Physical Description[]
Pickbot is about 5'6", coming in on the short end. His head comes to an end in natural spikes, and there is a gear partially embedded in his back. His whole body, inlcuding his hair, is a smooth black color, as if it were made of solid shadows. His eyes have a red glow to them. His hands can extend into razor sharp claws and his teeth into fangs of a similar sharpness at a moment's notice. He has a lithe form and is very graceful when moving. If one looks closely, it becomes apparent that he does not have a shadow.
Psychological Description[]
Pickbot is a deeply disturbed individual. His greatest pleasure is in causing mischief, and while he may go for small pranks in the short run, he has a history of throwing a monkey wrench in very large plans for little more than a chuckle. He often refers to organic creatures as "edibles," and claims that he eats souls. It's highly probable that he is telling the truth. However, despite all the evidence to the contrary, he is completely sane, and is usually plotting something bigger than he lets on.
Biography[]
Pickbot is the last known member of an ancient race known as the Cogs, due to the gears embedded in their backs. After he came ambling out from the Cog lands, wherever they may be, no others have come after him. Rumors started up that he had done in the Cogs, and he did nothing to disperse them, which only made them seem more true. The only one who really knows what happened to the rest of the Cogs is Pickbot himself, and no one has ever gotten up the urge to ask him. He has been alive for several hundred years - even he's not sure what his exact birth date is - and he has spent most of it getting very important people in very big trouble. He lives for mayhem, but usually tries to make sure he has someone to hide behind if things go wrong.
