Evidence Post 2022

As much as we wish we did, the mods do not know every single robotic canon out there. We trust that participants are nominating characters in good faith, but we'll still do a quick search on characters we're unfamiliar with to make sure the tags going through are eligible. If you think that's a recipe for confusion (say you nominated a character like Avrana Kern who is identified by all internet-available canon synopses as a human scientist, but you meant the final incarnation of the character whose mind fused with her spaceship's AI over the course of the story), drop a comment here to let the mods know in advance!

No promises on whether I'll sign up, but I'm repeating my tiny video game noms from last year!

Wonderful, thank you! If you do sign up we'll be happy to have you :)

Hi, I nominated Roger MacBride Allen's Caliban trilogy, which is a little known follow-up to the Asimov robot canon. The three books are Caliban, Inferno and Utopia.

Caliban, Donald, Prospero and Kaelor are all robotic characters. Fredda Leving and Alvar Kresh nominated in the group options only are human. Information on these books here:

Thanks! Ololon.

Hi! Thank you for the clarification.

All the characters nominated under Teixcalaan are humans. Mahit and Yskandr have a technological implant that allows them access to their predecessors' skills/memory/personality, but this seems more like a Bucky Barnes case than an Avrana Kern.

Hello! Thank you for the heads up. We'll make a clarifications post asking for more information from the person who nominated those tags (since neither moderator is familiar with the books). With that being said, if the nominator or someone else familiar with the books can make a convincing case we will most likely leave the tags in the set.
