admin access over the universe itself.
Damaged
Skye was just an ordinary human. One with an unfortunate life. Her mother was killed in an armed robbery when she was barely a year old. Her father turned to alcohol and smoking to hide his pain. As the years went he began to abuse her and was eventually murdered as well by a burgler. She was sent to Wammy's House. As the only girl there, it was hard for her but she made a few friends and was very close with another boy. She stood out easily because of her white hair and small figure but it was mostly her eyes. She wasn't born with her white hair, it turned white from the torture and stress her father put her through. Her eyes were different. She was born with large, blood red eyes. Of course no one knew that she hadn't been born with white hair, not even the boy she was basically dating, except a boy little older than her named Lawliet. He was like a brother to her. Lawliet was given a caretaker named Watari and Skye, one named Yamato. She lived her life as normal as she could and climbed the ranks as a detective; even surpassing L, though she didn't know who he actually was. As it's well knows, shinigami liked to gamble to entertain themselves. The king himself gambled his own life and power on her and a few years before she went into Wammy's. The king bet his that she wouldn't risk her life to save a stranger and used his death note to put her in a situation that she could save a child's life by risking her own or continue walking and not give them a second glance. She saved the child and gained his death note, the shinigami eyes, healing and self-healing, the power to bring back to dead, and knowing whenever someone has been killed using a death note. She had not to try draw attention to herself, since others couldn't see the shinigami she talked to. As the shinigami queen it was hard to be normal. She traveled for cases and decided to dye her hair inky purple when she was in America. She returned to Japan to go to school and observe the Kira case.Complete
