I'm back working on my BotanyBot project again, where I'm designing fictional botany themed robots 🌱

These two new additions are the BiomeBots, available as either a terrestrial model or an aquarium model. While similar in features to the SolarBots, these robots have more advanced systems capable of nurturing entire terrariums in their bodies rather than just one plant, and can even host small beneficial animals like isopods or shrimp. They monitor the environment inside their casings 24/7, and will send text alerts if their tanks need cleaned - if you neglect them for too long, they might just walk up to you to alert you in person!

Halcyon is a surgical grade medical robot, though their line of models were returned and mass-decommissioned after its company decided their high baseline empathy code was a potential safety issue, seeing as this feature made them susceptible to becoming sentient. Halcy has been sentient for a while but appears to have slipped under the radar and still remains in practice, leaving them as somewhat last of its kind (with the rare few that were allowed to continue operating).

Harbinger is a prototype war machine made for a war that ended up never happening. Her model therefore never made it to full-scale production, so she's the only existing unit of her kind. A lot of her time was spent chained up and locked away, giving her plenty of time to get pent-up and accumulate resentment. She'll eventually break free and gets into a situation that leaves her severely damaged, which is when Halcyon will find her and nurse her back to a functional state (the bandages on her neck and the red wiring in her torso is actually Halcy's handiwork). Her vocal processor however could not be salvaged, rendering her mute. She can manage the occasional chirp or whistle, but prefers to just express herself with basic sign language (which she is still learning how to do). Sentience is new to her and she struggles with it, leaving her frustrated more often than not, which when combined with her inherent drive for violence proves awfully destructive. And that's where Halcyon does their best to help :)

Little size diff comparison I put together for their ArtFight profiles ⬇️

so anyone remember that robo oc I made a while back? I've got a story in mind involving him but i gotta develop it out a lot more. I also gotta make more characters for it lol.

Soon it shall be time for maniacal giggles!
