FLORI IRWIN

final ref for now IM FREEEEE

[riiov]

department of robot affairs and it’s just 2 malicious robots… i guess bro 🤦

[riiov]

MCNT

Your friendly companion!

maybe not so fun fact about MCNT, they have what is essentially robot brain damage! most of their drives are corrupt and he struggle to remember basic things. this includes his original given name, which is why he now goes by the first 4 letters in his serial number.

[riiov]

TAPE

The robotic head of the DRA (department of robot affairs)

[riiov]

tape is really funny because he’s a terrifying presence in every story he’s in except in the REC where he’s just tzery’s mildly autistic son

gainian robots only have 3 senses: sight, hearing, and electromagnetism, (tape technically has 4 since he has touch sensors in his fingers but he’s the exception) so none of them really have any idea what tasting or smelling is like but many are curious

[riiov]

ERRK VARFOR

The first successful consciousness transfer done by JVL.

THIS CHUD NEEDED IT SO BAD. he has the most design changes out of them and i think he looks so much better now. he always looked a bit off compared to all the other robots, and he is supposed to look kind of weird but not THAT weird. he looks way more like how all other gainian robots look, his joints make more sense, his colors are more balanced, hell i even finally explained some of his weird design quirks since i was too much of a chud who didn’t want text cluttering my refs before. not to mention the clothes he finally has clothes that make sense for the limits of his body, his battery overheats often and his knee joint would get snagged on pants, so idk why i had him in a pullover and normal fitting pants

genuinely so happy with this ref and his redesign i have been bouncing off the walls thinking about errk i love this freak so much

[riiov]

MISE VARFOR

The unfortunate son of Dr. Varfor

aaandd mises new ref as well, tried a slightly new way of formatting these to make them more usable

i really like his new clothes courtesy of my wife, as well as the changes i made to his scars

JINX BLONX

Head of research and development, JVL corporation robotics division

working on updating refs for artfight but also just in general since my lovely wife has been helping me with refining everyone’s designs, most of them hadn’t been touched really since 2019 and especially their clothes were not well thought out

SHATTERED ILLUSION

errk and mise design refresh notes + various sillies

i’ve been hard at work with my robots expect more of them
