The capability of being bored was fashioned from literally spending years alone in a Junkyard.

With nothing else around.

One thing to note though- I did get exceedingly good at throwing bath-tubs.

-shrugs- I've been my own creator about- twice. I've had three different bodies.

Holy... that's amazing. T-though, not the thing about spending years alone in a junkyard, I mean, like making your own body and everything!

My friend El likes robots and crap, I bet he'd get a kick out of you!

Junkyard's my home, anyway.

I call myself Junk-Bot.

Wasn't my original name, not the one my 'original' creators gave me.

I don't really talk to many robotics personnel. Might be interesting or re-affirming of assumptions that I've made.

Oh, well I'm Cliff, Junk-bot... And El doesn't really work on robots, he's just got a lot of empathy for them. Similar situations, I guess.

I guess you hate you creator's guts, huh.

Yep. I hate 'em.

I could run through my story, but I don't want to bore you.

I assure- it is most terrible. -of note, that his tone is always dripping with sarcasm-

Ah- yes- the cat person thing.

Well- I was Model 45061-Alpha-Zeta of the Liandri Mining Corporation's line of Mk1 Domestic Robots.

Originally.

I was bought, like a commodity of course, by a manager of one of Liandri's many mining operations. I believe it was on a moon somewhere.

The miners called me 'Ian.' Shortening the Liandri.

Cat person?

... Oh, so... did at least the miners treat you well?

I'm guessing not really, since you were probably just a tool at that point, right?

-nods- Pretty much horrible. But I lived with the cleaning when I could do it. I had a sense of purpose back then.

Which apparently is not what I was intended for- doing janitor and other domestic duties around the facility.

The manager there- bought me in order to get himself a robot that he could cheaply reprogram to be- Tournament standard, and throw me into competing in the Liandri Grand Tournament.

Pretty much bought a butler to turn into a one-man-army killing machine on the cheap- rather than getting something designed for it.

Oh, man... That, that sucks.

I mean, I know you were made for a job and all, but still. If you're being helpful at least, I wouldn't sell you off to some dick who'd throw you in an arena.

Technically it was an in-house purchase.

So yeah- that guy reprogrammed me and gave me training in weapons and techniques necessary for the tournament. As well as important things like being able to taunt.

But- it wouldn't last.

Still, though. That's not even one part, yet.

-shrugs- Maybe I'll tell more later.
