A quick ref sheet for Pilcrow for Hetherev! I've never joined one of these kinds of groups before, so this should be fun! 8D

Name: Pilcrow (AIEU Mark 07)
Height: 6'4"
Age: 2.5 years functional (physical build comparative to that of a young adult male)
Gender: Male (initially unprogrammed)
Town: Kobekan
Personality: Curious above all, helpful, slightly naive. Takes orders well. Cautious and gentle with organic life. Excitable.

Is there anything you feel very STRONGLY that your character NOT be drawn doing?: Pilcrow is largely programmed to be non-confrontational and will only react to violence if organic ally life is threatened.

Brief History: AIEUM07 began as one of a series of low-intelligence sensory robots designed to gather information. Mark 07 was the first of it’s kind to be enhanced with an adaptive ‘thinking’ program. When the AI showed surprising success, it was outfitted with a prototype body capable of withstanding harsh environments.
Eventually, Mark 07 began developing traces of a rudimentary personality. It's 'heads up' display would project basic punctuation in response to external stimuli that seemed to replicate an emotional response. From there, the AI gained higher self awareness and began to interact with researchers in increasingly sophisticated degrees. As it showed no signs of violence and seemed to be even more efficient at it's job, the researchers monitored it as it progressed and even began taking it out to experience everyday human life.

Fun Facts!
- Named himself by displaying an image of a Blind P or 'Pilcrow' everytime he was addressed by his code until the researchers eventually caught on and began calling him by his 'name'
- Although he was offered the installation of a vocal processor, Pilcrow declined. Though the researchers never understood why, they were wary of the AI's newfound autonomy and didn't force it.
- He does, however, have the ability to emit 'warning beeps' and will occasionally whirr and click when processing information.
- Substance his body is comprised of has some strange, organic elements that Pilcrow is unable to identify. It is self-healing and exothermic and feels similar to human muscle.
- Pilcrow is entirely solar powered. If kept in the dark for too long, he will go into 'sleep mode' and essentially turn off until exposed to sunlight again.
- His head can light up!
- Tilde had initially been bought to use as a lab rat in another wing. Pilcrow wound up coming upon her first and snuck her free from her cage. She's lived in his pockets ever since.
- Shows an unexpected affinity for dressing in layers and stylish clothes.
