#humpty

Alright, here’s a rough summary of how I came up with their personalities (I’d originally imagined most of them with the same personality, so I had to improvise though that might change).

I stole Arms' personality from my friend because I literally couldn't picture him any other way. The guy is super chill, slow, and lazy pretty carefree but at the same time, he’s kind of aggressive and gets angry easily… I like to think his arms are so long he can't hold them up, so he just drags them around and trips over them lol… And also another headcanon i stole from my friend is that he steals money from others taking advantage of his long arms Basically, if you want to sum it up, he’s a pothead and an alcoholic.

Frankly was probably the hardest character to give a unique personality to, considering how little I had to go on. So, I basically came up with this (though I might change it): he’s pretty cocky, talks trash to his fellow bots, and thinks he’s cool while scaring kids (stole that from my friend too). But at the same time, he’s really chill and likes "girly" things though he’s super embarrassed about it, so he just keeps it hidden… And now that I think about it, he’s probably a glutton too.

Ahhh, Humpty my favorite robot from the game (aside from Grounder, obviously), at least in terms of design. Figuring out his personality was my favorite part, too. I thought about making him a fancy gentleman, but considering his animations aren't exactly "intimidating" compared to the others, I imagined Humpty as a coward who just wants friends but always gets ignored. I also think he cries a lot lol. And since the poor guy can barely move or even stand still, I imagine the others tease him for it poor thing.

Davy was the second hardest for me to figure out, and honestly… I’m still not totally sold on him, so I might change him up. For now, I picture him as your typical cartoon cowboy with ninja-like skills. He’d be quite agile and stealthy though also pretty gross and would take his job as a bounty hunter very seriously; he loves money more than anything. He tries to act all serious, but he gets really excited when things go his way (based on his neutral and victory animations).

To be honest, Skweel was easier to figure out than I thought. He’s a grumpy, pessimistic, and mocking sort of guy. He dislikes socializing, prefers working alone, and isn't easily impressed that’s pretty much all there is to him.

Dynamigth was an easy one; he’s hyperactive, playful, and a bit of a goofball. Even though he’s a mid-tier enemy, I picture him as a total moron who’s super easy to trick. He’s also really impressionable if he feels a strong emotion, he just explodes. I like the detail that he’s almost always smiling, so I decided to keep that for this version of him, that’s why he’s smiling in every single one of his expressions.

Spike ended up with the personality I originally imagined for most of them mostly because I don't like his design. He’s your typical bully character who thinks he’s better than everyone else and makes others miserable, but he’s so fragile that a stiff breeze could kill him. And he’s not like Skweel, by the way; he’s less grumpy, pessimistic, and sarcastic.

Sir Ffuzzy Logik was another easy one to figure out. Since he speaks in Old English, I imagine him as extremely serious and dedicated… maybe too serious and dedicated for the group of companions he’s stuck with. He wishes he were the leader instead of Dragon Breath and wants to be in a group with fewer idiots. Still, he acts as a parental figure to the others, always looking out for them and making sure they don't screw things up. He loves meditating and telling old stories that nobody asked to hear.

And finally, there’s Dragon Breath… he’s, uh… well, he’s just like he is in the series. He’s somewhat naive and polite accidentally scaring people without realizing why and tends to think people are just being rude. At the same time, he’s a very dedicated leader who holds grudges; he specifically hates Sir Ffuzzy Logik for no reason (no, seriously, why did he hate him in the game? lol).

[ID:

1 : "I, in my corner, with my monstrous needs.", underlined in red

2: "I need you to love me more / Love me more, love me more / Love enough to fill me up / Fill me up, fill me full up / I need you to love me more / Love me more, love me more / Love enough to drown it out / Drown it out, drown me out". Dark red text on red background.

3: "You’re exhausted because [highlight-start] you’re looking for love every second of every day, in everything you do. [highlight-end]". Black on white; gray highlight.

4: Photograph of a ceramic sculpture of an anatomical heart. There is a big, roundish hole in its center. The heart is painted red and white to resemble the color of flesh; it darkens nearing the edge of the hole, which are black. The background is black.

5: "I don’t know what I want, only that I’m desperate for it, that I can’t stop asking." . The pic is a screenshot of an indented tumblr textpost, background set in dark mode.

6: It’s a manga comic strip that reads from right to left. It opens with a quadrangular text box: “Every part of me started going cold.”. In the middle of the strip are drawn three scenes of life, which depict a shivering woman with a bob cut (the protagonist) struggling to warm herself up: she hugs herself in a blanket near a heater (1), she bathes in hot water (2), she buries herself under a futon dryer (3). Near each scene there’s written, in order,: “HEATER” (1), “BATH” (2), “FUTON DRYER” (3). Over the third scene, with an arrow pointing to it, there is an additional text that reads: “APPARENTLY, YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS…”. The strip closes with another quadrangular text box: “No matter what I did, I couldn’t warm up”. The blanket, the hot water and the futon, all in pink, are the only colored parts of the strip.

7: “It is thus impossible for the grandiose person to cut the tragic link between admiration and love. In his compulsion to repeat [underline-start] he seeks insatiably for admiration, of which he never gets enough because admiration is not the same thing as love. It is only a substitute gratification of the primary needs for respect, understanding, and being taken seriously —needs that have remained unconscious. [underline-end]”. After a line of blank space, the text continues: “ [...]If his success the previous night only serves as the denial of childhood frustrations, then, like every substitute, it can only bring momentary satiation. [underline-start]In fact, true satiation is no longer possible, since the right time for that now lies irrevocably in the past. [underline-end]The former child no longer exists, nor do the former parents. The present parents—if they are”. Black on white.

8: “[highlight-start] I need something bigger than the sky /Hold it in my arms and know it's m

ine [highlight-end] / Just how many stars will I need to hang around me / To finally get somewhere I can be all done / Somewhere like heaven”. Black on white; pink highlight.

9: Photograph of a ceramic sculpture of the nude upper body of a woman. She has pale skin, black length shoulder black hair with bangs and closed eyes. Her expression is one of resignation, sorrow and hopelessness. Like in the heart before, there is a big roundish hole through the middle of her chest. It’s edges are red, though, and the color slowly fades on the skin. It’s the same shade of red of her cheeks (that goes up to her eyes, making her look like she has just finished crying), mouth, nose and chin. The background is black.

10: “I broke what you gave me / But you kept giving more / And I'm sorry for taking / [highlight-start] But I keep wanting more, more, more, oh [highlight-end]”. Black on white; dark gray highlight over white text.
