Backdraft

Abstract
There are hooligans, it is said, and then there are a'almvi. No 'bots on the planet can pull off hooligan-ery better than Amalgamous's modern followers, and many thus get into spiffs with law enforcement per that love of mischief. Backdraft is one of a few who get into spiffs on a near regular basis with his pal Hijinks, but is also one of the few who have a genuinely good relationship with the cops. They know he isn't actively trying to break the law; it's more like, in his quest to entertain himself and everyone else, his actions can sometimes cross into the realm of criminal behavior without really, consciously meaning to. At the end of the day, it's all in good fun and people, cops included, rarely come away with anything negative to say about him."'I solemnly swear that my mischief is managed.'"

Chronicles of the A'almvi
Backdraft had a rather unusual upbringing in that he didn't actually have one. He admits that he bounced between Foundling homes as a sparkling and wound up being transferred to an adult frame during that time. Unlike most, he was never officially trained in a skill while there, mostly because he had a tendency to leave and wander around Altihex rather than stay in one place. This urge to rove provided Backdraft an entire city's worth of learning, and his wanderings were how he became acquainted with his closest friend, Hijinks, too. Discovering they had a mutual love of pranks and mischief, together they pledged themselves to the Shifter Prime Amalgamous and his doctrine. Their ensuing antics within the city made them local celebrities, so it became a running joke that the mech's tveta in the Well was nothing more than a rap sheet of his mischievous deeds.
