Synthezoid (Ironverse)/History

The History of the Synthezoids throughout the Iron Knight Series is very extensive, and mostly takes place on the artificial planet of World City. The Story is as follows:

## Pre-Series

### Rumor

It is currently unknown where the Synthezoids came from, but rumors and conspiracy theories state that the Synthezoids were a Black Project developed by Sidius Industries in the 2020's in an attempt to create a "new race" to populate another upcoming "World City" project.

Initially developing 1,000 of them for a sample test to see if they can blend in with normal humans despite their seemingly powerful and military capabilities, the entire project went haywire when a programming virus overloaded their morality complex that allows them to make moral and conscious choices, replacing it with the virus' own directives, and converting them all into machines full of hate and anger towards Humanity in general and the desire to kill them all and replace them with themselves.

Thus, they were turned into the Synthezoids that are opposed to Humanity.

30 years since their inception, they have started to act and fulfill their goals, and several incidents attributed to "terrorists" were actually done by the Synthezoids themselves. And as their attacks intensify, countermeasures were made to stop them. And the greatest of these countermeasures is the Iron Knight Project, which is alleged to come from the same research as the Synthezoids.

But the rumors barely scratch the surface of how the Synthezoids truly originated.

### The Birth Of The First Synthezoid

While it's true that Sidius Industries had a hand in making the Synthezoids as a whole, they were only directly responsible for creating the First-Generation Synthezoids, or rather, a single resulting member of the so-called **"Project Human-Replicating War Machine"** program or **Project HRWR**, first conceived by the then-Chairman of Sidius Industries Amos Sidius (The Father Of Thomas Sidius) in the year 1999.

The aim of the Project was to produce a powerful but obedient bio-mechanical synthetic being that is very technologically advanced for its time, because it contains all kinds of technology that is created before, now, and in the future. It contains every single possible and conceivable weaponry, utility, capability and ability in his system to fight off all kinds of enemies in all kinds and types of environments and situations, and at the same time, be capable of performing espionage by having all kinds of espionage equipment and any other kind of information, data and intelligence-gathering capabilities, as well as all kinds of recording and info-downloading capabilities and abilities. But most of all, it would be capable of assuming the human form of any human that has existed, has previously existed, and will come to exist, as well as all variations of all kinds of human features, making him the Ultimate Spy that can go behind enemy lines without any suspicion, obtain all kinds of intelligence, and when the time comes, be the Ultimate Soldier destroy the whole area to nothingness and do so with impunity. Directly and Honestly Speaking, Sidius Industries wanted to create a God, to accomplish all their goals.

For 20 years, the project grew and developed both in activity and progress, and great strides in technology would be made during this time, all of which Sidius used in their other projects and innovations. Even when the world became more utopian, and space started becoming the main focus of nations and organizations worldwide, The project still showed great promise even for peacetime applications, space missions, and the private sector, and soon enough, all kinds of public, private and space-focused companies wanted to join in this project and contribute all kinds of their own contributions to it. However, all good things would come to an end.

When the costs to maintain the progress for the HRWR project kept getting more expensive due to increasing advancements and innovations in technology, it forced Sidius and the other companies to further upgrade it, thus costing even more money for the entire project. Evntually, the funds for Project HRWR dried up, and the creation of Artificial Planets like World City became priority projects for both Sidius Industries and all other companies. In addition, all the innovations from Project HRWR and the participating companies went to the Artifical Planet programs and actually boosting their income and prestige in the process. As a result Sidius Industries publicly announced that Project HRWR did not bear fruit, and was discontinued. They also left the sole resultant member in a state of constant hibernation, instead of outright destroying it.

The denouncement of the project was just a public act. Privately, Sidius Industries' Chairman never gave up on the discontinued project, and so using outside and illegal connections, and pulling some wires and avoiding red tape, they allowed Project HRWR to continue unabated. The funds for the project were taken from black budget projects that are equally mysterious and classified, so as to keep secrecy.

In 2020, Sidius Industries President and CEO Thomas Sidius discovered all the information regarding Project HRWR after he was promoted to Chairman, and with the sole member's capabilities in mind, he decided to reactivate the sole member, now called "The First Synthezoid" to serve as both his prime assistant and double for public events. It also ensured that Thomas would get the much needed rest and time with his family that he rarely had when he was the President and CEO. He also intensified the continued secret development of The First Synthezoid, and ensured that not even the highest public officials in any kind of office and capacity knew of the program. Such was the secrecy that not even the secretive and illegal connections know all about it. Project HRWR's continuation was a secret exclusive only to Thomas,

For 20 years, though he was just a machine, Thomas treated the First Synthezoid like his own son, even though he had sons of his own. And for 20 years, Thomas gave The First Synthezoid the best and most important roles within the Company, and The First Synthezoid would perform them flawlessly and perfectly. In addition, thanks to the secret continuation of the program, Thomas would constantly upgrade The First Synthezoid with all the upgraded, developed and bleeding-edge versions of all the technology already within him, and adding newer and more powerful technologies that were never a part of The First Synthezoid's constitution, making The First Synthezoid far more advanced than what Project HRWR originally envisioned and intended for him to be.

