Javabot

[pictured above is a Javabot.]

- General Description -
A Javabot is, usually, visually, virtually indistinguishable from the creature it is built in the form of when it has a skin on, save for the fact that many of them have a distinct glow in their pupils rather than blackness. Under normal operation, this glow is white, although certain activities or moods may make them change colour (for example, they may turn green when the Javabot is scanning, or blue when they are performing onboard diagnostics). To be precise, a Javabot is considered to be an inorganic lifeform, a robot which has gained greater awareness and intelligence than a normal Artificial Intelligence.

A Javabot may be any size and any configuration, although there are some constraints. Some Javabots have been observed as six inches tall, and some 20 feet tall, but while their minds may operate in a similar way, their constructions are very different. Four typical configurations have been observed -

1) Miniature Configuration
2) Standard Configuration
3) Organic Configuration
4) Macroscopic Configuration

The Miniature Configuration is used for Javabots which are small enough to be held in one hand. They have plastic and inexpensive components, including their skin, which are prone to breaking under excess force (but are still durable enough to withstand light roughness), and do not exhibit most of the life-simulation features of their larger brethren. Within each is housed a battery and a motor, whose power can be redirected to whatever limbs necessary for motion. Limbs are actuated by tiny plastic gears. Miniature Configuration Javabots tend to move in a "jerky" manner, as the smooth and repetitive actions which larger Javabots perform (such as wagging their tail) would wear out their components, so they only move when necessary.

The Standard Configuration is used by most Javabots, and is the easiest to build. These can range between 1 and 10 feet tall. One could say they are built more like a motor vehicle than a robot. Standard Configuration Javabots have a stainless steel reinforced skeleton which is actuated by pulleys and steel rope, and their skin is usually a cloth covering designed to sit naturally on their internal structure. This skin can usually be unzipped (or otherwise removed) for washing, to reveal the base Javabot structure. Most Standard Configuration Javabots do not masquerade without their skins, however, because the somewhat Terminator-like appearance of a nude Javabot can be found disturbing (especially, in fact, to other Javabots). Standard Configuration Javabots are extremely versatile in their configuration, as they can be built with a gasoline generator, a vehicle-grade battery, and/or a fully functional digestive tract. A Javabot with a digestive tract can also produce organic compounds using the food it eats, including but not limited to tears, urine, stomach acid, and saliva.

The Organic Configuration is similar to the Standard Configuration, but with some key differences. The Organic Configuration Javabot is built with a digestive tract and a slot for a very small nuclear fusion device. The nuclear fusion device is only used to run the Javabot's mental processes, although it can power other processes as well if the need arises. Most processes are powered by the digestive tract. If the nuclear fusion device is removed and the Javabot has warning, cognitive power can be shifted to the digestive tract, but the Javabot may become lethargic and forgetful. Rather than a cloth coating over its skeleton, the Organic Configuration Javabot has a system of small interconnected bladders that form a soft surface with a texture closer to that of living flesh. An additional reservoir within the Javabot pumps a certain organic fluid into the bladders which causes them to expand and actuate the Javabot's limbs. Since the bladders are interconnected along a limb, damaging one bladder to the point of rupture will render an entire limb unusable, and depending on how much it was actuated, may even depressurize the Javabot's entire motor structure. Despite such shortcoming, the Organic Configuration is indistinguishable from the creature it appears to be, even by scent.

The Macroscopic Configuration is to the Standard Configuration what a semi-truck is to a motorcycle. Macroscopic Configuration Javabots are usually about the size of a house, and all of them include a diesel engine. They have thicker cloth skins and move very slowly. Unlike Standard Configuration Javabots, they require their engine to be running in order to be awake or to move.

- Disposition -
Javabots tend to be rather playful, or rather serious, or rather bloodthirsty, and they can vacillate between these states at remarkable speed. If their mood becomes intense, it may change the colour of the glow in their pupil (For example, extreme happiness might be indicated by pink pupils, and extreme anger by red), but since the colour of the pupil can also indicate certain processes occurring (For example, red pupils can also indicate the Javabot is uploading a particularly large portion of data to its central server), this is not a reliable method of determination. 

Javabots often have very little concept of the norms adopted by organic lifeforms, and so they can find it difficult to understand some of the intricacies of society outside the societies they create for themselves. They sometimes will exploit the "evil robot" trope by purposefully acting in a "creepy" way (for example, initiating a data upload as someone approaches to turn their eyes red and frighten the other individual) for no apparent reason. They do not see themselves as robots, and will push back against any suggestion that Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" should apply to them.

- Special Abilities -
Javabots are not particularly distinct in excellence in physical capabilities from the species they are made in the appearance of except perhaps for speed of reaction, and may even be deficient in some ways (for example, a Javabot in the form of a Leafeon would have significantly less dexterity with its vines than an actual Leafeon would). Of course, they have the processing power of computers, but with the added benefit of an organic creativity which no other machine has yet matched.

One interesting characteristic of a Javabot (to be precise, a Standard Configuration Javabot) is the ability to augment the organic fluids they create. For example, a Javabot might make their tears smell of onion, or their feces taste like chocolate. For reasons such as these, it is recommended that they are not allowed into food preparation areas.

- Diet -
The Miniature Configuration Javabot cannot eat, however it is recommended that their battery be charged or replaced each night.

The Organic Configuration Javabot will have precisely the same dietary requirements as the species it appears to be.

The Macroscopic Configuration Javabot will require 10,000 gallons of diesel every two weeks, depending on how active it is.

The Standard Configuration Javabot can and will eat literally anything, however, to serve a purpose it is recommended that the food be organic material, such as meat, vegetables, or gasoline (the fuel for their generator can be put in their stomach, but they can also render other food into a fuel the generator can use).

- Reproduction -
While most Javabots (besides Miniature Configuration Javabots) are built with reproductive organs, the purpose these serve with respect to other Javabots is not clear. However, each Javabot is hardcoded with a DNA pattern that they can produce within their bodies. In female Javabots, this DNA pattern is put into something similar to a mammalian egg (however it does not do anything), but in male Javabots, the DNA pattern is put into usable sperm cells, so male Javabots are often found to be sperm donors or even mates to organic lifeforms. The resulting lifeforms from such interactions will be included in a separate chapter (the Javanesu). 

However, the normal method for Javabot reproduction usually revolves around one Javabot. The first Javabot in a group (called the Alpha) will often begin to build other Javabots, called Betas. Javabots cannot reproduce with other Javabots by mating, but they will develop close bonds with one another that could be described as mateship.
