## Bluestone Bot/Casual SMP: Chapter 3

The skin incorporates the traditional clothing of airbenders with the robotic nature of the machine. The traditional tattoos are hereby merely additional plates added to the hull. Notable also is the elytra shaped ornamental medallion hanging from the neck.

## Lore Involvement

### Occupation

Archimandrite of the Central Air Temple; Airbending researcher

### Notable Builds

Central Air Temple,

Hehe, copy paste :D

In context of the Casual SMP Chapter 3 featuring the Project Korra Plugin, the following article describes the changes to the basic configuration as well as the involvement in the server of Bluestone\_Bot Unit 227

## Bending

### Own bending

The bending mechanics of Unit 227, though looking similar to other benders, differentiate themselves in that they are heavily controlled be the Robot itself. Instead of guiding spiritual energy like a normal bender, Bluestone\_Bot utilizes gravity and energy manipulation field projectors incorporated into its arms and feet. These are an extremely arcane technology, to point the unit doesn't even know themselves how they function. The energy required for them is drawn from the surrounding spiritual currents for the specific element and in that case the effectiveness for certain elements would still be reliant on external factors like day and night cycle.

The origin of these bizarre alterations to the robots internal systems is mostly still unknown. The current leading theory is the one explored by the Synth itself. It states that they were changes brought upon by a hidden subprotocol lying dormant in the sub-conscious routine cycles until being activated due to prolonged exposure to the spiritual energies present in the server which allows players to bend in accordance with the elemental spirits theory, How these instructions for the self-repair system got saved into it the Unit however does not know.

The usage of this kind of "bending" has allowed Bluestone\_Bot to almost perfectly conduct extremely precise movements that others might have to learn over several years. It has however currently limited the Unit to Air Bending only as that is the easiest element to control using this technology.

### Bending myths

Despite popular belief, the "Body" of Bluestone\_Bot cannot be manipulated through the use of metal-bending. This is due to the state of constant activity which the entire metal-like material of the Unit is undergoing at every second making it hard for benders to get a good grip on it. The constant activity is induced by the partially energy based self-repair system.

The Use of blood-bending does however work in contrast to popular belief. This is due to the mostly water based coolant fluid that runs through almost every part of the machine. In this case one could argue it should more accurately be called "coolant-bending".

### Elemental mastery: Air

Coming into the dimension, the Synth quickly learned to utilize the curious abilities he was given to the best of their capabilities. Through the development of an air-bending technique which it describes as "Suction ladder" did he finally earn the signature air-bending markings of a master Airbender. The techniques makes use of the simple "AirSuction" ability and requires the bender to constantly create new suction streams upwards. This essentially leads to a ladder-like structure in which the bender propels themselves as high upwards as one can manage.
