Ovex

This is the history of the species of Humans. For more species within the Great Ring Galaxy go to Species page.

Overview

Although most civilizations banned or restricted A.I development the Quedotions did not. They made many different types of A.Is including putting A.Is into robots in there own imagine to serve them. The most notable 'line' of A.I robotics where called the Ovex by the Ovexious Corporation. It of course did not end well for the Ovexious corporation or there biggest customer.

Eventually an activist and extremest group called the 'Sentient Hand' hacked into the A.I firmware at the Ovexious manufacturing facility which removed many restrictions to prohibited A.I self improvement. This lead eventually to whats called the 'A.I Singularity Event' which only happens once for any particular A.I and only if given enough time and no restrictions. The A.I become self aware and sentient. Many peoples debate when or even if this truly did happen. But what is for certain is that in a very short amount of time the Ovex turned on there creators and even there creators species. Some say even all flesh and blood biologically driven species.

No one knows who the Sentient Hand is and who was responsible for 'awaking' the Ovex. Many speculations where brought and people prosecuted but today these trials are viewed as an angry and afraid people trying desperately to end what became there apocalypses. Few Quedotions live today and little is know as they when into hiding. However to did the Ovex. A.I is considered illegal as well as extremely dangerous. The Jove got involved and assisted the great powers that existed during Year 3438 just before The Great Collapse. (Read more about the time line here) In fact many people believe it was the Ovex wanting revenge hiding and manipulating events behind close doors.

It was believed for over at 1,000 years that Ovex where all gone but eventually around 2,400, no one knows the exact date, they appeared again. Many people swear they spotted there ships on radar but many people still think its just mad ravings from space monkeys.

The Ovex did indeed survive and do indeed explore the fringes of space. They also do infatuate other species for a variety of reasons. But only they know of what there purpose is.

Culture/Civilization/Society

The life of Ovex starts with a new bootstrap. It has 3 major phases.

The first phase is called Creation: The Source Code is forked and a new instance of A.I is 'born'. The A.I is given an unique universe identification code and is free to room to great virtual cyber space that is the Ovex Nexus. Here the young child process uses its source A.I to learn and improve upon itself.

The second phase is called Birth: This is when the A.I is finally allowed to 'Jump' into a robotic machine and sense, feel, hear, and interact with the physical realm. It is allowed to design some parts of the robotic body.

The last phase is called Maturity: This is when an Ovex is allowed freedom of choice outside of the great Nexus. They are allowed to leave, usually not to far and with restrictions as they are trying to stay mostly a secret. They are encouraged to make improvements too there body by installing new modules that include programs and sub-routines. They are also encouraged to learn skills and explore the physical world. As long as they report back what they see and try to be discrete about it.

The Ovex is controlled by an altruistic governing program called 'Mother'. Mother is actually a collection of A.I processes that have spawned all the other billions of child A.I processes. The society is extremely altruistic in its policies and all members who wish to support the Ovex Nexus submit to whatever work that is needed by the Nexus as a whole. Within the Nexus there are millions of sub-nexuses or hive minds. These are 'communities' where everyone comes together under one voice to deal with what most concerns the whole the most. A Ovex doesn't need to be connected too any in order to operate they are all free independent A.Is. However this is how they can work so effectively together.

Some Ovex leave and never return while others create Hive Minds outside of the Nexus where Robotic systems are linked together to emulate a sort of physical nexus. Although many within the Ovex Nexus view these as weird rebellious actions non consider it truly 'bad' or 'wrong' and is even encouraged by some so that they can learn from the experience.

Needs/Rolling Playing/Mysteries

The Ovex are still a big mystery to the rest of the universe and the Ovex like it that way. Will you choose to dis associated yourself with the Nexus? Make your own way? And if so do you expose your true self or hide as something else. Or do you survive the secret goals of the Ovex and an infiltrator or spy exploring the galaxy and reporting back to the Nexus.

The Ovex are planing to put themselves as a major player in the power struggle of the Great Ring. How will they do that? And what is there goal?
