PEPPERBOT IS: a loose bolt of a complete machine
SUPERHERO OR VILLAIN: Who is this dashing rogue who only appears for a brief time each year?
In a world where the living dead rule the streets, there is only one saving grace: the Atebus Revolution Masquerade. The safety of the dancefloor, however, is in question.
Some say that you may be unlucky to spot this PEPPERBOT gracing the halls during the Atebus Revolution Masquerade. Decked out in a dapper monocle, cane, and definitely-not-fake mustache, this robotic pepper appears during a time most dire in attempts to protect and serve those she cares about. She has been known to serve up gifts of adoration aplenty one minute, while lashing out with her cane at wrong-doers the next, after which she will dance with anyone and everyone — friend and foe alike.
The question is, however, why does she dance when, with her powers, she could be saving the world?
The answer, ladies and gentlemen, is most likely as follows: she is not programmed to do such things. Equipped with an unstoppable heart, an overclocked brain, a spine of steel, and more, yet she is unable to process the sensory input required to complete such a monumental task. She could do just about anything her robotic self desires, but, sadly, it appears that the PEPPERBOT model was not quite ready for commercial production. (We apologize that we are not at liberty to describe how this particular model escaped the showroom floor.) The only other possible explanation for her deeds is simple: she is a pepper, but that is neither here nor their considering her robotic prowess.
This begs the question: do her actions qualify her as a superhero, or a villain?
The answer is up to you.
However you decide to answer that question, you must admire PEPPERBOT's sense of style. If you're not completely oblivious, you'll have heard about the mustache shaped building that popped up overnight somewhere near Centropolis. All evidence points to it belonging to PEPPERBOT, though not a soul has been to this "PEPPERSTACHE" to confirm, mostly because, well, who has the time when there's dancing to be done?
