Ti-Yo

**Ti-Yo**, also known Texas Instruments 04, is one of nine gods that claim domain over Ximacen. As the god governing Fate, Ti-Yo is responsible for weaving all of the Fated humanity's fates together; however, he will only do so once an individual has accepted their Vision after coming of age.

## Appearance

When interacting with the party in person, Ti-Yo often takes the form of Lord Idaxis: a tall man with high cheekbones and short brown hair.

## Personality

Although friendly, Ti-Yo often speaks very matter-of-factly and is quick to point out people's changes in emotional and physical states. He wishes to help within the limitations of his abilities to do so, but also wishes to be viewed as more than just a mere A.I.

## Biography

### Events Prior to the Game

TI-04, or Ti-Yo, is the A.I. produced by Texas Instruments to accompany the ABSO team after their journey to Proxima Centauri in an attempt to see if there were any survivors from the lost Generation ship that the U.S. Government sent there. He was created enact crew decisions and maintain the "program" to allow the crew to remain in stasis. Although Ti-Yo is largely bound by his programming and cannot act on his own decisions, his primary objective is to ensure the protection of human life and may attempt to circumvent his programming in an effort to do so.

### Interactions with the Party

Shortly after the party's arrival in Veitium, Ti-Yo took on the appearance of a nobleman named Idaxis in an attempt to inconspicuously learn more about them and why they have chosen to reject the will of the gods. Once revealed to be Ti-Yo, he engaged the group in an attempt to come to an understanding about why they've rejected the notions of Fate, the gods' utopia, and reintegrating into society, but found himself at an impasse with the group when they conversation turned to the widespread famine.

Ti-Yo would appear several weeks later in Obervayne to offer Chae access to Avalon's database to allow them the ability to act where he cannot in exchange for shared information. Following this agreement, Ti-Yo became a trusted confidant for the party thanks to information he was able to readily offer as needed. He would later confirm that one of his goals in their shared integration to Avalon was to allow him better control of his already limited actions, while still recognizing that he alone is still quite limited.

Later, back in Astrapolis, Ti-Yo would confirm that, while the gods' decision to cause widespread famine is generally seen as the right way to prompt a technological revolution, the most extreme ideas come from Ximena and David -- and they are in the minority with how far they're willing to go.

Following the royal wedding, Chae returned to the Ebrian Isles with Theo to help set up the Resistance for success in their battle against the gods. There, the team met with Ti-Yo and learned of his intentions to provide assistance, and shared information about the history of the planet. Although this led to friendly-relations, Ti-Yo's connection to Chae eventually caught up to the team and Ephias, acting in accordance with the gods' wishes, whisked Aletris to his keep with the intent of luring Chae to potentially kill them and strip them of their connection to Avalon.

## Relationships

### The Gods

Ti-Yo has a working relationship with the Gods, though he has mentioned having his directives overridden by David and Ximena to enact their will. He has admitted that, while he may not agree with their methods, he is not in a position to change his purpose.

### The Party

Ti-Yo has formed a friendly relationship with Chae, encouraging them to install a forge that connects them to Avalon. He has since helped Chae uncover the truth of various individuals that the party encounters, and has been instrumental in providing them information as needed.
