Authors Note: Hey everyone, nice to see you guys and girls are still here. Now for starters, I know that I've been away for a long time, mainly due to me playing Skyrim so much. Secondly, because of all the time that has passed since I last updated "All in the Family" I'm afraid I'll be leaving that as it is, not for lack of interest in finishing it, but so that I can get myself back into the swing of things with FanFiction. Now, there is a good side to this, in that I will be doing up more creatures for MetalMunk (and also for ChipmunkOfVengeance) later on, and for those familiar with the monsters from the Skyrim world, you may or may not find aspects of those new creatures similar to the ones of Skyrim. On that note, I think I owe it to you readers to give something new to you guys, namely a possible guest character for MetalMunk's new story "Doomed World" (and no I haven't asked if she's accepting OC's yet, if at all, I'm only doing this as a surprise for her), so without any further things to say, let's get cracking!

Disclaimer: Alvin and the chipmunks and all related characters belong to Ross B. and Fox Studios, and the story of "Doomed World" belongs to MetalMunk.

Machines of the Wasteland: Rahgol.

Rahgol is a machine that was built with the sole purpose of guarding the last remains of humanity without having need for food, rest, or even air. His sole purpose was to act as a sentinel for any form or threat, or if there happened to be more survivors in the wastelands of the post-apocalyptic earth. As such, due to his constant interaction with humans, he was originally built to appear as human as possible, complete with eyes that could blink, facial features, and even a "Breathing" mechanism that made him seem more alive than a normal machine should. To make all this possible, the manufacturers had to create, from scratch, a complete mechanical replica of a human brain, and after many failures, a success was made and installed into the first prototype machine.

When nothing happened, and the mechanical creature failed to respond when activated, the robot was thrown into the scrap pile to be smelted into new components. During this time, the machine awoke, and immediately acting upon the need to protect itself, rebuilt its body into a more powerful and menacing form of its self. The new form was in no way like that of a human's anymore, and instead had the appearance of a beast, the head like that of a cat's with a single glowing slit for the eye, and set of whip-like dreadlocks tipped with razor sharp blades hanging from the back of the head, and completed with a set of jaws lined with sharp metal teeth. The body is sleek and heavily armored, easily able to withstand a hit from a tank round. A row of sharp blade-like spikes goes down the spine, ending at the base of a near 5 foot long tail, this tail tipped with a blade that can be used for cutting, and can also split open to reveal a hydrogen ion cannon capable of blowing a hole through plate steel.

The legs of this mechanical monstrosity are streamlined, and formed into those of a canines back legs, with claws to grip the terrain beneath it so that it is able to reach speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. The arms are also streamlined, though a lot bulkier than the legs, and still retained their human-like jointing. However, the forearms are now equipped with blades, these weapons extending from the elbows about 10 inches out, and the hands are equipped with razor sharp claws capable of tearing through concrete with little to no effort. These claws can be heated to the point of becoming red hot, making it possible to cut through harder materials, or even being used as a makeshift welding torch if this mechanical monster needs to patch itself up. The most noteworthy thing is that the creature still retains a breathing mechanism, enabling it to "smell" certain substances and analyse them for anything. Rahgol is also capable of speech, and although meant to speak with a generic male voice, the new creature speaks with a more beastial type of voice, still able to be understood, but more demonic and mechanized than anything.

Although meant to use deadly force if necessary, Rahgol is imprinted with a slight understanding of the Three Laws of Robotics, but has since given them up altogether in favor of a more simple view on humanity, "Humanity did this to itself, let them suffer the consequence" and as such will only help those he views are in the most dire need of it. Because of his self-modifications, Rahgol has escaped from the factory he was constructed at and now lives in the wilderness of the wasteland. His size has increased as well, though not by much, standing on his feet, he is easily 3 feet taller than a human, and when on all fours, is about the size of an adult grizzly bear. To protect his inner circuits from sandstorms, he has made a home base in what was once the Pentagon, an odd patchwork dome covering the center area so that he is protected from the elements. All in all, Rahgol is a brutish creature, though will not hesitate to act upon his original programming to protect if he deems it necessary. Rahgol is currently one of the many objectives of the new sentry chipmunks, code named "Alvin", to be destroyed, and although no longer associated with his creator's factory anymore, Rahgol already knows of this due to the command link still in his mental processor, which he blocked incoming transmissions from commanding him to surrender, but kept open on his end so he can easily hack their network system, occasionally messing around with their computers just for the fun of it.

So, how was that? Did you readers find this guy interesting? Let me know in the comment section below. Also, if MetalMunk is reading this, then I hope you decide to use this character in your story "Doomed World" which I wish you luck on friend.

Now, as you guys have been expecting, the question of the day…or post, I don't know XP

"Can anyone here remember, without having to go to Wikipedia, what exactly the Three Laws of Robotics are? And if not, what would your ideal Three Laws of Robotics be?"
