'''Old-Style NPC Bodies

NPC Bodies have existed since DT was first virtualized and they were originally created by the Three Sages who managed that virtualization process.

The NPC Bodies created as an experiment during DT’s initial phase no longer exist in the current year of 2000.

They were linked to the initial DT OS, so when Archon Suedomsa completed the mass-produced NPC Bodies, they were all saved to the intermediary layer and made to work as a portion of the OS.

The NPC Bodies created by Archon Suedomsa are divided into the following types.

*Michael Class

Originally a PC Body designed for Words Warn patients, this type can be remote controlled by Mind Lives alone.

The sensory programs directly send the received information to the user’s Mind Lives, but this requires heavy finetuning at the time of creation and is highly inefficient in its use of heat energy, so it was never mass-produced for use as a PC Body.

But the direct link to the Mind Lives means it can converse rapidly through windows and can easily Load the Mind Lives, so it was used by Words Warn patients who requested one at the time.

Its Word Race cannot be changed, so it is restricted to the Word Race it is initially given.

*Gabriel Class

The NPC Body on which all image-related Word Races are based. Originally a female model.

Was given an expansion slot upon creation intended for use with audio Word Races.

It can change Word Races and it is designed to rapidly and precisely output a large amount of data of the type that matches its current Word Race.

*Raphael Class

The NPC Body on which the Sys Word Race is based.

The Bat and Dll Word Races were derived from it as well.

It can be nondescript since it registers as null when its Word Race features are not active, but its influence on the surrounding space is much higher than others when the features of the Sys Word Race are active.

*Uriel Class

Originally an experimental NPC Body. Meant to create Body data in all the languages running on the DT OS and investigate their benchmarks, but due to its standardized foundation, it can actually change its foundational language by switching Word Races.

Most well known for the Bas, C, Asb, and X Word Races.


These NPC Bodies were all originally meant as experiments for future medical PC Bodies, so they were meant to meet human needs, such as being general-use and possessing their own individual memories. On the security front, their personal data was locked down and all but the Michael-class are unable to hide their thoughts.

The flaw of these old-style NPC Bodies was their poor fuel efficiency.

That was why, after the failure of the 2nd Godtact Experiment, when the creation of many more NPC Bodies was needed to create the DT we know now, production of this type was ceased to avoid applying too much pressure on DT’s heat consumption. The new-style NPC Bodies are mass produced nowadays.

The modern NPC bodies use a shared memory and have standardized traits, but they still have some human aspects like displaying their thoughts in windows. That way they can still be used as Bodies for Words Warn patients.
