Equinox (also known as "Nox" or simply the Necrobot) is a Walter Robotics steambot built in 1902 by Colonel P.A. Walter.

## Appearance

Equinox is primarily made of brass and wears a brown and tan parade-style coat that is split at his elbows, with a matching top hat. On each forearm is a stripe, and the ends of his sleeves have trim and buttons that all change with the matter color of his power core, which is located on his lower chest. He wears brown dress pants that are torn on the left thigh. He wears high-heeled boots with a stripe near the top and upward spikes on the toes that also change color with matter. On his back are finlike spikes. He has wavy brown hair and metal "fins" on the sides of his face that guide air intake. His cheeks are matter-reactive as well. He carries a cane, the top of which is adorned with a horse-shaped handle. Lastly, he wears goggles around his neck.

As the Necrobot, he has spiraling horns made of energy on his head, and his eyes are heterochromatic, with the right one being red and the left one being green.

## History

Equinox originally was built for entertainment purposes and can play the saxophone. However, in 1916, as the United States was preparing to enter World War I, Col. Walter outfitted his joints with increased steam pressure and his arms with small machine guns, though the latter have since stopped working. The added strength was used to lift heavy artillery shells and cargo in the trenches in Europe.

In 1917, he was sent aboard the USS Arrowhead alongside Siren, which would be the last time the two see each other until the 21st century. Sometime in the middle of the war, he was directly hit with a German artillery shell, and was left in no man's land until he was found by farmers over 100 years later.

When he was found, he was intended to be shipped back to Walter Manor; however, he was mistakenly sent to Becile Industries, where he was given the Necrocore. After threatening Buster Becile and his scientists, he was shut down and sent back to Walter Manor as intended, where he currently resides.

After wreaking great havoc at Walter Manor, especially taking interest in tormenting Koutali, he managed to break through the Necrocore's influence and call out to Sprint for help, eventually having the Necrocore removed, returned to Victor, and destroyed.

## Personality

Equinox is programmed to be in his early 20s, and occasionally uses slang from the early 1900s in his speech. He is intelligent, though he is not known to flaunt this, and firmly believes actions speak louder than words. He's deeply sensitive and kindhearted, though typically, he has a slight air of arrogance, but is known to set it aside when someone needs his help.

As the Necrobot, he is known to be narcissistic and dismissive of others' plights. On occasion, he is also seen as sadistic, deceptive, and willing to cut corners to achieve his goals.
