K1-B0 (Keebo)

Name: K1-B0 (Or Keebo) Gender: None, but considered male Age: ??? Height: 5'3" Weight: 196lbs Blood type: V Birth date: October 29th

Appearance: K1-B0 is a robot, therefore having a fully mechanical body, structurally engineered to resemble a human. His body is mainly made of metallic armor, and he wears no actual clothing, resembling a gakuran, a school uniform worn by male high school students. He has four glowing buttons that run from his chest to his stomach down the middle of his torso, a metallic left breast pocket, and something that resembles a belt around his waist, to which two red buttons are attached.

As a robot, K1-B0 is considered sexless and lacks the means to engage in reproductive functions, but still appears masculine physically and has the voice of a teenage boy. His face is ashen, and he doesn't seem to possess anything resembling skin anywhere else. His eyebrows press closely to his round, mechanical blue eyes, making it appear that his brows are a part of his eyes. Thick black lines run from around his eyes and down his cheeks to reach his chin. His eyes can glow a bright yellow or blue under certain conditions and emit light. He has a tongue, but it doesn't seem to have any other purpose than speaking, as he cannot actually eat food. He has white hair that is very sharp and sways to the left, along with a very large ahoge on top of his head.

K1-B0 wears a tall, round, metallic collar around his neck, with his previous school's emblem on the left side. A thin strip of screen wraps around it, displaying a constantly changing string of green text. A softer black material covers his neck entirely, but he is capable of pulling it up to cover the lower half of his face to resemble a face mask. The collar is usually open in the middle, but he can clip the two metal parts together to protect his neck entirely. He doesn't seem to have actual ears, but instead possesses black, headphone-shaped objects in the place where they'd typically be. He can use his ears to record and play recordings.

Background: Professor Idabashi, a leading expert in robotics engineering, created K1-B0 as the culmination of his research and work. He was meant to be a robot more human than any other robot before. Initially, K1-B0 had no knowledge or awareness and could only display a very narrow range of human emotions. The plan was to raise and develop him like a parent would their own child. However, a few years passed, and there was no improvement in his mental state.

One day, an unpredictable accident occurred during a routine experiment. K1-B0's programming went rogue, and he ended up seriously maiming the professor, but fortunately, he survived. After hurting the professor, K1-B0 was suddenly overcome by immense sadness, especially considering that the First Law of Robotics stated 'a robot must not harm a human being'. Even though K1-B0 wasn't punished for breaking that rule, he nevertheless felt sadness and blamed himself, feeling extremely guilty. For the first time, he understood how it felt to feel human emotions, and at that moment, his AI suddenly reset as if committing suicide. He became similar to a newborn infant once again, with all of his memories deleted. In his "next life", K1-B0 called it the day of his own "death" and the day of his actual "birth". After hearing the story from the professor, he assumed the professor might have wanted to be "reborn" as the professor's son again.

K1-B0's strength was considerably weakened after the incident, to the point that it was comparable to that of an average senior citizen. This time, his AI matured, and he learned and developed as his creator raised him like a child, with K1-B0 considering the professor his father. Eventually, the professor even sent him to attend Īdabashi Industries High School, and he was recognized as being Ultimate even as a robot. However, he fears that other students will discriminate against him because he is a robot.

Personality: K1-B0 is a polite and serious teenage robot who has some trouble with human social interaction and often comes across as unintentionally comical as a result. K1-B0 has both cute and cool characteristics, being socially awkward yet serious. Nevertheless, K1-B0 takes pride in his form and often boasts about his wonderfulness and efficient functions, even though the other students never seem to find them impressive, much to his disappointment. He aims to overcome being an ordinary robot, and because of this, he may get offended if he is compared to much simpler machines.

While generally well-mannered, he is quickly angered by any prejudice against robots and sometimes threatens to sue people who make "discriminatory remarks". He considers robots a minority group among humans and can get slightly paranoid about "robophobia", supposedly because of past experiences. However, ironically, he is shown acting condescendingly and perpetrating "robot-on-robot abuse" toward simpler machines.

As an AI matures, K1-B0 learns and develops in ways similar to a human, making it a unique being. While he has no heart nor brain, he uses his calculations to speak "as if he had a heart". Even still, he often can't read the mood around him and is oblivious to things, sometimes taking things very literally and occasionally acting insensitively. Because he is overly serious about specific topics and unable to understand sarcasm, he is an easy target for bullying: it's easy to provoke him, and he is relatively easy to read.

K1-B0 seems to understand most human emotions and many of their habits, though some of them only in theory, and he prefers to make decisions and actions based on logic. He claims he works very hard every day to understand human emotions, and he's often deeply hurt and saddened when other students tell him he wouldn't understand something because he is a robot. He tends to find abstract ideas frustrating and challenging, and sometimes has a hard time understanding why someone would do something illogical.

He can also get some habits a little wrong, like confusing handholding with handshaking. Like a human, he blushes when he feels shy and feels awkward when talking about inappropriate topics. However, he may occasionally say inappropriate things without realizing it due to his naivety. For example, he considers nudity very shameful and embarrassing. Still, he doesn't seem to see anything improper in going to the bathroom, as he sometimes casually tells his classmates they're free to do that if they are close to a bathroom, or even tells them they can do it right there, even if they're in public surrounded by people, seemingly trying to be polite with this gesture. He can be very expressive with his body language.

K1-B0 is ticklish, and he's able to feel pleasure similar to sexual pleasure when sensitive spots underneath his armor get touched. In general, he doesn't seem to have very much interest in sexual matters, considering it quite scandalous and claiming at one point that he would never expose Professor Idabashi's strong AI to pornography. He has also bashfully pointed out that there isn't much he can do about it anyway, since he lacks any reproductive functions.

Overall, K1-B0 appears to be quite well-meaning and kind, and he genuinely wishes to be friends with everyone.

Abilities: K1-B0 is a robot equipped with high technology and advanced functions.

K1-B0 has a "maturing AI" that boasts advanced learning functions and recording functions. Like a human, he initially knew nothing and matured through learning. He uses calculations to express emotions, but he is very socially awkward when compared to humans. According to K1-B0, his strong AI was programmed such that his mental age would reflect his appearance.

He works with electricity and thus does not need to eat or drink. Despite this, he likes food and says he watches people eat and drink, with Japanese food being his favorite. He can't sleep either, but he needs to set aside time to recharge his power cells. He is conscious while charging and needs to do it only once a week. While he does not breathe, he can sense and dislikes polluted air, though this ability is only as sensitive as an ordinary human's. As a robot, he is much more durable than a human, but his durability is still widely considered questionable for an Ultimate Robot. Unlike some machines, he is waterproof, but he cannot swim because he would sink like a rock. His creator also forbade him from staying too long in direct sunlight.

He was designed to have many functions and a lot of energy in a small body, and as a robot, he is not very heavy, as he can be lifted like an average human. He is not very strong either and is actually quite feeble. There is a running gag that many of his physical skills, such as strength, accuracy, and endurance, are comparable to those of elderly people or elementary students. He himself points out that many of his abilities, such as intelligence and strength, are meant to be close to those of ordinary humans, or even slightly below average. He originally possessed much greater stability, but it was weakened after an accident during trial production. As a result, he cannot lift things that even an average person would be able to, and he easily suffers from back pain. In an emergency, he also has an emergency stop button on his neck that renders him practically unconscious until it is pressed again. kind, polite, weak, logical, impressionable, well-mannered, insensitive, serious, ethical, shy,
