You are an animal. Well, an anthropomorphic animal, standing somewhere between four and four-and-a-half feet tall. You can also turn into an actual animal, though. When you do, your clothing and gear disappears, and reappears when you change back. There is no way to explain this, except magic I guess?

You also seem to be... a kid. Like, your voice sounds like that of a kid. It's the same for your companions. You just don't exactly seem to be an adult yet.



You are a robot. Or something. You are very much the rounded-corners type of robot, not the "boxes-and-rectangles-stacked-together" type of robot.

You stand somewhere between four and four-and-a-half feet tall (like your companions). When you speak, your voice sounds like a kid's voice (as is true of all your companions).

There is no way to open your plastic-or-metal-or-both exterior, but if it was ever cracked a little, pick what people might see inside:
--wires and circuits
--just a glow like energy
--nothing, just hollow
--It would be too hard to tell because black oil would start seeping out

You don't need to breathe, and you don't feel anything but the biggest extremes of burning hot or freezing cold. You can feel pain, though, if something dangerous was able to damage or crush you.

You don't need to eat, but you can, although you have very little appetite. Yummy things do taste yummy to you, though.

You don't need to sleep, either, although you can if you try.

You can wear clothes if you want, or not.



You are a mummy. Or something. You have a head, two arms, and two legs, all wrapped in bandages (that started out as white, although they're now somewhere between off-white and light brown).

You stand somewhere between four and four-and-a-half feet tall (like your companions). When you speak, your voice sounds like a kid's voice (as is true of all your companions).

The idea of removing your bandages is very upsetting to you-- it'd be like removing your skin! If it ever starts to happen, it's very alarming to you, and feels, physically, very wrong.

But if your bandages ever did slip just a little, just for a second or two, pick what people might see inside:
--very dried-out skin
--Just bone, like you're just a skeleton under there
--just a glow like energy
--nothing, just hollow or like you're invisible under there
--It would be too hard to tell because scarab beetles would start crawling out

You have a mouth... What do people see when you open it?
--A normal mouth with teeth and a tongue (and very dried-out lips?)
--Just teeth and bones, like you're just a skeleton under there
--just a dim glow like energy
--Nothing, like you're hollow or like you're invisible in there

You have eyes... What do people see, where your eyes are?
--Nothing, I seem to be able to see just fine even with my eyes bandaged, just like I can hear just fine with my ears covered. Why, is that weird?
--just little glowing pinpoints like energy
--nothing, just hollow or like you're invisible under there

You don't need to breathe, but you prefer to. It feels good.

You don't ever feel hot, but you can feel cold if it's very cold.

You can wear clothes if you want (you'll probably want to, if it's cold out).

You can feel pain, though, if something dangerous was able to damage or crush you.

You don't need to eat, but you prefer to, although you have a small appetite. Yummy things do taste yummy to you, though.

Your stats are:

--Agile:
--Insightful:
--Charming:
--Confident:

Mark one as +1, one as -1, and the other two are 0.

Agile animals get +1 in Agile for free, but must put a -1 on an extra thing.

Robots get 4 HP, everyone else gets 3
