### Backstory
Can a machine desire? At most, it is believed that they can only simulate what seems like "desire". Yet, some outlier exist through unconventional means. Bes is one of them.
After his creator disappeared out of the blue 5 years after his creation, he is left to fend for himself and an unfinished model of what is supposed to be his sister. Years pass by as both of them began to degrade from lack of care, left unattended in the gradually rotting house. However, Bes miraculously is able to still keep himself working, sustaining himself through the rules built within his internal protocols. He is able to keep everything good enough to work out. This goes on for another 5 years.
Then one day, a strange thing happened. He gained the ability to dream despite the impossibility of it. He first dreamed of a nightmare, of his initial creation and the loneliness that comes with his abandonment. Then after that, dreams of his sister, repeating endlessly throughout his sleeping state that just newly exist. From that recurring dream, comes a feverish desire to bring his sister to life.
These dreams jeopardize his "life" as they become noticed by a mischievous deity, unnamed and unbound by time and space. Finding interest in his existence, she branches out to his world and shares a strand of her near-infinite being to the dreaming doll, giving him "a breath of life"; a new kind of awareness that he previously did not have.
The Godmother, as the deity refers to herself, in his newfound realization, has gifted him with the conscience and heart close to what is considered "a human soul". This proves catastrophic for his internal making, as the human senses and mind that he now has are limited and entrapped to his frames of metal and fabric, incompatible with his body.
At first he feels like he should be angry, and several times had he attempted to claw out the "soul" from his inhuman body to sate the uneasiness in his new mind. However, whatever he did in attempt to get the "soul" out of his body is only met with futility. Even with how many times had he torn himself apart, his body always come back restitched and reformed by The Godmother. All his appeal and pleas for her to stop 'reviving' him is only met with deaf ears, and so is the same when he asks her to at least bring his sister to life.
As time passes, he gradually come to terms with how it is, even if he is bitter. Alongside with time, a new desire blooms within him. The want to become human. But is it truly what he wants?
### Personality
---
In average, Bes comes of as a very kind and calm person, even slightly timid towards new situations and strangers as his social life is pretty limited. While commonly skeptical at first, he easily warms up towards people who try to be kind towards him or does him a favor, regardless of the motives. He tend to get really excited whenever anyone wants to listen to him about his interests, and this usually end up with him putting out really long rambles to the listener.
He always try to keep up a polite persona towards others when he first meet them, referring to almost everyone with honorifics and last name (especially if they are older than him) and offering help if they look like need any (he would end up incredibly nervous and anxious if he ends up not being adequate enough for it).
However, it should be noted that his usual composure falters quickly when he perceives someone or something to be of potential danger towards himself. Even though he try to "always be in good faith of others", he does not take well to anyone that he assumes is intentionally provoking him or is actively unpleasant towards him. Referring back to the point about politeness, he would switch up to a first name basis if he no longer feels like he should keep up his politeness with someone.
His anxious and impulsive line of thinking sometimes cause him to assume and attack first before thinking more about the possible consequences that can happen. Even then, he also feel bad easily. If he ends up harming someone, most of the time he would always try to make it up to them after he regains clarity. If he can't, he will just run away from it.
Internally, he has a considerably naive worldview and sometimes lack the sensitivity towards experiences he cannot understand or have not experienced yet. This sometimes make him come off as insensitive or even unnerving in the way he presents his thoughts. He also has a hard time considering things that are not "clear-cut" and might need further explanation to understand it. Though this might make him appear dense, he is by no mean stupid. As long as he understands what he should do, he is surprisingly adaptable and will use the most of everything for his advantage as long as the right idea comes to mind.
It is also something to note that while he is usually lax towards losing, he can be a pretty sore loser in high stakes situation or when he really wants to win something. A lot of his personality and tendencies, especially the more neurotic ones, is a result of The Godmother's influence over his life.
