Shem -1

Shem has augmented their body beyond the chromeling's basic form by welding on a dissymmetric ruffled coat of scrap metal. It's too big and grandiose for their little figure, but Shem shuffles about confidently, as if they expect to grow into it.

Perfect

Shem -1 is a robotic member of the Barathrumites faction and an inhabitant of Grit Gate.[1] They are a modified chromeling.

Character

Shem -1 is one of many chromelings that inhabit Grit Gate. Unlike other chromelings, however, Shem -1 is named and is capable of speech, and distinguishes themselves from other chromelings by wearing a large coat made of scrap metal, which is welded to their body. Shem -1 claims that they were called "Shem 2" when first created by "Father and friends", but eventually realized that they were "not what [they] could be", and "downgraded" themselves 3 times, hence their current title.

Shem -1 appears to be naive and childlike in nature; however, they also seem to be generally insouciant, and when asked if they are concerned about their downgrading, they simply reply: "It's unclear to me that I should be."

Shem -1 seems to enjoy being read to, as they will sometimes ask the player if they would like to read them a story, and mentions that Neek does so on occasion.

Hortensa states that Shem -1 has "such a wider view of the world" than the other Barathrumites.

Combat

Shem -1 begins neutral to the player, but will become hostile if the player attacks them or any Barathrumites in view of them. They can also become hostile if the player's reputation with the Barathrumites falls low enough.

Shem -1 is nearly identical to a normal chromeling, and like them always comes equipped with a stun rod, slotted with a zone tier based energy cell at 100% charge, which they will utilize in combat. The stun rod is a cudgel weapon that deals ♥1d21-2 (Avg: 1.5) damage and has a 25% chance to stun a target for 1d41-4 (Avg: 2.5) rounds. Shem -1 also attacks with their \bite, a natural axe weapon that deals ♥1d31-3 (Avg: 2) damage.[2]

Unlike other chromelings, Shem -1 has a Quickness value of 150, allowing them to perform almost all actions significantly faster.
