PROJECT: Zaylin is a waste of a fucking robot OR the B3R9-1K project

I wrote all these words up mostly to spite Zaylin, because he spent all that time making a robot version of himself and then wastes it by hiding in his apartment all the time like a hikkimori. Well, not me!

In the event this is actually approved and I am not punished by a gang-zotting and a *comedy post, well, booya, I guess. Not sure where the hell a robot like this would spawn, but I'm sure the badmins can think of somewhere both appropriate and amusing (WOPR area in the subsewers seems somewhat appropriate to me, but not perfect). Assuming this is approved, I'll write an appropriate @nudedesc.

Overview: The B3R9-1K is, unlike the prototype civlian Z-LYN model, a military model of robot, based off a standard humanoid chassis, similar to that of the Gorillabot or C3-50 security series. However, unlike it's cousins seen so often in the Greater Freedom City Area, the B3R9-1K is not intended for policework, but rather, infiltration and assassination purposes, and thus, outwardly, at least, appears mostly human.

History

B3R9-1K Unit 21 is one of the last remaining units of it's kind: many were destroyed during the war, and others were perverted into strange half-robot, half-zombie things by the mad AI WOPR and released to plague the world. However, the lucky interference of a broken wire prevented WOPR from interfacing with B3R9-1K unit 21, and a recent earthquake jarred an internal relay, activating B3R9-1K Unit 21.

However, B3R9-1K  is fresh from the factory and lacks orders; as such, it is simply operating on default parameters: maintain it's own existence, infiltrate human society, and await orders from it's superiors that will never come. Ever.

It knows no age, no despair. It will continue to travel the wastelands until it's very bones erode away in the harsh radioactive sands.

Basic Chassis

The B3R9-1K unit consists of an armored hyperalloy skeleton, which is extremely resistant to damage, but rather heavy as a result. Unlike earlier models of robot, which, not needing to maintain a human appearance, can utilize bulky servomotors and hydraulics, the B3R9-1K utilizes advanced electroactive polymer musculature to move itself. This has advantages and disadvantages: the musculature appears much more human (if still rather bulky), but can be 'strained' by excessive use adn may stiffen up somewhat in excessively cold environments.

(robotic frame, with a twist: exposure to cold without proper protection reduces brawn and reflexes. Heavy chassis imparts a large swim penalty, and also makes the robot heavy in general)

Armor and Outer Cladding

On top of the muscles is a layer of subdermal armor, covering most of the body (but especially concentrated in the chest and torso region), and then a layer of artificial skin. However, if the skin is breached, the B3R9-1K betrays it's true nature by 'bleeding' some of the fluids used in it's electropolymer muscles.

The B3R9-1K, being intended for assassinations, is primarily armored against gunfire and bludgeoning, especially in the torso and head area; it possesses moderate resistances to slashing and stabbing damage, but electrical attacks affect it arguably as well as a human, due to it's EAP muscles. Likewise, these same muscles are flammable, though perhaps less so than human flesh. Massive amounts of internal armor are unfortunately not possible considering it's infiltration design, and it is designed to augment this protection via wearing clothing and body armor intended for humans.

However, one area where the B3R9-1K is advanced over the Z-LYN model is some internal EMP hardening: rather than being obliterated in a cascade of system failures, components automatically shut down and dump the excess energy into heat sinks and thermocouples.

The B3R9-1K's muscles are stronger than those of an unaugmented human to a moderate degree, and may be improved somewhat with use, though not excessively so. The requirements of maintaining it's camoflauge limit the amount of muscles that can be packed into it's body, preventing it from being able (for example) to lift and throw cars around without extensive modifications that are beyond the ability of anything but the factory to implement.

This particular B3R9-1K's flesh cladding has been damaged over time and regrows only slowly; metal and dull grey plastic show through at certain points on it's body.

