We use this thread to track everyone character generation options. I haven't made a custom character sheet, so if someone wants to have a go at it, I'd be grateful, but if not that's okay too.
Character Creation
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
May 3, 2024 2:48 pm
Hi! I was thinking of creating the "Face" / the talker for the party, playing a paternalistic top tier Coordination Robot, but I am pretty much flexible for other people wishes so we can have a balanced and diverse group of skills.
May 3, 2024 4:30 pm
So what kind of info can I get on character generation without buying the book? I don't mind buying a book, but I don’t want to be tempted to read the GM section so that I can get the full experience of the game. I was thinking of buying M:YZ core to run IRL, but I'm guessing the robot character generation is pretty specific.
May 3, 2024 5:22 pm
Specific indeed. Here are the kinds of robots that we can play:
Battle Robot: A robot designed specifically for defending and battling the enclaves enemies, in particular other empires. You are a killing machine, and will gladly destroy yourself in combat before you fail your prime directive to destroy the enemy you are programmed to kill.
Cleaning Robot: You are designed to keep things spic-and-span and are very helpful when it comes to cleaning up rot and attacking swarms.
Companion Robot: These robots are closest to humans in their design and mimic human emotions and behaviors in ways the other robots can’t conceive of. They could be used as friends, sexual companions, baby-sitters, whatever kind of companion a human could need.
Coordination Robot: You make sure stuff gets done and keep the other robots on task. If you are sent out to perform missions, you are the natural leader and can make a group of robots add up to much more than the sum of their parts.
Industrial Robot: You are built to serve in the various factories in Mechatron 7, and you always have more tasks assigned to you than you could ever carry out. Production is your key programming and you are always compelled to keep making things, even if the humans who originally wanted these items no longer exist in Mechatron 7. This would be a great choice if you want to mount various tools on your chassis or produce useful gadgets for other robots.
Protocol Robot: The Protocol robot is the brains of the operation and usually has the fastest processor when it comes to gleaning information about the other robots and human civilization.
Scrap Robot: You live in the waste Canyon and survive by reutilizing waste that other robots discard. You are not officially apart of the Collective of other robots, but you aren’t necessarily hated or despised by them either. You were created as a survivor, so you survive.
Security Robot: As a security bot, your prime focus is to enforce law and order and protect human beings, because they are so fragile compared to robots. Even though there are no longer any humans residing in Mechatron 7, you are still just as diligent as the day you were programmed.
@KoldikSteelskin the starter guide probabily won't help you much with character generation, unfortunately. The closest that you will get from what we will play in the starter guide is in the Sky Wheel chapter. But we will play as the robots, the NPCs there, in a completely different scenario. =)

Fortunately I found a thread on RPG Net that talks about some of this in pretty good detail but this is helpful, it's better than just a list of names, and such.
I noticed just how different things were when comparing the two character sheets.

As an aside, this "robot kind" only determines our "special program". All robots have the same attributes and regular programs.
Regular programs for the robots replace the skills and include: Overload, Force, Assault, Infiltrate, Move, Shoot, Scan, Datamine, Analyze, Question, Interact, and Repair.
| Robot attribute | Mutant Year Zero regular attribute |
| Servos | Strength |
| Stability | Agility |
| Processor | Wits |
| Network | Empathy |

We will need GM's assistance here, because there are no "vanilla" cars. We may need some house rules or, at least, some bending and guidance. There are just the kinds above.
May 3, 2024 10:36 pm
Oh, I'm not necessarily wanting to do any house rules or anything, I'm just asking if any of these programs have anything to do with specific knowledge (like, "you know a lot about X") to do the traffic map thing, or maybe one of them boosts Move or something along these lines?

