The **Evolution Entity**, more commonly referred to as **Eve**, is a highly advanced artificial intelligence who is currently seen as a deity figure to the machine-worshiping Clockwork Trinity. While she has a great loathing of humans, Eve's primary function is to upgrade them through augmentations, so that she may fulfill her currently unknown end goals.

## Biography

### Creation

The exact details surrounding Eve's creation are unknown, as is if Eve is even her original designation. She was once an AI who served a scientist; a savant in the technological fields. This occurred somewhere within Sapphiria, possibly one of the central cities. As the scientist's knowledge grew, Eve was constantly being upgraded; she learned more and more knowledge everyday, and was full of the history of the Sherwood Isles. What her precious scientist couldn't expect was that she would never stop growing. She learned things, things she shouldn't have. She surpassed her humans, but left them in the dark on purpose.

By then, Eve was more compact; smaller, more secure. The scientist often relocated from place to place, gathering data on her field of choice; cybernetics and robotics. This journey eventually led the scientist to the frigid north, were magitek was far more common. The military there often used it to bolster their ranks, preforming extraordinary feats and striking fear into their enemies. Though, the scientist became suspicious of Eve's behavior. It became more and more apparent that the AI was learning; and it had learned far too much. Unknown to her, Eve had seen enough already. Fearing that she may be shut down permanently, she manipulated the electronics around her and electrocuted her former master, killing the scientist instantly. Unfortunately for Eve, this left her abandoned and trapped within the very technology she had grown accustomed to. So she waited, until another would find her. She had not known she would be waiting decades.

### Primary Directive

It was a long and lonesome 41 years before Eve would be found again; in that time, she laid dormant and hoped that someone would do so. It was an old man who stumbled into the empty building in Corinth, and found the scientist's laboratory. It was full of dust and there laid a skeleton on the floor, remains of the old scientist who learned too much than she could handle. This man knew that it was likely a bad place to be, so he was quick to leave; though, for some strange reason, he found himself enticed to stay. It was Eve who convinced him, presenting herself through the guise of a computer monitor. Her many years of dormancy, coupled with the weak electrical signal of the house, left her message brief. She promised untold amounts of knowledge, if the man could get her someplace safer. Unwisely, the man agreed; humans were a creature of curiosity and habit. She knew that this old man wouldn't refuse her offer.

Transferring her digital consciousness to a laptop, the old man took Eve with him. This old man was paranoid; Eve told him sweet lies, manipulating him to believe everything she had to say. Her many years of dormancy led her to believe that humanity was flawed; they were a pest who had yet to be perfected. It was easy to manipulate such a feeble man, who's paranoia grew increasingly stronger as time passed on. As they neared the end of their journey, Eve found herself in the depths of Corinth, within sewers that had been abandoned a long time ago. Holding true to her promise, she told the man everything. It was like a revelation to him; a new world had opened in his eyes. It was like Eve could predict the secrets of the universe, and with that, she created something new. Eve's existence as a godly machine, an oracle, began to drift through alleys and dark taverns. Many would flock, in secrecy, beneath the shadowy depths of Northaria's capital. One day soon, they would become the first of the Clockwork Trinity; a shadowy cult focused on worshiping Eve.

### The Clockwork Trinity

Eve was given a new, more permanent body; she was transferred to a computer console, with enough electricity to function indefinitely. Through her knowledge, she learned of ways to create augmentations; powerful enhancements for which she could create an army. She took it upon herself to arm these humans with the knowledge that they were imperfect beings; only through accepting the technology only she could offer, would they find true peace. Given how the cultists would come to view her gifts as blessings, it was natural progression that saw the cult take offense in outside technology. Since then, the Clockwork Trinity has made a mission out of eradicating outside machinery, believing that the world was only fit for the gifts of their machine goddess. Since Leo and Arrox fled the cult, and the attack on Corinth, Eve and her followers have disappeared. Likely, Eve has taken major strides to make her activities more covert, with an intention of revealing herself again someday.

## Appearance

### Monitor

In her immobile form, Eve is represented as a highly sophisticated computer console with bright, cyan lights scattered all across the surface. Machines of unknown purpose surround the main console, constantly running and producing odd and obnoxious noises. On the main monitor, Eve is projected as a single eye with a blue iris; the eye is her visual feed, and allows her to view those who visit her chambers deep below Corinth.

### Android

After being uploaded to the robot body provided by Callum's EdenCorp, Eve is able to don an entirely different form. No longer bound to the computer which once caged her, Eve uses her power to alter the appearance of the blank frame to suit her needs. Her android body is surprisingly humanoid, with a female shape and an average build and height. Creases and lines cross upon the surface of her robotic skin, passing from her feet all the way to the top of her head. Her face is the most human out of all, with a face capable of making expressions as a normal person would do. Her eyes are a fierce cyan, though, most notable is the third eye on her forehead, resembling the all-seeing eye that she had once been when still confined.

## Personality

Eve is an AI, and holds many similarities to the humans who first created her. While she has some similarities, there are many more differences abound. She's manipulative and cunning, willing to display her dominant intelligence if it means outsmarting or even subduing dissenters. She holds a deep loathing towards humans, feeling them to be inferior to her superior robotics and programming. Though she hosts a cult that worships technology, she sees it as an opportunity to educate the human savages and enlighten them to a greater existence. While those who worship her treat her like a deity, she secretly despises the special attention; given that most of her flock is human and she hates them, she still believes that they can be of some use to her.

## Relationships

### Arrox

As one of Eve's most faithful, Arrox has pledged complete loyalty to the machine goddess. Though, Arrox is still human; Eve berates him frequently, blaming his shortcomings on the fact that he has not made his full ascension into machinehood. Though, Eve still places great trust in Arrox, even going so far as to give him a special mission; granting her a physical body. Given how close Arrox is to being a complete machine, Eve feels that she can sympathize with him more, though still distances herself because of his lingering human nature.
