Name: Jindosh Prototype Clockwork Soldier

Gender/Preference: n/a, it/they, n/a

Age/DOB: constructed, 7 in 1855; no specific day or month

Faction: Independent, Patrols and fights versus crime

Family: Any other Jindosh Clockwork that still exist could be considered its 'family', but technically speaking there are none left but for parts here and there, and perhaps some unique units that were sold at auction residing in private collections

Height/Build: 8' at head without plume / sturdy, though with clear weak points

Hair: none / has a plume of feather-shaped metal as a decoration, copper, part of a headdress of an antlered, feathered lion-like face

Eyes: red optics, set into amberwood face plate

Appearance: clockwork frame with power supply and magnetics hidden below highly polished amberwood plating, with copper, steel, brass, and silver fittings; feet are metal with clawed digits for stability and a very strong kick; waist decoration serves as ventilation and heat sinks for the power supply on its back; legs and arms attached with magnetism rather than joints, though it's not easily seen; arms end in round knobs for attachments of other devices such as swords, guns, and shield units; back plate can be added with four extra limbs; has a voice that consists of recordings and splices of Kirin Jindosh's notes, and can mix and match these words to produce disjointed conversation

"This improbable creature... I can sense that it has a mind, but not its thoughts. It has the fractured commentary of a madman for a voice, but more of a conscience than the inventor ever had."

Skills and Occupation: originally designed as a prototype for a 'clockwork soldier' project, and discarded in favor of a lighter-weight and more specific design later. However, the programming it has was retained in a general fashion and this means that the Prototype will seek out invaders, crime being perpetrated, or other such activities, triggering defensive and offensive code. It can recognize friend from foe, and foe from victim - something that the next generation soldiers often had difficulty doing... It knows how to adjust its weaponry to provide nonlethal options when requested by allies. That doesn't mean it isn't extremely dangerous - it can accidentally hit things with both electrical power or its own back plate arms, causing significant damage. In Paragon City, it has made itself quite useful patrolling the streets for gang activity.

Residence: Currently in Paragon City, Rhode Island, Primal Earth/Twoarth, however it has a place tucked away in the Void as well - provided by the Outsider himself, where it recharges when it is exhausted

Notable Possessions: replacement parts, power supplies, and Kirin Jindosh's written and verbal recordings of its creation. Some of these would become incredibly valuable as 'the only one of its kind' though the thought of selling either itself or its production notes has never occurred to the Prototype. Well, it has thought of it, but never considered doing so. It has ethical concerns about what its 'new owners' might want it to do.

Personality: In as much as it has a personality, 'protective, loyal, and built to impress and intimidate' come close. It does have a strong sense of justice, protecting those which it sees as victims, though it is only marginally able to distinguish acting from actuality, so please don't bring it to an action movie...

Likes and Dislikes: it seems to have a proud air when it subdues criminals and is praised for it, and as such its algorithms have filtered toward nonlethal methods while in Paragon. Anywhere else, not so much. Doing a good job is what it was supposed to enjoy, it doesn't seem to 'thrill' to killing anything, but the hunt is where it definitely chats in Jindosh's voice the most. When prey eludes it, or when it takes damage that isn't easily repaired, the Prototype seems to offer itself condolences, disappointment, and even dismay.

Fears or Interruptions: the Prototype doesn't communicate very well, but it would actually like to do so. It only has a terribly limited amount of voice options, and if those are ever corrupted or damaged, it will never be able to convey anything. It does seem to fear losing control among allies, and clearly protects its power supplies on various missions - if they are damaged too badly to recharge back in the Void, it will simply cease to exist.
