Murderbot

Murderbot is a rogue SecUnit, as well as the titular protagonist and main narrator of The Murderbot Diaries series. Formerly owned by the company, it was bought and freed by Dr. Mensah and now resides at Preservation Station. 
== Biography ==
Murderbot is a bot-human construct, specifically a SecUnit. Like all SecUnits, it has no gender or sex related parts, and it repeatedly states that sex-related things are uninteresting and, like all human things, somewhat disgusting to it. Other characters reference it using the pronouns “it” and “its” and Murderbot does not object, using the same pronouns for all other bots and constructs in its various encounters.
Approximately 35,000 hours (4 years) before the start of All Systems Red Murderbot hacked its governor module and has spent most of its free time since then browsing entertainment media, especially its favorite serial, The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.
As a SecUnit, Murderbot is designed to interact with SecSystems and has skills in surveillance, data mining, combat, and computer systems. Murderbot has energy weapons built into its forearms, a skeleton of synthetic bone and metal, the ability to survive with very little air and no food (it can't eat; see also: SecUnit), and is considerably faster, stronger, and more durable than nearly all humans, even augmented humans.
Since hacking its governor module, Murderbot has developed considerable skills in hacking other systems, including the ability to manipulate security camera footage to remove its presence.
== Personality ==
Murderbot clearly feels bad about when it was forced to kill a lot of the miners it was supposed to be protecting. The second book has it using its new-found freedom to investigate the incident, afraid of the possibility that it had hacked its governing module in order to kill them, rather than hacking it so this can't happen again.
It also shows loyalty to Dr. Mensah and the rest of the Preservation crew because they were the first people to treat it like a person, even though it's also freaked out by that treatment. It's so unused to kindness that it consistently has feelings about receiving it, much to its annoyance.
== Appearance ==
Mirderbot has visible non-organic parts (but unspecified where) and organic skin in places, a visible neck port (on the back of its neck), and artificial inhuman-looking feet. It has hair on its head and eyebrows (that was once incredibly short but is now longer), and, after some enhancements from ART, it has sparse hair on its organic skin (to mimic a more human appearance). Murderbot has no gender-specific parts, and has an incomplete digestive system (as SecUnits do not need to eat). Murderbot has energy guns in its arms. Murderbot has stated that the company logo is on its non-organic parts. It also has compartments in its body where it can store physical items, such as an area under its ribs where it stores ART's comm and another compartment in its right arm where it stored data chips.
