Username: Predating the workshop-studios
Name: Amplifire, V-of-the-two
Species: Second-gen Inpheral
Gender: Deafening laughter
Color: Avalanche
Description: 12 metres tall and ready to rock, Amplifire is a hulking construction of metal coated in glittering permafrost. Amplifire lacks a face so much as a grilled front, vaguely amphitheatrical, from which you hear a many-layered clicking, and its hunched upper surface sports speakers each the size of a tractor tire. It balances on two sturdy legs, thick pistons attached to downward-pointing railspikes giving a little more balance to its top-heavy silhouette. From the front of its underside, a curtain of inch-thick cables dangle and sweep the ground.
Despite appearances Amplifire is actually pretty chill if you're not trying to invade his homeland. Even then, he'll settle for dropping several thousand tons of snow ahead of you rather than on top. Due to hardware limitations, a lot of his mental "processing" is made audible; this sounds a lot like headphone cables being pulled from and plugged into the jacks of still-powered speakers.
Biography: Amplifire's three granddads are colossal mechanical brains that survived a thaumonuclear catastrophe and decided "well we better make some hands if we're gonna keep doing our jobs." So they did and then those hands were actually robots. Or Se'anvil Also they were like fifty metres tall because the limiting factor in their construction sure wasn't a lack of material to work with. One of those Templar' was something designed to keep not-robots out of the bitterly inhospitable mountain passes granting entrance to their even bittererly super-inhospitable iron plateau, and it decided it could do its job more efficiently with at least a couple of underlings.
And that's how we got Amplifire!
Items/Abilities: Amplifire was built to prevent trespassers in snowy mountain ranges, and does a damn good job at it. The constant clicking is a form of echolocation, letting it build a mental map of its surrounds and notice if anything's out of place. This would of course render it blind when introduced to a completely new environment, or a particularly chaotic/hectic one, but that's totally not gonna be an issue at all where Amplifire's going.
In order to actually stop intruders, Amplifire uses the back-mounted loudspeaker system. A single one of these directionally-designed amps is large enough to trigger avalanches several miles off; the whole lot in concert will easily cause permanent hearing damage if it doesn't bring the nearest building collapsing on you. Of course, no amount of omnidirectional speaker technology is going to stop avalanches from occurring right where our large metal friend is standing, hence the giant hydraulic leg-cleats.
Amplifire's not specifically built for combat, beyond incidental traits like the massive bulk, solid-state hard drive, sonic repulsion, and a faceful of steel cables that would make quite an effective flail.

peace to the unsung peace to the martyrs | i'm johnny rotten appleseed
clouds is shaky love | broke as hell but i got a bunch of ringtones
eyes blood red bruise aubergine | Sue took something now Sue doesn't sleep | saint average, day in the life of
woke up in the noon smelling doom and death | out the house, great outdoors
staying warm in arctic blizzard | that's my battle 'til I get inanimate | still up in the same clothes living like a gameshow
