Cerberus, also (formerly) known as Kane Gill.

Once human, now machine, Cerberus wakes up as basically a big ‘hunk of metal’ equipped with various weapons and skills that assist in his singular purpose; to fight. Cerberus, unlike most other machines, managed to keep his human conscious. Arguably, though, he is considerably worse with it. While he is a bit more skilled in terms of choice and awareness, able to make independent thought based on judgement of the current situation, he also has trouble coming to terms with what he is. Most machines of his class are able to go straight into the fray, an onslaught of bullets after them without being bothered, but Cerberus still carries the human instinct of avoiding danger. Cerberus might be looked upon as cowardly by some, but he’s just following his former self. And like human instincts, you can’t suppress programming, either.
Which means that the main control could easily override Cerberus’s main thought to turn him into a mindless machine like the rest of them..if it was still around.

Now, Cerberus wanders a post apocalyptic world with other bots just like him, former humans. And of course, normal humans.

@Mojack oh wow i like how the machine part of him is in conflict with the human part of him, it makes for a really interesting story! also the fact that someone could potentially turn him into a killing machine-imagine having that weigh on you all the time

UH i guess ill post my own characters too! Justine Graves is a Romantic-era mad scientist that was sort of cryogenically preserved until the modern day, when her grand-niece and her grand-niece's student (Elizabeth West) finds her in the basement of the family home. She is focused solely on finding her lab assistant (who she is convinced is alive) and getting revenge on the man that killed her (her former boss/mentor, who stole her research as well ). Because she is so obsessed with these goals, and so disoriented by the new world she finds herself in, she neglects making any new bonds with the people around her.

@Katastrophic group

time traveling (ish) mad scientist? I love it!

(I have a few to show off, my main party and i love them)

My main girl Aurora (Rory) Enaid is a mage. She sets her goals on a prestigious academy called Greenchild that her late mother graduated from, set on being a powerful light mage just like her. Things begin to go wrong when she tries to summon her familiar (magic life-long fae friend to help with magic) and she doesn't have one.

Rei Lindwood is a water witch who comes from a powerful family. With great expectations set by her parents and very successful older siblings, she struggles to get out of their shadows. With her hyper and mischievous water familiar, she begins to become her own person.

Brin Hyland is the first mage of his family and is proud to be attending Greenchild despite his unpredictable and clumsy earth magic. With an uneasy relationship with his trouble making pixie familiar, he has his work cut out for him. (too much spoiler stuff with this one but he's the best boy)

Isra Aisling grew up in the human realm. As an orphan who saw imaginary friends and had strange divining dreams, her options were very limited. When she met an imaginary friend who kept reappearing, she cut her losses and followed them back to the magic realm and enrolled in the academy that was her new familiar's home, becoming very proficient in dream and divination magic.

Damian Ampora wanted to be an officer to protect his family after an armed robbery threatened his younger siblings. His protective personality summoned a (literally) hot headed dragon familiar with strong magic and stronger language. He has to learn to work with his partner to reach his goals, which is easier said than done.

There are so many, I tried to keep them a few sentences each x.x

My main character is Jessica McKellen, a normal, slightly shy schoolgirl with a 6-year-old sister named Sabrina. Jessica herself is 10, and she has a crush on Steven Allen, another fifth-grader in her class. (Mr. Bryer's class.) Jessica (aka Jessie) also has a best friend named Natalie Fenwood. Her single mom is about to get married to the principal of her school, and her life will be changed forever. There are so many more characters (27, to be exact), and I could go on for hours!
