"Well, if it isn't the bungling brothers Burnout and Bailing Circus!" -Doctor Ivo Robotnik, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

This is the SHINY, POLISHED thread for characters - mostly robots, with some demons and the occasional weird human mixed in - I play in this forum. As it turns out, it's really difficult to describe a robot's physical appearance (and drawing them is out of the question), so bear with me here OK?

[P.S. These sheets are quite outdated. If you want to know something about a character, especially ability-wise, I highly recommend you consult me before you use these sheets.]

Solenoid
The Sniper

Gender: Robot (she/her)
Species: AI Robot from the planet Venusia
Age: A lady never tells (pretty old though)
Profession: Hitman

Appearance: Solenoid's body is shaped much like that of an average-height human female. The main features differentiating it from that is the fact that her body is made up of various grey metal plates, with seams between them that can be seen if one looks closely. The plates curve to nicely match a feminine shape, and they usually have a light sheen. Located on, or rather inside, her back is a divot in which a small ball of light rests. Her face is unique in that, despite being made of plates as the rest of her body, some of these plates are made of a flexible metal and allow her to emote fully. Her eyes have purple, bionic-looking irises and black sclera. For clothing, she wears a red backless, sleeveless sweater, and a white sun hat with a black underside.

Abilities:
Marksmanship: Solenoid demonstrates incredible prowess with precision weapons, including ones that would otherwise be far too heavy for her.
Hand-To-Hand Combat: Solenoid is also highly agile and an accomplished kickboxer, allowing her to fight effectively in close quarters.
Guardian Angel: The ball of light in Solenoid's back is actually an angel named Cookiebite. Cookiebite can summon flashes of light to disorient enemies, grant a blessing to someone, or summon wings for Solenoid to fly with.

Equipment:
Bolt-action Sniper: A baby blue bolt-action sniper rifle that fires 5 bullets before needing to reload. The gun has a permanent blessing on it that causes bullets fired from it to act as if they are both silver and cold iron. This was given to Solenoid by Cookiebite as part of their contract. It is attached to Solenoid's back when not in use. It is highly accurate and damaging with a long range.
Railgun: A heavy, blocky, red railgun that can fire 2 tracer rounds semi-auto after charging once. It fires laser bullets that are highly damaging and melt through almost anything, but have below-average range.
Nintendo DSi XL: A maroon Nintendo DSi XL stored in a messenger bag slung across Solenoid's shoulder. Its features include communication by PictoChat, summoning Dr. Kawashima, taking photos, recording and playing back sound, connecting to the Internet. and playing games.

Misc: If Solenoid's hat is placed in a record player, it will begin to play The Millionaire's Holiday - Combustible Edison.

Dr. Changer
The Doctor

AKA: Changer
Gender: Robot (he/him)
Species: AI Robot from the planet Scalpendi
Profession: Immunologist

Appearance: From a distance, Changer appears to be an incredibly muscular man with pitch-black skin, a metal gas mask, and no legs, instead having a body that ends at the torso with the spinal column and some ribs hanging out. Closer inspection reveals that his 'skin' is actually made of thousands of strips of scrap metal, spray-painted black. Also, his gas mask is actually modeled after a V4 engine, and it revs up when he is enthusiastic about something. His eyes are featureless dark holes, and he usually has a stern expression. If one were to look inside Changer's torso from the bottom, they would see a thick cloud of dark particles and might be able to make out a chrome yellow sphere inside his ribcage. The former is nanobots, and the latter would be his energy core. Changer also has a black leather satchel slung across his shoulder.

