I'm bringing in my original character, Ecks. Ecks is a flesh golem, which in her case is more or less a fantasy setting way of saying Frankenstein's monster. She comes from a dying world ruled by four evil gods who have been at war with one another since they murdered the previous pantheon a thousand years ago, and she was made by the followers of the God of Madness when they took the whole grafting magic thing to its logical extreme. She's not the first flesh golem in her world, but she is the first flesh golem to have a mind and free will. Even with free will, her golem nature shows through in a general desire to operate by a clear set of rules and/or instructions. She's capable of choosing to lie or to disobey an order, but she's much more comfortable with honesty and with allowing others to tell her what to do (and might have a meltdown if faced with conflicting instructions). She's very literal-minded and doesn't really understand most humor.
Basically everything about Ecks's life has been horrific, but she doesn't have the context or emotional intelligence to understand how bad it is. She's been through a lot of pain as a test subject and she's done some really evil things under orders from her creators, but she worked out the basic concept of the golden rule on her own and has gone from there in terms of building her own code of ethics (she is literally writing a book on the subject). At the age of two she took the opportunity of being sent out on a mission to simply leave the Fleshworks and never come back. That's when she's coming from for this CRAU.
I'd like her to be a longer-term resident of the Sunset Circus. She'll have been there at least a year. She probably distrusted the Reflection at first because there's no such thing as a good god where she comes from (to her knowledge, at least), but by now she's settled pretty solidly into following whatever instructions the godling offers and helping them with their homework.
She's probably filled out her book of ethics quite a bit over the last year; I don't have the time to actually write it all out, but she would tend to add rules and so forth to her book in response to discussions with others. I'm set on Ecks's code as it applies to major stuff like murder and deliberate theft, but if your character has an outlying opinion on a moral issue they could well have swayed her on it.
