Race:
TNK-W411 class robot of Aurelia, Construction Variant
Appearance:
Powers:
Gilger was manufactured in the city of Aurelia, an underwater city far below the surface of earth's pacific ocean off the coast of hawaii. Given that he was made in these conditions, he has a relatively sturdy frame, covered by multiple sheets of reinforced metal. In addition to being stalwart in nature, Gilger's hydraulics systems are capable of putting out an enourmous amount of force. Gilger also has two arm mounted laser cannons which are capable of "blowtorching" their way through several layers of... Well, practically anything that has a melting point.
Personality:
Gilger is proficient in the languages of English, Hawaiian, Sarcasm, Bullshittery, and Reformed Insultation. That is to say, he's pretty mouthy. Gilger always has something smart to say, and has basically no filter over what comes out of his central audial unit (wat humans call a voicebox). He's very opinionated about quite a bit of things, and won't hesitate to chime in with some witty or inappropriate remark at any point in conversation. Gilger focuses on bluntness more than sensitivity in his interactions with people and other robots. When it comes to wellbeing, however, Gilger puts the needs and safety of others above his own. He'd rather smash his way through a problem than think about it, and has found his methods highly effective.
History:
Manufactured in Aurelia, G1-7G3R began his mechanical existance as a construction robot. He was origionally designed to transport things between workplaces underwater, away from the safety of the pressure controled buildings that made up the city, but his creators decided his product line's frame was better suited to work, toil, and build the heavily sound structures of the important skyscrapers underwater. So Gilger did as he was told, and was a good button pushing automaton. This continued until about his tenth year of service, where he would be retired anyways, and shipped to some less gravitational demanding environment to work there. His construction site was attacked by a group of russian terrorists that didn't get along well with the US government.
Gilger decided that working somewhere else was less favorable than destruction, so in a split second decision, he had one of the organic workers there weld two industrial laser cutters to his arms in quite a permanent fashion. Out he went, to defend his coworkers and fellow machines. When all was said and done, Gilger had wreaked quite a bit of havoc, and his manufacturers realized that he had ascended his basic programming by putting his wellbeing above others, and actually making a descision for himself. The workers didn't know what to do with this self aware, and quite large, tank with lasers for hands, but they did know they had something special. Gilger's manufacturers retired him as a construction worker, as a bot without hands would not do much or fare well, and sent him off to the military.
There, Gilger waited. He was deactivated three years total, a kind of government secret to be awakened at a precise moment in time. Then, he was finally called upon. Some humans were mysteriously dying of unnatural causes at a specific location, and they decided that Gilger was just the robot for the job. One thing is certain, G1-7G3R definetely is looking forwards to being useful again.
Height:
2 meters, or 6 feet and 6.74 inches
Weight:
300 kilograms or 661.387 pounds
Other:
Given that his two laser cannons are where his hands should be, Gilger has difficulty handling quite alot of things. He relies on others to handle his matinence and other tasks he was not designed for.
Gilger is able to work in extremely high pressure environments, and water does not effect his performance whatsoever. He is however, vunerable to excessive amounts of concentrated heat, given that his chassis is primarily made of metal and metal alloys.
