Background/Personality

THX-1138 views itself as a "leader" robot designed with higher intelligence and better hard-wiring of programming. Its primary function is overseeing the health of programming for all other robots (a "priest" type of function). Even so, THX-1138 believes that its own programming suffered corruption during the disaster, but that the programming of other robots has suffered much worse degradation. As a result, it is not quite sure about how much "Truth" it knows, but it believes it knows more "Truth" than other robots (the "Truth" being original programming).

Appearance

THX-1138 is a biped with a dull green copper exterior, rounded joints and a central readout display on its chest. Its ovoid head is made of a clear material, with CPU visible inside.
