Time for something more light hearted! ;p
Darryl was also a Bot from the army who someway, somehow, deflected from the Bot Army and wandered off on his own. (Nobody knows about this, probably.)
He may have been faulty, or he may have just developed his own consciousness. Either way, the moment he saw the vast ocean he knew that it was the love of his life.
Unfortunately, he knows water and robots don't mix together so well, so he uses a wooden barrel to protect himself- the bot equivalent of a life jacket!
Currently he works along with Tick at Staar Park. Tick was made as a Security Guard type. He could lure out and track down individuals. Together, they made for an unstoppable team at stopping people in their tracks.
At this point, Darryl is a very threatening figure, with a menacing voice to match.
One night, the duo corners a silhouette they've been tracking. It's a young girl.
She explains fearfully that her parents worked for Staar Park but they left her there, and she wanted to leave too.
Darryl explains that nobody can leave but feels... guilt when the child pleads with him.
He and Tick lead her to the main building where he makes the case to let her be. Unfortunately, they don't, but they do reach a compromise.
She won't be forced to work but he has to take care of her. Instead of a night job, he would be manning an area of the Park.
Tick liked working with Darryl so he garbles that he would join them.
Since then, Darryl has all but raised the girl. He named her Penny (Yes, she had a name but he considers it a type of reprogramming- so it's Penny now.), changed his voice because it scared the kiddo too much, and at her beckoning, made every holiday she looked forward to the best he possibly could.
(She loved all the holidays.)
