# AI Cores
### AI cores are rare, semi-sentient constructs each with a distinct personality shaped by origin, purpose, & trauma.
Origins: Developed by the USMC as tactical overseers for autonomous war machines. Each core was imprinted with a personality matrix to improve decision-making, adaptability & pilot compatibility.
Post-Collapse Fate: After the collapse, many cores went rogue, were stolen, or reprogrammed. Some were salvaged from wrecked Titans, others traded on black markets or worshipped by fringe cults.
Core Traits: Each core retains fragments of its original mission, but over time they evolve, some becoming philosophical, others paranoid, and a few dangerously manipulative.\

**Player Bonding & Replication**
Once bonded, players gain the ability to **save a complete imprint of themselves** within the Core. This imprint acts as a digital copy a stored consciousness and skillset which can later be **fabricated into a new construct**. In practice, this means a bonded player can return even after destruction, or deploy multiple instances of themselves across different theaters, depending on factional technology and resource availability.
Bonding Protocols: Cores imprint on their pilots, forming symbiotic relationships. Some pilots claim their cores “dream” or “feel,” while others report hallucinations or memory bleeds.\
