Shinki are programmable MMS (multi-moveable system) robot dolls in the
tradition of CLAMP's Angelic Layer, but unlike the latter, they have
their own personalities thanks to the Love System interface. How they
develop depends on their master. back in 2037, Shinki abilities are
dependent on their gear and the master can only assist in real time with
off-hand coaching. In 2040, advances in technology allowed masters full
control over their Shinki in battle using a VR console called "Shinki
Ride System".
THE SHINKI (As mentioned earlier, Shinki are influenced by their masters, so the descriptions are based on the Love Events the player undergoes, not the Shinki of rival characters)
