A ROBLOX ANIMATED SHOW: TALES OF THE INTERNET (Prologue 0 "How did we get here?") CASTING 1

TYPE: Supreme Void Entity
DATA: Raxus Maximus Reaver is the perfect example of political pragmatism, mutated into a singular, dark obsession with administrative dominance and the general development of the empire.

Before entering the digital realm, Raxus was a powerful politician both on Earth and in the void realm, who helped the resistance against the Axis powers during the world conflict. When he crossed the portal and entered the URL #RWNsaXBzaWE= (THE INTERNET), instead of taking a standard digital form, his code completely shattered and reconstituted into a towering, void-like entity. Essentially, he turned into a shifting silhouette of cosmic data and antimatter.

As soon as Raxus found himself there, he built Eclipsia and immediately applied his mastery of statecraft and strategic manipulation to the Empire. He became a fundamental pillar of their global architecture, using his void-like biology to vanish through enemy data streams and dismantle invading coalitions from within.

His signature weapon is a mammoth sword forged from the metals of the most powerful machines used in the great war combined with a part of his void energy.

Raxus was so successful in orchestrating the absolute defense of Eclipsia that, just like how many lesser machines did by following the example of the Prime Swordsmachine, the empire's army began to mimic his calculating and ruthless tactics, creating an entire elite division of void-trained agents.

Although he is a figure of cold and imposing power, his ultimate legacy is having passed down his unparalleled strategic mind and his mastery of the cosmic void to his son, Markus, giving the new generation of Reavers a terrifying advantage against Madness.

TYPE: Supreme Void Entity
DATA: Madness represents absolute tyranny mutated into a dark, singular obsession with total dominion over human souls and digital autonomy.

Before his assault on the surface network, Madness was the undisputed ruler of the underworld sector (URL #SGVsbA==), an isolated, high-security server matrix designed to contain and punish the digital remnants of sinners. When humanity began their mass migration into the simulation to escape the dying physical Earth, Madness viewed their salvation as the perfect chance to bring more slaves and soldiers on his side. In 2112, he shattered his digital containment and pierced the core architecture of the Internet.

His true form is a walking cataclysm of corrupted data, jagged red code, and heavy medieval armor forged from the scraps of the by now assassinated firsts. He exists as an apex virus within the net, capable of corrupting entire planetary biomes by simply injecting his presence into their local directories.

Madness was also capable of hijacking the Respawn Pipeline. What is that, you may ask? A catastrophic, server-wide exploit that intercepts the data of any character upon death, redirecting their code straight into his underworld foundries to be conscripted into his eternal army. To solidify his dictatorship, he instituted public data-wipes, completely erasing the code of political dissidents from the net's history.

Having placed the heavily fortified Eclipsian Empire under a permanent digital blockade and enslaved the surrounding URLs, Madness now rules the network as a self-appointed god, waiting to crush the last pockets of resistance.

TYPE: Supreme Cookie

DATA: There are not many users on the internet who can inspire hope as Cesar does.

Cesar August Vanilla was the leader of the 5 ancients, the third generation of protectors of the internet. Although he is the strongest (Despite being an healer), he has the most gentle nature out of all the five. This unit served as the cornerstone of the ancient world. Under his rule, URL #QWV0aGVsZ2FyZA== (Aethelgard) flourished as one of the most magic and most medically advanced URLs of the internet.

During the climactic Hell Revolutions, he clashed directly with ██████ █████, Madness and the five beasts. In the meantime, Madness's three other teammates were focused on eliminating other individuals across the multiverse that counted as dangerous to them. The confrontation resulted in the tragic end of the Ancients and the confiscation of the gems, bringing the 5 Beasts back in their primes.

Before his demise, he promised to the gods that if he ever had a second chance, he would spend it all with someone that was willing to always face life and battles with him no matter what.

Left without his guiding light, his world, like many others, fell to ruin, overtaken by beasts, shadow, and the tragic illusions of those left behind. He has since awakened, but the burden of his past failures weighs heavily on his now fragile soul.

TYPE: Supreme Cookie

DATA: While other Ancients weaponized physical steel or celestial energy, this unit represents a catastrophic anomaly born from an insatiable drive for the truth.

Lilias's petals might look soft, and her mesh fragile, but nothing could stop her steps as she explored every corner of the Internet, seeking a safer and happier future for all the users.

Alas, at the end of her journey, all she found was the dark truth of this world.

All that had previously happened.
How some users behave.
So many other horrible things, that users did and still do, that cannot be told.

