Description

This is Remote and Pest.
Remote, is a unique piece of ancient Sheikah Technology. (I guess I'll refer to it as "he" from now on) He was found during the recovery of other similar machines, like the Guardians 100 years before the events of BotW.
<---REMOTE--{{{
<---Model--{{{
Personal Adaptive Droid
After being discovered and rebooted by Robbie, and weeks of testing, no research could determine Remote's intended use. He demonstrated a variety of skills ranging from Military use, to simple construction work and even friendly social interaction. Due to this, he was dubbed a "Personal Adaptive Droid". Meaning his actions can be adapted based on his users needs.
<---Name--{{{
Remote gets his name from the method of booting up his system. When shut down, a compartment on his back can be opened into which a remote bomb of any style must be placed and detonated. Upon detonation the explosion will boot him up. He was named by Purah after she discovered this.
<---Gender--{{{
As a Machine, he is genderless, but can be referred to by any pronouns.
<---Age--{{{
Unknown
<---Size--{{{
8'5ft or 2.60 metres
<---Likes/Dislikes--{{{
♡
-Chasing birds and other wildlife
-Chollecting "treasure" [human junk]
+Sitting on his junk pile
-Exploring roadside ruins
-Pest, sometimes
⨂
-Extreme rain/too much water, rain is fun, but screws rust easily.
-Scavengers [trying to harvest his parts]
-Loud sounds [they confuse his sensors]
-Pest, sometimes
<---Appearance--{{{
At first glance, Remote appears to take on a shape similar to a Theropod dinosaur. He has 3 "eyes" on each side of his head, along with 4 plasma blades as "horns", like the ones on his tail. These will be retracted upon powering down. His body is composed entirely of Sheikah technology, including 4 Ancient Cores by each limb.
<---Life---{{{
Remote spends most of his time roaming the ruins of Hyrule castle and the land surrounding it such as the Ranch Ruins. He often scares travellers, means no harm, he just finds it entertaining. Often times he chases the local wild horses and pokes around nearby Shrines, as well as cause complete destruction by flailing his tail around, chopping trees into literal shards.
<---------------------------------------------------------------------{{{
<---PEST--{{
<---Basics--{{{
Pest is a piece of Malice that has been stuck to Remote ever since the return of Calamity Ganon. Upon discovering it, Remote has tried countless ways to try to get it off of his back, he tried rolling around, dragging himself through the dirt, grinding his back up against the ruined walls of Hyrule castle but Pest just wouldn't come off. Eventually Remote had accepted that Pest is practically a part of him, and has given up on getting rid of it.
<---Name--{{{
Over time, Remote heard travelers and passers-by yell "pest" at the malice covering the land. Remote, not knowing the meaning of the word thought the people used it as a name for the malice, in turn, he simply dubbed his newfound company "Pest".
<---Personality--{
Pest is about as far from hostile as you can get. He was meant to corrupt Remote, like it has been done to the Guardians and Divine Beasts, but as remote isn't just a mindless machine but rather seems to be somewhat "conscious" Pest wasn't enough to corrupt him, however now it is pretty much permanently stuck to Remote's back as a result.
<---Remote in Game---{{{
<---Finding and Obtaining Remote--{{{
Remote would be an optional companion, who could be obtained by the player in BotW.
Remote cannot simply be "found" he must be re-built. This is through a large shrine quest involving 3 shrines in which a variety of puzzles involving mostly remote bombs must be solved. At the end, rather than receiving spirit orbs, instead of a monk, the pedestal will have one of 3 parts for the taking upon it:
-Remote's Head
-Remote's Torso and Tail
--Remote's Limbs
When all pieces are obtained, the pieces must be taken to Akkala Tech Lab and given to Robbie for assembly. Robbie will ask the player to gather 4 Ancient Cores as well as 6 Ancient screws and 2 Gears as they are required for him to re-attach the pieces.
Once the ingredients are gathered, the player may return in 1 in-game day to find Robbie outside the Tech Lab along with Remote, fully assembled, but not powered on. Robbie will tell the player about "Something Purah would do to boot this machine up".
Now the player can either visit Purah to get a little background info on Remote and ask her about "Re-booting him" to wich Purah will tell the player to "simply insert a remote bomb into the compartment on his back and then detonate it", or instead of going to Purah, simply walk up to Remote with a bomb in hand. This will reveal the option to "insert bomb" and the compartment on Remote's back will open. Upon detonation a short animation sequence plays in which remote powers on. [After this, his icon will appear as a rune on the Sheikah Slate simply titled "Summon Remote".]
<---Attacks--{{{
Similar to Guardian Stalkers and it's other variants, Remote can use a beam attack which requires him to charge up first. This does min 5♡ aka 20HP damage, there's a 10% chance for it to do 10♡ so 40HP [This attack would only take place if Remote is outside of his melee range.]
In Melee combat, he uses a tailwhip. This attack does damage which is equivalent to that of the players equipped weapon.
<---Getting Around---{{{
When walking around, Remote will follow the player. He is about as capable while moving around as a horse, meaning he can't climb extremely steep hills, however unlike horses, when faced with a ledge, he is more than capable of jumping off rather than halting and refusing to move. [As a Machine he does not take fall damage.]
If the player crouches down and sneaks, Remote will do the same.
Should the player wish to leave remote behind at any point, they can "interact" with him and press "-Stay!" In which case Remote will adopt a sitting position and begin performing some idle animations. Interacting again, the player can say "-Follow me!" To which Remote will stand up and continue to follow.
When reaching a point where he cannot get up e.g. a very steep hill, he will dissappear.
Of course, he can be summoned back using his rune, but each time he is summoned he must be "re-activated" using a Remote Bomb.
<---What about Pest?--{{{
Well, should you go to Hyrule castle with Remote, a cutscene will play where Remote will approach a pile of Malice. Upon lowering his head, the Malice will stick to him seemingly dragging him in, but in the last moment, Remote yanks himself up, breaking the Malice aside from a singular one which has attached itself to his back. Remote will roll on the ground to attempt to get it off as Link watches on, a little bevildered. Eventually Remote gives up and drops to the ground in defeat giving out a series of annoyed mechanical huffs.
-end scene-
After the cutscene
[Pest will be Harmless towards the player]
<---Stats--{{{
Life Rating:
2500 HP
Attack:
[beam] 20-40HP [melee] matched with player
Additional Uses:
Mount
Hostility:
If the player hits Remote repeatedly until his health drops under 50% Remote WILL turn hostile.
<---Additional Uses--{{{
Yeah you read that right. A mount. *clap* SO when interacting, there will be two options available: "-Stay!" And "Mount". Pressing mount will result in Link climbing atop, standing onto Remote's back while holding onto two grips on the back of his head. After this, he can be used in the same fashion as a horse.
[His speed is equivalent to ☆☆☆☆]

I apologise if this is confusing?? I normally don't write down my character ideas because I keep them in my head so I find it hard to actually type it up :^/
Feel free to ask any questions to clear up any confusion you may have regarding this character :^]
