push that stupid bot off a cliff. details abt dog beneath the cut

holy shit watch out for the words

"dog" is a later model of the DCA, part of a group that was mass-produced for a short period. he uses the same base code & design, but he's lost the majority of his original characteristics from repeated rebuilds and heavy modding. he's a heel for a bot fighting ring.

once made for much lighter showbiz, dog uses his loud announcer's voice to hype up fights and taunt the audience. his job is to make them hate him, it's all part of the show.

outside of the ring, all that put-on energy and bravado vanishes. sirius avoids talking and direct eye-contact, his pupils always looking up and away in any direction other than the person who's addressing him. it tends to give him a sneering, sarcastic look, even if the rest of his face is entirely immobile. his passive-aggressive remarks and constant deflections don't help.

he's an antagonist(*?) in a fic im working on, but its not in any kind of presentable state yet.

as a bonus for reading this far: here's a part of (another) dca design. he's in the same universe

Hey! Secret Santa Valentine here! I wanted to ask what kind of fighting style Dog has :)

Like if there's a lot of swiping w those nice sharp claws, or if there's more kicking and punching or...?

Also! It'd be great if you could tag my friend @mushy6902 so they can send it to me (to make sure I actually see it, otherwise I'd have to keep checking ur blog to see if you responded yet)

Hope you have a good day or night!!

hi! thank you! hope ur night/day is going good as well! posting some sketches 4 fun and i'll throw info below the cut :]

(hello @mushy6902!)

idk what i'd call the style, it's somewhere between 'mixed martial arts' and 'mauling things to pieces like an animal' i guess?

he's very light on his feet and sort of dances around, both to dodge and just to tease. fancy footwork. crazy reaction times, often leaning just barely out of the way from a would-be-lethal hit just for the dramatics of it. (this sometimes bites him in the ass, when said ass gets handed to him after doing something stupid.)

he'll also get a little weird with it and move around on all fours, crawling and galloping and pouncing and whatnot. skittering sideways like a crab. handstands. cartwheels.

not really designed for punching. his heavier attacks are kicks. heels are real solid and good for some blunt force damage.

the claws function more like ice picks than knives - impaling, not really cutting. dog waits for openings and brings the claws down hard, piercing and then wrenching off chunks from his opponent. the main goal of these fights is entertainment, so he tries to go for a good balance between drawing things out by chipping away small parts and aiming for vitals.

dusk & dawn! dca ocs. this has been sitting in my drafts forever GO NOW. details beneath cut

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.

both are pretty boisterous and hammy! very clownish on first introduction, being little kid's mascots from the get-go and all. flip plays up this kind of childish and naive persona, but there's more behind it.

fuck iiiiit here comes a dc@(?) oc. Robin. they're Buddies* with sirius and . yes. some info (yapping) below cut

robin's like. mid-late-30's. i would describe their relationship w/ sirius as 'starcrossed'.

they're a bigrig truck driver, warehouse worker, and forklift certified. they're contracted by the same company sirius is owned by, and oftentimes do their work alongside each other. they've figured out how to get around sirius's strange speech protocols and spend a lot of time talking to him, although their relationship is a little odd with a lot of things going unspoken.

they're kinda rude and crass, but overall they're a kind person with a bit of a martyr complex. always putting their neck out for others, to their own detriment. they might put certain people off with their.. unapologetic.. energy.. but in a group of friends they're usually always The Entertainer and the most fun to be around. gets into trouble a little frequently. (theyre a felon lmao but dw abt that)

robin is super into metal - almost every subgenre of metal - though the fav is numetal. they like things that sound harsh, ugly and sometimes just Bad. they collect certain 'vintage' music items, like old mp3 players and radios, and spend a lot of their downtime organizing their large (pirated) music collection, sorting it into various mp3 players they bring with them depending on the mood for the day.

(they bond with sirius over their music, he's got a usb port in the back of his head.. somewheres.. and robin will plug in their mp3 players for sirius to blast the music through the shitty speakers located in his chest.)

((i think i forgot to mention that sirius isnt just a fighting bot and also does Regular Warehouse Worker Bot stuff on the days he isn't fighting...? the demolition derby .. also owns a few warehouses and co-owns a shipping dock))

(((fuck my life?)))
