Did you possibly know any other Biografts models?

Mission sits with its back against one of many scrap piles that decorate the area. It fidgets with a cable on the ground while it shivers, fumbling the frayed wire ends with trembling hands.

When the message comes in, his movements pause. It's hesitant for a moment, then emits two low beeps — possibly signalling a response.

"Do not remember. There— some parts around this place. Nothing is awake."

A message, albeit short. A reach for something, a hold in this drowning disorientation.

Hihihihihihi first rp ask blog of mine! Mission as a character + this blog in general are owned by @these-secondhand-wings ! Meee :D

Here you can find the rules and boundaries for this blog, and below, the rundown of this funky dude's story! Please review these before interacting if possible :]

RULES / BOUNDARIES

- No NSFW. Ever. Romance is okay but will probably not be reciprocated!

- OOC interactions welcome!! Give the robot a cookie! He can't eat it, though.

- If interacting in character, please be reasonable! You can talk, ask, poke the robot, just be courteous of the nature of the blog and please don't powerplay.

- Art is a solid maybe! Most will be cleaned up response sketches, if anything. I struggle lots with creative motivation right now.

- Tread lightly. The owner of this blog is a DIDsys with an introject of the mentioned character, albeit separate from the blog. We will be uncomfortable answering and interacting with some asks.

- Keep in mind interactions will be outside of the aforementioned junk yard after a certain point. I have a few plans for the blog, please respect that!

- You are welcome to post code translations in the notes, tags, replies, etc. :) Those will be plenty.

- IC will be written like a story page. IC codes will be in purple text. OOC stuff will be in blue and parentheses.

- Tags for now are "I don't know why I bite ; MISSION" (general ic blog tag), "Transmission received; MISSION" (answering an ask), and "Visual input detected ; MISSION" (answering an ask with art)

And now, the show you've all been waiting for!

Story and references will be below the cut.

Mission.

A custom Biograft model created to be a guard dog. Up to date with the latest in attack technology. A pricey choice, for some, but worth it for the protection it offers for the buyer. Or, in this case, the buyer's child.

Mission came into the Inpherno with one distinct instruction in its coding. "Protect them at all costs." And protect it did. Its owner's closest friend was disposed of immediately when proven to be a threat. A machine designed to kill will do precisely that, but a machine designed to protect needs to be much more complex.

Gentleness was never Mission's strong suit, but it tried its best when it came to the owner's kid. It kept an eye on them at all times, but it also let them count its spikes and play with its horns. It would trace the texture of the child's palms and ask questions about their day. Maybe it wasn't programmed to be gentle, but a bond was made. Its owner could only hope such things would motivate it further.

Unfortunately, the subject of Mission's protection gained lots of attention for the unusual method of safety. Their gear was highly sought after already, but now their wealth as well. Some were deterred, others took this as a challenge. Mission knew this well. Mission never failed.

And with this in mind, one must ask: Why don't these things ever come with a failsafe?

One fatal flaw in Mission's coding would be its downfall. It was never designed to fail. Not once had it been considered how this guard dog might snap at the wrong hand, given the right situation. So when it lost sight of the kid during a hunt? It flipped its lid.

And that's how Mission found itself draining battery in a junk yard, with a bullet lodged in the back of its metallic skull.
