    Name: Cringe

    Race: Cringe is a security robot, he was programmed by Kade to be able to develop a basic personality that his programming permits him.

    Cringe is a standard DLIS security robot alongside Wolfram, originally Cringe attacked Noguns to retrieve Dale, a robot intended for a science experiment, though failed. Kade retrieved the body of Cringe, repaired it, and fixed Cringe to develop a basic personality, one of which that would go on to be based solely on his directives.

    Cringe stands at about 6'5", and weighs about 250 pounds, basically think a Samuel Hayden in basic armor, if Cringe were to dislodge his armor, he would only weigh 200 pounds.

    In design, Cringe's inner body is primarily basic metal alloys along the lines of iron or steel, with ceramic coating many areas, most notably his head, which also features a blinking light which Cringe uses to express emotion(The brighter it is, the happier he is.)

    Abilities

    The only real strength Cringe has is durability, strength, and poise, however, Cringe's speed is lacking, as it is difficult to break into a fast pace, but instead, he must wind up before breaking into speedy movement, making him extremely easy to telegraph. (Imagine if he tried to punch you, he would wind it back slowly, before delivering a lightning quick punch that would HURT, however, you would be able to tell when he would attack and how he would.) Cringe is not resistant to bullets, being able to be penetrated easily by rifle fire, though weaker bullets would probably do little(like bean bag rounds).

    Cringe's strength mentally comes from his photographic memory, Cringe can freely record audio and save them properly, using directives and coding to set up how he should react to something emotionally. He will learn from other sources as to how to behave and act in general.

    Also, Cringe will NOT ever use weaponry unless forced to, Cringe has a strong hatred of ranged weaponry, and prefers to be close-range. Please respond with any other detail I should add and improvements I can do.

    Real quick, can you give a short list of where the weaker points between the armour are (where there is no armour, or where the armour may be less durable).

    Well, Cringe's head is definitely weak considering it's just ceramic, I'd say his armor is strongest in the chest area, but around his stomach and legs, they are much weaker, one of the easiest tricks to stop Cringe is to make him lose his balance, as he won't know how to retaliate without working legs. So I would say around his bottom stomach, and his leg armor are his weakest points.

    So joints, stomach, head and legs are largely without armour? They're fairly easy targets, so this seems fair, but how much of Cringe's vital parts could be damaged if, say, shot in the stomach area?

    Honestly, the stomach area would probably not result in much damage past leg motor function, sort of like breaking his spine, so his legs would probably spazz a little or just go stiff entirely.

    Provided you don't start shrugging off bullets or anything crazy, this is probably fine.
