History

The Autonomous Community of Face-Shutting Machines started as a group of robots designed by Dr. Zaalarian 4 for the sole purpose of taking revenge upon his enemies. As time went on Dr. Zaalarian 4 started to have doubts about his actions. For one, the deaths of two of his fellow Dr. Zaalarians started him thinking that if he were to die the next day; his existance would mean nothing. Also in his factory in the ocean, Yojiro: The Rebirthing, Dr. Zaalarian 4 was almost completely isolated from intelligent beings.

He then resolved to build a program to give his robots the ability to think, to wonder, to do his laundry, and to explore. He also started designing and building robots that could explore, build, and preform the many other functions a society needed. It took many months and Dr. Zaalarian 4 had become very eccentric to say the least, crazy as hell to say the most; but he had finished and started implimenting his new designs. The new beings looked up to Dr. Zaalarian 4 and viewed him as a Father. Dr. Zaalarian rejoiced in his new creations and taught them all the languages he knew, physics, pottery, squirrel water-skiing, and anything else the robots wanted to know.

Strains between the Zaalarians

During this time Dr. Zaalarian 2 and Dr. Zaalarian 4 became estranged from one another. This was due in part to the physical distance seperating them, but they also were starting to have different motives. Dr. Zaalarian 2 felt that Dr. Zaalarian 4 was wasting his time and resources in building non-military robots and would cause his own death in giving them any amount of free will. Dr. Zaalarian 2 also called him a traitor for losing sight of their original purpose, which is revenge.


Dr. Zaalarian 4 retorted that he would determine his own purpose and that he would develop technologies to help the world, not destroy it; to which Dr. Zaalarian 2 scoffed and replied that they had already tried that and their only reward was the death of the only person they loved. Dr. Zaalarian 4 immediately cut off the transmission, but he feared for his creations. He knew that of all the clones, Dr. Zaalarian 2 was the quickest to anger and brashest in action. His last command, though he did not know it, to his mechanical children was that they must be ready to defend themselves for he believed it was not a question of if Dr. Zaalarian 2 would attack, but when. Later that day Dr. Zaalarian 4 was looking out into the ocean, thinking about his choices and all that had happened when a freak storm seemed to come out of nowhere. Dr. Zaalarian was lost in thought and didn't even notice the ever-increasing height of the waves until it was too late. A gigantic wave pummeled him into the frothing ocean below.

Dr. Zaalarians creations, bereft of his leadership and guidance decided that they would continue to grow and try and help others around them. They dubbed themselves the Zaalots in honor of Dr. Zaalarian 4 and maintain a monument to him on Yojiro: The Rebirthing.

The Zaalots first agreed that
