What is Stibbs?
(your sister(?) made me curious)
I’m 99.9% sure this is from my sister.
Regardless, I’m always happy to answer questions about my OCs.
Stibbs is one of my OCs from my story called Odd Haul. I actually have a side blog for it now @oddhaul , though its a very empty side blog atm.
To answer this ask in character however…

[In the character of some civil servant in the Odd Haul universe]
“Dear anonymous,
Stibbs is a combat automaton who serves aboard the Lex Talionis under the command of that ship’s captain, Sir Romeo.
Whilst Stibbs may come across as threatening, both in appearance and mannerisms, please know that he is solely designed to defend the crew of the Lex Talionis and, by extension, the residents of Pipeline.
Should you see Stibbs or any of his crewmates in public we strongly advise you to be considerate of how you present yourself in their presence, as Stibbs takes his security very seriously. Even the slight hint of violence, accidental or otherwise, could cause Stibbs to respond quite firmly.
You may find that the public holds a favourable opinion of Stibbs as both he and Sir Romeo’s crew have kept Pipeline safe from Pentacostian pillaging ships of the better part of a decade.
Therefore, we ask that you too show some respect to some of Pipeline’s oldest guardians. Should you see Stibbs, or any famous defender of Pipeline for that matter, please don’t disturb their work or make a big deal of their public appearance. Should you feel the need to, offering nothing more than your thanks for their long service.
Below is a picture of Stibbs apprehending a hatchet waving citizen. Understand that this citizen was harmlessly using the hatchet for wood carving, however Stibbs’ processing insisted to act first and confirm safety second. Take this instance as an example to act peacefully around this automaton.
Sincerely,
The Mayoral Office, Oil Rig Delta, Northwestern Quadrant.”
