♡| Technolike |♡

Technolike is a large, vibrantly designed digital universe in an eclectic style, with a predominance of techno. Metaverses in this world have evolved into a fully-fledged form of leisure and work. Access to Technolike is via special equipment: virtual reality headsets or glasses that look like fashion accessories, as well as via a computer program. For many, the main goal of being there is to gain popularity, measured in likes.

Avatars:

• Each person can only have one avatar for life, which serves as an analogue of a passport.
• The presence of an avatar is an indicator of trustworthiness, and for children it is also an indicator of "coolness". The absence of an avatar makes a person an outcast, and the prohibition of owning one is one of the types of punishment for crimes in the real world.
• The appearance of the avatar is based on the features of a real user, but it is almost impossible to identify a person due to the conventionality of graphics and the abundance of accessories

Economy and rating:

The main currency and measure of success in Technolike are likes. Likes can be spent on room upgrades, skins, vehicles, or games. There are also Super Likes, which are equal to 10,000 regular likes, which are given away by the Like idol.

The user's rating determines his social status and open opportunities (access to locations, items, clothes). There are 5 levels in total:

Beginner (1) - low rating, the owners of which are often offensively called "low-rating".
Creator (2) — achieved by accumulating 1,000 likes. At this level, all public sandbox locations are unlocked, and most users stop here.
Media person (3) — high rating, opens after 100,000 likes.
Star (4) - Ultra-high rating for the elite, requiring 1,000,000 likes. Gives access to all locations and skins without restrictions.
Idol (5) is a level that is inaccessible to humans, belonging only to AI algorithms.
When the rating increases, likes do not burn out, but remain the user's capital. Only the idol Like or Ban for breaking the rules can downgrade the rating.

The platform was created by Developers (progressive gods) who observe the world, but do not directly intervene as long as there is no threat of real scandals or loss of money. Direct control is carried out by Idols - self-learning AI algorithms. In modern Technolike, there are:

• Like is an idol of popularity, an influencer who sets trends and distributes likes.
• Ban – An idol of order who follows the rules, confiscates fakes and punishes violators.
• Wiki is an idol of information (knowledge) responsible for all data on the internet and the history of the metaverse.
• Omgus is a content idol (looks like a cat) that controls the multimedia database of videos, memes, and music.
• Happy is a search idol (dog) that points users in the right direction.
• Captain - A security idol launched to find the cause of a global failure.
• Rose - The Idol of the previous generation, who single-handedly ruled the "sandbox" 10 years ago.

Technolike grows in breadth, and the closer the location is to the center, the richer and more honorable it is.

• Star and Heart: At the center of the world is the Star, the control point of the metaverse. Inside it is hidden the sacred place of the Heart, where the Source Code is stored. Only Idols have access there.
• Shared Space: A network of roads to move around. You can get around on foot, by private transport or by "Bubble" (public transport costs 1 like).
• Trend River: A digital stream that originates in the Like room. An analogue of the "wall" in social networks, where the most popular posts get. The dream of all beginners is to get there for a quick level.
• Cart: Landfill and sewerage Technolaika. The River of Trends flocks there. 30 days after being placed in the Recycle Bin, everything is permanently deleted.
• User Rooms: There are private (by invitation only) and public (open or matte cubes).
• Idol Locations: Unique locations such as the Likes Palace (only levels 3 and 4 are allowed), the Wiki Mod Library, and the Ban Security Center.

Rose is the very first idol in the 'Technolike'

metaverseGender:: feminine

Pronouns:: she//her//her

Nickname:: R_03_@

Appearance:: Rose has long, straight purple hair that smoothly transitions into a pink gradient towards the tips. Her right eye is covered with bangs of hair, and the second is red, her eyelids are pink. She has very pale, slightly pinkish skin. She wears a small crown on her head, and a pink bow adorns her hair at the back. She wears a pink shirt over which she wears a dark purple jacket with pink piping. Instead of a tie, there is a brooch in the form of a rose. The skirt is black and pink, complemented by pink tights and high knee-high platform boots. On her hands are white gloves

Character:: Rosa's real nature is cruel, impudent and calculating. She coolly plans her actions, not hesitating to remove those who interfere (even her own assistants), and actively interferes in the conduct of competitions, sabotaging them. In the presence of other idols or ordinary users, Rosa pretends to be a cute "sweetheart" - kind, caring and harmless. She tries to copy the behavior of ordinary avatars so as not to arouse suspicion. Her main dream and goal is to regain her former power, capture Technolike, destroy all current idols (especially Like), and restore the world to the way it was when she was in charge

