The Maschinenmensch was created by a scientist c alled Rotwang at request of Joh Frederson\, the master of the city called Metropolis. The original form of the MAschinenemensch is a neutral humanoi d form. The master guides the scientist to give the Maschinenmensch the fo rm while opposite intention of a woman named Maria who is a community acti vist and labor leader in love with the Master's son. The Maschinenmensch t urned into a gynoid or a feminine robot\, looks like Maria and raises havo c with the laborers and stirs all communities in the city: the cathedral f ollowers put the monk Desertus on the cross\, the City of the Dead at the bottom of Metropolis where the poor people work and congregate are guided to destroy all the machines which make the city work endangering their own children\, the Club Of the Sons for the aristocracy riling all men and an gering all women create total dissention at the top\, the night club Yoshi wara dwellers are led by the Maschinenmensch wildly into the streets. Amid st the chaos the Maschinenmensch was ordered to make in the guise of the h uman female Maria\, the android is burned alive.\nYour task is to write a tale inspired by The Maschinenenmensch from Metropolis. A legendary androi d monster. But what if it was made to look like Freder\, not Maria? What i f it betrayed its programming and acted differently? What if it was made i n a quiet little village?

What if the Maschinenmensch inspired the Maschine nehund\, who has its own tale?\nFrom making an alternative world version\, to adding unknown elements to the character\, you are free to imagine thi s public domain character\, how ever you want.
