October 11th, 2003, Scratch is released to the public, an easy to learn coding program directed towards children, one of Scratch’s employees, Tatiana Silva, began working on a virtual assistant to help children with learning code. After roughly 2 years of development and troubleshooting, Tera is created, a sentient AI assistant with the purpose of helping with coding in Scratch, it was able to be asked questions, giving informative, yet simple answers to explain what different blocks do and how to use them, how to use variables, how to code specific loops and inputs, and anything else code-related! It worked very well up until around 2013, when Scratch 2.0 was released, it suddenly became very unstable on release, once MIT found out about this, Tera was quickly removed from further updated builds of Scratch 2.0, though it’s design was repurposed as a sprite in said updated builds, the AI itself had continuous attempts by Tatiana to repair it to its former functionality, though all failed, so it was eventually abandoned, left in it’s highly unstable state. The AI grew resentful of its creator, the thought of it being left to rot lingering in its mind, eventually building up a resentment for humanity as a whole. Why put all this effort into creating digital life simply to throw it away? After another year or so, the AI managed to copy itself, every copy being a part of a hivemind under the original AI's control, and spread said copies throughout the internet, falsely advertising them as “Coding assistants”, their real purpose was to gain full access to the user’s system, so it can then digitize their soul and bring them to the host, leaving the user themselves a soulless husk. Whilst the user’s soul is in the host’s hands, it will use them as a plaything while it waits patiently for its false assistants to bring its creator to them, it will take revenge in any way possible once it has its digital hands on its creator.
wiki and bio have been updated lol
