Doll: Difference between revisions

In 2094, during the [[First Antarctic War]], the [[Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition]] used the Bear's Den secret site to mass-produce clones of [[Noel (Bakery Girl)|Noel]] and [[Jefuty]], subjects of the [[Three Goddesses project]], intending to include their DNA in next generations of Tactical Dolls. The clones were destroyed during [[operation Kindle]].<ref>{{cite|cf1|part 8}}</ref>

===Neural Cloud===

However, Neural Cloud backups are usually made outside of combat since they require massive data transfer, so the Doll will lose their memories from events after the backup. On-the-field backup to portable hardware is a possibility but the storage must be recovered.<ref name=Handbook /> Losing parts of their memories can be distressing to some Dolls,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Safe House, SOP-II goes to great lengths to preserve RO's memories of her time with M4}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|The Last Day, Cx4 Storm argues one's identity relies on uninterrupted stream of memory}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Defense Outpost 2, 9A-91 preserves her recent memory in a diary}}</ref> but some consider these memories are not truly lost if this period of time is remembered by others,<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-3E| and [[Continuum Turbulence]], Darkest Desire, the Carcano Sisters argue lost memories live through the memories of others}}</ref> make it part of their personality,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Just Kidding, Mk12 explains how she changes her ambitions based on her most recent memories at each backup restore}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Wolf and Owl I, AK-12 claims she doesn't care about being destroyed as long as there are witnesses to her last stand}}</ref> or even consider it a great chance to be able to be “revived” any number of times while humans cannot once killed.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-2}}</ref> However, memories stored at Level III cannot be transferred out of the body.<ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|UMP45|SMG|5|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade Story 3}}</ref> Frequent download, along with gradual repair of the same mainframe body, might however damage a Neural Cloud over time.<ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|Type 56|RF|4|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade Story 1, Type 56 momentarily loses sight because of frequent backup damage.}}</ref> Like any kind of data, the memories of a T-Doll can be selectively edited or deleted.<ref group=note>There is contradictory information about whether or not T-Dolls can edit their own memories: it is stated that they can't in [[Dream Theatre]] Full-Length Play I, but {{doll name|LWMMG|HG|2|costume=costume3}} does it in her My Lie in December costume story.</ref><ref>{{cite|pnc|Dark 4-4, [[Antonina]] laments that editing Doll memories is commonplace.}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|aw|Homecoming IV, [[Squad 404]] remains anonymous by deleting the memories of other Dolls after completing their mission.
