Who's Raymond, again? And what's Livastia?

Yeah because you're totally asking that I can just tell ok - hi, I'm Raymond! Artist, worldbuilder, and writer of the Livastia universe, crocheter of infinite WIP projects, hobbyist mountain biker and diverse public transit supporter, and hyperfixator of random funny fictional guys (right now it's Barnaby from Billie Bust Up)

I "formally" began Livastia back in November 2017, when I was 15 and I just started having a particular fixation on robots - why? Idk fuckin beats me. I've always been somewhat enthralled by the concept of 'sapient vehicles,' as is my choice wording, probably getting started by franchises like The Magic Schoolbus, Inspector Gadget, Herbie, etc. But I never really did anything with this fixation until I made Kelly Segal, the first MAI, and it was really just all downhill (or uphill? if you're into this stuff) from there.

Livastia honestly sort of started out as a joke, where I thought, "huh, wouldn't it be kind of funny if, in this robot world, the planes were robots too?" Dangerous thought, very dangerous thought in the fact that it made me wind up here - because it started out as a haha funny, but then I started thinking a little deeper. If the military planes are robots, why? There needs to be some justification for the military going through the trouble of making highly advanced AI war machines that are capable of independent thought.... wait a minute. And now, many many years later we wind up here. Allow me to now paste the description text that I have on my World Anvil here because I'm not typing out the entire current premise again LMAO

Livastia is a branch-off of the timeline of our own Earth where a breakthrough in the advancement of artificial intelligence was made much sooner - around the early 90's - by a company called CoreAegis. In their work, they managed to create an AI not only capable of reaching human intelligence, but in some aspects surpassing it. They intended to create a series of caregiver robots with this newfound technology, but as the world entered into a new world war, immense societal and moral pressure caused them to turn towards military applications with the goal of minimizing human casualty. This worked well... for the first few years, but in the ever-ongoing debate of nature vs nurture - at least in this case - nature triumphed, and the war was ended. Not by strategic superiority, but by the loss of desire of its pawns to perpetuate bloodshed. Today, my main goal with Livastia as a concept is to go into detail about how these "Livastian Military AI," or MAI go about their day-to-day lives in a world that no longer needs them as the war machines they were built to be, and where they're allowed to live as the individuals their programmers desired in the first place.
