			'''Reggie''' is a [[Core\|personality core]] created specifically for the physical ''[[Portal Pinball\|Portal]]'' pinball game developed by [[w:Multimorphic\|Multimorphic, Inc.]], voiced by [[w:Marc Silk\|Marc Silk]]. Designated as the "Teambuilding Core," he acts as the player's primary guide through the [[Aperture Science Enrichment Center\|Enrichment Center's]] "[[The Hub\|Hub]]." His personality is reminiscent of [[Wheatley]], characterized by a chatty and high-energy demeanor.

			Unlike other facility cores, Reggie has developed a significant romantic crush on the [[Weighted Companion Cube]]. He becomes audibly distraught during the events of "Chamber 4," when the player is required to incinerate the cube to proceed. Upon doing so, he calls the player a "[[Chell\|monster]]" before eventually accepting that "it wouldn't have worked out anyways."

	'''Cores''' (also referred to as '''spheres''', '''personality cores/spheres''', or '''Aperture Science Artificial Personality Constructs''') are machines designed to house advanced artificial intelligence, mostly unique for their ability to express emotions. Cores generally come in two varieties: spherical and input. Spheres are the standard form, used as a standalone body for Personality Constructs and in android bodies like [[Atlas]]'. Input cores, by contrast, are elliptical in shape and are used for the [[Turrets#Sentry Turret\|turrets]] and in android bodies like [[P-~~Body~~]]'s. Spherical cores that do not have limbs are generally attached to management rails in the [[Aperture Science]] computer-aided Enrichment Center.

	Developed by [[Aperture Science]] technicians, [[GLaDOS]] is the earliest known personality core - specifically designed for becoming the Enrichment Center's overseer. The next cores developed were given the purpose of counteracting GLaDOS' ~~destructive~~ behavior (such as flooding test chambers and other vital parts of the facility with [[neurotoxin]]) by integrating with her subconscious and altering her personality.		Developed by [[Aperture Science]] technicians, [[GLaDOS]] is the earliest known personality core - specifically designed for becoming the Enrichment Center's overseer. The next cores developed were given the purpose of counteracting GLaDOS' psychotic behavior (such as flooding test chambers and other vital parts of the facility with [[neurotoxin]]) by integrating with her subconscious and altering her personality.

	Often present in the form of spherical shapes, these cores are a more simplistic design as their purpose had been more at hand instead. This contrasts with the majority of the designs of Aperture androids in the Enrichment Center that are personality core-based such as [[Atlas]] (enclosed core design), [[P-body]] (core inputs), and [[Turrets#Sentry Turret\|turrets]] (also core inputs).
