A Tale of Two Robots
-------
BR-N3R
-------
BR-N3R was designed and built by the working class of Dorgelf Coterie and sold to Lomrick to help him in his research and work involving the transformation of various species into Klaven and other, related Xenobiology in the Garsilt Research Facility. There he worked faithfully and tirelessly acquiring knowledge and expertise in those chosen fields.
While Br-N3R happily toiled away at his chosen chores (or as happily as a robot gets) it was not meant to last. Garsilt was struck by an extinction level interplanetary object at one point and the "Incident' threw the inhabitants into chaos and the seismic aftershocks compromised containment cells, stasis chambers and power plants.
While the researchers evacuated, they left BR-N3R behind along with most of the equipment (who saves the toaster when the house burns down?), yet despite this BR-N3R tried to faithfully continue his work to the best of the facilities failing abilities when he ran into a group of escaped test subjects. He proceeded to guide them around the facility and assist them as he was needed (he was programmed to assist the researchers and it was a logical progression that that extended to the test subjects as well), eventually leading them to the Garsilt Gate, and from there helping them power it up escape through it to Argosa. One of the last orders that the test subject; 382-461a had given him,
...Brainer go to. Brainer say Brainer job protect as much of Gar Silt as possible. Gar Silt going to go boom soon, only thing Brainer can protect of Gar Silt is Brainer, and only by going through gate...
So through the gate went BR-N3R to Argosa, a land of sand, fulfilling his orders faithfully...
And then all his circuits fried as he went through unguarded... Now deactivated, he is currently sitting in the back of RavBooms backpack, one last thought going through his CPUs ---did...did I do a good job master?---...___
-------
CL4P-TP
-------
CL4P-TP was one of the last of his series created by the Dahl Corporation and his series was known for its tendencies to malfunction or otherwise become exceedingly eccentric. Programmed to serve and repair he was created to be a maintenance bot or to do other manual labor and this he does well and with a cheery attitude.
"With age comes Wisdom" is not a saying that applies to robots and indeed the opposite is usually true. The longer a piece of software has been in existence the greater the chance for external influences to corrupt the data, and the more glitches and other inconsistencies can occur. With Claptrap this breakdown happened at an accelerated rate and by halfway through his expected service life he had developed a full-blown personality. It didn't help that Claptrap was on a rarely visited backwater station on an abandoned asteroid with little maintenance and oversight and this was probably what allowed him to deteriorate so significantly.
Well one day his eccentricities became too much for his superiors to ignore and he was ordered to the deconstruction station to be dismantled. Unthinkably, he fled.
Now there is not many places to run away to on an enclosed outpost on a barren asteroid and he should have been easily found and deactivated however he managed to find an ancient and unused gate. This particular gate had not been activated in over a thousand years but Claptrap was able to identify it as (some sort of) wormhole generator and then power it up by connecting it to the outposts power generators (and nearly destroying the station in the process), then punch a set of random co-ordinates into it and flee through...
On Argosa (where he ended up) he did not make it very far as he searched out a new civilization to integrate into when he fell into a low-powered electrical field designed to trap the local wildlife and fried half his circuits...
Later the hunters who frequented the traps found him laying there and took him back with them to Zel-Argose, selling him to a local Scrapper as scrap, who then tossed him into a pile filled with other broken down and discarded electronics.
-------
Currently
-------
There are now a yellow robot laying discarded in Jims Scrap Heap, it is another yellow robot, similar to the one in RavBooms backpack, however this on has a completely functioning chassis and half fried circuits. With a bit of luck, elbow grease and know-how, it would seem to be compatible with you Brainer and it wouldn't seem too difficult to combine them together...
-------
In the Future
-------
The Claptrap as I will be playing him is a conflicted machine. On one side he has the mind of an intelligent CPU full of knowledge but in a full-blown lockdown, and locked out of any external control, and on the other side we have a half-fried, almost parasite-like CPU who is constantly trying to take complete control and desperate to survive. Claptrap is constantly trying to plumb Brainer for his knowledge and secrets and assert complete control, however both sides are in a constant war of re-written code, hacks and firewalls in this deadly game of wills. So far it would seem that Claptrap is slowly winning and it is just a matter of time before he dominates Brainer completely.
To the party, and especially to RavBoom (who he will call master) he will claim and maintain that he is the same Brainer (indeed, he has access to all those memories together) that they knew, and that he simply goes by the name Clappy while he re configures himself.
He will also refer to himself as "We", using the plural form :p
-------
Appearance and Attitude
-------
CL4P-TP stands just over 2 feet high with a small build with heavy plates and supported by a single wheel, has two spindly arms ending in a pair of surprisingly dexterous pincers. At the top-center of his chassis lies a single lens that acts as his eye to the world and his front panel hinges open to reveal a compartment used to store whatever odds and ends they collect. He also has an integrated crossbow in his right hand that can spring forwards when under threat.
Always ready to help out with his cheery attitude or to offer advice, yet he tends to come off as annoying more than anything else and due to his extensive memory banks can be a bit of a know-it-all. However underneath this face is a driven mind (two of them in fact) that is determined to survive.
Often in an attempt to cheer others up or simply to while away the time he has taken to singing and dancing which further cements his annoying demeanor yet despite this he usually wishes to remain in the background supporting and fixing out of the spotlight. He is also a Kleptomaniac who will pick up and haul anything that he thinks might give him that much of a chance to survive, and especially knowledge in any of its forms or mechanical contraptions.
Recordings:
Assistant BR-N3R
Ravboom: Subject 382-461a
Garsilt Research Facility
Jagladine: mad scientists/persons in charge of Garsilt?
