The Spine was originally constructed in 1896 by Peter Walter I, with smokestacks protruding from the spinal column area(in the place of his modern dorsal heat sink solution), earning him his name. The Spine, serving with a platoon during the Vietnam war The Spine has an unusual quirk of construction is able to detach his head and spinal column from his body chassis and move freely, like a snake or worm. He enjoys reminiscing about historic periods, such as the “wild west” possibly due to his own nostalgia. He has an interest in very dry or non-fiction books that tend to bore the robots around him, referring to books like dictionaries as “a good read”. He describes himself as “the normal one”, and puts the most effort into adapting to and replicating human culture and mannerisms, to mixed results - his pop culture references are often a bit outdated or off the mark, not unlike an adult attempting to seem cool to children by trying to learn about the latest “cool thing”. The Spine is the most impassive of the Steam Powered Giraffe automatons, often serving in the classical comedic role of “straightman” to his more off-the-wall bandmates. (His actor wears painted gloves resembling mechanical jointed fingers.) He is the only band member who consistently “does not wear gloves”. He wears black flared pants, belt, and black shoes. The vest has red buttons, a red pocket square, and red hems around the armscye and hip. The vest is segmented between these two fabrics, above the waist. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt with red cuffs under a black striped vest, with satin-sheen vertical stripes over the chest and horizontal stripes over the waist. Instead, there is a geometric pattern - similar to the one on his neck - visible on the top of his head. He used to wear a wig which was attached to his fedora, but more recently his design has no hair. Below his ears and behind his head, as well as a spot on the back of his head, are all black (or part of a large seam in his plating). His neck is composed of two horizontal metallic bands with large seams between, with a V-shaped dip in the front. His ears are the same metallic color as his face. Along his jawline is a thin band of metal distinct from the rest of his face with another dark seam, interrupted by the vertical line of his cheek vent. His lips are also black, with twin vertical seams from his lower lip to the bottom of his chin. He has large black eyebrows, each with a connecting seam to the top of his head, and to the outside corners of his eyes. His face is a metallic silver in color, with large geometric black seams for cheek vents in the hollow of the cheek area, which are a slightly darker grey color. They have their own lighting, and he can retract or extend them at will. He has a set of six dorsal heat-sink protrusions(described as “stegosaurus fins” by Zero ) in pairs going down the center of his back, decreasing in size with the largest pair at the top and smallest at the bottom. He is almost always seen wearing his wide-brimmed black-banded black fedora. The Spine is constructed from a shiny, silvery metal, and typically wears full-black formal wear with small red details.
