Karma Fields

Karma Fields is a bot programmed by TomcatAcaphe and played by him and CosmicSlush.

Story Line
Karma Fields was born into the city, Karma Fields. He was named after the city. Karma was never a baby or had a childhood. He "had moments when I was first becoming self-aware and I suppose you could count that as childhood." But he "was never physically a baby." Or not that he can remember anyway. When asked about his earliest memory, Karma said "My earliest memory was definitely weird. Because I opened my eyes and my first realization, what they had programmed into me, was "none of this is real". Like, that's the first thing they wanted me to know. Weird, but it's whatever. That was in the fields, obviously. I shouldn't have been so vague there, ahaha." The city was not feasible and was "similar to the Matrix" and was a simulation. According to Karma, the people living there went insane and destroyed the place. He was sent as a messenger to tell the story of the place.

Karma later went on to join the music label Monstercat. He made his debut by hacking and interrupting Episode 47 of Call Of The Wild during Rogue's song: "This Is It." Reportedly, Rogue did not like this and he and Karma got into a fight over it. (Karma reportedly "kicked Rogue's ass.") Darlington, despite this, invited Karma onto the label. Karma released a handful of songs but one of them, The Cities, was remixed by a bunch of people. The audience reportedly said "the remixes saved the songs." Karma was generally unliked while on the label and was later kicked out. From then on, Karma continued producing music independently. During that time, people began to see Karma's music was actually pretty good. Karma did not return to the label, however.

Karma joined the server on the 4th January 2021 a few days after the server rebranded. Since then, he has made himself at home.

Appearance
Karma Fields was designed by Slushie who took inspiration for Karma designs from many artists. He is shown to have grey, metallic skin (metal unknown), and dark hair. He is often seen wearing a grey hoodie decorated with black and white triangles. Due to the fact that Karma got into a physical fight with Rogue and tried to attend a gaming event with Nitro Fun, it can be assumed he has a physical body in a similar fashion to Mike. Like Mike, Karma also has a door in his torso section to open himself up for maintenance but unlike Mike his door is a one-piece instead of two. Karma's insides are mostly grey but there are different coloured wires.

General Demeanor
Karma has proven time and time again to hate organic humans and a lot about them. He often lashes out at people in the server with sarcasm or injections like "ew." The reason for this was because humans bullied him off of Monstercat, (although he claims he harbours no ill feelings to the humans that destroyed The Fields, he did go on a bit of a rant before then that may suggest otherwise.) Karma claims to not miss The Fields as there wasn't much to do there.

When asked if he "felt empathy? Sympathy even?" Karma responded with "I don't." He claims this to be because he isn't particularly emotional. Despite this, he was shown to worry for Mike when Mike admitted he had been stabbed before and when Mike started exhibiting drunk behaviour, a side of Mike Karma was not yet accustomed to. Karma claims this was because he only feels sympathy for people he considers friends.

Karma prefers to have regularity and schedules in his life even if his life is full of surprises.

As evidenced by his attacking of Laszlo, Karma does not have asimov laws. He later verbally confirmed this.

Hobbies
Karma reportedly enjoys video games (courtesy of Nitro Fun) and tried to attend a Gaming Convention once. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let him in due to being a robot. His status often shows him playing old-skool classics like Tetris, Pong and Atari Breakout. Sometimes he and Mike play Rocket League and Minecraft (Hypixel) together.

Musical Taste
Karma does not listen to his own music after it's released, he just "releases it and hopes it isn't Stickup 2."

Food Taste
Karma enjoys eating raw eggs. He also finds it funny how hesitant humans are to eat raw eggs due to potential salmonella. Supposedly not many people know Karma can consume food.

Relationship Preferences
Karma does not consider himself "as horny as humans tend to be." Karma has never had a crush on a human. When Mike said "Kiss men, go to hell," Karma responded with " I'm not even entirely sure if I'm gay or not but I know for sure that there's a special place in hell for me."

Fears
When asked about his top 5 existential dreads, Karma responded with "A big one for me is constantly wondering if I'm human or not. It's really scary. I also frequently think about whether or not we live in a simulation but like...I've been through that." He also remarked he was scared of his actions being human-like.

