Description

Name: Jasper Jarett Jarvis.
Age: 134 If you would count the building process over 50 years should be added.
Gender: Male.
Height: 5'11
Species/Class: Multi-Functional Automaton with Artificial Intelligence/ Victorian.
Occupation: Mechanic/ Loot.
Weapon: None. He doesn't have any weapons, nor he can operate any.
Personality: When he was just built, Jasper was wery bright. He knew most about the world around him. He could calculate any equations in his litte head. The bot also knew all of the proper manners. He knew how to dance, sing and play lots of instuments. He was just the perfect gentleman without even being alive. Sadly most of that was lost during the crash when his 'brain' got damaged and due to all the missed updates in the years he was gone. Now, he has flashes of his old programming but that is mostly as far as they go. He forgets those flashes as soon as he remmebers them so sometimes it may be hard to talk to him. He can still feel emotions, sing and play some instruments.
Bio: It all started as a project to build a metal human by a line of inventors of the Mellor family. It took them three generations to design, build and test out the automaton. Sadly when the robot was ready to see the light of day all the people that had got to work on this project directly had passed away, leaving the son of the last inventor only with the joy of introducing the automaton quite soon after his fathers death. Most of the newspapers wrote about it for it was trully an inovation what would change a lot if passed on to mass production.

".You ask about the automaton's name without even knowing what it can do. Well, if you must. The creators wanted to name it after something significant after the sucess. I have no other choice but to name it after my great grandfather, for the idea and all the drafts that were passed down. After my grandfather for taking up the idea and being certain that it will work. And after my father for not giving up after countless failures to make the automaton as much human as possible. The Multi-Functional Automaton shall be called Jasper Jarett Jarvis, after the three men who wanted to change the world..." - Sir James Mellor, owner of the metal wonder. For "The Daily Gear".

Life went well for the automaton. It made him glad the he inspired so much young inventors. Sir James Mellor didn't treat him as property. The human was a friend who knew how he worked and who would fix or update him if something malfunctioned. And all the places Jasper had seen... It would be easier to count the places that he hadn'been to. He felt happy about traveling even though due to programming he couldn't really express that as much as he wanted. No gentleman shoud jump op and down from exitement. Though during one of his nearly daily travels a horrible thing happened that changed his life.

"...We are here at the train crash. Authority still refuses to let us come closser but as it seems the track was blown up. The crash is horrible! We have confirmed sources that the famous inventor Sir James Mellor and the automaton Jasper Jarett Jarvis were on the train. Sir Mellor still hadn't been counted among the survivors and the Automaton hasn't been found yet..." - Reporter for "The Daily Gear"

Yes, the train crashed. What a horrible sight it was! The Mellor family had a line of enemies who could have been tied to this. All because of fame and a self operating piece of metal. Lot of people thought that the robot got stolen since not even a piece of it was found in the crash. Well he wasn't found oficially anyways. He was indeed found but he was damaged. He wasn't the same 'person' anymore and since sir James Mellor was lost in the crash and the drafts of the automaton were burned, none knew how to repair it. It was soon decided to hide the fact that the robot was recovered. Yet none of the mechanics who got to look inside coudn't force themselves to shut him down for it was more of a work of art than technology. The men told Jasper that it would be better if he left in search for someone who could repair him. The metal man had no other way but to agree, even if in his eyes he was working perfectly. So he left and newspapers still rang for years about the awful loss that happened because of the damned train crash.

Jasper managed to somehow get by for a few years until he broke down in the middle of nowhere in an abandoned house that he used as shelter during daytime. And so he laid there for over a hundread years, completely missing out on the progress that was going on. The house rumbled down someway along and probably that sparked up the engine inside him once again. His spare oil containers were emptied and the automaton woke up once again, yet this time, filthy and rusty. Jasper managed to get out from the rubble of the house and after getting to a near town he had the chance to clean his metal and oil the joints that hadn't moved for so long. A lot had happened and he though that finally now there would be skilled enough people to repair him ( he still didn't think that he was broken ) But the automaton needed to search for those people. He decide the best place would be to go to to docs and just board the most interesting looking ship ( after the crash brilliant thoughts weren't common in his head ). And so the metal man did and he ended up on HMS Isabella. He was lucky enough not to get thrown overboard because the mechanics of the ship decided that he is too valuable and could be of use.

Likes: Music, singing, interesting looking things and people, reading. He also loves tales about everything that had happened when he wasn't in operating condition.
Dislikes: Being told that he's broken, being reminded of Sir James Mellor, trains, crashes, his short memory, when people treat him like a thing that cannot feel anything.
Additional Information:
-He tends to lag, shut down at random, overheat and reboot.
-His joints sometimes get stuck and need to be moved manually a litte.
-He has a beautiful loud and clear voice that sounds human.
-His movements are human like but still quite robotic.
-Jasper cannot run. It causes overheating.
-He also cannot lift anything weighting over 40 lbs for the same reason.
-His built mirrors the human anatomy from the outside and the inside.
-Mechanisms inside him are modeled after human organs and are responsible for same functions. For example the 'heart' is the engine that keeps everything running.
-While he was missing he had become a story to inspire young children to become inventors or mechanics.
-Since he is very valuable and can't do much on the ship he is more like loot than anything else.
-Wouldn't mind showing the inside of his metal body to a skilled mechanic.
-Due to his built Jasper can portray various facial expressions.
-The engine is so powerful that when operating the whole body of the robot is rather warm.