Abilities:
Fear Core: Changer is powered by his Fear Core, meaning he gains power by being around scared people or scary things and can create conventionally scary objects/animals. Fortunately, as a doctor, this allows him access to a near infinite supply of scary hypodermic needles, filled with ‘medicine’. Other phobias he can invoke on command include ophidiophobia to create snakes, acrophobia to rapidly rise into the air, and astraphobia to surround himself with thundering lightning.
Healing: The nanobots holding Changer together are designed to heal and repair both humans and machines. As such, if Changer incurs damage it will heal over time. He can also use some of these nanobots to fill his syringes, allowing him to rapidly heal a target. Finally, Changer can program his nanobots to simulate a vaccine/cure to most well-researched diseases and afflictions, and if he doesn’t know the ailment he can stick someone who possesses it with a syringe to have his nanobots analyse it.
Throwing arm: Changer has an excellent throwing arm, allowing him to stick his syringes accurately at long distances. Generally, he’ll hold harmful syringes in his right hand and helpful in his left.

Equipment:
Hypodermic Needles: The needles on Changer’s syringes are designed to be very difficult to bend or break, as well as pierce both flesh and metal with ease, allowing Changer to even repair faraway robots by throwing them.
Injectables: Changer specialises in immunology, and he wants to know your immunities… and your vulnerabilities. As such, his satchel is filled with various toxins which he can put in his syringe to poison enemies. There are some simpler venoms which he has readily available thanks to his ability to create scary venomous animals, and some far more deadly, but also much rarer, toxins. Most are general venoms or toxins, some are anaesthetic, some are actually beneficial and intended to physically strengthen allies, and at least one is a fear toxin.
Some of these venoms can be boosted with nanobots to allow them to affect robots too.

"Laughter's the best medicine, so BAHAHAH you fell down." -Dr. Mario, Dr Mario WITH LYRICS

Misc:
Dr. Changer weighs 500kg. Every day, the ground beneath him is grateful he floats.

Gaul DeGalles
Code of Honour? Try Rule of Funny.

AKA: Gaul
Gender: Male
Species: Toon Human
Profession: CEO of HAMMERSPACE Co.

Appearance: Gaul is a 5-foot-4 blue-eyed caucasian male of a middleweight, low-muscle build with curly light brown hair, which is mostly hidden under a gold top hat with a purple band. He wears a waist-length gold jacket, and a white shirt under this with a purple tie. Finally, he wears gold trousers and black trainers.

Abilities:
Living Cartoon - Gaul is a living cartoon. This means that he can do a whole host of weird, wacky, implausible things, from healing perfectly after grievous injuries in a matter of moments, to surviving high-speed impacts and leaving a hole shaped exactly like him, to pulling objects out of thin air.
Toon Time: Gaul can also cause objects around him to act cartoonishly too. This includes being able to pick up and move a hole in the ground, deflecting a bullet by telling it it's going the wrong way, or even (
Marksmanship - Gaul is a fairly skilled marksman, yet usually seems to fail at catching small, innocent creatures.
Paintings - Gaul can enter paintings, photographs and drawings as if they were real. Things painted by him are also real... sometimes.
Light - Gaul is incredibly lightweight, and can be picked up quite easily even by those who are not particularly strong.
Insanity - Gaul is, for all intensive purposes, a certified insane joker. This has the positive effect of making it impossible to drive him insane, what with him bring firmly parked there already (though he can still manually be driven up the wall), it makes him that much harder to psychically control (unless your brand of psychic power works better on the insane), and god forbid you try and enter his subconscious (let's just say, you'll get treated like LeBron James. In Space Jam 2).

Equipment:
Paint Set: A set of paints. 'Clear' is one of the colours.
Money: Quite a lot, in fact.
Top Hat: Gaul's top hat. He can stuff himself inside of it
Gaul's Soul: The essence of Gaul's cartoonishness. If he faints, it leaves his body. Given it's basically the representation of his Toon insanity, this is not something you want to happen. When it does leave, it looks like an iridescent purple, transparent version of him. Rumour has it that if Gaul wakes up and his soul is missing, he'll be REALLY cranky until he gets it back.
Hunting Rifle: Gaul's favourite gun. There are many like it, but this one is his. Nothing special: (outside of his hands), just an old rifle with a glossy wooden finish. It is very accurate, though.
Hammers: What's a hammerspace without hammers? Gaul has a massive array of mallets for any situation, as well as various other plot inconsecquential items... and a hand mirror.