[ +- ] Protect
This is a collection of unique commands and directives
that make you able to instinctively act to Protect
and defend individuals in danger, no matter if they
are a robot, human or mutant.
When another individual within Near range
takes damage from an external attack, you can
immediately roll for Protect. The roll for Protect
does not count as an action, but you may only use
the program once per round in conflicts.
Failure: No negative effect, beyond the wasted
effort and the shame of not fulfilling your duty.
Success: You take 1 point of damage instead of
the victim for every 6 you roll. For example, if the
victim receives 3 points of damage and you roll two 6s then, the victim only suffers 1 point and you take 2.
Besides this special program, you have a secondary function (ie. a talent). In your case my suggestion would be:
SIRENS: You can emit a loud alarm signal, along with a flashing blue light. These signals are visible
throughout the entire district (if you are in Mechatron-7) or the sector (if you are out in the Zone)
After that you will spend 10 points in total over all the 13 skills (Protect + the regular 12), so you can probably put 3-4 just into Move, to give you that boost and probably 2-3 into Datamine.
[ +- ] datamine
When you want to know more about a piece of technology, or if you want to know more about something or someone in the Mechatron-7 facility, roll for Datamine.

I feel kinda pulled towards an industrial robot.[ +- ] Manufacture
You are superior to most when it comes to produc-
ing goods. With the right resources, you can put
together just about any working device in a few
hours. The device will normally have a +1 Gear
Bonus for a certain action.
Just note that before you Manufacture something,
you must decide with the GM what parts you will use and how you will put them together. Moreover, some items are harder to Manufacture than others. The GM can set one or more requirements.
Failure: If you fail to Manufacture the device, something goes wrong. The item does not work the way
it is supposed to. It might explode in your face, or
fail when you need it the most. You’re not allowed
to try to Manufacture the same device again, unless
you find new components. The GM can set new
requirements, as mentioned above.
Success: If you make the roll, your construction
works – once. Most Manufactured devices are tem-
porary, made to solve a problem here and now – but
not to last. Normally, your device will only last for
one action or use, then it will fall apart (the Gear
Bonus automatically drops to zero). You can use extra success to make it last longer.

- MASS PRODUCTION
You have the ability to quickly mass produce items.
When you Manufacture a device, you may, without
spending any extra time spent, produce D6 identi-
cal items.
- MOUNTED TOOLS
You have a collection of specialized tools for repairs and maintenance on other robots built into
your chassis. When you roll to
Repair a robot (but not other
items) you get a +1 bonus.
- RESISTANT
Your hardened chassis is built to withstand extreme
temperatures, from minus 100 degrees Celsius to
thousands of degrees of heat. Fire and mutations
like Flame Breather and Pyrokinesis have no effect
on you. This secondary function does not offer any
protection against energy weapons.
Those are the specifics for Industrials. All the remaining choices will be the same regardless if you're an Industrial robot or not, so we will probably do the remaining steps together with everyone else

I'm thinking Security or Cleaning, as I best understand the concept of both of those.Moreover, I think their secondary functions are where they really shine. You can choose one of:
# RUBBERIZED
You are coated in thick rubber, designed for heavy-
duty work in tough or difficult terrain. The rubber
increases Armor Rating by 2, but only against dam-
age from falling and close combat attacks.
# TRASH BLOWER
You have a built-in container with compressed air,
connected to a powerful trash blower that you can
point in any direction. You can use this against a
target up to Near distance. Roll for Clean - a suc-
cessful attack deals no damage, but the victim
immediately needs to make a Force roll. Failure
means the target misses its next action.
# WASTE RECYCLER
You have built-in components that can turn trash
and biological waste into energy. This process is
slow – it takes D6 hours to create 1 EP, and you
must have access to trash or plants of some kind.

Ooh, a wee-woo instead of beep-beep? It does sound good, although I struggle to quickly come up with a good use for sirens gameplay-wise. Maybe as an intimidation technique... or a signal if we ever split up. But it is a good match!
Can you give an example of what does Force skill do? Is it like a physical effort against a non-combatant? Would it work for things like ramming stuff?
Also, wouldn't Analyze be better for the map thing than Datamine? At least based on skill comparison, "Know the Zone" sounds more like general knowledge of the area and Comprehend more like item appraisal. (Technically, both probably would be useful for law enforcement, but just to know for sure. XD)

Thanks for getting all this started (Timezones! I was asleep!), and thanks especially to htech for posting up a bunch of relevant rules. Since three out of four of you don't have a copy of the rules, I can make accessible the character creation section? That will help. Gimme a moment to set that up.

Giving orders to your drone does not count as an action or maneuver for you, and the drone acts on your turn in the initiative order. The
drone can perform the following actions:
* Shoot (program level 3) with a light laser (weapon damage 1). The weapon has no Gear Bonus and the roll cannot be pushed.
* Scan (program level 3) the surroundings and transmit the information to you.
* Infiltrate (program level 3) a location and report back to you.

