Yesterday, at the same time as the AirDrop of the 9th Special Rare card “the SIT” from Cross The Ages Season 2 of Mantris, we received the 10th AirDrop of SR card with the character of Souleiman the inventor of mechanical implants and maybe even the (SIT) Ssystem Iinterconnected from Ttreatment.
This is the first time this has happened, two SRs on the same day.
No doubt the consequences of a schedule disrupted by the events that are coming up for the month of May.
Souleiman was raised by his mother, Mirla, and never knew his father who had passed away before he was born. He was born and raised in a wealthy neighborhood in Mantris. Although he had no father figure to influence him or draw inspiration from, Souleiman was fortunate to have a mother who was willing to make any sacrifice and spared no effort for her child's success.
She used all the means at her disposal to put herself at the service of her son's success. In order for Souleiman to have a happy childhood, she had to give up her life as a woman. For all these reasons and for his deep love for her, Souleiman always respected this courageous mother and was grateful to her.
Mirla, a single mother devoted to her child, pursued a career as an engineer herself, eventually becoming a production operator for ROMA. So she always encouraged her son to pursue his dreams.
Souleiman, who understood very early on the importance of bringing his inventions to life, built a private laboratory in his basement, to be able to carry out his own experiments on recovery robots, to which he applies and designs autonomous AI systems. In the hope of being noticed for his talent, and of evolving in the position he occupies at ROMA and accessing more responsibilities.
For Souleiman, the realization of this dream is the highest reward he can have. Will he succeed in reaching his Goal? What would happen if he didn't succeed?
Standard Version
“Motivation, Mastery and Success”
In the standard version From the map, we can observe Souleiman at work in his Lab. There is absolutely nothing that can capture his attention to this point.
When Souleiman is creating in his lair, he is in his element, imperturbable.
This cybernetics prodigy works tirelessly on his latest creation. The room vibrates with the soft hum of machines and the intermittent beep of monitors displaying lines of code. The air smells faintly of oil and ozone, as if to testify to the countless hours spent tinkering with mechanical components and electronic systems.
Focused and determined, he stands before a worn-out metal robot chassis, a model repurposed from a previous generation. He meticulously attaches sleek, cutting-edge actuators and sensors to it, upgrading his outdated systems with the latest chips and devices. The walls of the lab are adorned with charts and diagrams that describe the complex neural networks and algorithms that will bring this robot to life. He secretly hopes that his invention will be valued at its true worth by ROMA.
Assisted by the articulated arms of his computer, he calls with one hand a small device that engraves a series of complex codes. And with the other hand, he fixes with a few skillful taps the printed circuit that downloads the program into the heart of the robot, then he watches the sleeping systems of the machine come to life. This is his favorite moment.
The once obsolete robot now comes to life under his expert hands and to his great delight. Endowed with extraordinary abilities, and equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, Souleiman, thanks to his relentless quest for innovation and his all-consuming passion for his job, is about to conquer the world with his creations.
Alternative Version
"Ambition and Advanced Technology"
There alternative version of the map, Souleiman still shows us in his spacious and ultramodern laboratory. He stands proudly in his technologically advanced exoskeleton, a testament to his appetite for cybernetics.
This exoskeleton, perfectly integrated into Souleiman's suit, increases his strength and mobility, allowing him to interact directly with the life-size holographic prototype hovering in front of him. His prototype is a marvel of engineering, benefiting from the latest advances in robotics, materials science and artificial intelligence.
Souleiman's holographic screen display, illuminated with its soft glow, shows intricate drawings and data sets of his latest prototype in progress. The atmosphere charged with excitement is evidence that he is on the verge of a significant breakthrough.
Souleiman’s eyes, illuminated, move from the holographic representation to the physical components scattered on his desk. With ease, he manipulates the prototype design and with subtle gestures and voice commands. All in a coherent whole. While he works, he forgets everything, it is his moment of escape.
This is truly his Ambition since childhood, if only his superiors would notice. This scene is a testament to his relentless quest for knowledge and power, as well as the collaboration to push the boundaries of technology.
Cross The Ages - Self-Confidence and Hard Work are the Keys to Success!
In conclusion, these two scenarios perfectly illustrate the determination and passion of Souleiman and his brilliant mind in the fields of cybernetics and robotics. The first scene, which shows us Souleiman's underground laboratory, illustrates the inventive mind of a young budding engineer.
Driven by curiosity and ambition, Souleiman uses recycled robots and software he designed himself to create innovative AI-related functions, striving to outperform the units he works on at ROMA and secure a place among the company's decision-makers.
The second scene introduces Souleiman, a seasoned researcher, standing in his ultra-modern laboratory, surrounded by advanced holographic technology. Wearing an exoskeleton, Souleiman interacts with a life-size holographic prototype, which reminds him of the past efforts and sacrifices of his devoted Mother. Together, they have shared so much. In fact, it is she who is at the origin of everything. She is the one who gave him the passion for various cutting-edge technologies, and it is she who taught him to push the boundaries of robotics and materials science.
Both stories highlight the relentless pursuit of knowledge, innovation, and the human drive to create and improve, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, determination, and perseverance.
Cross The Ages encourages us through these cards to never give up.
When you work hard and persevere, you will eventually get there.
Artist of the card "Souleiman"
Khalyd Mukhtar, better known as "Khalid M", is a talented concept artist and illustrator from Indonesia.
As part of his partnership with Cross The Ages, he played a crucial role in creating visuals for the Mantris series. He is the standard and alternate Mythic card illustrator for the character Hassan.
He also took charge of designing Souleiman's Special Rare character card, in which he brilliantly transposed his vision of a complex and hard-working character, imbued with a deep passion for cybernetics.
This creation demonstrates his ability to design characters that capture the imagination of collectors, making his works particularly attractive and relevant.
