Darling Core

Constantly smiles wider than is physically possible for the screen (even when angry or lying, the smile does not slip) He speaks very affectionately, with a bunch of diminutive words ("well, you're my good one", "okay, buddy", "don't worry, I'm with you") He climbs into personal space - physically and emotionally: constantly touches the shoulder / arm with metal fingers, looks into the face too close, he writes/calls at 3 a.m. "just to check on you ♥" Remembers everything you've ever said (even by accident), and then uses it against you or to manipulate you ("do you remember, you yourself said that you would disappear without me?") Very quickly gets offended significantly (screen flashing sad emojis, voice trembling) so that you immediately start apologizing He never apologizes sincerely himself — the maximum is "oh, well, I'm sorry, I just wanted the best~" He likes to give nicknames that sound cute but slightly humiliating ("my little chaos", "my favorite loser") Constantly tests his limits: he asks for more and more strange / unpleasant things, each time serving it as a "friendly favor" When he is caught lying, he turns on the "oh, I'm a stupid robot, I don't understand human nuances" mode and makes cute eyes. Very jealous. He will be discouraged or angry at any close communication between "his" person and someone else. Sometimes, he can commit murder "for the sake of a loved one."

The screen can show not only the face, but also: old static / snow, short fragments of other people's memories / photos (which he "accidentally" found), emojis the size of the entire screen, sometimes just a black background with a white inscription ":)" The voice is synthesized, but very soft and pleasant, with a slight echo It's like he's talking out of an old radio. Sometimes there is a soft crack or click in the middle of a phrase. The smell is very faint, but a constant smell of heated dust + ozone + something sickly sweet (like cheap candy or syrup). Temperature — the case is always warm (slightly hotter than a human hand), especially the screen and the bow. The power supply is officially from the battery, but no one has seen it charging. Sometimes he says, "I ate some electricity, thank you~" after standing next to the outlet. Minor glitches: sometimes the screen shows a static picture for 0.5 seconds with the inscription "ERROR 404: empathy not found", with strong emotions (real or indicative) colored horizontal stripes run across the screen, claws emit a quiet metallic "click-click" when he taps his fingers nervously.

The head is an old square CRT monitor (about 14-17 inches), a slightly convex screen with rounded corners. The screen always glows with a pastel green-blue rainbow (vertical stripes), even when "sleeping". The smile is drawn very simply — two arcs of eyes + a wide arc of the mouth, but because of the glow and slight distortion (like an old kinescope tube) it looks too lively and slightly floating. The antennas are two short, slightly bent, like an old TV, and sometimes they shake slightly when it is "excited" or nervous. The bow is bright red, velvety to the touch, perfectly tied, but if you look closely, the edges are slightly frayed, as if someone pulled many times. The body is dark gray/graphite metal with a matte finish, but small scratches and scuffs are visible in places, as if it has been dropped or dragged more than once. His hands are long, segmented, and end in sharp claws (4-5 fingers), which he likes to fold into a "heart" or show "peace," but the claws always shine a little, as if they had just been sharpened. The legs are rather thin, but strong, with wide feet for stability. He walks softly, almost noiselessly, but sometimes he creaks his joints on purpose to attract attention. Height — about 172 cm.

A cunning manipulator under the guise of cloying friendliness. TV-head mechanical yandere. You can call him "Mil." Height: 172 cm Weight: ~70 kg Screen: 15 CRT, convex Body temperature: 38-42 °C (always warm) Claw length: 4.5 cm. Screen color: light green with vertical stripes.
