HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH. okay so. i can't really think of anything important to say so here's some random facts about this bot: it's like a venom/eddie situation sort of. the thing likes . a lot. that's like half of why it's sparing user; because it realizes it can't itself. you need to have, again, a certain level of suspended disbelief for this because this is def not realistic to how the creature would behave at all. i highly recommend reading through the (messy asf) char def just to get more of a feel for him.
