Is it alright to come up with a variant of TV/Radio of our own like an AU of sorts with our own lore and everything or would you not like that?

Yeah, that's completely fine! As long as I'm given credit for the original/origin of course, hehe ^^ I actually would love to see what everyone creates for my little guy, and see how crazy his design could get! <3

All TVs/Radios have a few things in common, both story, design, and functionality wise, so I'll put some of that information here!

I usually refer to TV/Radio as 02, to simplify that I mean the both of them. Both TV and Radio are their own individual people, but are originating from the same robot; which was designated as "02"!

(Fun Fact about both TV and Radio: TV and Radio were names given by those around them! When 02 first came to this multiverse, he didn't have a name! So that means that you get to name your own version!)

All 02s will have: - 02 written on their chest (typically in the same spot) - A TV on their back! (That holds a mini-pocket dimension for storage) - TV Antennae on their TVs (The shape can vary!) - Star markings of some kind on their face (This can vary!) - Black tears coming from their eyes (OooOooOO spooky lore reasons; the severity of the tears can vary!) - Large tubing/plugs on their back! (These are used/behave like tentacles) - Claws! - Sharp teeth! - Screen eyes (They can change color!) - An abdominal hatch that can open fully! (and contains large SOUL canisters) (lore reasons iojgdosijgiosfjiosf)

All 02s need a SOUL to function! They usually keep it in the MAIN SOUL CANISTER in their abdominal cavity!

here's TV and Radio showing off their respective SOULs :D

02 itself doesn't have an actual SOUL since it is inorganic, BUT needs a SOUL as a power-source! It could technically be anyone's! >> Without a power source, 02 would be in LOW-Battery mode! (he sort of is like that by default)

His COLOR also can be impacted with what SOUL he has! (as seen with Radio) Also, each variant will have it's own EYE-SHAPE! Typically star-themed, they can come in a variety of shapes and colors! :D

If you want an example of some variants I have made already (that you may or may not see future art of...):

(Look at how many variants there are! They are all so dear to me <3 Note: Both Vendetta/Renaissance are special cases of 02! I'm planning to release their story soon! ^^)

All 02s are amnesiacs! They don't remember what they are, what they are supposed to be doing, why they are where they are, etc.

It is up to those around them to MOLD who they turn out to be! (If you want more on this, here's another post that covers a bit of it!)

His default personality/behavior is curious, co-dependent, and a strong desire to help!

There is A LOT about 02/TV/Radio that is beneath the surface, but I hope to explain/show those off as they come up ^^ But for now, here's the VERY BASIC BASIC info! <3

[thedarkzyxabyss]

hihi!! I saw on insta recently that u posed like a relationship chart of stellar static but sadly I couldn't read it well bc the quality on insta always sucks a lil 💔 could you post it here too?

OMG YES OMG IOSJGSIOJGSO

I HAVE SEVERAL CHARTS I CAN ACTUALLY POST HERE HOLD ON

ok ok ok so here's the relationship chart thing Gala and I did in like November 2024

AND THEN THERE ARE THESE LIKE FOOD MEMES THAT I JUST FILLED OUT FOR MY 02 VERSIONS SO HERE'S THOSE!

also created this back in Nov. 2024 as well, for Radio!

[thedarkzyxabyss]

How did the science crew band together/meet eachother? And is there some bigger corporation behind all of you guys' research or is it simply because you felt like it?

[thedarkzyxabyss]

how important is the number 02 on radios chest? I was wondering if I could change it to a different number for my au oc version thing of them

Oh, the 02 on Radio’s chest is INSANELY important.

That’s his serial number! He’s the 2nd unit out of a set of 6 (although he doesn’t quite remember that…)

I was supposed to post a comic about his backstory, but I quickly lost steam 🥹

So here, have the 1st page + concept sketches of the other units out of context,,,

They are also referenced in my Game of Life animatic on my YouTube channel! Their unit numbers are a part of their identity!!

That’s why I refer to Radio and TV, and all the other variants of that character, specifically as 02s! Since that’s what their original “starting point” was before they got fractured into a bunch of different variants ^^

An easier explanation for this is like a beam of white light hitting a prism!

Since 02 isn’t * from* Undertale but a completely different, foreign place, he had to have crossed omniverses just to get to where he is now! And I feel like if he is from somewhere which is not quite like Undertale, then his code/body would have had to be “properly translated” so he could exist in this new place… Kind of like translating languages so that it could be understand by two different people.

The 02/Radio that you guys see is fairly different than how he was before traveling to the Undertale Multiverse!

He had an entire story, people he’s left behind, connections and duties that he was in charge of! The weight of his number is important, forever engraved on his chest.

… It’s just a shame that he forgot what he was supposed to be doing in the first place, thanks to the “translation” between omniverse/ multiverses 💀

I’ll try and post more about his “mysterious past” as time goes on, but his past shouldn’t *fully* interfere with any 02 variant you make (at least, for the most part)! Y’know, since his past is literally multiverse’s away lolol

There are even some cases where some 02 variants just make a new life, completely and utterly unaware of what they were supposed to be doing, in favor of just enjoying what this new reality had to offer!

So yeah, short answer to this question is: Nah. 02 is pretty significant to his story (funnily enough), and would completely change things :3

That shouldn’t stop you from having fun with it, though!

