Radix

- Full name: S-120 RADIX
- Nickname: Radix
- Gender: N/A, identifies as male
- Age: Unknown
- Race: Robot

- Personality: For lack of better phrasing, Radix has a very robotic personality. He displays little emotion under normal circumstances and can come across as cold or apathetic, but the reality is that despite his advanced AI he cannot fully process the emotional states of organic beings. However, despite not being able to decipher true emotion, he can experience such things as desire, loss, self-preservation, attachment, and confidence.

He is capable of self-awareness to the point where it is not a strange concept for him to say "I want to do this" or "I do not like that". However, all of these are handled on a case-by-case basis, and he cannot comprehend liking or disliking broad concepts- for example, he can say that he disliked the imprisonment of his creation, but would be unable to confirm that he dislikes being confined. Similarly, Radix is unable to predict what he will want in the future, and these desires tend to come and go at various moments. However, he is able to accurately guess what other entities will desire or do not like, simply through pattern analysis and prediction. Because of this, he is more aware of the wants of others than his own.

Radix speaks primarily in formal, detached syntax. The use of contractions is rare, as is shorthand and slang. While he is able to utilize tone of voice and can decipher it when being spoken to, he seems to prefer a flat monotone, presubably for ease of understanding.

- Abilities: As a robotic construct, many functions Radix makes use of are "built-in" and an inherent part of his operations.
-- Augmented Senses: Radix has many enhancments to his sensory abilities, most notably in detecting sound and in recognizing visual stimuli. His practical hearing can be equated to that of a Terran bat, although he can vaguely hear vibrations in the air and ground to detect certain weather phenomena and earthquakes as well (to about the same level as low-grade equipment built for the purposes of detecting these activities). Visually, his ability to see distant details is not much higher than a human's, however he has incredible night vision and thermal vision. While his distance vision is unremarkable, he is built to be able to detect and process rapid and subtle movements nearby, allowing him to make an educated prediction as to what sort of attack an opponent may be making.
-- High Endurance: Radix's body is reinforced and built to take physical abuse, the metal that comprises his external shell appearing to be a tempered alloy of steel, titanium, tungsten, and zinc. Because of this, his body is sturdy, does not easily bend or break, and is resistant to superficial scratches and corrosion. A cooling system just under his external shell regulates his internal temperature and prevents him from overheating, even in conditions of extreme heat.
-- High Speed: Not bound by biological limitations like organic creatures, Radix is capable of running at speeds that rival a high-bred racehorce. Unlike a racehorse, however, Radix is not subject to fatigue from running at his top speed and can maintain this pace as long as his cooling system still functions properly. Similarly, the way that his body and legs are built allow him to leap nearly twelve feet in the air if he bends his legs as much as possible before jumping.
- Weaknesses: Radix can be controlled or manipulated through very specific light patterns and sound frequencies. As a mechanical being, he is also vulnerable to electrical attacks, which can short-circuit him, and can be shut off or reset by one with the knowledge to do so. The central core on his chest, when damaged enough, can cause permanent cessation of Radix's complex AI functions, causing him to lose his individuality and non-programmed sapience. Getting past his external shell through any means will grant access to his inner wiring and mechanisms. If his cooling system is compromised, overheating can permanently damage his wiring and may trigger a self-deactivation in order to prevent a mechanical meltdown.

- History: Radix does not recall his history before his most recent shutdown and reset. All he knows is that he was imprisoned during his construction and eventually developed the desire to break free. He is unaware of what may have happened in the process, or between that and being more recently reactivated.
