Lockton

• He has light patterns on his feathers (inspired by snow owl patterns). I usually simplify those a lot but it's perfectly fine if you want to make them a bit darker or lighter than on the ref, or change the look of them a bit.
• His face is based on an owl skull. Think of owl skull made of metal if you're having trouble seeing what's going on in the mech parts of him.
• Has opposable thumbs and is able to hold and use weapons and other objects. Could also keep his balance standing/walking on 2 legs but why would he want to do that
• His jaw doesn't move when he speaks. It's probably mostly for grabbing things

He lives on an alien planet with two major human cities seperated by a rocky, volcanic area - [BLUE], mostly made out of science facilities and populated by their employees and AI, and [ORANGE], a residential place for regular people. Both cities were struggling with pest that came from the volcanic region, called ruby locust, a well adjusted and hard to kill species of bugs that seemed to constantly grow in numbers and function like a hivemind. [BLUE] tried to control their population by creating an artaficial "natural" enemy for them in the form of fully self-sustainable drones. The plan backfired though, and it turned out that the bugs ended up merging with the drones and were not only still multiplying, but also got upgraded by the tech, making the problem even more urgent as they started to heavily damage the cities, ecpecially [ORANGE] since it wasn't as heavily protected and pretty much depended on [BLUE]'s tech. The scientists of [BLUE] were able to create a weapon that would deactivate the synthetic part of the upgraded bugs and hopefully at least revert them back to their original form, but that would also affect the robots from [BLUE], essentially killing them. The robots weren't so keen on dying and humans didn't want to accept their counter-suggestion of exterminating organic life instead. A conflict broke out and most humans from [BLUE] either got killed or kicked out to live in [ORANGE], which was now in ruins due to the damage caused by ruby locust. [BLUE] cut contact with [ORANGE] leaving it in anarchy, while they focused on protecting themselves from the pest rather than fighting it, and became arguably the safest place on the planet.

Lockton was built in [BLUE] as a guard or police bot. He and other bots were assistants to humans (mostly scientists), keeping peace in the cities, guarding people from this planet's dino-like animals, helping in general accidents etc. When humans came up with the electromagnetic pulse bomb idea to stop upgraded ruby locust swarm, all the robots including Lockton decided it was the time for mutiny. Lockton most likely ended up killing quite a few people to stop them from doing the EMP bomb plan and stay alive. After the revolt robots stopped being people's assistants and lived their lives however they wanted to. At some point Lockton needed to travel to [ORANGE] with a mission that he doesn't remember right now because he got assaulted by a group of bandits there and they took his armor, guns and memory card. The bandits also started to rebuild him, they covered him in feathers and wanted use him as a glider. They were about to reprogram him too, but he got away before they could do so.

Yuty found Lockton trapped on bandits' territory when she was sneaking in, trying to steal their stuff. She helped him escape, and then almost immadiately they got in trouble with Cass's crew and a huge dino-monster-thing. After Lockton and Yuty proved they're capable of fighting the monster, Cass recruited them both to join her crew which they unwillingly accepted due to not having better options. Now Lockton is helping the crew with their plan of returning to [BLUE], though the way most of the people treat him make him wonder if he should even offer his help to them still.
