Kaku

Misanthropic robot with a few literal screws loose. Snarky and generally nonchalant toward humans and their affairs, though they care more for some than they let on. Amnesiac for the first part of the story, looking for their memories (in the form of physical floppy disks) to understand themself better.

Can be careless when it comes to the feelings of others. Many concepts are foreign to them as an android without much prior exposure to the human race. Though their emotions are very sophisticated for a robot, there are some complex ones that they're not able to fully emulate, such as love and lust, as well as concepts they just don't get, like privacy and grief. Tends to ask very personal questions and get confused at the lengths people are willing to go for others.

A bit of a slacker, and easily bored, though some things do excite and intrigue them. Despite their loud distaste for humans, they care a bit for a few of them, like the ones they live with and their friends in the DnD club. Also gets along well with Harold.

Design Notes

  • Has "skin" the color of old 90s-era computers, with darker joints resembling those of a ball-jointed doll. Small screws indicate where their outer shell can be removed, exposing the circuitry and mechanics inside.
  • Has a US wall plug attached to the base of their neck, reaching down to their ankles. When plugged in they "fall asleep" and recharge, download updates, whatever else. The cable has cartoon physics and can loop around into shapes and wag if excited, much like a tail.
  • Eyes glow when powered on, they fade to grey when plugged in or powered off.
  • Has no blood so they can't blush or bleed, though they can cry due to cooling tubes
  • Has a blue tongue
