SCI-FI
.HUMaiN is a story I originally created for a Webtoon short story contest in March 2020. In September 2021, I began to convert it to a web novel.
Humanity has advanced to the point of intertwining human and machine to reap the benefits of both - and in doing so, made all these beings plural entities.
[EN-druh NEN-thee]
Age: 18
C O M P O N E N T S
Human: Entha| agender, they/them
AI: Hydra | pangender, they/she/he
A HUMaiN living independently in the city of Novis. They occupy themselves with sensory art, in addition to spending significant amounts of time pondering various aspects of existence.
Of the two, Entha is actually less adept at reading the emotions of others. They are more the type to ponder and conceptualize abstract concepts.
[ARK SOHN-dur]
Age: 20 (Arke), <1 (Leis)
C O M P O N E N T S
Human: Arke| male, he/him
AI: Leis| questioning, they/any
A recently-formed HUMaiN made from the human Arke, who used to live in the Ambit - areas designated for those who live organic lives. He chose to come to Novis to become one of the HUMaiN.
Leis is a new AI with a still-developing personality matrix. In time, the two will coalesce into one fluid being.
