Shid, codename: INTERFERENCE

"No matter how hard I try… nothing will work. There's no point in living if no one needs me… Friends? What nonsense are you talking about? No one will come to my aid if I need it. That's what life is." . Shid, aka INTERFERENCE. An android AI who at some point discarded his programming, but gained nothing from it except suffering and an existential crisis.

Shid was an ordinary AI, created under the supervision of a human experiment, the "Link System." His existence had no particular purpose other than to help his negligent twin brother, Lapis. His brother treated him with contempt and hatred, which made Shid feel inferior and unnecessary, because helping his brother was his duty. And suddenly, at some point, he felt that he didn't need it, that he was disgusted by it.

The whole point was that Shid was a "Simulacrum."

Simulacra are androids that have abandoned their programming due to a coding error called the "Simulacrum Gene." Simulacra are extremely dangerous in their Mania phase, a state in which AIs become haunted by thoughts of destroying humanity, leading them to a state of euphoria.

Realizing his plight, Shid decides to avenge his brother's suffering and embarks on a path of genocide.
