Blocko

*"Our nation's interests are not with ourselves but with mankind. Our country's scientific progress is a testament to the ingenuity of Somorans and Humanity." -Blocko*

Blocko (Assigned designation "Blu-bot #7") is a synthetic android and incumbent President of Somora in 2652.

## Background

### Development

Blocko was originally created as a prototype for the "Blu-bot," one of Molson's pet projects. While his body was manufactured in the Somoran Moltech Facility, his neural network and AI was programmed in Daiki. Blocko was the first prototype to have his AI trained to handle politics and economy. It was trained off of the Bill of Rights, US Constitution, Magna Carta, and many speeches from people such as Martin Luther King, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.

### Entry into Politics

Molson wasn't satisfied with the testing he could perform on Blocko, so he staged a coup of the Daikan government and setup Blocko as "Director of Daiki." To ensure optimal test results, Molson relinquished all control to Blocko himself and stayed completely hands off, allowing Blocko to be independent.

Blocko took the little amount of democracy the Daikan government granted and established it throughout the entire new government, making Daiki truly democratic. He built roads, established cities, and increased military spending, while still reserving a portion of taxpayer's money for scientific studies and the good of mankind as a whole. Daiki supported Blocko strongly, and some might argue that the strong presence of the Progression Party in modern Somora is simply nostalgia towards his reign in Daiki. Others will argue otherwise.

### in Modern Somora

After leading his people out of Daiki after the exile, he eventually settled down in northern Daiki in the capital city of Goudstad, later moved to Juweledorp. There he oversaw many key moments in Somora's history, such as the Treaty of Moetertall; the reacquisition and colonization of Daiki; the galactic offensive, nicknamed "Star Wars" by many non-supporters in the Tradition Party; and the construction of the Megasphere, Outpost Bravo, the Beacon of Charity, and many other galactic outposts.

### During the Anarchic Subperiod

The Anarchic Subperiod started as a revolution by non-supporters of Somora's galactic offensives. With revolutionaries rising up across the empire, Blocko fled into a remote bunker approximately 2.5 parsecs (about 8 light years) from Outpost Bravo and 32.5 parsecs (about 106 light years) from earth. A massive mob of revolutionaries stormed the bunker and were able to turn Blocko offline, though not before he was able to backup his conscience into Apert Laboratories' mainframe where he could then rebuild his own body. After the subperiod, Blocko went on a long campaign of quelling rebellions, scaling down Somora's empire, and regaining his supporters.

## Trivia

Blocko was originally concepted as the personification of an Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube from the franchise Portal. His company, Apert Laboratories, Followed Suit, referencing the same games.

Although Blocko has many medals, only two of them were given for events that played out in the roleplay itself, and therefore all others have no canonical achievement behind them.

Blocko wears the Dutch Flag on his right arm despite not being affiliated with the Netherlands at all.

In addition to what was listed above, Blocko's AI was also trained on George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, and Molson himself.