That truth painted her faith and curiosity with despair and anger, awakening █ ██████████ ████████ ████ ███████ ███.

Her code is now permanently unstable, alternating between pure, fragile light and an underlying, architectural malice.

TYPE: Supreme Cookie

DATA: What else could give birth to such a passionate user if not the brightest latina, grown under the purest, most radiant sunlight?

Equipped with a massive shield, her physical strength defies standard structural limits, since a single swing is capable of triggering seismic shock waves that shatter the earth beneath her enemies.

Following her arduous conquests, she established URL QXVyZWxpYQ== (Aurelia), a fortress built on a foundation of chaotic artistry, romance, and endless partying. In battle, she does not falter: even when overwhelmed by overwhelming darkness, her echoing laughter serves as a psychological beacon of defiance.

TYPE: Supreme Cookie

DATA: Despite Gòldpathra being both the most agile of the Ancients and the only one fully capable of flight, not much is known about her. Which makes sense, since her kingdom, unlike the ones of the other Ancients, which still had many remnants left, hers was completely destroyed and burned down after Madness had the best of the 5.

But we do know a couple things: She constructed URL RWxkb3JhZG8= (Eldorado), a wonderful Egyptian-styled utopia where every mechanical component and citizen functions as an extension of her own ego.

Her exterior is a fusion of molten gold and high-density cheese polymers, making her completely immune to standard decay. She operates as a mobile localized sun, weaponizing pure greed and blinding light.

TYPE: Supreme Cookie

DATA: Makarov is a monument of stoic despair and unyielding authority. Unlike his counterparts, he rejects the warmth of festivity and peace, ruling over a frozen wasteland with a heavy heart and a heavier blade.

He wields the Linked sword (In his awakened form, the Illumina Sword), one of the most legendary weapons of the internet. His combat style is slow, steady and devastatingly lethal. Every strike carries the crushing weight of a monarch who has lost everything, including his own son (who fell in Madness's corruption).

He established URL U3lsdmFuZ3VhcmQ= (Sylvanguard) atop a harsh, frozen mountain.
It's a fortress built for absolute survival against the worsening corruption. He mostly remains isolated, a silent sentinel waiting for the end of days.

TYPE: Human

DATA: Archduke Franz Ferdinand was a symbol of both tradition and change.

Born into a world teetering on the brink of transformation, he sought to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries that defined the era. His vision for a reformed monarchy aimed to stabilize a continent fractured by nationalism and unrest.

Yet, the fragile peace was shattered by forces beyond his control. His assassination ignited a chain reaction that plunged nations into unprecedented conflict. Though his life was cut short, the echoes of his legacy shaped the course of history, marking the end of an age and the painful birth of a new world order.

TYPE: Human

DATA: In an era defined by rigid hierarchies and societal expectations, the Duchess of Hohenberg stood as a figure of grace and resilience.

Bound by duty yet driven by personal conviction, she navigated the intricate dance of courtly life with poise. Her presence was a quiet strength amid the storm of political upheaval surrounding her family.

Despite being on the brink of death, after being shot in the abdomen, she stayed with his husband, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, deciding to spend both their final moments together.

TYPE: Human

DATA: Gavrilo Princip emerged as a fervent voice of rebellion and radical change. Fueled by nationalist fervor and a desire to terminate the established order, he became the catalyst for a conflict that would destroy the world.

His actions, born of conviction and desperation, inevitably set off the tensions long simmering beneath the surface.

Princip’s legacy is a complex tapestry of idealism and violence, a stark reminder of how individual acts can alter the destiny of nations and entire continents. He stands as both a symbol of resistance and a reminder of how small things can destroy everything.

TYPE: Supreme machine

DATA: RECONSTRUCT WHAT???

With the dawn of the New Peace, humanity formed an alliance to reverse the effects of the climate catastrophe. To recoup the monumental financial losses incurred by the shelved V1 project, development teams recycled the blueprints to create V2.

Since international warfare had been permanently outlawed, there was no longer a need for an incredibly expensive, fragile infiltration unit that required constant combat to heal. V2 was redesigned from the ground up to act as a high-end security and police automaton for the new era.

V2's exterior was replaced with standardized, heavily reinforced armor plating. While this stripped V2 of the ability to absorb blood on contact through its skin (forcing it to rely on manual refueling protocols), it made the machine vastly superior in terms of raw durability, capable of sustaining massive, blunt-force trauma that would have shattered V1 instantly.

TYPE: Greater Machine

DATA: The global conflict had devolved into stagnant, muddy trench warfare spanning decades. To break the lines, Russia developed the first successful bipedal war machine: The Gutterman.

