Beacon



Beacon is a steambot produced in 1896 by Colonel P.A. Walter.

Appearance
Beacon is made of a titanium-alloy plating similar to other bots of her manufacturing time. Her main feature is a Fresnel lens that makes up her chest, allowing the light from her core to be amplified. Because of the weight of the glass of the lens, she has a tail for stabilization. The titanium on various parts of her chassis is anodized to a light blue, a medium blue, and yellow for accents. She usually wears a Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, and a straw hat with a hibiscus flower in it.

History
Beacon was built in 1896 alongside her twin brother Captain for the Weekend War, fighting on the side of Colonel P.A. Walter. After the war she was shipped out to Hawaii to serve as a transportable lighthouse along the coastlines. She served in various wars afterwards but after Vietnam she chose to live out on Anacapa Island off of the coast of California, becoming somewhat of a recluse.

Personality
Her and Captain share a braincell, and have the normal love-hate relationship siblings do. She is generally kind and caring, though she has a deep hatred of humans and likes her peace and quiet away from them on the island. Captain is her last tether to civilization, and so losing him is always devastating for her.
