Axis

Axis is very persistent when it comes to guarding the Steamworks. Once he catches sight of an intruder, he becomes single-minded in his pursuit of them. Despite his physical agility, his effectiveness as a guardian is greatly hampered by his gullibility and slow wit. He inadvertently allows Clover and Ceroba to escape his capture several times, and easily falls for obvious tricks.

Though he may seem an unsophisticated robot, Axis is a sentient being shown to experience intense, complex emotions. He is short-tempered, easily flustered, and evidently quite foul-mouthed (though his swearing is replaced with milder language by what appears to be a profanity filter). He is also capable of experiencing love; when presented with a 'companion robot' Clover and Ceroba built to distract him with, he becomes besotted with it and declares it his spouse. He also greatly misses Chujin, for his late creator was kind to him. In the Genocide Route, Axis expresses remorse over killing the previous fallen human.
