Blade - Cooler Circuit (ft. Yuki)

Personality: Blade is difficult to get along with because of his cold, stubborn attitude and how he holds petty grudges against others; a combination that sees him making enemies with almost everyone he meets. Even when he’s in the wrong, he’ll never admit to his mistakes and shifts the blame onto others. If there’s one bot you’ll never see him get along with, it’s the Power Circuit, Cable, with whom he butts heads with over virtually everything, no matter how trivial. Their animosity is further amplified by their respective personalities and beliefs, with Cable showing disdain to Blade for not being seen doing enough work, and Blade despising Cable for how overbearing he is about fulfilling duties. For similar reasons, Blade doesn't get along with the hot-headed Optic Circuit, Ray, either. Averse to interacting with other bots since most interactions don't go smoothly for him, he opts to isolate himself. Thus, he spends most of his time flying around the snow-capped mountains. This aspect makes it very hard to get a hold of him. However, he’ll show up to help if called upon, even if he's likely going to arrive at the last minute. If Yuki is with him, he’ll exhibit a softer, more compassionate side that he reserves for his pet. When around others while Yuki is with him, he'll be reluctant to show outward displays of affection as it embarrasses him to be seen doting on his pet. But if Yuki is ever in trouble, he'll drop everything to save him, no matter the personal cost. Yuki is the beloved mascot of the mountain patrol team who aids them in searching for bots who get lost or injured in the snowy mountains. Known for his playful nature and being excitable, he tends to not follow instructions in favour of playing with other robots or asking to be petted, much to Blade’s annoyance.

Paint colour: Blade’s plating has three different shades of muted blue and white. Yuki’s plating is all white.

Features: Blade sports the white Cooler Circuit emblem on his forehead that’s shaped like a fan with five prongs. Wears a white, high-altitude mask with two coolant tubes on either side that loop around and connect to the back of his head. Mask is not removable. Another tube connects his chest to his abdomen. Has four, large fan blades attached to his back on a rotor that allows him to fly and is the lightest Circuit for this reason. While flying, the air around him cools significantly and lets him freeze moisture in the air to form diamond dust, snow or large blocks of ice. Can produce ice of various shapes and sizes from the palms of his servos or ice over anything he touches at will. Yuki is made of smooth, metal plating with no sharp edges or corners. Designed to traverse the snowy mountains with ease. His smaller size lets him access tight spaces that common bots or Circuits would have difficulty navigating. Has no mouth, but can still bark loudly. Resembles a Pomeranian. Optics are bright blue and can be easily seen in blizzards.

Backstory: The Cooler Circuit is one of ten Circuits. The Circuits used to travel from planet to planet in the Ark; a giant spaceship, terraforming it alongside the common bots Commander Circuit made to make it suitable for their enigmatic Masters. The common bots were all built by the Ark’s production systems to serve their directives, but a glitch had allowed them to develop sentience and individualistic personalities. Once Blade and the other Circuits learnt of this and that Commander Circuit's planet-wide signal kept them alive, the weight of entire planets full of unique bots they departed from going into stasis weighed heavily on them. An attempt was made to bring the bots on board during one departure, but the common bots could not survive light speed travel. Seeing Commander Circuit's indifference towards the common bots as being disposable because he could make them so easily infuriated them, spurring on Blade and the other eight Circuits to break the cycle. He watched as Ray and Crash effortlessly buried the Ark to which Commander Circuit was bound to, forsaking their Master's mission for the sake of ensuring the sentient common bots could live peacefully. Presuming him to be dead, they told the common bots that only nine Circuits exist, and no one questioned it as the common bots didn’t know they were even built in the Ark in the first place. The common bots were also told that the Circuits were built to protect them, hence why Guardian Corps was formed. Unbeknownst to the Circuits, Commander Circuit has survived and is plotting their downfall in the shadows, waiting for the perfect time to strike and catch the Circuits off guard. The moment the Ark is inevitably uncovered during terraforming, Commander Circuit shall unleash the Virus Army he has built up over the years, using them to bring back all of the Circuits by force so that the Ark can take off again. His designation is in cooling, leaving him in charge of maintaining the coolant supply lines that run through the mountains. As for Yuki, it’s widely accepted that he’s Blade’s pet since he always runs to the Cooler Circuit first if he's around. There’s one other known robotic pet dog called Amadeus, who’s under the care of the Wave Circuit, Medley.
