Changes: Obby

Revision as of 01:41, 22 May 2020

Object-8, commonly known as Obby, is a construct built by the Silver Kobolds who live in the crater in the Mountain of Repetition. He has lived a simple life in the secluded enclave until they had the odd experience of encountering The Unexpectables.

Obby is a halfling or gnome-sized, humanoid construct with large, oversized eyes that glow with an internal fire. When he speaks, this light also shows in his mouth. Compared to Artimus-designed constructs, he is of vastly superior craftsmanship. Also, like other constructs created by the Silver Kobolds, Obby doesn't wear any kind of clothes that would hide their intricate craftsmanship.

Personality

Despite Obby's mechanical nature, they are quite empathetic and concerned about others. They often offer their "comfort arm" so aggrieved parties can hang onto them for support.

Obby works well with the silver kobolds around him, and his more gentle and friendly nature contrasts with their matter-of-fact nature, but has a penchant for getting themselves into trouble. They are curious of outsiders, though a bit naive about the nature of the outside world.

Background

Object-8 was crafted by Gadget, a Silverscale Kobold of the Mountain of Repetition. Little is known about their background or if they had a specialized function. Like most of the kobolds creations, their construction was at the request of Oreyara. Their assignment as a guard was a temporary affair and took away from their usual work creating.

Relationships

The Unexpectables

Obby was guarding a door into the crater with another construct named Project-6 when they heard The Unexpectables knock. He was told by Oreyara to let them in. He has acted as an unofficial tour-guide and ambassador during their time in the crater city.

Oreyara

Obby can speak to Oreyara directly, though tends to do so only when she first speaks to him. She told him to let The Unexpectables with Log into the crater and also commanded him to perform some specific actions to help Task that violated several rules of the Silver Kobolds. When Oreyara talks to Obby, he goes into a trance-like state for the duration, hearing her voice in his head but responding outloud.

Log

Obby and Log were fast friends. Log and Obby both love Oreyara, and Log gladly holds onto Obby's comfort arm. The best description for their relationship is the unspoken mutual friendship between a pair of preschool age children, though Obby's cognitive level is beyond that. Compared to Obby, Log is quite primitive in design, though Oreyara has told Obby that Log is very important and an acolyte.

Trivia

Obby refers to Oreyara with the title "Your Boltiness" when speaking to her.
