Raivis Galante - Latvia

[kitkat]

:bot:



:basic:

Assigned Name: 109038 --- "Rai"
Actual Name: Raivis Galante
Physical Age: 15
Country of Origin: Latvia
Creation Date: November 18
Model: F.A.C.U

Appearance:

Raivis is quite short, standing at about 4'5". He's quite scrawny with very little muscle mass. Nothing was changed to this attribute, however, as Raivis was mainly sold as someone who was in need of a maid or errand boy, not one to lift heavy objects. His skin is rather pale and sunburns rather easily, but no matter how long he stands in the sun his skin would always stay very pale.

His hair makes him seem younger, being a light blonde, curly, and cut quite short. His eyes are a bright violet color. This color was not always bright and was made that was during modification. Raivis' face is also quite child-like and round, also making him seem younger than he really is.

The serial number assigned to Raivis is stamped to the right of his forehead, just below his hairline. His assigned logo - three red stars arranged in a pyramid type pattern - is located in the middle of his upper back. His logo is often hidden by his clothing, but is located so high on his back that all one needs to do to see it is pull down the back of his shirt. There is also a black button located on his right hip which is used to release the cord needed for him to recharge. There is a switch located on the back of his neck as well, right below the hairline, serving as his on/off switch.

Raivis doesn't matter what clothing he wears. Often he'll just wear what is given to him. However, if given a choice, he will always pick anything that is the color red. He adores the color and is happiest when he's wearing it.

Strengths
[+] Fast

[/i] -- Raivis is able to run from place to place quite quickly. He's often asked to run errands and purchase items from the nearby corner store so his owner does not have to.
[+] Small[/i] - His small stature allows Raivis to fit into small places. His owner also uses this attribute as an advantage by making Raivis clean places that others could not reach.
[+] Notices Emotion[/i] -- Raivis is able to tell the emotion of the person he is talking to. He is very observant to boy language and speech patterns, therefore able to tell what emotion the other is thinking. Raivis will then adjust his own attitude accordingly.
[+] Creative[/i] -- When Raivis has free time, or if he is doing a tedious task, he sometimes starts thinking of ideas for stories or fantasies. A few children in the neighborhood do know about his creative abilities and will sometimes ask Raivis to tell them short stories, which he always complies to.
[+] Loyal[/i] -- This might also qualify as a weakness as well, as Raivis is loyal to almost anyone. He will comply to any order given to him, though if any order crosses with one given to him by his owner, Raivis will always listen to his owner before any one else.

Weaknesses
[-] Not Very Bright -- While Raivis may be somewhat smart in the book sense, he's not all that bright in everyday life. Never being put in social situations during his childhood prevented him from knowing things others would know everything about, such as sarcasm. Because of this, he'll often take things very literally.
[-] Shaking[/i] -- When he was a human, Raivis stuttered and shook as a result of a mental disorder. When he was modified, the company had tried to eliminate these attributes. While they got the stuttering to go away, they could not erase the shaking. His shaking gets worse in stressful situations. While Raivis may not feel the stress, his shaking reacts to the stress that should be there.
[-] Acts Before Thinking[/i] - Raivis is the type who acts before doing anything else. Often times he will say the wrong thing, accidentally insulting a person without realizing until after he has said it.
[-] Easily Attached[/i] -- When meeting someone new, Raivis will easily become attached to this person. Often he will seek out people who he likes, not thinking about anything else but seeing this person. He will also listen to commands from these people and carry them out without hesitation, even though they are not his owner.
[-] Questions Authority[/i] -- At times, Raivis gets confused on why he has to do the order that was received. He will sometimes question this order, asking why or why not something has to go a certain way.

Personality:
Although Raivis feels no emotion, he sure does show a lot. At first, one would think he looks scared or nervous. He acts as if he is nervous as well: tripping over words and asking for forgiveness very often when he has done nothing wrong. Also, often times he will try to hide or run away from stressful and scary situations. This is more of an instinct than anything else, seeing as that is what he had always done when he was younger.

Seeing past the fear and nervousness, Raivis is actually a very sweet guy. He always thinks about others and wants to make them happy, even if he cannot really be happy himself. His ability to read emotions so well helps with this. If a person looks and is acting sad, Raivis will adjust his actions and expression to make himself look happy and will try as hard as he can to make the other person smile too.

Though Raivis loves to talk to people and make others happy, he tries to avoid conversation. It's a force of habit as he's always tried to avoid as much conversation as possible. He's always been afraid of making a fool out of himself or making a horrible impression.

