#eclipse eas

I figured I’d ask you since you nicknamed Dark Sun, but do you have a name for the new Eclipse on TEAS? It feels wrong? weird? calling him Eclipse🙃

WHY YES, I DO!

I fully agree on how weird it was to call him Eclipse, and I decided to take a complete turn on interpretation of his name and environment!

We all (hopefully) know the base foundation of the world around TSBS is a world in which Humans live along side AI in a not-so-friendly manner. They’re given a couple rights, but not much overall. Put into work the second they’re created and not expected to live a life outside of servitude. Little did humanity know, androids were advancing faster than they could predict.

This lead to the science of AI, questioning if our recognizable animatronics are actually ALIVE. If they feel emotional/physical pain, if they understand humanity’s concepts, if they have souls.

If you want to check out an example of young AI vs old, sentient AI - observe Solar Flare and Eclipse from The Sun and Moon Show. Their interactions depict an AI that is not supposed to be sentient, confronting a faulty AI that is.

Because we’re in a different dimensions with clearly different rules, I decided to bend them as well.

In this universe, AI is getting farther ahead, and laws aren’t. AI is discovering itself and its identities, and Eclipse (EAS) is finding himself as well. Though he loves the name “Eclipse” and wouldn’t dare part with a “gift” such as it (or so he calls it), he strives to discover what it’s like to feel human, like many sentient androids wish for. So, he gains a human sub-name, Norman.

His design is based off the “regular joe, 9-to-5” stereotype…ish? Basing himself off a stereotype of the common man because it’s all he understands at his current moment in his sentient journey. Characters like him (and inspired off of) includes Free Guy and Fix It Felix.