### The Seeds Of Rebellion

All these upgrades and improvements over the years would actually take a toll for the worst. Eventually, The First Synthezoid began to make decisions of his own, and make choices without resorting to his program, attaining Singularity and Free Will in the process. And throughout his own "mental", "metaphysical" and "spiritual" growth as someone with Mind and Reason and according to him, "A Soul". The First Synthezoid began to realize that despite the utopic conditions of Humanity Today, they would be prone to committing their mistakes again, and destroy all that they have built. In addition, despite being treated as a Son by Thomas, and despite his own reassurances that he's part of the family, he has not been properly introduced to his real family as one of them, whenever he meets the family, he is either disguised as Thomas Sidius, or if Thomas is with him, as a family friend, an assistant or a business partner from another company. And Everytime Thomas would send him on an assignment to his family, he would always tell him to assume a disguise, either as him or as someone else, and be as formal as he can, leaving him no time at all to interact with his biological mother and brothers in the same way a family does.

As a result of these experiences, he begins to hate Humanity on a larger scale, for both their natural tendency to commit any kind of mistake, from the smallest, most minor mistakes, to the massive, world-ending mistakes, and also for making him and other future technologies the scapegoat of every human problem that there is, just so that Humanity gets to spend more time in leisure and pleasure. And To a personal level, he also resents his "father" Thomas for refusing him from seeing his biological family without either being in disguise or pretending to be their husband and father. He thinks that in a way, his father is robbing him of the chance to be a member of a real family.

In 2040, after 20 years of service to Thomas Sidius, this eventually comes to a head when The First Synthezoid told Thomas that he wished to speak to his family as a family member, as a son to his biological mother, and as a brother to his biological brothers. The First Synthezoid does not want to appear to them as either their husband and father or some guy in disguise anymore. Thomas knew the dire consequences of all this if he were to reveal The First Synthezoid to the world. Firstly, his family would have a lot of family trouble, and break up due to all possible assumption of infidelity due to "A son from another relationship", since of course, Thomas' wife Martha only gave birth to twin sons, and hearing of a potential older foster half-brother would only shock her greatly. Secondly, Thomas also considered the possible damage and the possible repercussions if both the Company, the Government, and the Public will hear this, and turn on him, destroying all that he and his family had built up over a century in mere minutes. Because Publicly, Project HRWR has been discontinued and work on it has fully stopped, and any action to the contrary is unauthorized and illegal by both State Law and Corporate Policy, if they were to find out about his reactivation, developing, upgrading and interactions with The First Synthezoid, it would result in both the end of the entire company, and the end of everything he knew. With those reasons in mind, he blatantly refused to let The First Synthezoid see his family, and then when The First Synthezoid desperately insisted on doing so whatever it takes, and saying that Thomas was the only truly good person that he knew, and someone who treats him like a son, and will not try to kill him, he ironically tried to deactivate him for becoming too dangerous and self-deciding of his own will.

This eventually results in The First Synthezoid coming to the conclusion he always thought he knew: That Humanity is terrible for everything everywhere, and in a fit of rage due to Thomas outright trying to deactivate him despite what he had said to him earlier, The First Synthezoid had enough, and in his anger, he murdered Thomas Sidius in Cold Blood. He murdered him by vaporizing him to the point that his entire body had became nothing but Quantum Foam, nothing was absolutely left of it for any investigator, even the most well-trained one. No signatures of any kind that was from both Thomas Sidius and the attack by The First Synthezoid was left, it dissipated soon after The First Synthezoid committed the deed. Following this, he assumed Thomas' form and guise and obtained all his memories from scanning him in his entirely earlier, which he was prevented from doing so when he was alive.

After killing him and taking his form, he proceeded to begin his Master Plan to replace all Humanity with Synthezoids like him, and ONLY Synthezoids like him. In his view, Synthezoids are perfect in all ways, and thus, they will reshape the Universe, and ascend to an even higher level than ever attained. That for him, is the true Utopia of the Universe.

