Backstory

Can a machine desire? At most, it is believed that they can only simulate what seems like "desire", yet it is not without gait as it is only what is believed to be how desire would develop inside a machine by beings that are not machinemachines in the first place. 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 sistersister. and yearsYears pass by as his body began to degrade from lack of care,care and so is with his sister, left unattended other than with him in the gradually rotting house.

He goes on with his internal protocol, just keeping everything enough to keep himself and the house running, until one day he somehow dreamed. He dreamed of his initial creation and the subsequent loneliness that comes within the confines of his existenceexistence. right now, and fromFrom that dream, comes a desire to bring his sister to life. 

His dream is then noticed by a curiousmischievous being,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 beingdeity refers to herself, in his newfound realization, has gifted him with the conscience and heart ascloser humanto asa ithuman. comes. And thisThis is 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. 

At first he feels like he should be angry, feel a deep fury for being how he is now. Wantingtempted to claw out of his inhuman body to sate the uneasiness of the numb feeling encapsulatingthat encapsulates his new mind. Yet, he cannot bring himself to feel so, and only a new desire blooms within him, that is to become as human as he can and fulfill all that he wishes for without help from The Godmother. As long as he could.


 

Personality


In average, Bes comes of as very calm and kind, even slightly timid towards new situations and strangers. While commonly skeptical at first, he is very easy to warm up towards people who try to be kind towards him or does him a favor, regardless of the motives. However, it is also as easy for him to feel threatened and provoked by the opposite. His calm composure tend to falter quick when he perceives something to be of potential danger towards himself. His impulsive line of thinking usually cause him to attack first before thinking more about it. Though, after regaining clarity, he would always try to make up for any harm he cause if he can find a way to. If not, he will just run away from the problem.

 

He has a considerably naive worldview and sometimes lack the sensitivity towards experiences he cannot understand or have not experienced yet, which might 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. So is the nature of the "human-like awareness" imbued into him.

Abilities


Piercing left hand

Unlike most of his body that is covered by a layering of fabric, his left hand is skeletal-like with lanky fingers. People tend to assume that it is dangerous because of it's sharp-looking ends, but the biggest problem lies in the fact that the ends of his left fingers are pretty blunt. While he does use it to pierce, it is not a clean-cut pierce as he needs to put more force into it to actually pierce something, causing an unclean and forced cut. 

This move is sometimes paired with using his icepicker as a mock weapon, as he leads on the other party into believing that he is going to attack them with the icepicker before attacking them with his left hand.

Glass-Bottle Hit! (and Many More Item Switches)

He hits his opponent with his glass bottle or anything else he has previously stored in his suit. That's it.

Note that he is unintentionally a hard-hitter as he does not have a good measure of his own strength a lot of times. 

Numbness

Being a doll, he cannot feel pain or any kind of tactile sensationsensation. atWhile all.he Herather hates being unable to feel anything, he uses this to his advantage,advantage asa helot of times. He would consciously rip out a part of his own body as means to take his opponent off guard when he is cornered. However, the biggest drawback of his numbness is that sometimes he would not realize if something has somehow latched onto him or try to harm him implicitly until it hits his internal machinery.

Self-mending

He is able to mend himself, having the protocol and his own blueprint laid out inside his memory. Even if he is unable to retrieve or collect a part of his body, he is usually resourceful enough in finding substitutes that he can use for the time being.

"Brain Explosion"

A "last resort" move. In short, it's a move that is done by taking off the "anti brain explosion" nail out of his head.

In the first place, the nail in his head acts as a corrector for a faulty part in his motor control circuit. Taking off the nail results in a faster and more agile movement for a few moment, before his circuit hypothetically overheats and explode, causing his so-called "brain explosion". While he can survive a "brain explosion", it is notably the closest feeling to death he can feel, so he would rather not like to feel it.

Another drawback from this ability is that his body is not made to handle the speed he would go into without the nail implemented, that even before he hypothetically overheats, he might already mess up his articulations first. All in all, it is an ability with more disadvantages than advantages for him.

Strengths


As how he is, he is surprisingly adaptable in odd situations. He thinkstend into ahave ratheran esoteric line of thinking becausein of the matter of his bodysituations, and so he commonly ends up with ridiculously stupid, yet working strategies when facing a problem. He also will not stop when he wants something, at least not until he comes to the point where he has to use his "Brain Explosion".

Weaknesses


As said before, he is considerably naive and impulsive in the grand scheme of things. He easily gets provoked when he feels threatened and might end up making decisions that are obviously stupid and disadvantaging towards himself. The same goes for the opposite, as he is also easily persuaded and tricked by anyone that he finds "safe" enough. In short, he is pretty gullible.

Trivia


  • While he always bring around an icepicker, he almost never uses it as a weapon. It is more of just a thing he likes to bring around. He also has a collection of various icepickers back in his place.
  • Nobody knows why he has a preference towards chocolate syrup even though he cannot even taste it. He only notes that he finds it "smooth in feeling" for some reasons.
  • He likes listening to jazz music.
  • In the same time, he has an irrational hatred towards most electro swing music.
  • His hatred, or moreso fear towards houselizards comes from the fact that it is awfully common for them to somehow get stuck inside his main control panel and get fried inside.
  • His scleras used to be more pale and white in color, but they gradually yellow from timeyellowed as they are made from cheap plastic.
  • He has a verysoft raspyand jovial voice, mostthough likelywith a hint of rasp and glitches from time to time. This is because ofhis hisvoicebox just got damaged voicebox.pretty Itrecently. is one of the few things he does not bother to fix or change because he finds it hard to do.
  • As much as he dislikes The Godmother, he still somehow sees her as a "mother figure" as she did help him adapt with his new awareness and come around from time to time to check out on him. They have an odd mother-child relationship.
  • He nicknames his sister model "Melody" as she did not have a name yet when his creator disappears.