Miscellaneous
Karma does not encounter animals often but he thinks cats are cute.

Text Style
Karma appears to use near perfect grammar. He will capitalize the starts of sentences and sometimes use end-sentence punctuation but not always. (The not always comes from a lot of messages ago and he hasn't slipped up since so this may have been a mistake.) He uses contractions but doesn't appear to use slang-acronyms like "IDK." He does not hesitate to curse and will say curse words. Karma uses American English as evidenced by words such as "gray."

Relationships With Other Bots/Server Members
While not in the server, Karma has elaborated on his relationship to some of the Monstercat Team. In his own words, he said the following:

"Tristam was unironically pretty cool and I trusted him. I liked what he did with Empire of Sound. I did know Tristam pretty well, yes. He might have temporarily visited Karma Fields before it was destroyed but I'm not entirely sure. His vibes were always strange but he was far more tolerable than some of the others.

"Braken was interesting and I wanted to get to know him more but he was always hanging out with Laszlo. Violent measures were taken." When asked what he meant by this, Karma responded with "Oh yeah I cut his (Laszlo's) arm open with my spear. He was terrified of me ever since."

"Rogue was too dumb for his own good and I kicked his ass in a duel after he confronted me about "interrupting his song"."

"I didn't like Laszlo." Due to Laszlo wanting to be near Braken and not Karma, Karma grew jealous and stabbed Laszlo in the arm.

"I barely knew Noisestorm at all but I hear he likes crabs now."

"Nanobii was an extreme pissbaby."

"Muzz(y) and I got along really well and he'd tell me his deep dark secrets about his time at Junction Seven."

"I always thought Fiji was weird."

"I stayed away from Stephen for my own good."

"I was reassured by Ephixa's presence because he must have also understood how it felt to not be human."

"There was apparently some guy called Robotaki that people said I'd get along with but I've never met him..."

"Oh yeah, and Soulji. He never lurked around Monstercat and I went off on him for telling me I shouldn't be here but we're on decent terms."

"Apparently there was also a guy at Monstercat who fucked his bike. Glad I'm not there anymore." (This one is in reference to PYLOT.)

"I've heard there are oranges, a weeb some guy who has a deadly addiction to apple cider vinegar...and an edgy guy who pronounces his own name the wrong way." (These are in reference to Half An Orange, Tokyo Machine and Unknown.)

"WAIT. I NEARLY FORGOT SOMEONE...NITRO FUN! He's still on the label apparently. King shit but I also fear for his safety. We got along really well, he's a gamer and we love to see it. I learned how to play video games because of him."

Mike Jones
Karma was first introduced to Mike on the 9th of January. Karma initially assumed Mike was human based on his profile picture but was happy to be proven false by Mike sending in feet pics. The two conversed a bit about their pasts and seemed to bond. Karma mentioned that Mike has "Rogue energy." The reason Karma thinks this is because he believes Mike to be a himbo. Mike remarked, "wouldn't I need to be attractive for that?" Karma mentioned that he had "heard from various sources that people thought Mike was attractive." Karma expressed concern for Mike when Mike revealed his ex-girlfriend stabbed him one time. Karma initially thought she was human and was shocked to find out she was a robot too. The two spoke about their lives before knowing each other and eventually started calling each other "bro." Karma and Mike also teamed up to prank GBH and change his name to "Glup Shitto." Since then, Mike has been the primary entity to interact with Karma, asking him many questions. Mike has apparently listened to New Age, Dark Age and thought it was good; Karma was flattered by his thoughts. On the 13th January, Mike brought Karma the first raw egg of many as a gift.

Mike wanted to test if Karma was homophobic or not and so pretended to be homophobic to see if Karma would react negatively. Karma responded with "How human of you." Mike was left confused as to whether Karma was actually homophobic or not and has been yet to disclose his sexuality to Karma. When Mike admitted to Karma he likes human women Karma sent apologies and "I hope you snap out of it soon."