So we now need a pool for modules, I guess, as we can't start with the same ones as well.
My suggestion is that everyone should vote multiple times, up to their Modules stats:

Yup. We will probably be the first group to start. =)
I submitted my character sheet for GM's approval and made it public for you to see as well, as soon as the GM approves 😃

Just tabulating here for convenience:
htech - Sir BBX-283, Coordination Robot
KoldikSteelskin - Sid ESK-467 Cleaning Robot
Timplausible - Ox DUS-932 Industrial Robot
Flying Succulent - Security Robot ?
Don't forget to define and note down your relationships with PCs and NPCs as well. I'll be using those (and more) to flesh out a good bunch of characters and roles in Mechatron-7.

What kind of personalities do all our robots have? That knowledge will help me figuring out the relationships.
Ox is going to be moody, frequently worried about things falling apart (itself included).

Here is how I'm planning Sir's appearance and personality:
Sir is a top tier coordinator robot with a humanoid navy blue body with yellow markings. His thin legs and arms move with precision and grace as he goes on through the myriad of tasks that he is always doing. His back is adorned with a small antenna, a symbol of his connection to the vast network of information he oversees.
With a paternalistic and commanding tone, he issues orders with an expectation of obedience. He believes his presence commands respect, and his directives should never be questioned.
However, beneath this facade of authority lies a genuine concern for the well-being of his fellow robots. Sir approaches his role as a leader with a nurturing instinct, guiding and mentoring those under his supervision to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. His electronic voice even carries a slight distortion - it is softened by careful consideration for his fellow robots.

Ox has a new-looking, blocky Mulma head and pristine Methusela legs that have a thin but sturdy structure, ending in large, solid feet. At least, that's how the look. Closer inspection reveals that both parts are quite old, but extremely well-maintained.
Ox's torso, on the other hand, is a patchwork of different pieces. None of them match. Nevertheless, they seem to be fitted together seemlessly, and the torso looks quite sturdy. Each of Ox's four arms are different. Three are complete arms from different torso models. The fourth is made of different parts, like the central torso.
Ox is methodical in its approach to almost everything. Its mood comes across as dour to those able to recognize what a mood is. Ox is constantly worried about things being in a bad state of repair, and frequently stops its primary task to repair something. This includes its own body. Ox even mentions on occasion that NODOS may be in need of repair, and that it would very much like to inspect NODOS and fix anything that isn't working properly ("fixing NODOS" is Ox's Big Dream).

Rulebook page 23 says:
RELATIONSHIPS TO PCSAt the start of the Ghost in the Machine campaign, your robot has probably not even met the other PCs yet. But as soon as you have all met, your relationship to each one of them should be noted on your character sheet. For each model, there are suggestions that you can choose from, or simply use as inspiration.
I think Sir would love to work with Ox. Sir believes a methodical and dedicated (or obsessive) personality is something that every Robot should have.

Htech you're right, I defaulted to the general Year Zero chargen which sets up PC relationships at the start..Unique to Mechatron is the idea that you don't know each other, too busy and focussed on your own assigned role, but something brings you together.
Just the NPCs then! And thank you everyone for doing a character background so far.

Parking this here because I'd much prefer co-constructing this rather than for me to decide.
The robots of Mechatron abide by a Hierarchy, ratings run from 0-10. There's only one 10, that's NODOS. Eight constructs sit below NODOS, at 9. Drones are unranked.
The term 'hierarchy' is game system terminology. Would robots also use the term? (Asking because Sir described themselves as Hierarchy 7). It is for certain that all robots know where they stand in the hierarchy, and have some way of indicating or describing it. Would they have their own terminology for it? Would robots automatically know the hierarchy of every other bot they meet or is it something they only figure out after interacting with each other?

I'm content with whatever the group decides, as long as it's clear. It's kinda easy for Halcyon either way - just obey all coordinators/constructs and assume obedience from everything else. :D
Jun 23, 2024 3:36 pm
My thoughts are that it won't take it's cue from some too 'military' like, so no insignia nor markings I think. More like a code that is established when bots communicate. My latest post uses a letter-number indicator, H# (for Hierarchy), much like part of a longer coded string attached to a robot's name, because presumably the letters and numbers all have some meaning, such as factory and batch of manufacture, or some indicator of registration.
Thanks for the thoughts!

