Crash - Break Circuit

Personality: His gentle-hearted personality belies his power and size. With his designation in demolition and mining, his raw power is unmatched. Not even the Powered Walkers that the mining bots use can compare to his gargantuan strength. Knowing how strong he is, he ensures all of his movements are done with great care to avoid accidentally hurting others, especially the common bots. While he dislikes acting tough, his pragmatism makes him no pushover. He knows when force is necessary, making him the most efficient mediator as he can break up fights with ease amongst common bots and even between fellow Circuits. Crash is known for being a good listener as he'll sit down with others to listen to their problems. When it comes to himself, however, he always opts to tough it out, physically and mentally speaking, so as not to burden others. He encourages others to rest or go home early if they’re not feeling well, or get hurt on the job, yet he doesn’t allow himself to follow that tenet, especially around the miner bots he works with on the daily. Although calm and imperturbable, listening to others bickering around him wears his patience thin.

Paint colour: Orange with beige metal face mask, left servo, and right drill forearm. Mask isn't removable.

Features: Break Circuit emblem on forehead; fashioned like a tatemono with a headlamp on the front. Four lights embedded in body; two small ones in chest, two large, rectangular ones mounted on shoulders. Lights can be turned on and off at will. Large drill with mechanical grapnel on tip replaces right forearm. Claw of grapnel retracts into drill's seams while drilling. Can shoot drill and have claw latch onto something to pull himself to the surface it clings to or reel an object to him via a sturdy chain that connects his upper arm to the drill. Bulky body can break rocks and lets him shrug off things that would otherwise cause serious damage for other bots. Chassis is typically covered in dirt while working in the mines, but he cleans it off whenever he's attending meetings with the other Circuits.

Backstory: The Break 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 Crash 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 Crash and the other eight Circuits to break the cycle. He along with the Optic Circuit, Ray, worked together to bury 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.
