Relic

Relic is the agent people actually talk to. It runs eight separate Discord bot identities from one codebase, and underneath the conversation sits a deep per-server simulation: currency with cross-server exchange rates and tax brackets, companies with staff and docks and trading ships, mines, housing with furniture and tenancy, provinces, a sports league with fixtures and cup brackets, and a finance committee that takes proposals and votes on them.

On top of that sits the personality layer. Each guild gets its own identity, temperature, slang and behaviour, with persistent memory and an emotional model, plus a freewill mode where Relic speaks without being spoken to. It joins voice chat, segments on a second of silence, transcribes with a warm Whisper process, answers, and replies in a cloned voice trained on a sample you upload. The wake word is its own name.

It has been in production long enough to have scars, and they are written into the code. The process manager’s shutdown timeout is raised to fifteen seconds because player-state saves do not finish in the default 1.6. Memory allocation is pinned because Skia’s off-heap use across worker threads pushed resident memory to nine gigabytes against a 93 MB JavaScript heap. The restart backoff exists because a crash loop once produced 377 restarts.