BedzoneII, question!
Is it possible for a whole series of robots to share a nickname? In Sid's thread, Sid referred to "Halcyons" as if there were a lot of them, and I got really into that idea, that all TRVs are named Halcyon (their creators probably decided that giving a unique name to a car is silly and made it a model name instead). But since we're discussing the minutiae of the world, I wanted to ask if that's a possible thing?

Jun 26, 2024 2:58 pm
Oooh yes, of course that's an interesting flavour addition! It'd be equivalent to the 'make' and the 'model' of a car, eg BMW 530i, Mercedes E200, Lexus LS. Some cars have other monikers attached to them, a Nissan R31 is also known as a Skyline.
So sure! It's possible that one particular series of security car bots are Halcyon TRVs. The number at the end shows the variant, 871. Or maybe the letters show the different models, and the number is the unique identifier, eg there are Halcyon TRCs, Halcyon TRLs, etc.
I'd think about whether you'd have yet another name somewhere, one that identifies you uniquely. Only because that seems to be a property of all the robots, even the cookie-cutter assembly bots. So go ahead and think of this addtional one if you like!
Also, in the lore all robots also have a manufacturer if we want to add those names too. (We can make those up or use the lore.) Names could be one long string!

Jun 26, 2024 3:33 pm
Actually, I would prefer not to have a unique name for Halcyon. Maybe there is a serial code, just a string of numbers unique to it, but not an actual name?
The reason is, I tried to make names something of a theme for Halcyon, only using them when it feels some emotion towards the robot in question and mostly using codes for everyone else (including itself at times). So if this game goes on long enough to actually have character arcs and Halcyon starts showing more individualism as journey continues, its own name can change. Maybe it names itself, or maybe someone else does, but it can be a nice event for character development! :D
(Side note, while I was making the sheet, first version of the name was Trevor. I sort of kept it by naming the series TRV. XD)

I'm not sure where I got the idea from. I was Imagining a series of robots that were created similarly, but I think something else spurred the Idea of calling them Halycon's something B said about the Lumodrone I think.
Jun 28, 2024 2:44 pm
On the matter of names, character creation (p15) describes it as:
"Every robot that is not a junk robot has a nickname and a serial number. The nickname is something that a human could have. Whether it is the name of a man or a woman does not matter. The serial number comes from an ancient registry. It consists of three letters followed by three digits. The serial number is unique. No other robot in Mechatron-7 has the same serial number as you."
Go ahead and get creative with what's been specified here. TRV-871 is the unique identifier. (Fun fact, that's over 17 million possible combinations!) The word before that is a nickname. Like I said, if we want to add more details, such as make and model number, go ahead!

My previous post was mostly in response to this:
If it's all the same, I'd prefer for Halcyon not to have any other names.
Edit for clarification: as in meaningful name, like Sid/Sir/Ox. Not a serial number, model code, manufacturer, etc. We might just be speaking about different things. :'D
Anyway, does this work?
TRV - specific line of security cars.
871 - this Halcyon's unique ID among TRVs, which makes TRV-871 a unique identifier among all robots.
Halcyon - nickname given to all TRVs.
(And no other names.)

Sure, no concerns there at all for your character, please go ahead!
So all TRVs are Halcyons, makes perfect sense. That said, I imagine there might be other Halcyon TRVs out there who do have unique additional nicknames, much like most other robots do. It's a nice touch to imagine why 871 doesn't have one. :)

Yeah, many of the cleaner bots are decommisioned or defunct, I'll bet there's only a handful of ESKs left. Any lower in the hierarchy and you'd be a scrap bot! (which btw has its advantages)
Jul 19, 2024 12:42 am
I drew Halcyon & Nemo (my NPC-Protect connection) chilling together. Partly to design Nemo, partly to figure out how big Halcyon would be in relation to other robots (Nemo is approximately human-sized). :D
(Let's pretend that Halcyon's signal can turn; it's much more fun to draw it an angle than in profile.)
(Also, Nemo is not actually smoking, it's an aromatherapy thing. Pointless without humans now, but he does it anyway.)

