Sirus/Mecha
*** Name: Sirus (pronounced sigh-russ ) AKA Husky, but is only called Husky by Tsivil
*** Template: Mechanic and Astronomer’s assistant
*** Species: Mecha
*** Age: A customized older model assistant mecha, about 9 years old, but appears to be in his mid 40’s
*** Gender: Appears male
*** Height: 5 foot 9
*** Weight: About 170 pounds
*** Physical Description: Obviously been upgraded several times and is severely customized for the specialized work he does.
He wears workers clothes, very plain. They would be very comfortable if he were orga. He’s got plain brown hair, brown
eyes and a smile that is friendly but plain. His finger tips come off and hold specialized tools for the work he does, from
repairing computers and upgrading them to calibrating the main telescope. His left hand contains several screw driver pieces,
and his right hand contains wire cutters, antistatic charges and similar delicate operation tools. It is obvious that a lot
of love, care and money has gone into his customization and upkeep.
*** Background: Sirus has been working for Tsivil Joblowsky at the Black Hill Observatory for seven years. He was rescued
and upgraded by her and given the chance to work as her assistant in science. He is regularly inspected to insure he is deemed
a “safe” mecha because of his upgrades. He is a good companion of Tsivil and often goes traveling with her to other
observatories. His upgrades are unique in comparison to many observatory mecha, as he has a broad range of skills. Most observatory
mecha are limited to three or four highly specialized abilities.
Sirus is a mecha who had been bumped from owner to owner like a dog nobody wanted. His last two owners worked at a used car
shop and pretty much did what they wanted with Sirus, even letting thier drag strip buddies throw gasoline on him and lighting
him on fire, or cutting the mecha’s derma to test out his “pain” reaction. When they finally had enough of
him, they dumped him.
Sirus was found on the edge of the highway one night, as Tsivil was driving by the observatory. It was obvious that the mecha
had been dumped there and left for garbage. He was in such bad repair that Tsivil didn’t think she would bring him back
online, but she. Becuase of the name and number left in Sirus’borderline corrupted memory, she was able to track down
and charge the mecha’s last owner for something akin to cruelty to mecha and impropper waste disposal. THis started a
long and tedious court battle that dragged on for over a year. Unfortuanately she did not win her case. Feeling frustrated
and realizing exactly how much of an uncaring slime ball Sirus’ owner was, Tsivil devoted her time to upgrading Sirus
to what he is today.
*** Personality: Pretty aloof and very polite. Also a typical mecha. Is forever trying to repair things, to the point of obsession.
He is completely clueless to Tsivil’s humor, which is often harmless jests and teasing.
*** Objectives: He’s programmed to study and observe things. He’s paranoid about rust, dust, grit, rot and overall
disrepair of computers, objects and even other mecha. If he were an orga, he would be a neat freak!
Sirus is also very logic oriented. Calculations and physical domains are his domain. It’s in his programming, so he can’t
help it!
*** A Quote:
Several quotes come to mind :)
“Logic is the Ultimate Weapon”, the Autobot Prowl (Transformers)
“Clarity of thought before the rashness of action”, the Decepticon Shockwave (Transformers)
“Wax On, Wax off”, The karate teacher guy...I forget his name, from the Karate Kid (movie)
*** Special Quirks, Flaws, Abilities, Etc.:
Where do I start...heh. He’s a blatant neat freak, always touching things if there’s a speck of dirt, as he’s
trying to keep things in good working order. He does this to the point of annoyance, or at least according to his Orga companions.
The only one who seems to ignore this fault is Tsivil!
Tsivil keeps some game Skill cartridges available, so that when she wants some fun, she just slots them into Sirus’ spare
skill slot and she has an instant chess, or poker, or whatever game companion.
One of Sirus’ unfortunate problems is that he seizes up if something severely illogical screws with his cortex. Sometimes
over stimulus in a new environment can do this, but Tsivil has gotten a grasp on the problem and it occurs with less frequency
than it once did.
Unbeknownst to most people, is that Sirus is slowly going nuts. The reason to this is only known to the GMS and will be roll
played out at a later date! It is a possibility that his seizures are a symptom of things to come.
Sirus is highly customized with various astronomer related skills. They include telescope repair and calibration, computer
repair and set up, and some ability in astronomical calculations and study. He also has some skill in typing, as Tsivil often
needs him to record what she’s observing.
Sirus’ last two skill slots are filled with games (which Tsivil often removes, as it’s considered personal fun and
just uses up precious memory space) and a mysterious chip that Tsivil believes is more upgrades. Only the GMs Know what it
really involves.
