Updated backstory/lore for Violet~ Trying to tie my characters together nicely...
Originally, V wasn’t named V at all.
Instead, he was merely “Jackal.”
A warbot, with springy legs made for jumping long distances, and large antlers. His name was a shortened form of “Jackalope.” He was never initially intended to wind up as a singer, or the pacifist he is today.
His brother, a bot named “Raptor,” too, was in that war- the both of them being somewhat designed around those animal motifs. They were close- and had eachothers back always... until Raptor failed. He had tried so hard, but Jackal was lost in the midst of war, and Raptor was forced to retreat without his brother. That was the last time they saw eachother. Knowingly, that is.
Jackal was taken captive, but once it became clear that Peter Walter wasn’t going to pay the ransom, Jackal was sold off. He got lucky, though- the buyer was an activist for automaton's rights. A young man named Sascha.
Sascha wanted to rehabilitate Jackal, and to give him a second chance at life. In that process, Jackal changed his name to start anew, changing it to “Violet.” He got a total makeover- from bulky warbot to petite companion automaton. However, the damage and scars of war left his vocoder glitched so badly that he could not pronounce his own name. Therefore, shortening it to 'V’ until Sascha could get the money to repair the robot as best as he could. They didn’t have much- but it was better than nothing.
Gathering parts to fix Violet, and paying off the black market price, though... it put Sascha into a rather deep debt. He tried his best not to let Violet know- he didn’t want that bot to feel guilty.
Desperate, Sascha began to sink low, he signed a job with the Beciles.
They demanded outrageous designs with confidential reasoning, Sascha was unable to ask what they were, but still he had to oblige. He created a machine that ran upon green matter- radiated the stuff.
This caused Sascha to fall sick, rendering him unable to continue working- thus making the dreaded machine his final project. The product was finalized and since Sascha could no longer work, they demanded Violet as payment to keep his house and home.
Of course he refused, causing the two to be forcefully captured. Sascha was restrained, interrogated for information about Violet’s design and origins, but he refused to speak even a word- both out of stubbornness, and having forgot much of it due to the mixed effects of blue and green matter affecting his mind.
The Beciles would send Violet to become a brothel worker for those with the kink of robotic males- a low move done out of spite for how they knew he was originally a Walter creation. Many clients made the thin framed, innocent bot dress in feminine clothing… to the point that he was unsure how to take to male clothing later on. Even to this day, he retains many of those feminine traits. When in the possession of that particular group of Beciles, he’d be punished if he acted otherwise… he never quite got out of the habit, deeply embedded in his programming.
Day by day that Rabbit became more desperate to be free, as much as he tried to pretend he was alright, for Sascha's sake… he couldn’t. Desperate for escape, the veteran bot broke from the hold, and against his own vow of peace… he had to murder men upon his way, finding Sascha tortured and gutted in a chair- scarring that poor Rabbit for life.
Violet was eventually refound by the Beciles, but instead of a second round they would sell him off for scrap. In pieces and packed in a large box- human-sized even, that shipment would become lost, and would not reach its intended destination. The shipment unintentionally ended up in another world, fallen through a portal and taken in by a certain bot and his brother: Gears ( coppergears ) and Static. ( staticspine ) Their Walter Worker, Kay, pieced him back together- surprised that a Rabbit would just wind up on their doorstep... however, they didn’t hesitate to adopt him as one of their own.
Unknowingly, both “Raptor” and “Jackal” would have a reunion- Vulture, another bot adopted by Gears and Static, was truly that brother at heart. Vulture was built off of Raptor’s chassis- he doesn’t have the memories to remember “Jackal” by, but feels a strange connection to the other... as if they’ve known each other for a long time.
The two are unaware of the reasoning for this connection- but they get along very well... almost uncannily so. Maybe one day, they will realize why- but for now, Violet has made himself at home with his newfound family. He has been through so much, and yet remains a gentle soul, only wanting to make others happy.
