Cores

Cores otherwise known as Aperture Science Personality Cores, or Aperture Science Personality Spheres are AI's contained in relatively small spherical bodies.

Most cores have different eyes that help to tell them apart, and while this doesn't happen in game, the community has taken to colouring the spherical shells of the Cores to add more personality.

Most Cores have one personality trait or focus, that they are based around, this may be very prominent, or very slight when it comes to influencing their actions.