Love the art! If this were a game for which I could give out inspiration or free rerolls, you'd deserve one for this!
Hope it's okay for us to keep up the fiction about Halycon's size. Most of the scenes imagine the robots to be able to get into rooms and interact with other robots at certain locations, without worrying too hard about robot size. The book itself depicts robots of all sizes, including vehicular ones, so I don't think we have to think too hard about size matters unless the plot specifically demands it.

You may look at p25 for Develop your Robot, referring to the section on Awarding XP, or just follow these questions. In this thread, answer them. For each of the following questions that you can answer with a "yes," you get one XP:
Did you try to eliminate an Error as ordered by a superior robot?
Did you risk or sacrifice something for your PC buddy?
Did you risk or sacrifice something for the NPC you want to keep safe?
Did you risk or sacrifice something to mess with the NPC you hate?
Did you risk or sacrifice something to reach your big dream?
Feel free to modify the references to other robots/PCs/NPCs in order to answer the question.
It's possible you might 'level up'!

Let me clarify further, I know we didn't declare who the PC buddy is, or the various NPCs we want to protect or hate, and that's okay because I expected them to arise organically. We agreed on that at the start of the game.
So, in the course of the first chapter, Hal for example helped Pluto very clearly and dramatically at risk to themselves, so that's a +1. Sir's Coordinate roll is certainly a risk, because he didn't know if helping the others could've incurred the ire of an authority like Edina, I'd award XP for that. I'd say currently Hal 'hates' Edina, so trying to rebel against Edina at risk of burning themselves out is 1XP as well, and so on.
Please think along these lines! XP in this game is awarded for actions and relationships.

Did we agree on it at the start of the game? I might be misremembering, but I don't recall it. And I think all of us did declare the NPCs, the ones on the sheets?
But if we're talking a more flexible approach to XP, then I think it'd be this for Halcyon:
* Yes - Hal was ordered to resolve a traffic issue by Ravin and followed through.
* No - No significant interactions with PCs occurred. (Unless the conversation about arboreal matters or following Sir's order count, but I don't think they do?)
* Yes - Pluto escaped thanks in part to Hal's help.
* Yes - Halcyon rebelled against Edina. Bet she didn't enjoy that.
* No - Didn't do anything big to improve mobility or protect the Collective.
Does this sound right?
Also, are we doing XP for "showing up"? :D

Okay. Then that's what I suggest:
* Yes - Sir volunteers to go the Sanatorium to eliminate an Error.
* No - No significant interactions with "buddies" yet.
* Yes - Sir risked Edina's ire by trying to coordinate a selfless sentient robot (Halcyon's) escape.
* No - No conflicts with robots he hates, yet.
* Yes - Volunteers to go to the Sanatorium, followed Edina's directives and accepted his new job for the good of the Collective and to try to make it a safe place again
If there is a "shown up" XP, this means 4 points.

That's totally reasonable from both of you. Gonna let KoldikSteelSkin and Timplausible do theirs as well.
I wondered about the extra XP for showing up, I like the fact that it's a very positive reinforcement, but feels strange in PbP (if no one showed up to post there wouldn't be a game). Anyway, I'll reserve GM's discretion on that first, but I'll freely dispense more XP in other areas maybe? :)

Did you risk or sacrifice something for the NPC you want to keep safe? NO. What I said in the previous question could apply here as well, but I assume it shouldn't count twice.
Did you risk or sacrifice something to mess with the NPC you hate? NO. He's no fan of Edna, and he was trying to mess with her, but again that seems to be already covered by an earlier answer.
Did you risk or sacrifice something to reach your big dream? NO. More of the same. I think Ox basically took a big risk twice, each of which covered multiple of these questions at this point.
So 2XP?

I'm good with everyone's computations, go ahead and note them. And some of these questions may change at each level up point, so even characters just as Sid will proceed in their own ways.

Alrighty... happy to be joining the group.
Anything specific I need to know for setting up my character? It's my first Mechatron creation, so I figured it was worth checking in before I got started. What do the other PCs have for parts, as I assume I need to pick from what's left?

Yes as a start we divvied up the parts, here's what everyone has, so go ahead and pick from the rest. Also, we have a Cleaning, Coordination, Security bot, so again, it'd probably be more fun to pick one of the other classes.
