MTR Doris Takeover AU P2
Oh, your gunna be real sad here, mate. Fran is the only person POSSIBLE to write HCs about.
Neil is termination two. In this timeline Dor-15 had taken over before Wilbur was born and killed Cornelius after forcing him to watch his family become enslaved. Therefor he is dead, and Wilbur was never born.
I will gladly do Franny, and to make up for the lack of characters you specified, here’s how Carl, Billy, Joe and the twins and holding up.
FRANNY.
The curator of our happy little gang.
She manages all the ‘zombified’ family, commanding them house tasks while Gaston manages the sentient ones.
She doesn’t show a lot of emotion. She isn’t controlled, but does have a Dor-15 with her, Bowler Hat guy style.
She bonded with the Dor-15, which is named ‘Fr-11’ [pronounced frie] and is more docile than normal Dor-15.
The hat does a lot of her action thinking.
If she has any empathy for her family, she hides it.
Her apathy is one of the reasons Art gave up. If Franny crumbled under the force of the helping hats, then all hope was lost.
Gaston despises her demeanor. He wants to shake her into showing any feelings.
CARL.
Poor guy is rusting.
Carl has two distinct modes that are triggered on an off by a massive switch on his ‘back’.
Back is in quotations because it’s really an attachment to his back - a modified Dor-15 connected to his main power.
When is his controlled mode, Carl acts like a drone of sorts. He attacks anyone who isn’t a Robinson with no remorse or need for permission.
When he’s on his normal mode he tends to be the only positive light in the family, trying his hardest to socialize with those barely sentient.
Hes the only person Gaston is okay dropping his guard around.
His write arm got destroyed from rust damage, and is down to the wire. Hes in a bad state, lots of exposed frames.
He refuses to get repaired because he would rather be shut down than let Dor-15 get more inside his wires.
BILLY.
Both in semi-sentience, but are considered the least sentient of the family who aren’t zombies.
Billy manages most of the practical house stuff. Getting food, keeping lights on. She also manages multiple work districts in Tommorowland.
Billy isn’t super aggressive, but she will destroy anyone who picks a fight. She cannot attack without permission, but if hit in any way she will mercilessly destroy her enemy.
Monologues a lot.
Works on making efficient transport systems for coal and materials across work districts.
Even in her controlled stupor, she is still sometimes seen giggling happily as she works on her trains, filling them with coal.
Her trains are everywhere in the city. If it’s a vehicle more than 20 feet long, she made and manages it.
JOE.
Joe is the least sentient by technical standards.
He spends most of his day watching the cameras, and never seems tired of it.
In fact, his devotion and unwavering blankness makes him seem like a zombie, but he isn’t. He is sentient.
He was already non-verbal pre-takeover, only saying a handful of words by will but writing often
A Dor-15 sometimes speaks for him, but he doesn’t usually need it.
He wears a visor that allows him to remotely see as many camera screens as needed at once if he moves away.
The visor also controls a pack of Dor-15, which all bend to his will.
Think the villain from Big Hero 6’s nanobots.
SPIKE AND DIMITRI.
Alive, and mostly unharmed.
They were forced to evacuate their pots as Dor-15 destroyed almost all plant life.
They like to poke their heads from pipes, Mario style.
Dimitri acts mostly the same, but it’s unclear if that’s because he cares little for the family, or he’s coping.
Its more likely the latter.
Spike on the other hand it taking the situation more seriously.
He resides often in the vents and watches the family, doing small works of sabotage to keep Franny and Gaston busy.
Only Laszlo knows they’re there, but everyone thinks he’s crazy, so they ignore him.
They bring Laszlo paint and scrap metal in exchange for food.
Dimitri never leaves the pipe, but Spike occasionally leaves to scuttle off and steal stuff for their survival.
Dimitri has eaten a vent rat. He didn’t need to; they had food. He just wanted to. Said it was ‘authentic apocalypse experience.’
