CHILD

==OOC History==
CHILD is Rhekarid's twentieth character, and ended with a career of 5-3. It was a remake/continuation of an earlier character, The DEAD Machine. It marked the start of a change in trends in which Rhekarid's characters began to perform more successfully, more often.
==Character Biography==
CHILD is the partial creation of an obsessed programmer, who spends his days trying to create an AI capable of real love, installed into doll-like mechanical bodies for tests. As the programming is permanent by necessity, the heads of the failed dolls are severed and discarded en masse at the dump. There, they are assimilated by the DEAD Machine, which is drawn to them as another thing not quite alive or dead. The result is a cacophonous mass of reanimated flesh and blood, old circuitry, and artificial child's heads that it tries to communicate through.
Though the DEAD Machine still follows its primary objectives of trying to create the DEAD state within living beings and harvesting dead ones to enhance its understanding, its programming is merged with the advanced AI of the dolls. It begins to more desperately claim lives on a larger scale, believing the successful creation of a DEAD state to be the unattainable factor of "love."
==Powers and Abilities==
As before, the structure of the DEAD Machine is a mass of decaying tissue, organic circuitry penetrating it like veins and preserving it through suspended animation. It has no distinct form, able to shapeshift into crude variations, and can rapidly repair any superficial damage to its flesh. In the form of CHILD it is less restrained, constantly trying to imprint the DEAD state upon the world around it in a misguided concept of love, in doing so rapidly destroying any life that comes near it. As well, the newer parts allow it to more easily bond with varying forms of electronics.
