Appearance



Eyes: There is nothing underneath those 'glasses'--they're his eyes, so to speak: he can see visible light like humans, and if he can ever figure out how to unlock it inside his processors, has access to infrared vision.
Skin: 
Peach, almost tan. Has some wrinkles, as if he is an aging man.
Hair: 
Greying black, he usually keeps it shaved. Receding hairline.
Body type: 
Fit, but almost lanky.
Special notes for Node's appearance: 
His facial expressions-- what can be seen, anyway-- look pretty severe on average (resting bitchface). 
The lower part of his face is actually unfinished work on his master's part; he has no mouth or actual nose underneath the apparent bump.
More unfinished is his thighs, legs and feet: though he often covers them up with his clothing, the parts are bare-- no skin or muscle simulation whatsoever-- cold, dark teal metal that is extremely thin and spindly compared to his finished skin-parts.

Clothing, piercings: He enjoys wearing casual clothing-- jackets, pants and boots are a favorite even though his temperature matrices have been offline for decades. High-waisted pants of all kinds are the most comforting for him (he sometimes rolls the waist, loosely, so they fit lower)... He owns a few pairs of heavy duty overalls/mechanic suits, too.
As for piercings, Node has only one nipple piercing, on his left.

Mannerisms: Unordinary and human-like when his circuits cooperate with him.
Obviously has a great grip on everything-- not clumsy, if ever.
Has a bad habit of clenching a fist when someone/something is aggravating to him.
When short-circuiting, it's hard to see him without a grimace (though he already looks pretty pissed, on a good day). One hand always at the ready, in-reach for a gun.

Personality



  • Node can be a bit of a scoundrel now that he's back online, barely skirting on the line of laws for androids, but if you're unlucky and catch him on a day he has a little short-circuit, he'll get very hairpin-trigger chaotic and go all Judge Dredd on your ass. lol
  • It's pretty obvious that he feels 'lost' on some deep level. He goes with the flow but it all seems forced.
  • Gets annoyed easily but won't admit to it.
  • Because of his programming, he is a great liar.
       ...He also lies often, though that's less his own personality and more of the predisposed coding of his creator.
  • A major sleaze! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

History



  • Node is a droid built by a woman long-gone from this universe. Node was her legacy that was forgotten all-too easily: once was a perfected, keen bodyguard always at bay to protect and serve--- for a price, or only for his master..
  • Centuries have passed and made Node into a careless, callous droid who wanders off into trouble too often.
  • He works at a portable food station, and while it's boring for him, he attracts a lot of customers for the business due to his flourishes and tricks while cooking. Little do they know it's because he has, somewhere in the back of his positronic brain, the coded attributes for gun-play flair and quick drawing. 

Abilities



Unique Abilities

  • Android constitution: He can feel most things that humanoids can, temperatures not withstanding (and this is only due to his dormant period shutting them offline).
    Liquids aren't an issue for him in any manner-- but he cannot produce liquids (though he does spout oil when cut deep enough).
    Has the lifting strength of up to 350 lb.s.
    Can he can taste, but clearly has no mouth-- he just has the receptors for these sensations/flavors along his teal-colored faceplate, where his mouth would be. It's clearly not necessary. The same for sleep (he can dream).
  • Android parsing: This rare, one-of-a-kind (or so one would assume) model was made with the intention of protecting and serving as delicately as possible for any potential customer. Because of this, Node can 'read'/see things most people can't and work with it accordingly. Body temperatures, room temperatures, object temperatures... Nightvision, UV lighting, etc... Heights, weights, masses, etc... [A close enough example of this is the UI of the Terminator in the Terminator franchise.]
    The only thing he can't do is see through things.
  • Upload, download: The deepest of android abilities-- clever 'droids can access hidden, strewn bits of data throughout the FC's networks. It's a great way to get what you want without the effort. [Think like the Matrix franchise, where the characters can 'download' skills in seconds.] 
    Node rarely can work out how this goes, and has only accessed information once since returning online. ...He was an idiot and used it to download gunplay routines he already had stored in his matrices and left random bits of useless information in return.
Skillset

  • Gunplay: Node is a master at handling and manipulating guns with his agile hands. Naturally, he can dual wield handguns with no issue. Due to his android strength, he is also capable of dual wielding even heavier guns (though it looks funny and whether he wants to admit it or not, he doesn't want to be seen doing that sort of thing unless in necessary circumstances).
  • Quickdraw: Goes hand-in-hand with gunplay. Do not test your luck with this 'droid and guns. Clearly inhuman reaction times, and can often appear 'early' when drawing a gun at will, but it's just his extremely precise programming.
  • Electronics: Naturally, Node is self-sufficient and this is due to his general understanding of circuitry and electronics. That's not to say he's all that great at it-- he's learning as he goes, ever since he came back online.

Trivia



  • Has a habit of muttering "processing..." when his body overheats. Overheating can occur at random, and sometimes leads to short-circuiting.
  • Node was inspired by one of my favorite comic book 'protagonists', RanXerox. As much as I love Ranx's design, I didn't want to rip off of him, and toned him down in terms of appearances. The only similarities these two share now is being androids, having female 'masters', and having extremely questionable morals... That and the glasses-eyes. Couldn't resist. lol
  • This used to be the original design that led to Human!Node. Unfortunately, I grew wayyyy more attached to the human version so now THIS Node is the AU version. hahahaha