TA-Series Robots
Palette Swaps Have Never Had This Much Personality

General: TA-series robots are 2-metre tall androids with slender, light frames and sharp, angular plating which protects the limbs and gives the torso shape but is otherwise minimal. The plating, and the skeletal main body under it, are made of aluminium-II and iron-II respectively. These materials are infused with diamond and other metals to increase their strength and prevent corrosion.
TA-series robots also sport a helmet with a large screen for a head, somewhat reminiscent of Guy Manuel's helmet or a Pal MAX robot's head. The screen can display images, project holograms, store objects by converting them to data (a process known as flashing, due to the flash of light generated), and is compatible with most apps. While the glass can be cracked, it takes much more effort than expected and it will will gradually self-repair over time.
Embedded in each TA-series robot's chest is some kind of power source, usually a battery with a truncated triangular shape and glowing green markings showing a circle with three equidistant lines coming out of it. This battery, if it wasn't already switched for something else, is protected by a transparent metal that is removable either by a complicated and fidgety process, or by breaking it with a lot of force.
TA-series robots are as sentient as an AI can be, have incredibly fast reaction times, high processing power, and are slow to overheat. This does not mean they are smart.

TASBot
The Speedrunner

Gender: Robot (he/him)
Species: AI Robot
Profession: Professional speedrunner and occasionally streamer

Appearance: TASBot has the standard TA-series chassis, in a blue-and-black colour scheme. Instead of a battery, he has a large blue ball of energy embedded in his chest. TASBot wears a medium-dark blue football shorts and shirt with blue accents. On the shirt's back is the number 59 and the word "SPEEDRUNNER" in the place where his last name would be. The shorts have two straps, each holding a pistol.

Abilities:
Speed Core: TASBot has the Speed Core embedded in his chest, letting him move at incredible speed without tiring. His average running speed is 100 mph, but by speedrunning he can move and process information up to 200x faster. The Speed Core is recharged whenever it is moving at a sufficient velocity, and 100 mph is the speed at which the core is exactly 100% efficient (at lower speeds, excess energy is produced by TASBot's run, and at higher speeds, energy will begin to be consumed.

Equipment:
Bayonet Pistol: TASBot's trusty right hand sidearm. It fires 9mm with decent precision, but lacks range. A knife is affixed to the underbarrel as a bayonet, and a can of ice spray is stuck to the side.
Elemental Pistol: TASBot's shiny left side sidearm. It fires elemental bullets, as long as it is loaded with the correct element.

TALBot
Full Metal

Gender: Robot (he/him)
Species: TA-Series Robot

Appearance: TALBot has the standard TA-Series chassis in a dark-red-and-black colour scheme. Instead of a battery, he has a large green ball of energy embedded in his chest. TALBot wears red Timberland boots, khaki jeans, a baseball cap with the letters "NTSC" on it. and no shirt. His helmet deviates from the norm, having a more angular design with multiple polygonal screens instead of one curved one.

Abilities:
Violence Core: TALBot draws power from the wilful destruction of things or people, also known as 'violence'. He can also pull any weapon from his chest, with the only rule being that it has to have been designed for use as a weapon first and foremost.
Violence Absorb: TALBot can pull a shield around himself that nullifies the effect of any physical attack against him and converts the kinetic energy to electrical energy, powering him up. This has to be pulled up manually (though it doesn't need to be called), it drains power while TALBot is not being attacked so it can't be left up carelessly, it doesn't work against attacks that would deal no physical damage. and it fails completely if TALBot is grappled.
Teleportation: TALBot can teleport short distances easily. He can teleport long distances if required, but this is slow and inefficient, so he prefers to drive.
Hovering: TALBot can hover freely. Movement speed is limited while using this, however.
Driving: TALBot is a highly skilled driver and pilot.

