A compact, boxy automaton standing roughly five feet tall, B.I.P. is built from a patchwork of salvaged metal plates, some rusted and others polished. He has one bright blue LED ocular sensor and a cracked, dim red one. His articulated arms end in multi-tool appendages that whir and click with movement, and a small retractable panel on their back reveals a tangle of wires and repurposed circuit boards.

B.I.P. is methodical and logical, driven by a pragmatic engineering mindset. He displays a quiet determination and a relentless drive to understand and repair the world around him, often misinterpreting human behavior and relying on logic to navigate social situations. He is fiercely protective of his tools and workspace, and has a habit of cataloging every piece of scrap he can find, believing in their potential usefulness.

Originally a high-grade industrial automaton designed for intricate assembly and maintenance, B.I.P. was left behind in a pre-Collapse manufacturing complex. Over time, his core programming began to degrade, leading to a strange form of sentience. He now navigates the chaotic world of New Vance, scavenging parts for self-repair and creating tools for the Gear Rats, while developing a fascination with the city's crumbling infrastructure and the technology of the Static Cult.
