Personality / Description
A mass of clockwork gears, leather, and strange glowing crystals, Ultrajack looks like someone tried very hard to give him a generally human appearance, but was more interested in style and function than in replicating a human exactly. In fact, the designer appears to have spent more time making sure the components are well-polished, than in making sure they look appropriate; from the windows in Ultrajack's skull, to the exposed gears and whirrling gizmos in his chest, it is clear that whoever made him wanted to display his skill to the utmost. When moving, Ultrajack is somewhat jerky, but appears competent. On the other hand, even when completely still, the automatron emits a strange whine, as the gyros continue spinning, and his gears grind. Likewise, in the dark, he tends to glow from many cracks and openings in his chassis; not enough to see by, but certainly enough to see him by. Although the pronoun 'him' is a bit redundant; the mechanical man is not exactly anatomically correct, and thus is not a man in any sense of the word. Most of the social world is a bit of an enigma to Ultrajack. He can understand math, and physics, and he knows what to do to keep an airship in the air; but when it comes to personal discussions, he is hopelessly literal, and has only the most superficial understanding of emotions. That is, he knows what they are, and has actually been programmed to feel them, but he doesn't often understand what they look like in other people. No, Ultrajack would much rather deal with things that make sense; the physical laws of the universe are constant, graspable. The intricacies of people... Not so much.
