#314flip

they're from the same wip fic/au as the oc in a previous post, dog. 'flipscreen' or 'flip' can be used to refer to both of them at once.

dusk and dawn function similarly* to the original sun/moon. they attend the daycare at a strangely-themed sci-fi/fantasy fazbear location. (kind of a starwars-ripoff-type-place?)

they're able to change the touchscreens on their face/chest to practically anything - like video or security feeds.

dusk likes to use simple, kiddish graphics and pictures. his expressions are incredibly varied and exaggerated. it's easy to tell what's going on in the bot's head - everything he's thinking is more or less displayed on the screens. he can't really help it.

dawn doesn't emote quite as much, usually sticking to a static smile. he has a much tighter control on his displays and body language, and is much harder to read. he'll use text emoticons, but - (typically) - only when he's doing some sort of a bit.

they speak with a kind of oddly-clipping and artificial voice, similar to a vocaloid. dusk is higher-pitched and quick-speaking, and dawn is slower and 'breathier' sounding.

they (probably) wouldn't fight. dog has no animosity towards flip, and flip's not (usually) the type to be outright aggressive.

dusk is a coward and a pacifist. dawn, on the other hand... may very well throw himself at someone in a fit of rage if he's pushed past a tipping point.

dog's been rebuilt over and over, refined and trained... specifically for bot fights.

flip is like half of dog's weight, and their only experience with fights is prying screaming children off each other as a daycare attendant. they don't have, uh, 'security protocols'.

dog would fucking obliterate flip </3

i'll give you a basic rundown on their personalities! i wanted to withhold most of the info until i published my fic at first, but i've decided idgaf.

dog: quiet. comes off as rude or irritable, but. honestly he's just fucking weird and can't interact with others outside of a 'performance' situation. in fights he's loud, cocky and quick-witted with taunts, but its just a part he's playing.

dusk: pretty fussy and nervous, excessively eager to please. a little too eager - he might get overbearing! fucking chill out man. he's undyingly curious about the world but doesn't really have an outlet for that hunger. optimistic. and he likes... hyperpop and vocaloid...?

dawn: very good at keeping up a cheery, bright front. professionally kind and courteous. and an absolute nuclear-meltdown-level of a hater. never to a person's face; but he is so full of pent-up rage he is practically boiling inside at all times. hates the world and everything in it. pessimistic.
