Echo

Personality
Echo

He may look like an emotionless machine with a stilled mechanical voice, but there is so much more than his cold exterior may let on. He feels as though he is living, he’s felt sadness, happiness, pain, excitement, but does that mean he’s alive or merely just a product of programing? His worry over the ever endless questioning of his existence consumes a lot of his mind at times so much so he felt like he needed to know the answers. How he came to be? What is his purpose? Who is he, machine or living being? Echo’s purpose seems unclear even to him which leads to the questioning of his own existence as well as the existence of other living things as well. He tries to distract his mind from the troubling topic of whether he is alive or soulless machine by finding satisfaction in loading and hauling heavy cargo and light security work for those who need it.

Background
Echo was created by a skilled dromite engineer made for the purpose of war 3 years ago, though Echo’s construction took nearly 50 years and his creator did not live long enough to see the fruit of his labor. Echo was activated by mysterious means and he is not even sure himself how he even came to be, leaving him quiet naive of the world around him and unsure of his own existence. One thing he knows for sure is that he is most content when completing work and has spent most of his years so far helping to escort shipments along the trade routes, a fitting job for a being that can easily survive the cold climates and look intimidating enough to scare off most bandits with ease.
