less so that i was excited, more so that i was surprised (this might be the first ask i've ever gotten???)

Synthia

Synthia is an incredibly out of date robot lady heartlessly dumped into a junkyard by her creators, without being deactivated first. She came from a weird time in robotic advancement where the need for charging was seen as undesirable. A variety of solutions to the “problem” were tried, and one of the weirdest were the Humabots, robots designed with a form of veins throughout their body and an artificial heart, all filled with human blood. The idea was simple, the robotic heart would pump blood through the veins, which would push miniature turbines, which would generate electricity, which would be used to power the body. Human blood was used for the iron inside.

Despite the strangeness of it, Humabots were surprisingly effective, being able to run for long periods of time without maintenance.

But, like all strange attempts, Humabots were phased out and replaced. And that led to Synthia being chucked into the junkyard.

Her once sleek and white robotic frame has been covered in bumps, dents, scrapes and grime, red veins across her body cracked in places causing her to leak. Her left eye has completely stopped working at this point, leaving it rattling around in its socket. Yet she lives on. Repairing herself with scraps she can find, and slowly wandering around the junkyard.

She’s a survivor and nothing will ever hold her down, even her leaking blood reserves. Thankfully, she does have a few backup reserves in her back for emergencies.
