Sketch of an idea I had for an AU Rick. He specializes in nuclear weapons, a bit crazy in the head, and love explosions a little bit too much....

I'm ready for love, and I'm ready for war But I'm ready for more I know that nobody's ever been this fucking ready before So figure it out, or don't figure it out I figured it out

the bigger the river the bigger the drought

had this one on my brain since late June! I wanted to draw something up for it since then!!! “My name is Human” by Highly Suspect works very well for Repo Units, knowing they are at the bottom of the ladder, that Ricks and Mortys under the Citadel are not free, that no one is and pitting one against the other isn’t doing anything except entertaining those in power.

I love that line about the drought because it makes me think of the whole “trickle down effect” people were saying would happen if the rich were allowed to stay rich--but meanwhile, the river gets bigger and it never spills over, and everyone is dying.

Well I figure the Citadel was the same way, and those who figured it out were cast out or killed. They could see the way it choked everyone around them.

I gave you my heart I gave you my soul Yeah, but baby, I was born to rock and now I gotta roll

This started out as just background practice, 'cause I was rewatching the Oh Mama video and just CHEFS KISS at the backgrounds in that. Needed the practice!!! And there's Repo, once again not the center of the art piece because that's true to his whole deal. He's a side character, not a main.

Figure I should condense a lot of Repo Rick's info on this blog since I don't expect people to follow his rp blog just to learn about him.

(TW: drugs, alcohol, torture, death)

   Retrieval Units are Ricks and Mortys that committed some crime against the Citadel in one way or another, and rather than killed outright or sent to some unimaginable torture device, their memories are wiped, their genius is severed and they are transformed into servants of the Council. Retrieval Units (or REPOs) are intellectually castrated Ricks and emotionally detached Mortys who are fully aware that they are supposed to be different than what they are now. For example, the Ricks know they’re supposed to be super geniuses, but when they look at complex equations, they cannot put anything together, turning to significantly higher percentages of alcohol and drugs to numb their frustrations and mental impotence. Repo Mortys are more apathetic than regular Mortys, finding it harder to become excited about strange and new things–this isn’t just because of their brains being fucked with, but because the Council has had the REPO units beaten and tortured until they are compliant. Because even if you can take away a Rick’s intellect, you also have to break his spirit.

   Despite turning to something to numb their pain, those highs are short lived. Cloning facilities were taking way too many resources, and so they were cut for the Retrieval Units. Instead, all Retrieval Units are injected with an Immortality Serum that makes them, effectively, unable to die. They will heal from every single injury, no matter how fatal. If a Repo Unit is blown to smithereens, those smithereens will regrow, bit by bit, until a singular entity is completely full again, in horrific, screaming agony. Every second is felt, and it is painful. They will always grow back, no matter what.

   The collar around their necks are meant to track their location, but also have a more sinister use. Instead of just blowing them up because if their immortality, the collars have an atomized black hole located within them–removing the collar without the proper protocols will cause the one it’s assigned to to crush into themselves, becoming a black hole singularity completely contained to themselves, until they are retrieved by the Citadel (usually in a small marble of agony.) And they feel all of it. C-137 has gotten Repo quite a few times with that number. Repo Units don’t get numbers, they don’t have universes anymore. They’re seen as lower than dogs, they are looked down on by every Rick out there. They represent what no Rick should ever be–subservient and stupid.

   Repo as he’s nicknamed since he doesn’t have any other descriptors (other than ponytail) doesn’t have a Morty anymore. Rattail, his Morty, died. When they were supposed to be injected with the immortality serum and sent through trials to prepare them for actual missions, Rattail somehow missed his injections. Whether it was due to a fear of needles and craftiness, or Repo’s personal training officer having some fun at Repo’s expense by giving Rattail a placebo, no one can really say. Certainly not Repo, as he stood at the end of a corridor, staring in abject horror as his assigned Morty–Rattail–lay impaled and smushed between two spiked platforms–one that came from the floor, the other from the ceiling. Repo pulled Rattail’s wreckage of a body from the trap, waiting for him to regenerate, ready to hold his assigned grandson as the kid would undoubtedly shriek as his body regrew–but it never happened. His Morty was dead, forever. There was no cloning allowed for Retrieval Units.

   Repo would gather some of Rattail’s corpse into a small vial, keeping it on his person at all times–hope that he could have Rattail cloned from that small sample, and see his grandson again. Assigned or not.

During the Rickshaw Redempetion, Repo fought against Federation Bugs AND Ricks--he was trying to defend himself, for the most part, but seeing Ricks using their Mortys as meat shields disgusted him. He ended up getting disabled when his collar was ripped off and he got stuck in his own black hole until around the time of the Ricklantis Mixup. When seen again, he's trapped in a cell, under penalization for killing Ricks that weren't on the list. When President Morty is elected, Repo is released from prison, and his work parameters are adjusted to suit the President's needs.

He's also able to live in the city rather than just stay to the facility or out in his space ship. Repo usually lives in Mortytown these days when he's not traveling, although he prefers NOT to go back to the citadel.

(these comics are old)

I'll put what he's doing post season 5 in another post.

Why doesn't Repo go to any Rick to get the collar removed? Well, because, the technology to create it isn't that difficult but a whole black hole is pretty powerful to own. If you create the technology to seal that black hole and keep it from activating, it's likely a conditional. Repo doesn't trust a Rick to not just put the collar back on him, and he knows most of them aren't dumb enough to not arm themselves with auto-defense measures.

The other thing was that MOST RICKs are disgusted by Retrieval Units. They're basically slave-class Ricks and Mortys and seeing a Rick reduced to servitude is too much for the egotists to handle. They could do something about it, but most Ricks would rather point and laugh. A Rick going to them and begging for help is extremely disgusting, by their standards. Repo has a little dignity left, and he refuses to hold any Rick in such high regard.

If he's gonna get Rattail back, it's going to be at gun point, with a lot of screaming and threats. If he has to threaten a Rick's family to do it, he will. Really, the only Rick that might actually help him based on it being the Right Thing to Do would either be Doofus or Healthy Rick.

Personality wise, he's closer to Cop Rick except washed down with so much apathy and a lot... a LOT of rage. He has a soft spot for kids, he grew more compassionate after being made into this undying slave to fascist ideals that is the Citadel. Being immortal wouldn't be so bad if he were actually free, like he's supposed to be.

Maybe one day he'll get his massive intellect restored, but if it happens, don't expect warm hugs and wholesome moments. YOU WANT A TERRORIST? I'LL SHOW YOU A TERRORIST, CITADEL--