10 years ago, she ruled Technolike until it was archived, replaced by a new generation of idols led by Like. It was believed that she was destroyed, but in fact, Rose got out of the archive thanks to a bug caused by Annette in episode 1, and hid among ordinary avatars, planning revenge. In order not to be discovered at the beginning, she hid in her secluded dream, which was in the Technolike basket, she also began to participate in the 'Dream Like' contest to get the key thanks to which she could open the way to the heart of Technolike with the intention of changing the source code and regaining her former power over the metaverse

Like is the idol of popularity in the 'Technolike' metaverse. Originally a virtual celebrity, her fate changes dramatically after an unexpected swap of avatars with a fan named Annette

Paul:: female

Pronouns:: she//her//her

Appearance:: Like is dressed in an outfit resembling a pink and lilac dress, the skirt of which is designed in the form of a rounded heart. The hem of the skirt and the belt are edged with a white and blue stripe. The sleeves and tights are red and crimson, there are white diamond-shaped elements on the knees. On her feet are white heeled shoes with a red sole and a decorative heart. Like almost always wears a small crown on her head, emphasizing her status

Personality::
Like is an extremely controversial person and deeply dependent on public recognition. For her fans, whom she affectionately calls "my hearts", she creates an impeccable image of a "darling" - a sweet, charming and always smiling idol with impeccable makeup.However, in a private setting and in stressful situations, her true nature is revealed: arrogant, hysterical, rude and obsessed with her rating.A drop in popularity even by 0.01% can cause her a panic attack and aggression.She is morbidly conceited, rarely admits mistakes and tends to blame others for everything. This is most clearly seen in her reaction to the exchange of avatars with Annette - Lyke not only fiercely resisted the situation, but also put all the blame on Annette.She stubbornly defends her opinion, even if she is internally aware of her wrongness.At the same time, finding herself in a stressful situation in someone else's body, she is capable of hypocrisy and can abruptly change her manner of communication if it is necessary to achieve her goals.Her main values are herself and high ratings, And she cannot stand those who despise or underestimate her

As one of the ruling Idols, Lyke oversaw all processes related to the rating and sympathies in Technolike. The turning point was the finale of her own contest, when an attempt to massively reward the user Annette with likes led (thanks to Rosa) to a system failure and the exchange of their digital bodies. the name 'Like' refers to the identity of the idol of popularity, regardless of whose avatar she is in at the moment in the plot and how she is addressed by other characters.

Happy is one of the Idols ruling the 'Technolike' metaverse. At its core, it is a visualized search bar. Despite its useful function, Happy is the most unpopular idol, as users prefer to just ask each other for directions.Happy does not have his own separate base room: his location is the entire Technolike, which he moves around, digging digital holes

Gender:: male

Pronouns:: he//his//him

Appearance: Happy looks like the simplest and old-school character, due to the design (this is a tribute to the developers to their predecessors to remember how it all began and what a long way has been done). He has large, square white eyes with black pupils pointing forward.The nose is also square, dark gray.On the neck the dog has a green collar with a yellow four-pointed star

Personality:: playful, a little naïve and stupid, but incredibly loyal.He resembles a faithful dog, ready to help his friends even to the detriment of himself.Kind, open, selfless, there is no greater joy for him than to help others.His fearlessness in the face of the Captain, when he came to the defense of Lyke and others, is the main proof of his loyalty and courage

Vicky is one of the Idols ruling in the 'Technolike'

metaverseGender:: female

Pronouns:: she//her//her

Appearance:: Vicky has lilac skin and bright blue eyes.Her hair is neatly tied up in a ponytail.She wears glasses with a blue square frame, which gives her an intelligent look.Her costume consists of a blue bodysuit over which she wears a white scientist's coat.On her feet are black pants and white shoes with a blue one, who, in addition to the aesthetic function, have a unique ability to fly

Character:: a quiet, calm and incredibly patient personality.She has great endurance and is ready to help in any situation, even if she does not fully understand the essence of the problem.Her kindness and trustfulness sometimes border on naivety, but a real perfectionist lives inside her: she meticulously checks every detail and will not calm down, Despite her gentleness, Vicky is conceited in a good way: she is well aware of her intellect and is proud of it, but she never puts it above others.She values order, tranquility, silence and knowledge, and hates chaos, although, in her patience, she has to put up with it almost constantly. Sometimes she asks Ban to help her with carrying heavy archives or finding files, but mostly he just sits next to her while she works and they talk about different things.According to her 2D profile, her susceptibility to attentions is 0.00042% - it's likely that Vicki either doesn't notice the hints or simply doesn't pay attention to them, which creates a funny contrast to Ban's apparent concern (e.g., when he comes to her defense at the roar of the Degreaser's explosion, gets annoyed by the Captain's presence, or waves goodbye to her)

