Their name is supposed to sound vaguely like thumbtack, and are based on sticky notes!

I imagine that, for the cogs that can tolerate their constant (well intentioned but nonetheless annoying) reminders, they’re like a diligent little pocket friend that won’t hesitate to call out other cogs for not following the rules. They like being of service and getting head pats from important people.

GETS ALONG WELL WITH: Bellringer because his dinging and donging compliments their passive aggressive reminders very nicely! It’s like the -ping- sound you dread when your manager DMs you on Zoom when youve fucked up.

Move ideas:

- can cover UI with sticky notes, rendering some gags inaccessible until they fall off. can be washed off with squirt gags or will fall off if a cog uses quake. 

- can blow up the in-game chat with "Friendly Reminders!" which doesn’t sound too bad until a friendly reminder about COGS INC memos and things get in the way of trying to communicate with other toons. Most of their reminders are long winded passive aggressive emails meant for other cogs.

- can stall a battle by interrupting and giving a lecture, allowing cogs to join the battle if there are any waiting or walking into the room.

- to know if the Friendly Reminder is going to enter a battle later, there will be sticky notes littered around the first area/floor. They aren’t found on streets.

 - Defeating a friendly reminder can reward a variety of stickers, a sticky note for your toon’s forehead, or the Reminder Behinder, which is just the Friendly Reminder version of a flunk trunk/caller hauler
