plotamariatori...yup, more for RP. :D; This may be one of my best, yet crackiest, ideas yet.
Name: Callida (カリーダ)
Age: Unknown (appears 11-12)
Class: Stage V sentient AI
Hair: Silvery-white
Eyes: Usually closed; bright blue when open
Appears: Λ Wise Maiden's Oracle (accessible only from the Gold Chaos Gate at Restored City Carmina Gadelica)
Callida, an information and support AI created from the base code of Aura herself, takes the form of a small sightless girl in a loose, flowing dress made of some iridescent material, with a silver clasp on the front that resembles an infinity symbol, and usually appears sitting in a plain wooden chair. Her "home", the Temple of Prophecies located at Λ Wise Maiden's Oracle, is only accessible from the Gold Chaos Gate on the newly-rebuilt Lambda server, and is a popular place for both new players and old who have any questions whatsoever about the game. She is capable of helping on any quest and giving any information, though somewhat recently she has displayed a surprising insight into things never programmed into her knowledge base, showing that she - like the other AIs - has the potential to grow much farther than the limits of her programming would suggest. Tsukasa often goes to her for advice, as she is the only truly unbiased and non-judgmental being in The World, and can often be found telling her stories about areas outside the Temple in return for her advice, suggesting she is unable to leave the Temple for whatever reason.
Name: Giotto (ジオット)
Age: Unknown (appears 15-16)
Class: Stage V sentient AI
Hair: Very pale blonde, almost white
Eyes: Pinkish-grey
Appears: Λ Wise Maiden's Oracle (accessible only from the Gold Chaos Gate at Restored City Carmina Gadelica), various field/dungeon areas
The younger brother of Callida, though in fact he appears several years older, Giotto serves as her guardian and translator, the latter feature implemented to clear up some of Callida's often-confusing prophecies and hints. He has a strangely elfin appearance, being the first (and currently only) member of a new NPC race extremely skilled in the use of symbology; it's said that his design was based very heavily off the PC Eldarian race, though with enough differing aspects that he could never be mistaken for an Eldarian. Unlike Callida, he is able to leave the Temple of Prophecies, and shows an insatiable thirst for new knowledge about the world, often appearing within quests just to observe the players and see how they interact with their surroundings and the challenges set for them. In contrast to Callida's simple and plain clothing, he wears an outfit made of some heavy, dark green material inscribed with glowing blue and green lines, and a long single-shouldered cloak of the same material with a complex pattern of white runes spanning its length.
Server: Λ (Lambda)
Title: Restored City
Town: Carmina Gadelica
Level range: Any
Though stated in the backstory of The World R:2 as having been destroyed in the War of the Gods, Carmina Gadelica has recently been returned to existence, rebuilt as a playground for the sentient AIs and to house the Temple of Prophecies, where all players can go to get in-game help from the AI Callida. Unlike its R:1 counterpart, the town is no longer a bustling nighttime metropolis; instead, it is a sprawling grassy area dotted with crumbling stone structures that house various item shops, and ends in an inaccessible bridge which rises so far into the sky that its end cannot be seen. The airships from R:1, however, can still be seen drifting through the peaceful evening sky on bursts of steam, though as in R:1, they cannot be ridden by players. There are initially no field or dungeon areas accessible from this server, but if a player has obtained an Aura Key and uses it at the Chaos Gate, they can then input area words to create an area suited to their level. Therefore, Carmina Gadelica serves not only as a center of trade and rare item shops, but can also be helpful to players in other ways as well if they show the proper levels of potential.
