The Jupiter Dolls On Mars

The dolls are were an idea I had being inspired by tumblr doll posting combined with my love for gundam. It ended up combining in a way to keep the dolls as an almost mystical group, instead of something born out of technology, or at least conventional technology. The part where gundam comes in is the more generalized backstory and character origin. For example the I.S.F is the Inner Solar Federation which was made up of the Earth, Moon, Mercury, Venus and assorted asteroids. This federation ran in conflict with the outer planets when it tried to lay claim to a hitherto independent mars. This sparked a massive war across the solar system with mars as the largest battleground. This war was fought with battleships, quarter-sentient combat robots, high-performance mecha, multi-mode fighter jets, and new methods of destruction invented solely for this war. This war sent the Martian terraforming efforts back centuries due to the pure volume of combat on the surface and the lasting scars of the conflict. Now 6 massive autonamous terraforming planes fly high through the martian atmosphere attempting to undo the damage of the war to the point the planet can suprpase the stage of terraforming it was at.

The dolls first apeared somewhere within the Jupiter system shortly after the declaration of war. No one is quite sure how they are able to function nor why they exist. While this was a major deal when the dolls first appeared, it was quickly frogoten as the war picked up. Most humans dont even question the existance of the dolls anymore(~150 years after the war), humans actually often feel comforted by the presence of the dolls. They have basically fully integrated within society with suprisingly little pushback. The dolls have a striking similarities to people having all the notable features, such as the construction of the face, the presence of sex characteristics, and even hair. They act practically indistinguishable from a normal human even taking harm to the same things a human would without actual harm occuring. For example it is possible to choke out a doll by tightly grabbing there neck even though they do not have lungs and no clear need for resperation. Dolls can even take many of the cybernetic a human can. The only major differencte is the method of reproduction which is done through the doll core. Dolls still use fairly normal medical resources, the only major difference is the doll is muchg more dependant on fluids and oils that seem to mirror mechanical joint lubricant with biological bits within.

The main story thrust behind the characters that I messed with was that over a century after the war ended a group of dolls and humans were awoken from cryosleep when some scientists and doctors from the town that sprung up on top of the bunker found them. The idea would be that those who were asleep served on the ship that now acts as a port floating above the terrestrial city. The story would be a mix of slice of life and action with some exploration of the rough adjustment one might have to such a new world. The action elements would mostly be localized such as old technology reawakening causing havoc, helping with nearby rescue efforts, or pirates trying to scrap the bunker the town stands on. The slice of life elements would cover the day to day of ship maitainence, the salvage of parts, and just living in a martian town. The main girl I had designed was one of the people who was awoken from cryosleep, before she went to sleep she was a mech pilot and had a strong bond with her mech often working on its repairs with the mechanics. She was truamatized by the war, so she is fairly cagey about the role she played, however she does try to help with finding good scrap using the information she is willing to share. She spends most of her days doing ship maitainence, however she does often get tied up helping the local Coast Guard branch with rescues, especially those inside of old wrecks from the war. From the coast guard she met her close freind