Garsilt comprises four levels: Sub-Basement houses the Special Containment Unit, Level One is Test Subject Storage, Level Two… Clarification: this is Level Two is Research Centre and Laboratories and Level Three is Power Plant, Accommodation and Gate”, before Ravboom can complain about the lack of a detailed map, ”BR-N3R will act as guide if required… no hard-copy detailed maps are available for Garsilt Research Facility at this time”.
Lomrick is responsible for management of research operations here at Garsilt…Accessing: …Lomrick is currently not present at Garsilt Research Facility”.
The Research Level comprises this room… the amorphics laboratory and, accessed from the central vestibule, the xenobiology research room, the Klaven conversion chamber, the Tauslek habitat and the microbiology laboratory”
Jagladine are a superior species within this interstellar region… typically of great intellect and with a natural disposition towards the biological sciences, Jagladine are responsible for… Error… Error… access to further information with reference: 'Jagladine' is restricted to test subjects.”
”This journal seems to be written by ‘Acting Commander at Garsilt, Lomrick’… you said that you were from a world called ‘Golarion’? This passage here…”, Andretta points to a swathe of elegantly written symbols, ”it talks about field trials on a newly discovered planet… ‘Golarion’… it says that his Xoraphond agent, Vuelib, reported an initial degree of instability with its prepared assimilation strain due to a genetic deviation in the natives… Apparently Lomrick instructed this ‘Vuelib’ to adjust accordingly and start a second trial… Does any of this make sense? Does it explain why you are here?”. Andretta flicks on through a few pages before arriving at another passage of text, ”Fascinating… what does this mean? Vuelib reported a critical discovery in its analysis of the deviation… it doesn’t say what… but Lomrick states here that if it was confirmed, that it should be reported to the Scions of the Celestial Helix immediately!!! Do you know what that is? I’ve never heard of such a thing”.
The sigils of the gate determine the destination of the traveller... Assessing... the gate is currently aligned to Argosa. If the test subjects wish to travel elsewhere then the navigation must be reconfigured" ...and then, as the lights within the equipment around the room grow brighter and brighter, "Assessing: Garsilt Gate initialisation will be complete within four minutes and twenty five seconds... twenty four... twenty three..."
CL4-TP:
CL4P-TP General Purpose Robots, more commonly known as Claptraps are built and manufactured by Hyperion as manual labour work robots. Due to little maintenance, constant abuse and a hazardous environment Claptraps have developed all sorts of personality quirks and Eccentric personas. Programed to be helpful most Claptraps will generally seek to aid those around them with almost constant cheery atitudes and be as annoyingly helpful as possible. This consideration rarely goes both ways as most other races on the planet see them as little more than scrap metal to be kicked and abused if not outright eaten. Claptraps have a special animosity towards the roaming bandits as they often use them for target practice or dismantle/destroy them in some other humorous fashion.
Alignment: Claptraps are generally lawful neutral as they dutifully follow their programming with little care for anything else though some can take a moral stance. Occasionally a Claptrap will go "Rogue" completely abandoning their programming and have a very radical shift in alignment. These rogue Claptraps will often attempt to join the nearest bandit camp or risk being dismantled by those who see them as 'faulty.' Attempting to align with the bandits is hazardous and rarely successful as they are often seen as just another target to shoot.
Classes: Most Claptraps tend to be manual labourers and never rise above the status of commoner but of those that do rise from the dregs often become paladins or rangers, helping out those around them and healing those that they can. Rogues, fighters and gunslingers are also seen as they take up whatever means of weaponry they have available to them. There are a few rare CL4P-TPs that take up alchemy, creating different oils and lubricants and lobbing grenades at those deemed a threat, or wizardry, creating technological effects so powerful as to be called spellcraft. Of the Claptraps that go rogue, they often take up the mantle of an inquisitor, rogue, anti-paladin or even assassin as a way of enforcing their own ideals on the world. There is even a CL4P-TP Ninja out there...
You will probably never see a Claptrap Cavalier.

Rogue: The rogue gains +1/6 of a new rogue talent.
Wizard: Add one spell from the wizard spell list to the wizard's spellbook. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level the wizard can cast.
What do you think? I purposefully made them about the strength of the core races as they arnt meant to be super powerful, instead just a small robot, about as strong as the average human.
The constructed type was taken from the Android monster listing and seems more powerful than half-construct while being cheaper but gets a lot closer to the feel I was looking for. If needed you can up the race points associated with it. I also slightly modified it so that they can be afraid, as that happens a lot in the game :) Some other ideas you might like is to give it natural armour/improved to represent its metal shell or deathless spirit further setting it apart as a construct.
Also note that while it is a *robot*, it still needs to eat oil, enter sleep cycles and feed oxygen into it motors. It also bleeds oil and its sofisticated design acts more like an organic body then a piece of machinery.
The CL4P-TP series was one of the last created by the Dahl Corporation and the series was known for its tendencies to malfunction or otherwise become exceedingly eccentric. Programed to serve and repair they were created to be maintainence bots or to do other manual labour and this they do well and with cheery attitudes.
A CL4P-TP stands just over 2 feet high with a slim build supported by a single wheel, and have two spindly arms ending in a pair of surprisingly dextrous pincers. At the top-center of the chassis lies a single lens that acts as their eye to the world and their front pannel hinges open to reveal a compartment used to store whatever odds and ends they collect.
While they are always ready to help out with a cheery attitude or to offer advice, they tend to come off as annoying more than anything else and due to their extensive memory banks they can be known for being know-it-alls. Often in attempts to cheer others up or simply to while away the time a few have been known to take to singing or dancing, further cementing their annoying image yet dispite these outbursts of "personality" they are usually content with remaining in the background supporting and fixing out of the spotlight.
