-Barebones are a bipedal mechanical construct species originating on Monte.

 ====Origin==== ====Origin====
 Originating in Monte, barebones were intended as a low-cost construct for mining jobs and were inadvertently developed into a proper race. Their manufacturer had decided to cut costs further by basing their design off an existing type of construct, not realizing the design incorporated complete free will. Originating in Monte, barebones were intended as a low-cost construct for mining jobs and were inadvertently developed into a proper race.

-They were never slaves -although they were designed specifically for mining-, and barebones live under the same conditions as any other citizen in Monte.+They were never slaves, despite being designed and built specifically for mining. Once the corporation became aware of their sentience, they were declared a construct race. Nowadays, barebones live under the same conditions as any other citizen in Monte.
  
 A good portion of barebones voluntarily work as miners, as they are naturally inclined towards it and have the ideal skills and durability for the work. A good portion of barebones voluntarily work as miners, as they are naturally inclined towards it and have the ideal skills and durability for the work.

-Barebones are not robots- they're like any other construct, just with less plastic. 
- 
 Barebones value worth in a literal sense- they value useful tools or materials more than objects of sentimental value. They believe it's always better to use something until it breaks than to keep it forever. Barebones tend to be hoarders, keeping miscellaneous bits and bobs in case they become useful. Barebones value worth in a literal sense- they value useful tools or materials more than objects of sentimental value.

 It is very important for a barebones to have some amount of engineering skill- since barebones hospitals are few and far between, they often have to maintain their own bodies. Because of this, they tend not to add things to their body they don't need- hence their skeletal appearance. It is very important for a barebones to have some amount of engineering skill- since barebones hospitals are few and far between, they often have to maintain their own bodies.

-When a barebones dies, the body is dismantled and the parts are given to friends and family. Having fresh, unused parts at the time of death is seen as unused potential in a tragic sense- recycling and continuing to use these parts is a way of fulfilling that potential. Old, broken parts are typically recycled back into raw materials. Keeping a piece of a barebones on display is a big taboo- it implies that the part is worthless and is disrespectful to all those who have used it before.+When a barebones dies, the body is dismantled and the parts are given to friends and family.

-Barebones' actual minds and personalities are stored in a hard drive just small enough to fit in the back of their head- the rest of their body is completely subject to modification.+Barebones' actual minds and personalities are stored in a hard drive just small enough to fit in the back of their head- the rest of their body is completely subject to modification. Because of this, it is possible for a wealthy Barebones to have multiple bodies- usually a 'personal body' and a more specialized body for certain jobs.

-Younger barebones will lean toward being overly logical and pedantic and will have little to no concept of social norms and practices.+Parents tend to use one of the original designs for their child, allowing them to modify themselves the way they see fit during the course of their life. 
 + 
 +Due to their AI being designed for simple mining jobs, younger barebones will lean toward being overly logical and pedantic and will have little to no concept of social norms and practices. However, they are capable of rewriting their own code over time, developing a distinct personality.
  
 As a barebones gets older, it will develop more emotional capabilities until its personality is essentially indistinguishable from an adult of any other species. As a barebones gets older, it will develop more emotional capabilities until its personality is essentially indistinguishable from an adult of any other species.

They have a pair of powerful floodlights alongside their eyepiece, both of which are protected by a plexiglass dome.
