we're ignoring the fact that these asks are 4 months old because i wanna talk about them on main. this is gonna be an edited repost of a thing i wrote on my rp blog so yah. Once again I operate on the Arigaverse -w-b
Star is overlooked. That's not to say that he's forgotten, or left behind, or excluded from things. It's impossible to do that when his personality, voice, and colors are as loud as they are. No, he's overlooked because he is loud. Because to most, even his own comrades, loud is all he is.
This doesn't bother Star, though. He knows who he is; if the others don't see how perfect he is, they will in time. He is Wily's shining star, after all, his Splendid Noble Youth; a beacon to look to, a beacon to cast light on those lost, to take them under his wing and protect them.
A protector.
Sometimes he wonders why he's the only one with a proper shield; Wood Man's a darling, of course, but his "shield" is more offensive than defensive. His own is far more suited to being an indestructible bubble, so to speak.
These thoughts go as quickly as they come. He has more important things to do, after all; keep watch over the beautiful planet that is his charge, Earth, from his station up in orbit, and serve as the shining pinnacle of the Fifths. His linemates love him dearly, and he loves them too, of course. Why would he not? He has endless love to give, and endless love to bless everyone in the world with, even those of his dear comrades who are less inclined to be cordial towards him. That's okay. They're so very lucky to have him, even if they don't know it yet.
He doesn't hear the ridicule he and his line get from the other Wilybots or even their master himself for being soft, silly, and more than a little absentminded. Or he does, but he pays it absolutely no mind. Their words run off his armor like water off a swan's back.
It's okay; a star burns brightly no matter if anyone's watching or not. When the sky grows dark, though, he knows they'll look to him and take comfort in just how brilliantly he shines.
Star is a LOT to unpack in the Arigaverse, if I'm going to be entirely honest, in a way that I find incredibly fun. He's so fun! He's such a fun character. But a lot of what he's capable of is... It's hidden. Ariga hides a lot of Star's potential under his... well. everything.
To get the most obvious (external) points out of the way, Star's a narcissist with his head in the clouds. Where as Gemini's a narcissist in a more, like, casual sense I guess would be the best way to put it, Star is very much
✨✨ Look At Me! I'm Beautiful!! ✨✨
And this is, like, an overwhelming aspect of his personality. He's always like this, even when he's alone. He's someone who not only believes everyone should love him because he's beautiful, but he loves everyone because he's so beautiful. Isn't that wonderful? You're being graced with the attention and adoration of the most gorgeous Robot Master in existence, ahuhuhu~
He flirts, he flounces, he flusters. He is a walking canister of glitter and he will shower that shit on everyone.
But.
Beyond that, and even beyond his ditziness and cluelessness on the rare moment where he's not being flamboyant, is an aspect that I think is very overlooked by just. Fans in general, I guess.
The Star Crash is indestructible.
Like. I don't know how I can emphasize this enough.
The Star Crash is indestructible.
It only breaks if Star himself falters or loses concentration. It shielded not one, not two, but four robots from burning to an absolute crisp in the atmosphere. COMPLETELY.
That is fffffffffffffffffffffffucking insane.
And this is another point that I'd like to talk about, actually, because?? To point to the X era real quick: there are no Reploids built for space. None. Whatsoever. No, I don't count Lumine and the Jacob Elevator, Lumine was not built for space. There is not a SINGLE Reploid built with the intention of not just surviving, but functioning and thriving in space. Somehow, all of that was?? lost in the time period between the Classic and X eras. There are just three canon space-ready Robot Masters as well, those being Star Man, Astro Man, and Galaxy Man. I don't remember enough about Galaxy Man's stage to really say, but I know Astro isn't in space. He's in a planetarium. Star Man is the only one stated to actually fully be in space. The first AND most famous of the space Masters is Star Man, and I think that is for very, very good reason. That shit is SO hard to do. Dr. Light himself didn't make a Robot Master designed for space until four generations later, with Galaxy.
Do you know how much can go WRONG when making a craft intended for space? How much everything has to go EXACTLY RIGHT at the SAME TIME? HOW SMALL the probability of a purely perfect operation is? For a robot that can think and move independently on its own, that becomes ten times smaller, and ten times more important.
With that in mind, I don't blame Wily for being so exasperated with Star all the time ajfjskgkskfk. Star's one of his greatest creations, in my honest opinion. And he's just so -clenches fist- ditzy..!
But to me, Star Man reads as a well of untapped potential. But it's the kind of potential that, much like Star himself, needs witnesses to truly flourish and shine. He performs best in a group, where the Star Crash can maximize its use and he has others to focus on, like his brothers. His potential is so great and so overshadowed by his personality that even Wily forgot about it.
Star is someone who isn't really actively seeking appreciation, but who other people find a new respect for when they realize he is genuinely capable and powerful. Maybe not so much in terms of raw strength, but the ability to protect? That is something that a lot of the Wilybots are severely lacking, and it makes Star all the more invaluable to them.
((Being a servicebot, particularly one intended for customer service, he is naturally very attentive. It’s in the name! He’s sensitive to shifts in tone and atmosphere and will be very quick to not only pick up on how you feel, but do something about it.))
💚
((With that in mind, Shade is also naturally a bit of a workaholic. He keeps himself extremely busy and is constantly working on or checking up on something, actively or even just passively in one corner of his processor. You will have a very hard time pulling him away from a desk, let alone the city.))
((Lavender is often the one that Luna and Kestrel go to for emotional support. He's more than happy to listen to his sibling's troubles and offer his advice when he can. Specifically for Luna, he knows exactly what tea flavor will help calm her down (it's Cinnamon Apple :] ))
