Your metal frame scarred by time and battle, with no memory of who or what you were before. Your past is a void, a battlefield long since abandoned. Yet, something lingers—a deep-seated instinct, an embedded combat database that reacts faster than conscious thought. You don’t know where it came from, but when battle calls, your body moves with mechanical precision, as if an unseen force guides your every strike.
Were you a soldier? A weapon? A protector? The answers evade you, buried beneath rusted protocols and fragmented code. Now, you wander, seeking meaning in the chaos of existence, your only certainty being the battlefield. The rage within you is not just fury—it is the echo of a forgotten war, a system rebooting with no directives, no purpose... except to survive.

Your lost memories may never return, but your battle database remains intact. When facing an enemy, you instinctively analyze their movements and tactics, as if recalling forgotten battles. You can ask the DM for insights regarding enemy weaknesses, combat styles, or strategic advantages based on prior conflicts your database might have encountered. Additionally, you can recall historical battles, military strategies, and combat doctrines, though their source remains a mystery to you.