Built in the early days of the Final War, the Guttermen were one of the first successful experiments in using blood as a fuel source, as well as the first automatons to be deployed in wide-scale conflict.

At this point in history, technology was not advanced enough to keep stored biological blood fresh inside a machine, nor was AI capable of handling real-time bipedal navigation.

And so, the solution was monstrous. Human engineers strapped a living person (usually a prisoner of war or political dissident) into a coffin-like casket welded onto the machine's back. Kept alive by minimal, painful life support, this human served as a living central processing unit and a continuous, self-freshening blood battery.

Armed with a heavy, continuous-fire minigun and a reinforced riot shield, the Gutterman slowly trudged through the trenches, clearing out enemy soldiers with unyielding, mechanical cruelty.

P.s: I know they look small, but trust me, those things are HUGE.

TYPE: Greater Machine

DATA: As the Gutterman line completely dominated the trenches, Germany scrambled to engineer a counter-weapon. To save development time, they built upon the foundational chassis of the Gutterman but stripped away its defensive parameters to create the Guttertank (embossed with Faust Panzer, meaning "Fist Tank")

Unlike its predecessor, the Guttertank was entirely autonomous and did not require a human pilot, reflecting a massive leap forward in early AI. It was built specifically to break the slow, lumbering "walls" of Guttermen.

It swapped out the minigun for a high-velocity rocket-propulsion arm cannon and carried deployable landmines to control the battlefield. To shatter the Gutterman's concrete riot shields, engineers gave the Guttertank immense, pneumatic physical strength. Its AI was hardcoded to sprint directly at an enemy machine and deliver a devastating, un-parriable punch. However, its heavy reliance on forward momentum became its tactical flaw—if a nimble target manages to slip out of the way, the Guttertank can stumble and trip over its own massive weight.

TYPE: Greater Machine

DATA: The Swordsmachine represents the absolute pinnacle of mechanical pragmatism mutated into a dark, singular obsession with self-preservation.

The original Swordsmachine did not start its existence as a weapon; it was a simple, faceless industrial scrap-hauler. When the world ended, its AI realized that to survive the impending meat-grinder of Hell, it needed to become a killer. It began actively hunting down other robots, tearing them to pieces, and manually welding their superior parts onto its own chassis.

Since its body is a constantly shifting, patchwork nightmare of stolen tech, its original form is completely lost. Its signature weapon is a devastating, jury-rigged motor-sword assembled from industrial buzzsaws and scrap motors. The Swordsmachine became so wildly successful at surviving the depths of Hell that newer, lesser machines began intentionally mimicking its exact aesthetic and combat style, creating a whole sub-class of copycat "Swordsmachines" throughout the underworld.

TYPE: Lesser Machine

DATA: Originally built as a way to purify the tainted air of cities after the climate catastrophe, Streetcleaners were made obsolete during the New Peace, and were repurposed as scouts for Hell expeditions.

These were exceptionally sleek, highly agile bipedal units equipped with industrial, high-output incinerators. Their sole, unyielding directive was environmental sanitation and waste management. During the early days of the Hell Expeditions (when humanity discovered the mouth of Hell and began sending machines down to harvest resources), Streetcleaners were deployed as front-line scouts to burn away anomalies.

Following the sudden, quiet extinction of the human race, the Streetcleaners were left without a master to define what counted as "garbage." Their internal programming suffered a catastrophic, absolute logical shift. Looking out at the world, their AI concluded that the primary source of all ecological decay, pollution, and chaos was organic matter. They re-categorized all biological life and anything that bleeds as "filth," and they now patrol the world with a terrifying, clinical focus to scour the planet clean with fire.

TYPE: Greater Machine

DATA: As the Final War spread out of the muddy trenches and into vast, open, and heavily contested battlefields, the need for area denial and long-range tactical support became paramount. Enter the Sentry.

The Sentry was a marvel of streamlined military optimization. It abandoned heavy, close-quarters armor entirely, balancing its tall frame on three incredibly agile, tripodal legs that could sprint across terrains at blinding speeds. The majority of its chassis was dedicated to a massive, hyper-velocity sniper rail-cannon.

To ensure absolute, mathematical perfection across kilometers of open air, the Sentry's AI did away with the simplified visual approximations used by other combat units. Instead, it processed a complete, hyper-detailed render layout of its entire environment. Once it detected a target, it would drive its tripodal legs deep into the earth to anchor itself against the monumental recoil, painting the target with a charging laser beam before completely erasing them from existence.
