Lore Work for my characters and universe.
SOULDROIDS
Souldroids are sentient humanoid machines that bear a soul and can feel all the emotions any human being can, such as joy, sadness and anger.
The Soul itself comes from White Crystals, strange rocks mined from the ground in almost completely random places, no studies were able to confirm how or where these crystals come to be, some even speculate they came from the heavens, they all carry one sentient force.
The Souldroid requires three things: A humanoid body, a alectronic brain, and a White Crystal with a soul attatched to it, it is evident that in order for the soul to fully integrate itself in the being, the body must have a human-like shape, not only that, but a electronic brain is necessary to handle physical sensations and optimal memory storage, almost like a human brain, and last but not least: A White Crystal carrying the soul.
During the first stages of it's life, the Souldroid acts very silent and at a near catatonic state, and much like a child, has to learn from watching the world around it, weeks after it's infancy, the Souldroid will develop it's personality based on it's likes and dislikes, and those around them, they often reach mental maturity at about 3 months old, much quicker than any human child.
During it's life, the Souldroid requires extensive maintenance, and much like human beings, periods of sleep, not to rest their bodies necessarily, but to maintain their mental health, although charging the body's functons is preferable during this state, if the body runs out of energy, the Souldroid won't die, it'll just enter into a coma and will awake upon being fully recharged.
In order to die, a Souldroid must have their white crystal shattered, if not, they can be rebuilt as many times as necessary.

perhaps they are a gift for heaven or perhaps is a coincidence?.
let's see what this rabbit hole leads to.

What happens if their crystals do not get shattered, but split?

being split is kind of the same as shattering, so they'd die in this case.

Hm, the idea I had is that they can have their physical bodies manufactured specifically to the taste of a person in possession of a crystal, it's like a customized lamborghini ( even going as far as being as pricy as one )
But the personality and all is entirely up to the experiences they have during a non-mature state.

Ah, I see. So, what do you think about the manufacturing process idea?

This is a pretty cool concept and also kinda reminds me of the Soul Stone from Marvel Comics.

If a souldroid gets shattered and rebuilt, does it keep its memories and personality?

If the crystal is shattered they die for good, no matter how much glue you put on it.
But if the body is destroyed, they'll be fine as long as the crystal is unscratched.

Yeah, that's what I mean, the crystal remains untouched. But if the brain is also destroyed do they suffer any memory loss?

the brain is there just to handle physical sensations like touch, pain and pleasure so no, it doesn't really hold the personality and experiences, it just stores video data from the eyes and stuff.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up. It's just that you said it was also for optimal memory storage so I was wondering.