Equipment:
Timbs: TALBot's boots. They're very expensive, and he will be angry if you get them dirty or creased.
TALBot's jet: A white Lamborghini Egoista. On land, it's a hypercar, but it can take off and fly at supersonic speeds, and can be (relatively) comfortably driven by anybody who knows how to drive a fighter jet.
TALBot's car: A silver Maserati GT Convertible MC. It's not as fast as the Lambo, and can't fly, but it's still sleek, loud, and makes its driver feel like an edgy boss.

TANBot
Internet Memer

Appearance: TANBot has the standard TA-series chassis in a white-and-grey colour scheme. He has the standard battery in his chest, and wears nothing except a dark grey sheath on the right side of his waist.

Abilities:
Leap: TANBot has incredible jumping prowess, able to leap massive distances at high speed. He can also briefly stick to walls and ceilings, facilitating wall-jumps.
Swordsmanship: TANBot is extremely skilled with a blade, and is capable of making especially short work of enemies when armed with one he's familiar with.
Doxxing: TANBot is well-versed in tracking people and cracking securities. His abilities are weakened if the target does not use the internet.

Equipment:
High-Frequency Blade: TANBot's sheath is home to an orange high-frequency katana, electrically charged in order to weaken the bonds of molecules around it, allowing it to easily cut through even diamond.
Memes!: TANBot stores some 'meming equipment' in his digital storage. This changes every so often, but regular items include: flashbang grenades, a GLOCK-17, a neatly folded maid outfit, a tin of mints, and a box of professional lockpicking tools.

"We are all pawns of something even greater: memes, the DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on." -Monsoon, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Taos
The Catgirl

Gender: Robot (she/her)
Species: TA-Series Robot

Appearance: Taos has the normal TA-series chassis with a pink-and-white colour scheme. She wears pink headphones with cat ears, a white tube top, a lacy pink skirt that goes just past her knees, and has a long prehensile pink tail (there's a hole cut for it in the skirt). Her helmet is often displaying some kind of emoticon.
She also has a white sheath on her waist.

Abilities:
Swordsmanship: Like her father, Taos is incredibly skilled with the blade. She prefers lighter swords.
Rhythm: Taos is a great dancer and can keep a perfect rhythm. This also manifests in her fighting style.
Dash: Taos possesses the ability to dash quickly in any direction. This has up to three uses in midair and almost no cooldown. Taos can initiate a wavedash via this ability.

Equipment:
Hidden Compartment: In addition to the storage of her helmet, the sheath on Taos' waist has a few not-immediately-obvious compartments on its side that she can store small objects in.
Headphones: Taos' headphones are wireless and can even pick up radio signals. An audio cable comes out of the left side if a button is pressed, in order to connect to wired-only machines.

"Beep. Boop. Meow." -Robo-Fortune, Skullgirls

Zeeland
Red Hot

Gender: Robot (he/him)
Species: TA-Series Robot

Appearance: Zeeland has the standard TA-series chassis with a bright-red-and-black colour scheme. He wears a red firefighter's outfit with reflective strips, as well as a red hard hat with golden badge to complete the look. A bluish ball of energy floats just behind his back, moving in a circular pattern centred on a point behind his chest.

Abilities:
Heat Core: The core embedded in Zeeland's chest, under his firefighter's outfit, controls heat. He can generate it, move it, or consume it for energy. It's like firebending, but cooler.
Time Core: The core floating around Zeeland's chest allows him to time travel, stop or slow time, and other things. It is the least energy efficient core, so spamming it isn't a good idea.


Equipment:
Outfit: Zeeland's hard hat provides him with moderate defense against blows on the head, and his uniform keeps him warm.
Firetruck: Zeeland has a set of transpacial car keys which spawn a firetruck. It's a relatively conventional firetruck, except that one of the hoses sprays gasoline.