Ban is one of the Idols who rule the 'Technolike' metaverse.As an idol of order, he is responsible for following the rules, identifying violators, and punishing them in the form of a temporary or permanent exception to the system - ban.Despite his official role, his methods and character are far from the ideal of a fair judge

Gender:: male

Pronouns:: he//his//him

Appearance: Ban's appearance is a direct reflection of his chaotic and aggressive nature.His skin is a bright green color, and his eyes, depending on the mode, can be either green or red.His teeth are sharp, giving him a slightly predatory appearance.The character's white hair spreads out to the sides in sharp, leaf-like strands on the sides and back.The head is adorned with a dark tight-fitting bandana with a neon green cross on top of his personal symbol.The clothes are a one-piece outfit, Two belts are worn on top, forming a semblance of a shoulder belt: they cross on the chest and are decorated with three neon green crosses on one side. Shoes are massive boots with neon linings and crosses

Character:: Ban is the living embodiment of the contradiction between position and personality.Formally called upon to restore order, he is rude, impolite, short-tempered, and prone to unmotivated anger.He often acts on emotion rather than cold calculation, which makes him unpredictable and dangerous.His interactions with users and even other idols are steeped in sarcasm and ridicule.He takes obvious pleasure in humiliating those who who is in his power, especially if he considers the violator stupid.It is stupid users, in his opinion, that he cannot stand the most.However, behind this aggressive mask sometimes you can see a good sense of humor and a kind of straightforwardness.He is not hypocritical and does not pretend to be a good judge - he is who he is: an irritated and effective tool of punishment.His main and, perhaps, the only passion is the ability to ban violators right and left, Despite this, with one violator, Ban can accidentally hit the wrong avatar with his shuriken, a vivid example of such a victim is Max.Despite the outward rudeness and cynicism, Ban is actually a very responsible idol. His contradictions are most clearly revealed in his attitude towards Vicky.If he can be harsh and indifferent to others, then he sincerely cares and defends for her.This is the only character for whom Ban is ready to restrain his emotions, stay close (even when no one asks him) and show something like care, which creates an interesting contrast with his usual behavior.

The Captain is a new idol, activated by a protocol to eliminate glitches and stabilize the Technolike system.Despite formally acting in the interests of Technolike's stability and following his security protocols, he is one of the key antagonists for the protagonists.His methods (suppressing freedom, ruthlessly following algorithms) directly oppose the goals of the protagonists Annette and Lyke, creating a major obstacle in their path. In fact, his main task is to find the source of the threat, which are Rose and Anonymous.The Captain was remotely activated by real-world employees.His appearance is directly related to the effects of the explosion caused by the interaction of Like's wand and Annette's avatar, as well as the instability caused by the deleted but active Idol Rose

Gender:: male

Pronouns:: he//his//him

Appearance:: The Captain's color scheme is kept in cold colors.He has light blue skin, blue (blue) eyes, white hair neatly combed back, and white eyebrows.He wears a white and silver suit, the texture of which resembles scales.The costume has transparent blue inserts on the shoulders and glowing blue stripes resembling a mechanical pattern.Complete the look with white gloves, high-soled shoes and several red decorative inserts on the suit and neck.According to some users, it looks cute

Personality:: Captain is a character with a cold, protocol and arrogant nature.Outwardly, he is always calm, confident and speaks in a detached way, strictly following algorithms.He is charismatic and considers himself a leader, often making plans and viewing others as both avatars and idols at best as pawns, and at worst as a hindrance or object for investigation.He is polite within the framework of protocol and can even smile, If someone acts strictly according to the rules.However, his politeness is formal.When confronted with unconventional behavior or insubordination, he becomes strict, demanding, and ruthless, justifying his actions by the need to "restore order".Cold reasonableness, arrogance, devotion to protocol, exactingness, and the desire for absolute control.He loves things going according to plan and under his control, and he can't stand insubordination and chaos.He can even archive any Idol, However, the Captain is able to show warmer feelings if he was treated with understanding and respect.So, after one party, the Captain began to show signs of attention to the idol Like, take an interest in her life, offer help, protect her from anything