Overall, Raivis seems like a pretty normal introvert. Quiet, shy, nervous in front of strangers. These are not all good qualities, no, but they are certainly something.

History:
Raivis was born in a lower class family in Riga, Latvia. His entire neighborhood was in the lower class and therefore was never in contact with very many bots. Raivis was never even told that bots existed. He would hear talk about them rarely from his parents, but they never explained what they were. Raivis eventually gave up asking, deciding it was not worth it to find out.

During his entire childhood, he didn't have much. His family had just enough money for food with maybe just a bit left over, which they always saved for emergencies. Because of this lack of money, Raivis didn't go to school for most of his life. For a few years when he was very young, sure, but nothing beyond that.

Around the neighborhood, Raivis was always seen as "that one weird kid". He shook and stuttered because of his mental condition, resulting in a lot of tormenting and bullying, sometimes ending up with him staggering back home with a black eye and a bloody nose. This was normal for Raivis. He thought that was what normal life was like: getting tormented daily and being afraid to go outside.

Without money for school, Raivis grew up not knowing much. The only reason he knows what he does now is because of his regular trips to the library. He would never check out books, but instead would grab a pile of them and sit in a corner to read them. Most of the books he read were romance novels and poetry books, though at times he would grab informational books that interested him, such as books about space, animals, and sometimes even geography and history. These books didn't interest Raivis as much as the novels did, but without school how else would he be able to learn these things?

This life continued for a long time, up until Raivis was just about fifteen. He started to get sick very gradually, starting with a cough and runny nose. "It will go away," he had told himself. "They always go away." However, that was pretty much the opposite of what had happened. It started getting worse to the point where Raivis could not breathe through his nose at all anymore. It also increasingly became harder to breathe and his coughing was much more frequent.

Eventually, it became so bad that Raivis' parents took him to a hospital. All of them knew that they could not afford medical care, but they could at least take him there. The doctors agreed to take him in and diagnosed Raivis with the flu, pneumonia, and a collapsed lung. Without any money, they could not afford the antibiotics needed to cure him.

One day, only a few days after he was admitted to the hospital, his parents came in and told him they were going to do surgery to fix him. Raivis asked where they had gotten to the money, and even if what he had could be fixed with surgery, but his parents only started crying. Raivis was confused and asked why they were crying, but that only made them cry more.

When he being prepped for "surgery", the doctors told him they were putting him under anesthesia before they even left his room. Before he could ask why, the doctors placed the mask over his mouth and he was out. When Raivis woke up, he wasn't exactly Raivis anymore.

RP Sample:
"Open your eyes."

Rai complied, but immediately regretted his decision a bright light was shined right in his face. He close his eyes again and raised his arm to hold it over his eyes. Why would someone tell him to open his eyes and then shine a great bright light at him? That seemed a bit rude in Rai's opinion. The light hurt, didn't they know that?

"Good." The light was turned off and Rai sighed, opening his eyes again and lowering his arm. In front of him stood a man holding a large flashlight. So he was the one who shined the light. That really was quite rude.

Rai gripped the edge of the table he sat on, swinging his legs back and forth. "Why did you shine that light in my face?" he asked quietly, really hoping his question would be answer. But no, the man instead only grabbed the clipboard sitting on the table and started writing on it. Rai frowned and stared at the man, wondering what he could possibly be writing. All he had done was ask a simple question.

The man looked up from his clipboard and studied Rai for a moment. "Give me your hand," he said sternly, reaching out with his own hand. Rai complied and grabbed the man's hand. He could feel himself shaking now and could see it too. His hand wasn't steady at all and the contact even looked like a handshake, though Rai was not doing it on purpose.

The man frowned and pulled his hand back, writing more things down on his clipboard. "Are you shaking on purpose?" he asked, not looking up from his clipboard. Raivis shook his head and replied with a quick "no". Why on earth would he shake on purpose? If he was able to stop, he would.

"Is there something wrong?" Rai asked, sounding concerned. What if there was something wrong with him? Would they try to fix him again? They had already tried to fix him many times before, but he always came out the same way as he went in.

The man sighed deeply and clipped his pen to the edge of the clipboard. "That's it, I'm done," he said under his breath. "We'll just lower the price." Before Rai could ask what that meant, the man turned around and left, leaving Rai alone in the examination room.

What did he mean "price"?

Welcome to D.E.R.P., however, the administration was unsure whether or not it was implied that Rai remembered being Raivis, which he shouldn't given that he was a bot. Beyond that, though, excellent work.
