Metal Sonic | Brimstone

[While Metal doesn't really have the brain necessary for a Dopamine Rush everything about a casino is meant to invoke in you to get you gambling, he is extremely familiar with them as a locale. His creator's love of (evil) theme parks went hand in hand with the propsect of a casino, which...let's face it, they're a literal manifestation of a theme park but evil, it isn't much of a surprise a would be dictator would want to have his own. He regards the setting with some disinterest, never quite understanding Eggman's fascination with the aesthetic, but still remarks on it at some point.]

It has long been known that places such as these operate on unfair distribution of profit to loss on behalf of the casino itself. Yet it does not appear to dissuade patrons.

[Organics are weird.......whaddahell.......]

[It's unlikely Metal want to investigate the source of the civilian disturbances himself; he is prompted to help Lilith, he's just being selective about only things he cares about with regards to helping and..."people" aren't really a thing he does. But he ends up accompanying you at least and he's handy to have as far as wingmen go.

Well, to an extent, because while he is good at moving fast to restrain a civlian about to get violent, he also appears to be Escalating To Extreme Force so you have about .5 seconds to stop him before he does something he probably shouldn't.

At the very least all you have to do is vocally object, he will stop before doing something he shouldn't.

a.
[Whatever group he ends up with, when the issue of driving props up, Metal looks around at everyone silently before raising an arm.]

I am fully capable of piloting this vehicle.

[But how he reach the pedals when he's so small...a mystery.]

b.
[The cool thing about Metal's current canon point skillset is his form is pretty malleable right now. When the issue of whether or not he could pilot the vehicle with his small stature came up, he looked to the nearest person and just...morphed into them, T-1000 style, climbed into the driver's seat and got to it.*

And honestly? This is one of those instances where when someone says they can drive, they can drive. He avoids any obstacles, he handles the controls with a machine-like confidence and...yeah, he goes as fast as he can without risking losing control. This thing is soooo slow compared to him that it's kind of irritating...

*if you're not comfortable with him being your character's doppleganger just pretend it's someone else!

c.
[Metal doesn't even consider the idea of taking a break, so he'll only pull over to the side of the road to allow for that when someone else prompts him to do so. However, he pretty much remains in the driver's seat and appears to be just waiting for everyone to finish...whatever weird organic things everyone else is doing.]

d.
[Stopping to investigate is something he can get behind, however. He's on one knee and observing some tattered clothing that were easily trackable via footprints in the sand. As he looks at the evidence there, he comments to nobody in particular.]

Male. Estimated six feet tall, roughly within 170lbs. Parameters correlate to several missing persons from the city.

While his identity is unknown exactly, it indicates this is where they went.

[See, for all his quirks (anti-social and violent) he's useful.]

(His civilian form is the design on the far right sans ears, which for people who have met Sonic will realise they're basically identical save for the fact Metal's form has red eyes instead. He's also, y'know, monotone and mostly expressionless compared to his shounen energy counterpart.

Lastly, Here's my CR comment and I'm also at [plurk.com profile] obscureinternetreference for plotting or whatever else!
