Lawker also known as 14WK3R

My cyberpunk oc from my dnd group.

He’s basically a robot that the police force now use to enforce stability in a corporate controlled world. The police are mostly for hire though and are quite corrupt. 14WK3R was hired to shut down a robbery at a rich engineer’s house.

But one of robbers grabbed a random gadget and shot him with it. The device scrabbled his sensor unit and processor, within that moment he was hit repeatedly with a metal bat. The combined contact and confusion scrambled his coding. So he now has gained full sentience instead of false programming that most bots are programmed with for communication.

After a failed mission he was returned to the police force. He now struggles with his new found sentience, he is greatly concerned with the situation as police bots are created to serve and that only. He is forced to act as a robot like the rest as he is worried that if his secret sentience was found out, he would be sent to be scrapped. As police bots are programmed without sentience so that emotions and morals won’t influence their actions.

He is now trying to perform at his best despite his internal conflict, so that if he is found out, his high reputation will save him and he won’t be shut down. Although all these patrols aren’t quite getting him anywhere. Until he picks up radio chatter of a murder so he assigns himself to case. Upon arrival he finds out that he isn’t the only one who wants to solve it. As there are other people who’ve been ‘assigned’ or hired to track down the murderer. As the body shows signs of being part of an on going trend from someone called the Doll Maker Murderer. So he is now trying his best to be a detective and solve the case along with three others. He quickly realizes it won’t be easy as he is forced to against his previous programming to arrest the criminals helping him and take charge.
