Machine in the ruins

Name: SNT-NL, standing for Special Neogenic Terminal - Nexus Log.

Nickname(s): Sentinel, usually called that by its technicians when they were still around.

Gender/Sex: SNT-NL was not programmed with a gender in mind, nor is it sentient enough to choose one on its own.

Height/Weight: 220.98 centimeters, 46.26 kg

Age: 15 years have passed since it became operational, 19 have passed since it began to be built.

Goals: Repel all intruders from the ruins of Neogenic labs, keep the entity in the basement contained. The second directive takes priority over everything else, and it will go so far as to sacrifice its own life to do so if necessary.

Personality: SNT-NL has little personality of its own, as it was not a high priority for its designers over combat application. As such, what limited amounts of personality it can show are limited to minor showboating in battle and acting overly polite outside of it.

Appearance: Though its body is generally humanoid, SNT-NL is missing several features, either due to weathering or being unfinished. Most of its body is rusted, pitted with corrosion holes, covered in moss, or all three. Its face and chest were not finished before Neogenic labs collapsed, leaving the wiring and circuitry of those areas exposed to the elements, as well as making part of the generator in its chest visible. SNT-NL has two large jets attached to its back, allowing it to fly via propulsion. SNT-NL's right arm ends in a blaster rather than a hand.

Backstory: Over twenty years ago, a center called Neogenic Labs was founded in order to analyze a newly discovered, then-unnamed substance that could allegedly perform miracles. Experiments with this were usually on biological subjects, but SNT-NL was one of the only fully mechanical projects over the entirety of the lab's lifespan. Built to be an artificial superhero who could work tirelessly thanks to an inexhaustible internal generator, SNT-NL was by far the most humane of the experiments at Neogenic labs. It took years of work just to make SNT-NL into an operational prototype, but it could not be fully completed before a disaster collapsed the bunker that Neogenic labs operated from. During the collapse, it received one final directive from a technician: stand guard and keep the thing that had caused it contained in the rubble. To this day, it remains active and vigilant for any intruders.

Special abilities: SNT-NL has limitless energy due to a special internal generator. SNT-NL has reaction speed faster than a human. The cannon on SNT-NL's right arm can fire blasts of energy. SNT-NL can use the thrusters on its back to fly and hover.

Trivia: SNT-NL's generator utilizes an unknown energy that can never be depleted. The former director of Neogenic Labs intentionally injected himself with an unstable experimental serum intended to give himself superpowers, unintentionally causing a catastrophic meltdown and complete collapse of the site. He was left to his own devices when the building collapsed around him by on-site staff, and SNT-NL was assigned to guard the ruins by the last of its technicians to ensure the man never escapes the rubble. The initial plans for SNT-NL were for it to be a lab defense system, only for project creep to eventually turn it into an independently functioning robot. SNT-NL announces all changes to its condition out loud. SNT-NL has two main directives: repel all intruders by any means necessary, and ensure the entity in the basement remains contained. Directive two takes highest priority, and SNT-NL will sacrifice its life to accomplish it if need be.
