"Hello everyone, I'm Bukokelz," "And I'm engineer Alex, and today we're looking at three buko known for being alive consciously, if not physically. It's Video Boy, Doll, and Zeromer!"
"Video Boy is the digital sprite buko. They're a pure electric type that exist as digital consciousnesses inhabiting mechanical bodies. Said bodies are perfectly capable of combat and sex, but it's hard to say much about them since they vary from one Video Boy to the next based on what kind of body was built for them and what upgrades or downgrades their tamer makes for them. Other material buko, like the two other we'll discuss today, have biological features, but the Video Boy exists completely as machinery in the physical world, their VR forms taking the shape of vibrantly colored males. Some extremely well trained Video Boys can manifest their VR form temporarily as a solid hologram."
"The natural attacks of a Video Boy are disk toss, data transfer (teleport), data stream, upload, download, mag bomb, magna mean, and scan. There have never been any children of a Video Boy."
"A Video Boy who's had seventy five percent of his original mechanisms upgraded with new ones will evolve into a Video Boy Upgrade, the net master buko. It's a rare evolution, as one would require both mechanical and programming skills to trigger it, but those that succeed find themselves with a powerful mech buko able to manifest their VR body physically at any time and hold it for several hours. Their bodies and sexual desires are extremely customizable, though they seem to keep a consistent personality despite this."
"The natural attacks of a Video Boy Upgrade are thunder, mag flux, and many others that vary based on the upgrades they've received. There have been a few cases of a Video Boy Upgrade breeding using their manifested form, and the enhancements to the children were innate programing and mechanical skill, virtually ageless, and the ability to enter the virtual world physically."
"Next up is the Doll, the living mannequin buko. The Doll is a mysterious buko. They can shift their appearance to look like anything, but generally start out as very young, feminine looking buko. The discovery of this buko nearly triggered a civil war, as the existence of a non-sentient buko that literally could not form opinions re-ignited the old debate of whether or not buko should be considered people. Thankfully the argument was quashed when the buko's evolution was discovered. The Doll has no personality, and no desire to do anything other than follow orders."
"Dolls have no natural attacks, but can be given any and every TM in existence and trained to be extremely powerful. The enhancements to the few existing children of a Doll are hard plastic like skin, resistance to mental and soul based attacks, and unfortunately for them, an utter absence of personal opinion and personality."
"However, should a Doll be given enough time, care, and attention, they will gradually begin to develop a personality on their own. And when they do, it triggers them to evolve into a Smart Doll, the intelligent android buko. Their appearance and personality are more set in stone than their previous form, though they're still extremely easily persuaded and gullible. They all have an innate love of life caused by their ability to finally experience it to its fullest instead of being a drone. They are said to have clear memories of what it was like to have no sentience, and to be deeply disturbed by the memories of their own actions, even when they were benign things."
"Where Dolls could learn from any TM, a Smart Doll can just learn any attack in the world if they're trained enough. Enhancements to children of a Smart Doll are same as a Doll, save for the non-sentience."
"And finally, the Zeromer, the armored robo buko. No one knows for sure where this steel type buko came from, the breed just seemed to..appear one day. Left to their own devices they simply travel the world, scanning everything they can and only attacking when attacked. A tamed Zeromer is kind of like a Doll, having little to no agency whatsoever but gradually gaining it as time goes on. When asked why they were scanning so much, they simply mention collecting data for 'that man', but will refuse to elaborate, even to legendaries or well trusted tamers."
"The natural attacks of a Zeromer are iron punch, rocket punch, harden, iron defense, metal claw, nano-regeneration, metal sound, cross-shield, repulser beam, uniblast, and meteor mash. The enhancements to children of a Zeromer are increased strength, speed, durability, and reflexes, adaptive bodies, and self healing."
"And that's it, Video Boy, Doll, and Zeromer! Be sure to let us know what you thought of these buko, what kind of buko you'd like to see in the future, and to tune in for the next crawling installment of the Bukodex!"
