[Name] Target
[Owner/Player] Matthewt3hd0rk
[Gender] Male
[Type] Junkeater (standard-turned-junkeater)
[Affiliation] Firewheel

=[Errors] The most noticeable 'errors' Target seems to posess are physical ones, more injury than manufactured defect. He's missing almost the entirety of his lower jaw, save for a small nonfunctional scrap still attached to his left jaw-hinge, and the fur and muscle has been torn from nearly half his face. The entire right side of his metal 'skull' is exposed, from the tip of his nose sensors all the way up to the microphone sensors that used to be underneath his right ear, which is also missing. There's also fur and 'muscle' missing near where the lower jaw connected on his left side. His headquills are mostly still intact, though he is missing one on the right side, and the center-most one on the right has been chipped near the end. Down his neck are more places where the fur has been torn away, exposing bits and pieces of the inner 'muscle' and structures. He also acquires a 'gimpy' rear leg, his right hindleg seeming to lose all electrical connections slightly above the ankle, with everything after that point being nonfunctional and hanging limply. His wingquills are slightly bent up and out of shape, and his tail drags slightly further behind him than it should due to magnet damage, occasionally 'hopping' to catch up as the magnet connection alters. Mentally, Target has far fewer flaws, the most noticeable being slightly repetitive speech- he will often repeat the first syllables of certain words as he talks, and he also refers to himself in third person. The repetitive actions occasionally show in his behavior as well, and he may walk himself in circles several times before laying down, though this doesn't happen nearly so much as it does with his speech.

[Base color] You know, I'm really not picky about this at all. In fact, if it's a possibility/okay, could I leave it up to you? o3o *likes your colorschemes* (but if that's too much of a hassle, let me know, and I'll come up with something. XD;; )
[Markings] Anything is fine, as long as there's no obvious... targets. XD;;; *doesn't think markings would be where he got his name from, so*

[Background Info] Despite his appearance, Target will adamantly claim he is 'not a junkeater!' whenever he is asked, attributing his damage to being attacked by Shivas. Though he cannot remember the first 'attack' which left him in such bad shape, neither can he remember being activated in or escaping any factories, as one would expect from a true junkeater. It is entirely possible that he is indeed telling the truth (however fragmented) when he states it was Shivas who caused him this damage, and he firmly distrusts and dislikes them, seeking to help anyone who would work against them.

[Other] As Target is missing his lower jaw nearly completely, he cannot eat in the sense that most .exe do. Instead, he must scavenge, finding whatever small scraps of food or other materials that he can maneuver into his throat. He has become fairly adept at this, though it never stops being awkward; however, there has been many a time where pieces are simply too big for him to manage by himself, and at these points he will bring said piece to whatever other beings may be nearby (other .exe, junkeaters, and if they're alone and seem friendly, sometimes humans), asking them to 'b-b-break for Target?' in hopes they'll help him break it down into smaller pieces. In addition to this habit, Target is very wary of being seen as damaged as he actually is- he will often rest with his head buried in the fluff of his tail, in an attempt to hide his missing jaw and some of his damaged face from view. Unfortunately, with nearly half of the fur missing from it, it's very hard to miss that this .exe has obvious and possibly extensive damage.

Additional Information: Target's voice comes across as slightly tinny, and a bit higher-pitched than one would generally expect from a male .exe. It is also likely that the damage he has sustained was not all incurred in one instance; the first 'encounter' (so he claims) is where most of it came from, (missing jaw and fur on face, missing fur on neck, chipped/missing headquills, bent wingquills, etc) but a secondary encounter with another Shiva (whom he mistakenly went up to and asked for help breaking an item so he could eat it) may have contributed to further, secondary damages, such as more bent wing-quills, further damage to the hind leg (he may wind up losing the 'bum' part of it completely later on?), etc.

The wing-quills are bent and not-quite straight, though not at entirely odd angles; they still go in mostly the same direction. It's possible that this happened during the initial 'fight with a Shiva', with Target either being thrown/tossed and landing on them, or them being shut/trapped under something- possibly both.

Despite the bum foot, Target doesn't seem to have any trouble running- he pulls the leg up as he runs, using his three good legs to move more or less just as fast as a regular .exe would. It's only when he walks that it's apparent, since he has to hop slightly with his one good hindleg to make up for the unuseable limb.

Personality-wise, Target is quite friendly, albiet somewhat wary for obvious reasons.

Okay, here we go, proper head ref. 8DD heart

And here's a quick general ref. I know the skeletal pieces aren't accurate, but it was more to show where they were than anything else. XD;;;

Best overall reference, for wingquills especially.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Shows damage to face from multiple views, though his headqills are inaccurate- one of the set on the left (his right) side should be missing, as well as another one chipped at the end.

Inaccurate wingquills, but good for everything else. His bum hind-leg is only missing the fur in the middle ankle section, while the 'good' hindleg sustained secondary aesthetic damage from another Shiva attack- it's missing the fur on most of it, but functions just fine.

The tip (start) of the internal tail structure may or may not be visible; that may possibly also be secondary damage.

Damage Timeline
[Damage Timeline]

When most indivuals first see Target, they automatically categorize him as 'junkeater', with his various damages and flaws attributed to factory-defects and living as a rogue. Though he himself does acknowledge his damages, he adamantly claims he is not a junkeater, and that the reason for him being the way he is is due to attacks by Fissure's undercover dirty-workers, the Shivas.

Target actually did start life as a standard.exe, though he doesn't remember much of it, nor too many details about the actual first attack. It took place in a warehouse or factory of some sort, though after that, the only 'memories' he has is that of the physical aftermath. The following is a timeline of the damage he has incurred, from the initial encounter onwards.

[First Attack] - The one that caused the most damage. It was during this time that Target lost his jaw, as well as most of the fur on his face; his right set of headquills was damaged, losing one and chipping another, and the ear on that side was torn off as well. This was also where a patch of fur was torn from his neck. His wingquills were bent, either from landing on them after being tossed or being pinned under something while the Shiva was fighting him, and it was here that his right hindleg was damaged (possibly also from being pinned?) and everything from the ankle down became useless. It was also here that his speech became slightly damaged/repetitive, most likely as a result of the same attacks that tore his jaw and damaged his face.

[Second Encounter] - Not the same Shiva; though he doesn't remember much of the first one, he knows for a fact this was one he hadn't seen before. Mistakenly went up to them with a piece of scrapmetal, asking to 'b-b-break for Target?'; was met with 'how about I break Target instead?' and the following damages. It was during this attack that his good hind-leg was stripped of some of its fur, as well as possibly when part of the starting-point of his tail loses some of its. Possibly also loses a few claws at this point, due to poor maintenance and a slight rust problem near some of the attachment points.
