Role in Story: Interceptor of a lost communication - he powers and runs the ship that’s an extension of himself through the darkness of space doing research for his robotic counterparts as part of the Coalition of Robotic Engineers (CORE)
Occupation: Ship’s Captain, duh!
Physical Description: Think Johnny 5 but with more flexibility, detachable limbs, and an ability to direct link to his personal ship.
Personality: He’s an older model, having crisscrossed across the galaxy over a thousand years spending more time than not by himself as he docked at various research station after research station. As such, he’s learned to make up his own entertainment, programming code, learning new things, discovering how best to keep himself young and “fresh” although more than one relay station just looks a bit askance at him whenever he opens up his proverbial mouth. Honestly, anyone would get a little loopy (or just run on an endless loop of stale old jokes) if they spend enough time alone! And Rollin is definitely no exception.
Habits/Mannerisms: He likes to pretend he’s a true seaman complete with an index of 6,873 songs about the sea saved to his permanent memory storage in addition to the 151,333 variations (and counting) he has come up with on his own in addition to the endless poems he has written in homage to his own voyage across the galaxy that he is by no means adverse to sharing with any and all who will listen and more likely not choose to listen. But despite the fixation on the romantic notions of the sea, Rollin is a very capable ship’s captain who is never late, always reliable, and immeasurably dedicated to his job.
Background: Created in the fragments of an old age, Rollin was one of the last robotics designed by the Hylinth society before the society crumbled under unknown circumstances. In the millennia since, he has routine forwarded every iota of information collected to a secret account as programmed in addition to parsing out the more mundane and potentially scientifically significant findings to the public domain.
Internal Conflicts: He’s a robot who yearns for companionship and the comfort of being contacted by those who had once made him while struggling with his sense of duty to keep to his mission even though he knows that those he had once known no longer exist.
External Conflicts: No one takes him seriously :( No, I don’t know. I’ll probably figure this one out as I write him.
Notes: TBD - everything subject to change as I go.
