WROXER is an animated series that intertwines the worlds of boxing, mixed martial arts, pro wrestling, and emotional intelligence. The narrative centers on a group of young cyborg fighters, known as The Core, who harness the power of emotionally charged Orbs to combat the malevolent forces of The Void. Guided by legendary mentors like Evander Holyfield, The Core embarks on a journey to master their emotions, confront personal adversities, and protect the world from impending chaos.

 

​

Premise

 

WROXER is built on the premise that the survival of humans begins

with emotionally intelligent kids, the seeds of our future, which perhaps

may ultimately translate into machine learning/appropriate emulation by

example.

Back Story Expanded - see COMIC 

 

In a world where emotions fuel extraordinary abilities, the balance between light and darkness teetered on the brink. The CORE, a team of underdog superheroes, stood as humanity's last hope against the malevolent forces of the VOID. At the heart of this struggle were the Wroxer Orbs—emotionally supercharged remnants containing bottled-up energy from unexpressed feelings. These Orbs, when merged with Wroxer artificial intelligence, granted the ability to sense emotional distress and harness it to overcome significant challenges.

 

The VOID sought to corrupt the Wroxer Orbs, turning them into Void Orbs to spread negativity and despair among children worldwide. Recognizing the impending threat, the CORE embarked on a mission to secure the Orbs before they fell into the wrong hands. 

 

Their journey led them through treacherous terrains and intense battles, each member confronting personal demons and external foes. Robby faced his brother Zack, striving to redeem him from the VOID's influence. Johnny grappled with self-doubt, learning to trust in his abilities. Miko confronted her past mistakes, finding strength in her unique skills.

 

Guided by Evander Holyfield's wisdom, the CORE learned to channel their emotions, turning fear into courage and anger into determination. In a climactic showdown, they confronted the VOID's forces, their unity and emotional intelligence tipping the scales in their favor. 

 

With the Wroxer Orbs secured, the CORE restored balance, ensuring that the world's children would grow up in a world filled with hope and resilience. Their adventure underscored the profound truth: by mastering one's emotions, even the greatest challenges can be overcome.

 

The narrative unfolds with the Void launching a series of attacks, spreading fear and discord among populations. Cities once vibrant with life descend into turmoil as the Void's dark energy amplifies negative emotions. The CORE, under Evander's mentorship, embarks on a mission to restore balance. 

 

Their journey is fraught with challenges that test their emotional resilience. In one pivotal scene, Lucas confronts a manifestation of his deepest fears, but with Jonny's encouragement, he overcomes the illusion, reinforcing the power of trust and camaraderie.  

 

Miko's technological acumen becomes crucial when she deciphers the Void's method of amplifying negative emotions. By developing a counter-frequency, she disrupts the Void's signal, showcasing the synergy of intellect and emotional control.

 

DJ Holyfield's musical interventions play a therapeutic role, harmonizing the team's energies and fortifying their collective resolve. Monzai's meditative practices offer moments of reflection, ensuring the Core remains centered amidst chaos. 

 

The climax of the WROXER back story depicted in the COMIC is a direct confrontation between the CORE and The Chairman. Through a combination of strategic combat and emotional insight, the Core exposes the vulnerabilities within The Chairman’s facade, leading to a transformative realization that dissipates the Void's influence.

 

This expanded backstory highlights the CORE’s journey, emphasizing that true strength arises from the harmonious integration of emotional intelligence and diverse talents.

Underpinnings

​

Earth is on a constant journey seeking ecological balance (i.e. coexistence  of all species within their respective environments).  A hierarchical use    of earth's resources helps to create this balance with man being at 

the top of the food chain.

 

Some argue that artificial intelligence is on a path to the top

position by becoming smarter than humans through continuous

reprogramming and upgrading itself.  The fear is that, due to the fact   

it does not possess the trait of empathy, it will eventually view  

humanity as a hindrance, and ultimately seek to eliminate us,

​

Hence, the concept of programming an empathy module into machines,

whereby robots learn to emulate human emotional intelligence (i.e.  

simulation) as a means to preserve mankind.

• Human (IQ, EQ) builds Cyborgs (AI machines) to harness the power of comet remnant energy.  

• Cyborgs (AI) learn to analyze language patterns, and detect positive or negative emotions, such as anger, sadness, anxiety etc.  

• Cyborgs (AI) learn to interpret emotions through processing inputs like micro-expressions and subtle changes in facial features. 

• Cyborgs (AI) learn to mimic emotions, including empathy. 

• Cyborgs (AI) use synthetic speech to emit realistic emotions. 

• Human (IQ, EQ) learn from Cyborgs (AI) as Cyborgs become smarter than humans.  

• Human (IQ, EQ) gain respect for the power of Cyborgs.

• Cyborgs (AI) gain respect for humans as they learn that imitating emotions is no substitute for the power of human emotions as they truly cannot feel or understand them.   

• Cyborgs (AI) become devoted to humans, and yearn for humans, ultimately creating a new form of love and empathy.   

• Human develop an expansion of what it means to love, and even to be human - based on a mutual reliance between man and machine.
