Kelvin

Kelvin is a character that can be found in the back alley of the Refuge, accompanied by several cats.
== Bio ==
In OneShot: World Machine Edition, Kelvin's bio reads:
"A space heater robot that has claimed one of the corners of the Refuge's back alleys as his own. Kelvin's warm body naturally attracts a lot of cats, and he seems to have developed some kind of bond with them. Kelvin is always willing to offer his warmth and comfort to any creature that wanders by.
Technically the lamplighter's neighbour, but they don't interact much..."
== Appearance ==
Kelvin is a tall humanoid robot with a furnace resembling a radiator for his head, with multiple steam pipes and exhausts jutting out from the sides, top, and back. He wears a long-sleeved button-down shirt, a black bow tie, suspenders, and dark pants and shoes. All of his clothing and features are colored a shade of red, which may be a result of the light he is emitting.
== Personality ==
Kelvin claims to be bound by his programming and that he must fulfill his original purpose of giving warmth. He appears to be rather caring, offering to share his heat with Niko.
== Plot ==
=== Main Story ===
Kelvin keeps the cats in the back alley warm. He mistakens Niko for a cat and offers them to join him. Niko objects, explaining they are simply a person, though Kelvin keeps his offer open.
=== Solstice Update ===
Kelvin and the cats evacuated to the library. He continues to keep the cats warm. He feels grateful that he has the ability to keep the evacuees warm as the dying world becomes colder.
== Trivia ==
* Kelvin's name is likely based on the Kelvin unit of temperature, as he emits heat.
* Kelvin is possibly tamed, as his text is properly capitalized and he speaks more like a person compared to most robots. However, he still appears to have to fulfill his purpose in providing warmth.
** This behavior is similar to The World Machine, where they act (and are) tamed but do not realize it, therefore continuing to function as if they weren't.
** It is possible that Kelvin was tamed due to alleyway cats spending lots of time with him.
