Description
ohNEST is a robot. Style-wise, he's rather old fashioned, though in actual design, he's rather top-o-tha-line, as far as robots his size go.His body is made of a semi-malleable metal which, while not as strong as such material as titanium, is capable of taking a very powerful impact and bouncing it off itself by way of crumpling slightly under the blow, then instantaneously popping back to original form.
On the back of his torso is an opening into the vast, all-purpose compartment within. From this compartment, ohNEST can utilize many weapons and basic tools* [such as power tools and anything basic you might find in a tool-kit]. It also contains a set of nuclear propulsion jets which can be used for flight or simply a speed boost. These, however, use up a substantial amount of energy and cannot be used for more than a few seconds at a time. The most practical uses would be for quick dodging or a good boost to a high area. For ever one minute of use, they take about an hour to recharge, though etra power can be stored for them if it is drawn from other components [the same goes for said other components].
ohNEST's hands feature several distinct features, the first being the All-Purpose "Ninja" Slots. There are three slits in each of ohNEST's hands, each capable of producing various small weapons, almost exclusively meant for long-ranged combat*. ohNEST, however, is not meant to specialize in such a manner of fighting, and as such, all weapons are small and generally not excessively effective. The only exception to this, of course, are a pair of small mounted lasers, one designated to each hand. Each is capable of producing a thin, yet powerful beam of concentrated light at approximately 15,000 degrees fahrenheit at a range of up to 300 yards. As with his jets, the lasers use up much energy and take some time to recharge once used.
Another feature of his hands, as well as his feet, are his fingers are toes, all of which are made of a type of malleable rubber-like material. They are capable of stretching, shifting, melding into each other, and hardening into almost any shape. This is very useful in creating makeshift tools and weapons on the spot.
Everything else is either addressed to my liking in the picture, or will come up later.
ohNEST's personality, to his creator's ire, is not one of a fighter, but rather of a curious and innocent being who just wishes to learn. His sole personal goal for this trip is to discover new people and experiences for himself, form his own definition for the world around him, determine what "life" truly is, and find out what his place in it is. Ideally, he would like to do this without any sort of conflict, and he will try his best to make that work out, but he understands that if anything is to happen to him, he may never get to learn what he wants to learn, and for this reason he may have to fight to protect himself. Of course, at least at first, he is fighting simply to defend himself, and is not truly set on neutralizing his opponent. this puts him almost exclusively on the defensive, which could possibly be taken as a weakness.
At the beginning of the tournament, he is only roughly a week old, but has more "textbook" knowledge than any human alive. He doesn't necessarily utilize all this knowledge, but when the situation arises, he will. Because of this, he has an in depth knowledge of certain combat-useful subjects as anatomy, martial arts, and mechanics.
While many would see this knowledge as inexpendable and amazing, what he seeks is a more philosophical, and perhaps spiritual, wisdom.
