Meat Cas, my new JBD! Peace just judged her and announced the winner and I flipped out XD.
She is amazinggg!
What you see here is her "general work" tool belt, designed specifically for a quadruped leaping and running on top of huge metal structures, twisting every which way to reach the tiniest cranny for repair. It could match better though...
"It's a tool belt, not a prissy fashion statement." -scowls-

Hello and welcome! I'm Berkshire, and I'd like to get to know you better.
"Mhmm"
So, *ahem* let's start with your name, Casablanca. Very unus-
"Cas."
Excuse me?
"It's Cas."
Oh, um, OK... So Cas, tell me a little about yourself, your gender?
"Why should it matter? Would it make a difference to you?" The JBD smirks and puts elbows on the table. "You might assume I'm a girl, because of the pink streak I was born with, but maybe I'm a boy. It's such a weird world, isn't it? Full of limits, judgements, and stereotypes, where what you can and cannot do is dictated by your sex. You seem like the judgmental type, so I think I'll just... keep you guessing." *wink*
Note: This bean is a female
... Oh-KAY. Well, let's get to the real questions. Casablanca. You were named after a movie?
Cas scowls and snorts derisively. "No, it's a city in Moroco, which is in Africa if you can't figure that out. I was born there 15 years ago, in one of the back alleys in the city's underbelly. Didn't stay there too long, as I was adopted by a goody-two-shoes rich couple who brought me here." She crosses her arms. "That's when I took up 'shop. Done fantasizing about Hollywood yet?"
Well No Actually I wasn't- Hey what do you mean by "shop?"
"Metalshop. No don't look at me like that, I know you're about to blurt out 'mechanic' but no. I am a steelsmith. I build cars, sculptures, and... Robots." She smiles for the first time, thinking of her work, before looking down her nose."No, NOT steampunk or tinkering or any little scrapwork like that. I mean welding, with quality materials."
Ooh robots? Tell me about your biggest project!
Her eyes gleam as she remembers. That would be NIA. The biggest and best mechanical beast the world will ever see! I saw her first in a dream, 3 years ago, and have been working on her ever since. So many prototypes, drawings and failures. But this is it. She's coming together. And she is beautiful." She sighs and traces an outline of a bug on the table. "And one day, she will come alive."
Come alive? So you're a programmer too?
"Nah, I know enough to program my stuff to move and walk, but i want something bigger for NIA, an AI if possible. I'm sure when we're ready, I can track down some random sciency computer geek to help me out with that."
How will you get them to help you?
"I have my ways..." *wink*
"Speaking of ways, I'm heading for a way out. We're done here. Ciao!"