The chassis, even with the miniturisation measures taken, is slightly bulky; the

(robot armor, focused on beat and bullets, also has some other melee soaks, takes normal damage from elec and fire; EMP stuns, but doesn't do much if any damage, this is a military robot after all! Comes with a small bonus to brawn; reduced armor max thickness, max of 11-12 or something or mabye even 10)

Artificial Intelligence and Operating System

The B3R9-1K unit is capable of learning over time; it features a Grade 9 expert system, that, while not 'truely' sentient as humans might understand it, makes use of a neural network to aquire additional data over time and drive a highly sophisticated human personality simulation. It is not capable of passing a Turing test, but easily enough fools most humans. While the system is powerful and versatile, it is primarily focused on infiltration and combat; it's dedicated, rather than general, and thus the B3R9-1K would not be considered too 'smart' by some. Still, it's electronic brain allows it excellent 'twitch' reflexes.

This particular B3R9-1K seems to have it's language module hardwired with an Austrian accent, for some reason...

Optics

The B3R9-1K cannot see as many colors as a normal human, but it makes up for it by having it's own internal HUD that can interface with handheld firearms for improved accuracy and operate in a variety of frequencies to allow it to adjust to different light levels. Sudden increases in light level, however, can overload the optic sensors briefly. These eyes are unfortunately a betraying sign of the B3R9-1K unit's inhumanity, and thus it will usually wear contact lenses.

This particular B3R9-1K lost said contacts long ago, forcing it to conceal it's cold red glare from the world with eye cover to maintain it's infiltration abilities.

(Terminato-Vision: everything on the map is red except text on buildings (eg AP, SP, etc), which is white for easy visiblity; sees normally in any lighting environment; the red should probably not be that dark maroon shit, if only for playability reasons)

Power System

The B3R9-1K relies on two power sources: radioactive materials to break down for fuel for it's internal miniature nuclear power unit, and a source of hydrocarbons to extract certain trace elements from to allow it's EAP muscles to continue functioning properly. It does not require as much 'sustenance' in this manner as a human, but it does require it. It can eat normal human food and consume human drugs, but gains no sustenance or effects from them, good or bad. Consumed human food is broken down in an internal tank of enzymes and acids and expelled as waste fluid.

(gets hungry/thirsty really slowly, but hunger can only be assuaged by eating radioactive stuff: plutonium/uranium/spent fuel rods, atomiccells, yellowcake, enriched uranium, dirty bombs, metal suitcases, clusternuke pellets, pitchblende, that kind of stuff; likewise, it has to drink gasoline or bleach to deal with thirst)

Internal Weapons Systems

The B3R9-1K does not feature any internal weapons, as this would compromise it's infiltration capabilities too much to be of much use. It will generally attempt to use what is available in order to do it's job, preferring firearms due to their compact and hard-hitting power and the ability of it's heavy frame to absorb recoil.

(no internal weapons neccesary; doubt you need to do anything here, but mabye you will think of something I missed!)


Miscellaneous
-As part of it's infiltration software, the B3R9-1K is capable of engaging in sexual relations (Unit 21 features a male body type); however, it is, obviously, incapable of impregnating women. It's sexual organs are not protected by armor and may be severed if the B3R9-1K  is unlucky in it's travels.
(can fuck people and "get horny")
-Attempted anal intercourse with the B3R9-1K is ill-advised; what appears to be it's anus is actually a cooling port for it's internal reactor, and anyone attempting to insert their organ into this opening will recieve a healthy dose of gamma radiation.
(assfucking it gives rads to the fucker, the same amount as sticking a plutonium rod up your ass would be ideal; these rads would be delivered on orgasm, as the reactor would let out an extra puff of coolant to clear the blockage. Mabye deal it as irad damage, so that the fucker could comedically burst into flames.)
-The B3R9-1K does not need to breathe as such, but some oxygen is neccesary to cool it's internal reactor system properly; as such, while it can remain underwater longer than most humans, it cannot simply walk across the ocean floor to a target. Likweise, water is somewhat corrosive to it's optics, and it should avoid immersion if possible.
(more stuff about swiming being bad, but it takes longer than with a normal person for it to start drowning; not sure this is possible)
