A sentient multiplayer bot, Vatar is the first true AI in existence. Programmed to know only the game world and servers that govern them, Vatar's perception of existence lasts from the moment of spawn to the final kill of the match. When the creators decide to test the limits of Vatar's capabilities, Vatar must come to grips with the newfound abilities and unfamiliar emotional bonds made.
