Pedro the Robot

On a cool fall afternoon, Martin Walsh, apartment-complex-renowned mad scientist, downloaded the wrong song onto his iPod. While trying to figure out how to delete it, he accidentally gave said iPod sentience.

That iPod became Pedro, a highly advanced AI with a British accent and a penchant for being Martin’s voice of reason. The two became inseparable friends, despite their apparent mutual disdain (Martin for Pedro’s fuddy-duddiness, and Pedro for Martin’s utter lunacy). Martin would go on to craft a more appropriate housing unit for Pedro’s central AI chip, creating and installing it in the body of a floating, tennis-ball sized utility droid, designed to allow Pedro to move and interact with the outside world. Martin would task Pedro with helping his experiments; Pedro would charge himself with nanny-ing Martin as best he could, to keep him as far away from the edge of catastrophe as possible (that is, teetering precariously on the brink).

Together, they would form an entirely stoppable team.

Through a complex jet propulsion and magnetic repulsion system, Pedro is able to fly quickly and with ease. He can carry up to 150 pounds using this system while still maintaining his mobility.




A tool designed by Martin, the Pedro-Porter allows Pedro to teleport to his inventor's location at will, no matter the distance.




In place of mechanical devices, Pedro has an advanced energy-based physical manipulation system, essentially an series of powerful and precise miniature tractor beams that can interact with the world with the strength and finesse of a typical human at short range.




As part of Pedro's utility package, he has onboard laser beams that can act as cutting or welding tools, or, in a pinch, mild offensive weaponry.



Another aspect of Pedro's utility functions is his extensive and cutting edge knowledge of computer systems, accompanied by a master hacking suite to interface with, crack, and attack all but the most advanced technological systems.




Pedro, enamored with the mystical, educated himself on all things arcane. While not magical in any way himself, he has an impressive body of knowledge concerning the strange and supernatural. He can provide solid information and guidance in such matters, should the need arise.