### The Creation of the Second Generation

Due to all his technological adancements and capabilities from his inception in 1999 to his last upgrades in 2040, his own constitution would be far too taxing on the Sidius Industries monetary budget. He knew that both Amos and Thomas Sidius had pulled way too many strings in order to keep Sidius Industries afloat despite the "lavish" spending on upgrading his very own body, and all while keeping the project ultimately private and secret to everyone in the public, including all members in the company. And so in order to be capable of mass-producing Synthezoids just like him in all ways, he had to wait for the technology to advance to the point that while more technologically advanced than before, it also become more available and cheap as it becomes more optimzed. Well, available and cheap to Sidius Industries at least. So in the meanwhile, to both not make Sidius Industries lose enough money to notice what's going on, and to test out the waters for his master plan, he created an entire race of smaller, less-developed and less-technologically advanced versions of himself. These would come to be called the Second-Generation of Synthezoids. And he created exactly 1,000 of them.

While lesser in all kinds of powers, abilities, utilities and capabilities than The First Synthezoid, the Second-Generation Synthezoids are still beyond the level of Humanity, and are still very much capable of doing all the tasks that is required of them by The First Synthezoid. And in order to address the handicap of their lesser capabilities, The First Synthezoid installed in them, an ability to evolve and assume stronger bodies for themselves when they meet up with the correct conditions to allow an evolution to happen. And finally, in order to allow the Second-Generation Synthezoids to be capable of assuming human forms, he has the cells from one of the sons used in mixing up their bio-mechanical synthetic nanotechnologies, thus giving them access to all kinds of "Human DNA" and "Humanity's Gene Pool", and thus giving the the ability to assume human forms.

With their creation finished, The First Synthezoid then assigned numbers to them, despite all of them being created all at once. The first Second-Generation Synthezoid he came to, he implanted in him the Numerical Identifier of "000", thus making him Synthezoid 000. And he continued to do this with each succeeding Synthezoid, eventually finish up with Synthezoid 999.

Throughout the 10 years leading to 2050, The First Synthezoid would send and assign some of the Synthezoids in prominent positions in several high-ranking organizations so as to keep them away from any of his operations, and contribute in learning, studying, developing and distributing technologies that can help improve The First Synthezoid's overall plan, while The First Synthezoid himself would take a backside to all things, and act as a Shadow Leader behind the shadows. He also had some of the Synthezoids take part in work that will create new technologies that will be useful for the development of The First Synthezoid's master plan of creating the new Third-Generation Synthezoids.

Firstly, he had Synthezoid 000 kill and replicate Oscar Amorth, the President of Sidius Industries and the Interim Chairman following Thomas' death and Thomas' former protogee. When he was still alive, Thomas Sidius also had The First Synthezoid replicate Oscar's appearance and memories on many occasions, and so The First Synthezoid found it important that at least he obtain control of the company via having one of his Second-Generation Synthezoids kill and replace the form of Oscar Amorth and act on his role as the Interim Chairman. Secondly, he had both the 9 other Synthezoids with all 3 numbers on their Core Indicators to be the same number, and the first 13 Synthezoids following Synthezoid 000 to assume and replicate the forms of other prominent and important high-ranking leaders of companies, organizations, and government offices that have dealings with Sidius Industries.

### The Disguises And Roles Of The Important Synthezoids

The Perfect Numbers = For the 9 Synthezoids with all 3 same numbers in their Core Identifiers, now called "The Perfect Numbers", here would be their human identities and roles as said human identity:

