Made a colored reference for Alden, some of the details changed to make it easier to draw. Her staff also got a new look! I gotta figure out how to draw her magic.

SOL - ASK BLOG

Welcome to the Ask-Blog for SOL - Reborn as a machine. This is a work in progress story project by @crudaka and @chroniclerenigma.

What is SOL about?

We follow the story of Amanda Sooraj, whose life was turned upside down when she crossed paths with a shadow from another world. Trapped in the body of a 20ft. tall machine and taken to another reality where magic and monster rule, she must learn to survive and find a way back home.

Genre: Mecha, Isekai

THE CHARACTERS

Amanda Sooraj

Personality Impulsive, passionate, mischievous, sometimes flirty, strong willed, unpredictable and absolute nerd.

Backstory Amanda is a human with a strong interest in all things robots and mecha. She enjoys collecting figurines, reads comics and manga and loves oversharing her interest with her friends and family. To own a mech, or be a pilot would be her dream come true but it is not very realistic, given such technology does not exist. Little does she know, this dream becomes reality, albeit not exactly how she imagined.

A cryptic entity from a different reality crosses her path and rips her away. When she awakes, she finds her body transformed into a 20ft. tall machine. Amanda is initially very confused and oddly happy about this but soon realizes, this body does come with its own set of problems. Additionally she is no longer in a world she can recognize. This world has magic and monsters and she has to adapt quick if she wants to survive and find a way back home.

Luckily she is not alone.

SOL

Personality Logical, observant, curious, loyal (to Amanda), inhuman, emotionless.

Backstory SOL is a highly advanced AI-Assistant who was created to aid Amanda in her adventure. He lives within her systems and he supports her in navigating her new body/surroundings. SOL does not remember anything before Amanda awakened and is unable to pin down his origin. But he does know he was made to support his "Driver". SOL does not understand human emotions and lacks a sense of self. Because of this, he misunderstands Amanda's intentions. But his innate nature is to adapt and learn. So he learns from Amanda and the people around him.

Alden Galashiels

Personality Kind, determined, curious, polite (usually), compassionate, smart, inexperienced.

Backstory Alden is a human mage, hailing from a wealthy background. Her family runs a shop selling magical goods, which gave her easy access to education and magic. However, her real dream is to become an Arc-Mage, a title only given to the best of the best. It is also a title no human ever managed to reach due to their much shorter lifespans. Despite this, she can not let go of her dream and decides to go out into the world to pursue it. The first step: become an adventurer and gain first hand experience. She would eventually cross paths with Amanda who time and time again surprises everyone with her odd ways. Alden is initially intimidated by Amanda but they both end up bonding over their passions and become friends. Alden is unaware of Amanda's true identity.

Valindra Eilbeehla

Personality Mischivious, sly, lazy, opportunistic, greedy, defensive, shady, secretly kind. Backstory Valindra is an elven adventurer traveling along side the goblin Sril. She is infamous for her opportunistic and shady behavior. Despite this reputation, she is able to make her own set of connections. All thanks to her silver tongue getting her out of sticky situations again and again. She got charisma, and knows how to handle a sword. But her main means of success is convincing strong adventurers to join her group. Naturally, when she learned about the new adventurers Amanda and Alden, she convinced them to join hers. Little does she know, this is going to become a life changing decision. Valindra does not speak about her past. She actively avoids becoming attached to people. Yet even she can not stop herself to reach when someone is calling for help. This is evident, when she saved the ex-assassin Sril from a terrible life.

Sril

Personality Observant, reserved, mistrusting, loyal to friends, intelligent, patient. Backstory Sril is a goblin and a man of few words. He used to work for the Assassins Guild, where he was trained to be a weapon with no emotion. It was not a life he chose but it was forced on him. Valindra of all people saved him from that life. Not knowing what to do with himself, he follows Valindra. He is incredibly loyal to her despite her sometimes taking advantage of it. Sril does not trust strangers easily and he knows something is up with Amanda, even if he can not figure out what exactly.

Dagrael

Personality Determined, compassionate, strong-minded, strong sense of duty, perceived as confident, actually shy, racist (towards humans), dependable if you are on his side. Backstory Dagrael is an incredibly powerful and feared undead who suddenly appeared 10 years ago and declared war on this world. Since then his power and influence gained him the notorious title "Demon King" ruling over the non-humans. He is much like Amanda, a human from our world who ended up in this world with a new, much more powerful body. In his case, he was transformed into an undead beast, able to use powerful magic. And he uses said power for what he perceives to be justice. In contrast to when he was a human, he was a fragile young man, wrecked by sickness and anxiety. He relates to what it feels like to be weak and helpless, therefore aims to become the voice for those who are too weak to speak.

Sera

Personality Insatiable curiosity, intimidating, cold, strict, inhuman, manipulative, obsessive, loyal (to Dagrael), calculated. Backstory Sera is a SOL but was renamed by Dagrael. Just like SOL, she does not remember anything before being assigned to Dagrael but she has been diligently researching her past by exploring the ruins in this world. She is Dagraels strategist and serves as the general for his Armies. Every step she takes is highly calculated and intentional, all in order to fulfill Dagraels desires. Her time in this world has made her understand how humans operate, allowing her to carefully move them like chess pieces. She is able to command an army of undead like a hivemind and can be seen using undead as her own body.
