Harv-5

Harv-5
 Harv-5's personality is a strange one. At times his use of logic would put Star Trek's Spock to shame, but he is also known to get quite emotional when no one expects it. He generally has a polite manner but is not without a scathing retort when insulted. Though relatively naïve about humanity, Harv-5 learns quickly as he gains exposure to the likes of Stinger and Windleaf. His loyalty is unquestioned, and the reaping skills he acquired harvesting crops come in very handy in the battle against the forces of the Shadow Madness. ORIGIN: When he was created by the Gadgeteers over 40 years ago, Harv-5 was a bit of an experiment. His creators tried out many new devices on him as he sat in storage on Eyre, resulting in the most unique Harvester Robot ever developed (and - due to the high expense in creating such machines - also the last). After being sold to the Arkosians, Harv-5 was traded from town to town until he finally ended up in Barley Grove where he could do what he was designed to do - harvest fields. Upon the scourge of the Shadow Madness, the robot set out with Stinger and Windleaf in an attempt to find out exactly what was going on.

OCCUPATION: Farmer

FAMILY: None (or so it would seem)

BEHIND-THE-SCENES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: Before he was fully developed into the character in Shadow Madness, Harv-5<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> went through several transformations regarding his abilities. Originally, he had the <span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook2w" style="float:none;height:auto;left:auto;right:auto;top:auto;bottom:auto;border-bottom-width:0.1em;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(0,100,0);position:static;display:inline;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:underline;color:rgb(0,100,0);padding-bottom:1px!important;">power<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> to turn his body into a bridge or to merge with Xero Von Moon<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> to become a new character with both of their powers. He was also once to have a pet <span class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap" id="itxthook3w" style="float:none;height:auto;left:auto;right:auto;top:auto;bottom:auto;border-bottom-width:0.1em;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(0,100,0);position:static;display:inline;font-family:inherit;text-decoration:underline;color:rgb(0,100,0);padding-bottom:1px!important;">chicken<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> named Cecilia and, of all things, a wife.

HOW THE CHARACTER GOT HIS NAME:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> As a Harvester Robot, Mark 5, Stinger and Windleaf<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> find it much easier just to call him " Harv-5<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;">."

HOBBIES:<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"> Reaping and saving the world.