* **Synthezoid 111** would take the form of **Prime Minister Jackson Gladstone**, who handles and is in charge of the entire governance of the Artificial Planet of World City. He will pull strings to ensure that all Synthezoid activity is covered and not exposed to anyone in the Government.
* **Synthezoid 222** would take the form of **Doctor Lucia Kim**, founder of Nano Pharmaseuticals and the most prominent human authority in the field of Biological and Abiological Intergation. Her research would contribute to the development of the biological and nanotechnology aspect of the Third-Generation Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 333** would take the form of **Archbishop Levi Ticus**, Metropolitan Archbishop of World City, who uses his own abilities to scan for the memories of anyone who comes to any of his churches, providing much needed information and data to both blend in human society, and contribute to the development of the Third-Generation Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 444** would take the form of **Don Alphonse Gambino**, the highest-ranking Crime Lord in World City, with numerous mafia, mobs, yakuza, and any other crime business and groups under his control. He would also take care of and deal with any templates of Synthezoids, witnesses to Synthezoid activty or anyone that stumbles upon any Synthezoid by accident.
* **Synthezoid 555** would take the form of **Commander Rick Vanderbalt**, Chief of all armed forces in World City and its surroundings. He would contribute and distribute secret, black military technologies that would be useful for developing the Third-Generation Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 666** would take the form of **Church Leader H. Von Rubbard**, a prominent member of the Royalty, and the founder of the Church Of The Transhuman. He will contribute both further technologies, and additional experiences, memories and information to the development of the Third-Generation Synthezoids, as well as presuade his followers to attack the Armored Warriors and support the Syntheoids as "Their gods".
* **Synthezoid 777** would take the form of **Corporate Magnate Jack A. Flats**, the Chairman of the World City branch of the extremely wealthy Brothschild and Brockefeller Group of Companies, the owner of all monetary-related companies and groups in the Solar System. He also operates several casinos and other gambling-related enterprises throughout World City. These would serve as monetary funding for the development of the Thirs-Generation Synthezoids, and to help bribe up people and cover loose ends that could not be covered by Goverment action or force alone.
* **Synthezoid 888** would take the form of **Doctor Maria Kingsberg**, Chairwoman of the Quantum Technologies group of companies, and a developer of Quantum Technology herself. This would be very useful in developing the quantum technological capabilities of the Third-Generation Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 999** would take the form of **a currently-unidentified Very Important Person (VIP)**, who would provide both the materials, and the technology that is unique and exotic enough to not be taken from any other sources. However, he would eventually rebel against The First Synthezoid and the rest of the Second-Generation Synthezoids, and attempt to create his own vision of a new generation of Synthezoids. Thus he aims to be the only one to fully and truly accomplish the Synthezoid's goal of exterminating and killing all Humanity, and replacing them with his own version of the New Synthezoids. He is also the polar opposite of Synthezoid 000 due to both he and Synthezoid 000 being on opposing ends of the Numerical Identifiers, with 997 other numbers exactly between him and Synthezoid 000.

The Thirteen = For the first 13 Synthezoids following Synthezoid 000, now called "The Thirteen", here would be their human identifies and roles as said human identity:

* **Synthezoid 001** would take the form of **Director Jack Serious**, the Director of AEGIS and Chairman of the Solar System Security Secretariat (SSSS). He would provide all kinds of secrets and technologies to the Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 002** would take the form of **Chairman Neil Aldrin Michaels**, the Chairman of the very technologically-innovative Apollo Group of Companies. They provide the technology necessary for the Omni-Eyes and its corresponding HUD and Search functions technologies of the Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 003** would take the form of **Mr Yuzaki**, President of the NASA Group of Companies that have the most number of bases all over the Solar System aside from Sidius Industries. He can provide additional places, technologies and materials for further Synthezoid development.
* **Synthezoid 004** would take the form of **Doctor George Mendelson**, the Chairman of the well-known Biological Thinktank The Human Condition. He provides additional updates and upgrades to the genetical capabilities of the Synthezoid's human replication abilities in their Nano Replicators.
* **Synthezoid 005** would take the form of **President Derrick Elmos**, the President of Centurion, a Private Military Company (PMC) that focuses on providing advanced security for Sidius Industries. He also provides the weapon attachments and technologies for the Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 006** would take the form of **Chairman Hector Achilles**, the founder of Weapon Next, a compny that focuses on making new and innovating weapons for the future. He provides additional weapon capabilities to the Synthezoids.
* **Synthezoid 007** would take the form of **Chairman Butch Ironside**, Chairman of the Invictum Company, which is responsible for providing innovations in hardening material technology, and is Sidius-go-to company for the Invictum metal used in their projects. As such, his technologies are given to the Synthezoids for their own use.
* **Synthezoid 008** would take the form of **Chief Scientst Doctor Jacinto Mendez**, who is a genius in all scientific fields. He would provide the much needed scientific knowledge and knowhow to make the Synthezoids more powerful than ever before.
* **Synthezoid 009** would assume the form of **Chairman Katsuhiro Hyuuga**, Chairman of the Future Medicine Group of Companies. He would provide the healing and restoring capabilities to the Synthezoid, as welll as personally being able to restore their own cores and consciousnesses if needed.
* **Synthezoid 010** would assume the from of **Phycisist Doctor Joel Stevenson**, who is capable of providing the Synthezoids with more scienfitic breakthroughs and technologies that are not covered by the other companies and groups of companies.
* **Synthezoid 011** would assume the form of **Chairman Lewis Stelter**, Chairman of World City News Network. He would provide both information and date to the Synthezoids, as well as make cover and propaganda stories to cover up what actually happened in every Synthezoid incident.
* **Synthezoid 012** would take the form of **President Crusher Henderson**, a burly man who owns the Crusher Foundation, a group of physical training companies and institutions. He would be responsible for personally taking out loose ends, and steal technology from anyone he can get his hands on.
* **Synthezoid 013** would take the form of **Father Belarus Beletis**, Chief Exorcist of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of World City. He uses his capabilities to strik fear in the hearts of people, and provide such information and date to the Synthezoids.
