Goat form Kaliko reference sheet by Axial

Goat form Kaliko reference sheet

Axial

Been about time I uploaded this, these descriptions always take so long to write up... aaanyways: 


Section 1
Kaliko stands at about 6ft (183 cm) and weighs 1190ibs (540 Kg). the male and female humans used as comparison are recognised as the average heights and weights for men and women respectively.

Section 2


Artists Glove
Kaliko does a significant amount of artwork and animation, he wears an artists glove which covers his middle and little finger along with his palm and wrist to protect the piece hes working on at the time. Only his thumb and pointer finger are exposed, he generally keeps it on as he finds it difficult to apply and remove.

Booster trail
Kaliko much like Fifi features ionic boosters to help him jump up high, or to fly around the place. The drives burn cold and generate little heat while active, you can place your hand in the path of the booster trail with only experiencing mild tingling from the electrons being deposited. The trails are different colours depending on the type of atmoshphere present, Oxygen based atmospheres usually burn turqoise, however kalikos boosters feature an aftercharger element due to his weight difference over his much smaller, and lighter sister. Therefore his thrusters are a lot louder, and produce purple trails when this element is active, which is rarely isnt. Kaliko struggles to stay airborne without the aftercharger element being active, as he weighs about double what Fifi does. 

The jets are vented from holes in the bottom of his feet, which are disguised as paw pads while this form is active.

Section 3

Necklace
Kaliko believe it or not is on the spectrum of autism, changes in his coding where made during his manufacture. These are not substantial changes but enough to cause him to process things differently, which has its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage that he can see things and pick up on things that nobody else can, but a disadvantage in the fact he can take in too much information and become overloaded, causing a small meltdown/logic lock. The necklace was made by fifi to help those that interact with him know about the extra sensory needs that kaliko has.


Kaliko is on the high-functioning end of the spectrum, meaning that it may not be entirely obvious to others that he has it unless hes put in a situation that causes him to overthink things and conflict between two controversial points of veiw. An example being if he was asked by someone to steal something, despite the fact he knows its wrong and risks getting caught, he would have trouble determining the right thing to do to abide by the rules, or abide by the persons wishes and make/maintain friendship. Needless to say Kaliko is considered quite vunerable in this regard, but the facility adjusts for his needs. Not to mention he often relaxes much more when Fifi is nearby and is less prone to freezing. 

Headphones
Kaliko often wears headphones in this form to prevent sensory overload. They emit a frequency that kaliko finds calming and helps him to think straight. The headphones themselves are wireless and have a groove in the bottom of the cans that is the perfect size to clip/wedge into kalikos horns. He can also use these to enhance his own hearing, though he must do this with care as he may inflict sensory overload on himself if the sounds are too overwhelming. They are charged by the electromagnetic fields that kaliko passivley emits while in operation.


Speaker
In addition to kalikos headphones he also has a speaker clipped onto his backpack, again this is wireless and charged by electromagnetic fields. He can use the speaker to play a warning/distress tone when he feels like he is in danger. 


Backpack
Kaliko is very often seen wearing a backpack, which he uses for storage. He also finds it comforting to have a bag on his back (even if there is little in it) as it helps reassure him that hes not forgetting any items, can collect new things, and is something for his speaker to clip onto. 


Padlock
Kaliko in his goat form often wears a padlock with a power symbol on it to indicate his social tolerance.


Kaliko is introverted, meaning that he needs time alone to recharge and process things for a while before being subjected to social situations again. He can also become overloaded/overwhelmed sometimes and have a complete meltdown. which sometimes causes him to pass out or even restart entirely. This is especially the case if he finds himself in a stressful or otherwise undesirable situation such as being stuck in the middle of a fight or if someone is aggressive/angry toward him. He tends to freeze in situations like this, fight or flight was not programmed correctly and he ends up in a logical lockup. 


Kaliko will remove his padlock in the event that he really needs time alone to process things, otherwise he has it applied when he can interact with people.


He also wears it to weigh his tail down, which makes it easier for him to tell where it is. Being autistic, Kaliko sometimes struggles with spacial awareness and hand-eye co-ordination. Crowds of strangers without anyone familiar around him is his absolute worst nightmare and is almost garanteed to make him melt down. 

Section 4

This reference sheet was made on the 1st of December 2022 and both the reference sheet and character belong to The artist / Axial

This reference sheet is version 1.

Kaliko is male




Additional information

Kalikos name is derived from my own, but with sounds that I would like in my own name.

Kaliko, much like fifi, does have a hologram function which allows him to change into any creature imaginable as long as its about the same size or larger than he is, His goat/ram form is within the tolerance that he is comfortable with. Kaliko will allow a creature change thats up to 6 inches smaller than he is (5ft 6" is the smallest he will comfortably change to) anything up to 5ft or smaller and he risks damage to his frame.
Unlike fifi, When he does transform there no are givaways that it is actually Kaliko, some would say that Kaliko is much better at holographic projection, becuase he doesnt mis-use it like Fifi does, and has taken valuable time to learn about the system he has been installed with.
Those who know Kaliko, quite often get caught out when he uses his holographic projection. Because he is normally so quiet and reserved, and researches extensivley about the character that he transforms into, he is often able to make a like for like projection, and fool even the smartest and most vigilant of individuals, to beleive that he is the real deal.

Kaliko may not seem it initially, however he is on the higher end of the autistic spectrum. this is due to a discrepency in his coding when he was manufacutred, Hes always had issues fitting in with other robots and human society, and does have mental troubles of his own, but prior to running into the facilty he had no one to talk to about them, leaving him little other choice other than to keep them bottled up. Thankfully however he is making steps to improve his mental health by chatting to some of the other residents that be has become close to, this is especially true with Fifi.

I hope this reference sheet comes in useful! feel free to ask questions or any additions that you would like to see on the reference sheet

Cheers