For example, Vendetta (and the clusterfuck that he is) *RESENTS* being who he is to some extent— and this shows on his chest accordingly

(A little sneak peek at what the hell is happening under those clothes btwwwww he’s like a jumble of parts 💀)

Theoretically, it could also be a thing where your variant simply covers his number or replaces it later on! There’s nothing wrong with overwriting something that was there— as long as his previous number had existed before doing so.

Again, the number “02” has significance and weight to it, and I’d hate for 02 to run away from his consequences.

Anyways, have funnnn!!

What is the full model for 02? Like front, back, side for the full robotic model. If that makes sense???

Okay I don't exactly have a full turn around of the 02 model, but I can say that each version of 02 is *slightly* different from each other! Even more so if that specific 02 gets UPGRADED! Here is the closest thing to a turn around for some of them :3

Hopefully soon, I can work out some schematics for how 02 works- down to their functionality and parts! Essentially, 02 is sort-of based off of FNAF animatronics! He has a metal endo-skeleton, lots of wiring, and an "outer shell" casing! His eyes are LEDs and light up, along with his TV screen on his back!

(This is a WIP of a Radio reference I was gonna make! These were early features/made back in September-November 2024 ideas I had for 02 in general :3) (Hopefully I'll finish it someday...)

(WARNING: NAKED ROBOTS (even though there's nothing there lol):

General 02/Base of 02! I don't have a turn-around for this exactly quite yet ^^'

Vendetta's body! He's made up of a BUNCH of different 02s- each that had their own modifications and stuff going on! Vendetta essentially kept all the cool modifications where he could when rebuilding his body :3

An 02/Radio that didn't have the luckiest time! As you can see, some of the endo-skeleton underneath is showing on his arm :3 Also, his face can *technically* crack like an egg, showing some freaky metal underneath :3

A Radio turn-around (made for possible VRC model) to show off what his whole turn around looks like!

And here is a UPGRADED!Radio concept! Still working some things out, but yeah :3

Cheerleader Radio showing off parts of his body (this is a rare sight- he typically doesn't show this much "skin" :skull: Did it for the funnayyyyyy)

Anyways, as you can see, there are a lot of variations out there! They generally stick to the same formula despite it though, which I can (hopefully) get more in-depth with when I make a proper schematic :3

But yeah, here's some of that for now!

[thedarkzyxabyss]

Dark please I NEED to know more about the 02 purple variant wthat looks like a Centipede. PLEASE ON MY HANDS AND KNEES! We don't know anything about them personally or individual for them TvT.

cutely gives you guys a full ref (Cause I finally got around to doing it! :3)

So!

This is V-----! :3 (His name is on a need to know basis keke)

V originates from a part of my multiverse known as the Abyss (separate from the [REDACTED]). The Abyss is basically like Limbo- it's where SOULs of the dead that aren't quite ready to move on tend to gather. If they have unfinished business, or have feelings too passionate to keep them from the afterlife, they reside here!

Most SOULs are trapped there, their name lost to time. However, if certain requirements are met, they can be summoned into the land of the living! These requirements entail: - Their True Name - A Vessel - A Job

These SOULs stick around for as long as their vessel allows them, and the vessel only starts to age/decay once their job is done.

HOWEVER, if in the circumstance that one of these SOULs got their hands on an INORGANIC vessel- one that doesn't rot... well, they may be stuck in the living realm for longer than normal :3

V currently finds themself in such a predicament, having been summoned and possessing a decommissioned/deactivated 02! Equipped with such a versatile body, dangerous weapons, and all the magic from over the years, V is ready to finally be free >:)

V and some other OCs of mine originate from an "Ask The Abyss" event I held on Instagram years and years ago ^^ I wanted to experiment with the ask feature and had a bit of fun with it! (You can actually go on my instagram and refind these :3)

V, The Abyss, and all other related concepts were made years prior- and are just now being re-touched upon ^^ (This was before deltarune, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw it in there :skull:)

[thedarkzyxabyss]

Uh about tv and radio, i want 2 kno the relationship between them. I dont quite understand how it workS

okay i guess i'll give you guys a little context to the happenings with Radio /pos Again, this is an AU with dubiously canon/probably non-canon content haha we'll see

After all, the UTMV is all about AUs and whatnot <3 So everything is dubiously canon to an extent haha

Shattered Dream belongs to @galacii

Hellborn belongs to @moonstardream

No Name belongs to @carrrrino

TV/Radio belongs to me!

[thedarkzyxabyss]

Just checking is there any oc's you wouldn't want used?

I'm not *completely* certain what you mean by this?

When it comes to fanart, fanfic, fan-content centering around them, etc.- I am pretty chill with people using my characters in them!

If you wanted to make a story with them featuring inside of it/showing up/contributing to the plot, I don't mind that either (as long as proper credit is given, and they aren't doing stuff like... idk, saying slurs💀 or participating in content that makes me uncomfortable)!

Throw your OCs at my OCs! I'd love to see all the cool little character interactions hehe!

Most of my characters are fair game for the aforementioned treatment (TV/Radio included)! I do have some characters that I am a tiny bit protective of, but I'll be sure to explicitly state it if/when I post about them :3

But yeah!

And when in doubt, just feel free to ask! ^^
