[@VitaVitaAR] here we go really sorry for the delay I'll be better about posting in the future, promise. Had a difficult time deciding if I wanted to go fisticuffs or GUN route, but I figure a bodyguard should be better prepared for close range engagements. [hider=Alma] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ATH2rQn.jpg[/img][/center] [list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Alma [*][u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female [*][u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 1 year since construction [*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u] An extravagant work of art in regal and exquisite gold paint. Blues made with expensive lapis Lazuli ultramarine. Whites with a titanium based pigment. The only other color which exists on her being, is the emerald based construction of her eyes. The cloth parts of her dress are made with the finest and highest quality fabrics. Her face, exquisitely sculpted and one would be hard pressed to find any fault with its construction and indistinguishable from any human visage. Indeed, Alma, like many other high quality Automatic dolls, are a work of art just as much as an expensive painting or sculpture. Even her more clockwork and gear parts compliment her form as much as a decorative buttress on a cathedral. Designed to evoke a definite inhuman, but familiar quality of a hard working maid to whomsoever is her owner. [*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] Made by the danfords only recently, Alma is something of an irritable sort, her otherwise beautiful construction marred by a somewhat grumpy and stern expression worn when both working and when not. Something perhaps not quite so welcome among a servant who needs to be a bit more amicable, but as far as Alma is concerned as long as she does her work then what does it matter? She only ever smiles for her owner, whenever carrying out orders from them or being praised for her own good work. To others she hardly spares five words too. In such a fashion, she is completely loyal to the Danford family and the young Lady Elizabeth though her attitude can be somewhat difficult. Aside from the somewhat grumpy demeanor she follows a quite simplistic approach to most things - the simplest solution is the easiest. Locked door? Break it. Need to catch a would be assassin? Just shoot their kneecaps. Doesn't work? Just use bigger gun. Need something cleaned? Just shake it until the dust falls off. Something washed? Just blast it with a hose until its clean. She accidentally broke something while cleaning? If it can be repaired, then do so. If not, then just by another before the lady notices. No, this has never happened before. Definitely not. Lying to her lady would be wrong, yes? This is all definitely not because she's just something of an airhead or a klutz, no sir. In short, she is not a subtle nor elegant little robot despite what her construction suggests and while she normally is fairly level headed, she can easily be flustered by unexpected situations or her own somewhat clumsiness. [*][u][b]History:[/b][/u] Alma's history, perhaps would be best started from the man that constructed her. Someone of very little renown, all things considered. A relatively uknown engineer who thought to mix more artistic flair into their construction, not just making them complete human lookalikes. When the Danford Family began plans to make one from scratch to act as their daughters bodyguard, he decided to try his luck and went straight to the Danford's house and made them an offer. He'd create an Automatic doll that was a work of art like none of them had ever seen. Needless to say, it took some convincing and some planning but in the end rather through his own enthusiasm, their interest in the finished product themselves, or some other reason...they gave the young engineer the green light to work on this project. That finished product? Alma was the result of it. Needless to say, the Danfords were pleased with the result. Certainly she wasn't completely a human lookalike that other Dolls may look like in the end as was the trend, but what was art, if not a medium for a creator to express something or extravagance for the sake of extravagance? With her expensive paints, well crafted eyes and dress made of the finest fabrics Alma was both a work of art, statement, and a show of skill on this particular engineer's part. The engineer was rewarded greatly and Alma was quickly acclimated to becoming young Elizabeth's personal bodyguard. How well she performs on the job, though, perhaps remains to be seen in full. [*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Alma often carries very little in the way of personal effects on her being. A servant such as her has no need of such things, after all. All she needs is to carry things useful and helpful to her master. -Shock Gloves Specially made gloves the Danfords purchased and commissioned for her use in their service feeling she would function best as a bodyguard that stuck close to Lady Elizabeth. Gloves which cover the wearers hands, specifically tailored for Alma in order to match her overall coloring and construction so its hard to distinguish they're even being worn. Effectively, miniature tasers with an adjustable output from delivering a 'controlled shock' to disarm and 'Zeus shall have no mercy on you' (She often forgets to turn down the levels) -Broom (it was once made of some other material, but it seems she's repeatedly made repairs and its now mostly metal) -Cleaning supplies (All neatly and well kept, surprisingly) -Ceramic repair glue (It's about half empty) -Various snacks for her mistress (Hand made, usually) [*][u][b]Skills:[/b][/u] -Cooking, cleaning, maid things. -Hand to hand combat [*][u][b]Character Type:[/b][/u] Automatic Doll[/list] [/hider]
