What was pre-hivemind NULL like?

a stray

[clkookie]

Hypothetically speaking here, but what if NULL and 1x1x1x1 DID reunite? Would they still recognize each other?

Yeah she would recognize him immediately...On the other hand, Null will have a hard time at first recognizing 1x since she mutated after the encounter with 2x2

Bolt: *gives Mumble a strawberry* want some?

sorry my dog bite sometimes :(

mother we crave more null angst. We need to consume more of it.

I have many scenarios in my head where Null suffers but I don't have the time to actually draw/write them like I want to, so for now I can talk briefly about Null and 1x relationship! my doomed siblings!

Let's start on how they met :]

Telamon "adopted" Null from Builderman when he found out that BM was going to deactivate it. At first, this was just to annoy him, but the more he interacted with his new toy, the more he realized why BM was going to get rid of it, so he took it under his wing and decided to make it his disciple. For 1x, this situation was ridiculous, but they knew that once Telamon laid his hands on something, it was impossible to change his mind, especially if it was a whim.

At first, the two fought constantly due to their differing morals. 1x despised Null for getting between her and Telamon when she was badly injured, often destroying its body when it tried to protect them. Despite the rough treatment, Null followed 1x like a little duckling would follow its mother, imitating and learning from them how to behave, since 1x, having been artificially created like Null, was the greatest proof that it could achieve the independence it so desperately sought. It took many years for 1x to begin to feel some pity for the situation Null was in, it was none of her business what the robot was up to, but there was something inside them that burned inside when they saw how it always let itself be trampled on, waiting for promises that would never come.

So she secretly decided to teach it to build character so that others would not walk all over it in its quest for freedom.

The night before the confrontation between 1x and Telamon, the two planned the destruction of Robloxia as a way to rebel against their creators. That night, Null stole the editor cube (the roblox studio powers) from Builderman, but it didn't have the courage to kill him, especially after learning the truth behind Telamon's actions. Null ended up running away, leaving 2x2 to imprison 1x in the banlands shortly after Telamon's death.

Neither of them knows about the other, and it's best that things stay that way.

Could you tell me abt the lore behind your helperbot ocs? I am hoping me calling them that is not wrong lol. I am very interested about like how they came to be! If you don’t feel like it or are otherwise uncomfy, I would like to know anything about your null!

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASK ABOUT THEM!!! Yes, those are my babies helperbots, I call them the Mafia Penguins! and saldly, they are related to Null in many ways but I dunno if I'll talk about that in this post lol

Ok let's start with some basic information about helperbots in general and then some details about the penguins.

There are two types of Helperbots in my au, the classic ones (V1) and the humanoids (V2). The V1 were designed to help around with construction, whether cleaning the area, transporting heavy materials, etc. The V2 at first were also initially designed to do the same tasks as V1s, but they ended up interacting more with robloxians (game developers). Gradually, the following models were manufactured less powerful but more capable to interact with people: some of them were used as "npc" in experiences/games, others ended up in more "humanish" tasks and jobs, just like artificial robloxians, but with less..."personality".

Now, if you're wondering how a helperbot can develop a personality, it's a really easy and difficult thing to explain: by itself, the machine cannot experience these feelings; it needs to me modified by someone else to break the code. Even so, the only case of a helperbot doing this by its own is Null, the penguins were modified by outsiders to become conscious.

Hyun, being the same model as Null (V2.1) was more susceptible to begin acting more “human” once modified. He was stolen by some exploiters and they were using his body as you will use a admin panel to mess around games. The signs were very subtle but the more they keep messing with Hyun, the more he wanted to break free from them.

Helperbots were designed to not hurt anyone,even if they were provoked. You can kick them, punch them and even try to open them up, but they won't hurt you back. At most, they'll try to immobilize you to stop you from handling them.

But if you keep pushing a conscious robot to its limits, what do you think it would do to stop the pain?

Hyun broke the code, the same way Null did it first.

So did Riko, but he didn't end up killing them; he injured himself when he tried to escape from the exploiters. He lost an arm in exchange for his freedom and to get away from those who used his body as a tool to hurt other people.

Yanik, unfortunately, had very bad experiences with the people who rented the helperbot services. She was very vocal with her limits, but those around her hated how loud she was and tried to break her voice box. That didn't stop her from defending herself, so they threw her in a dumpster because she was “defective.”

Mumble was rented by a family to care for a sick relative. It stayed a few years with them until the relative died from their illness. By then, the helperbot services were shut down, as Builderman had disappeared and the admins had more important things to do. They didn't want to keep the robot with them but trying to bring it back to the factory was a risky move, since helperbots roamed the area and attacked anyone who approached the building.

So he was tossed into waste ground. Anthony, in his way home, found it and decided to bring it to the ToolBox Thrift so Vinny and him would dismantle it and sell its parts, but Vinny refused out of fear (legal stuff and also bc robots scared the shit out of him lmao).

All these penguins were rescued and repaired by Mr. Humboldt! (Well, except for Mumble, who had to buy it from Vinny at a very high price*). These little penguins work for him and are very grateful for giving them a second chance and treating them so kindly, to the point that they all see Mr. Humboldt as a father figure :]

(these animal hats are inspired by my friend's hc! go chek it out, they draw cool stuff too hehehehe)

Honestly I'd like to tell more about them...But for now I think this is enough cuz is a really long text haha oops

Facts about pest?? If any? If not that's also cool

Oh sure, sorry for taking so long tho

Pest suffers from tendinitis after being shot in his left arm.

He has a pair of extra arms, but their muscles have atrophied; he can’t do much with them, but he’s undergoing treatment to regain muscle mass.

His exoskeleton is quite soft due to vitamin deficiency from the period of malnutrition he endured in Macabre City.

He has no elytra, so his wings were damaged and eventually torn, they’re also smaller than average, making them useless for flight.

He likes to assemble mecha action figures and sometimes builds small devices to make them move like real robots (is this making toys? Yes, don’t tell anyone).

He also likes to watch mecha anime.

Pest pays off the debt for the things he steals from Scag by doing maintenance on her; sometimes he does maintenance on Prototype too!

He carries a magnet in his pocket in case Scag gets really annoying/persistent about something, and he rubs it in her face.

When Melanie is hanging out with him, Pest uses her as a TV and plays episodes of Dr. House as background noise (she’s fine with that)

How was Dante's first impression on Mr. Humboldt like? I could imagine Dante looking up at him like:

PFFF LMAO ok yeah that's basically how it went but I can't blame Dante for his reaction I mean look at this man....

[clkookie]

Are there any other relationships between Forsaken and Regretevator characters?

Ok here's a few

John and Jane Doe adopted PartyNoob, once they disappeared after the incident, Builderman took care of Poob.

Kasper is Shedletsky's son, even tho Brighteyes is not his biological mother he sees her as one.

Null was Telamon's student and see 1x as its older sister. Builderman is its creator but despises him.

Elliot and Emerson are *cousins! (I'm still cheking if this makes sense in my au) because of that, Emerson knows about 007n7 and Coolkidd

Mach met half of the admins at some point, she talked more to Dusekkar

Telamon and Noli knew about MR, but to them, that rock is not worthy to be called a god

Folly knows all the survivors and killers, she avoids 1x and Noli tho