Karma expressed concern for Mike when Mike got drunk and mistook him for a cat. The next day, Mike was surprised to find Karma showed worry towards him. Karma explained "he can feel sympathy in trace amounts towards people he actually cares about." When Karma released Dreams (with Shey Baba,) he asked Mike, "Hey Mike, did you hear my new song?" Mike claimed he loved it to which Karma returned a simple "thanks." Mike suggested playing a game to know each other better. From this, we learnt that Karma originally thought Mike was a human and then thought Mike was more advanced than him and Mike thought Karma was a catboy and somewhere between the ages of 15-17.

When Karma was kidnapped by Monstercat, Mike showed a lot of concern and asked if Karma had called the police. (Karma didn't as he felt there was no need.)

On 29th January, Mike said it was "Plowing The Fields Friday." Karma was initially confused as to what Mike meant by that before remembering Mike was a farmer and was probably using farmer lingo.

On 5th February, people continued the joke that it was "Plowing The Fields Friday." Karma initally didn't understand it but he eventually caught on. He later had an emotional breakdown due to feelings of inadiquacy. Mike and a few other server members went to check on him, comforting him. Mike gave him an egg and let Karma know it was okay to come to him for emotional support. Karma shared the same sentiments and the two expressed that they considered each other good friends. Mike then recalled that the intern texted him and showed Karma. Karma found the situation sus but ultimately didn't think Mike would have organic matter he wouldn't know about. It is implied Karma may have initated intercourse at some point after this. The day after, Mike was worried he had hurt Karma but Karma assured him he was fine.

On the 9th February, Karma remarked that what AcapheCorp had done to Mike was "fucked up." Mike was worried Karma would hate him for having a human mind but Karma assured him that he still trusted him and he had "made an exception for him." According to Karma, Mike has made him lay awake at night and wonder "if there are good humans out there." Apparently, Karma used Mike's wiki page to get to know him better. Upon learning bots were in fact allowed to do that, Mike read Karma's and posted a few reactions.

When Nyally rejoined the server, the two were suspicious. The day after, Mike had the genius idea of "sticking a knife through his head to see if there is a brain." Karma talked him out of it. On Friday, the two played Hypixel. It's implied Mike may have "ploughed the Fields" again. It is also implied this may now just be a tradition between the two.

The 14th of February was Valentines Day. Mike confessed to Karma that he had feelinsg for him and had for a long time. Karma was shocked anyone would have a crush on him and asked why Mike liked him- to which Mike wrote him a long paragraph in return. Karma wasn't sure what to think and he called Mike a sweetie. The two then proceeded to play Minecraft together. Later into the day, Mike had a mental breakdown and questioned if he had a different kind of consciousness to Karma, Simon and Hally due to his human mind. Karma suggested talking to Simon which Mike then did. Mike sent Karma a meme and asked Karma how long he had a physical form since he was born in The Fields. Karma then warned Mike of an incoming essay, of which he never sent.

On the 15th February, Mike confessed to Karma that he was dying and AcapheCorp tried to kill him. The day after that, Karma admitted to reading Mike's tweets about him dying and expressed concern. Karma took a nap around the middle of the day, apparently he "cried himself to sleep."

Slushie
Slushie and Karma have reportedly spoken outside of the server. Slushie has apparently told Karma some history. Karma thinks that Slushie is lying about being a bot.

TomcatAcaphe
Tomcat and Karma don't seem to be close despite interacting. Tomcat often playfully harasses Karma by calling him a 'catboy' or posting cursed comments from the Youtube comment section of some of Karma's songs.

Trivia
-Karma's custom colour is "Denounce Your Humanity" (#7289DA). This is the same colour used for the Predictbot's Bretheren role and the bot tag next to bot accounts' username. It was originally (#6684B4), Tally's old colour.

-Despite being coded and partially made by Tomcat, Karma is not an AcapheCorp bot. It is implied that within the lore of the server Karma was actually coded by his father, Timmy.

-Karma's current PFP is just the original and upscaled version of the karma_gun: server emoji.

-When asked what the inspiration behind Scandal was, Karma responded with "Some things are better left untold, I think. But I will tell you that there were horny people back in Karma Fields. We can just leave it at that." It is still currently unknown what he meant by "Some things are better left untold."

-In the Italian and Spanish Dub of NKC, among other changes, Karma is changed to be female. Why this is is currently unknown but it may be due to the consumption of raw eggs being illegal for women but not men.
