Updated the headcanon pages a bit, as well as put things into more organized links.
All headcanons can now be found on the 'character headcanons' page on the main blog hub.
Headcanon pages for other characters will be added and updated over time as I figure out just who is all gonna be on there.
Klunk Headcanons
☆ Enjoys daily naps. Typically has one every day as a way to mentally relax and/or catch up on sleep if he didn't sleep well that night.
☆ Loves drinking tea, prefers sweet and/or fruity flavors. However he will try any new tea he comes across at least once. Lowkey addicted.
☆ Likes sketching and drawing out weapon/gadget designs. His workshop is covered with them, blueprints included.
☆ Whenever he is in the mood to watch holovision/media---fashion content, documentaries (usually either about nature or space), and arena battle coverage are what he usually consumes. He doesn't really care about the news or politics. Non-combat sports aren't too bad but if given the choice he'd prefer to just watch the scenes where players get severely injured and/or killed and laugh at their misfortune.
As for holofilms, his favorite series titled 'Killer Extinction' is a zombie horror comedy---he's a huge fan and has watched the trilogy countless times, even having a crush on the male lead actor. He despises horror films that rely on too many jumpscares and stupid clichés however.
☆ He's a gamer of sorts and enjoys playing a mix of shooters (think GTA style games) and story heavy rpgs with interesting worlds he can immerse himself in. Avoids online games where he has to interact with irl people.
☆ Loves exploring new places and expanding his knowledge about the universe. Will take a ton of notes and document his findings. Abandoned ruins are something that really catch his curiosity and he loves to poke around in them in hopes of finding something cool. He will avoid planets that are too populated with people though.
☆ Crafting and inventing weaponry is something he does on a daily basis, either for himself or for willing clients within the black market network. A majority of his personal weaponry and gadgets are either of his own design or a modded version of the original.
☆ Despite having an interest in weaponry, Klunk will avoid most if not all combat related situations unless forced into one he cannot easily avoid. There are cases where he is more comfortable taking out enemies either his size or smaller though, it really depends on how he's feeling in the moment.
☆ He keeps a handy wrist gadget on him at all times where he stores his personal weaponry and equipment when travelling. This gadget also doubles as a communicator between him and his starship Obsidian, and includes a shield feature for extra protection. It even comes with a little laser zapper when he's feeling spicy.
☆ Has an interest in fashion and likes to dress up sometimes, unfortunately he feels rather self-conscious about wearing certain outfits in public though (dresses and more feminine type clothing for example) so he prefers wearing most of his wardrobe at home rather than outside. One of his favorite accessories to wear are bandannas/neckerchiefs.
When in more populated areas he tends to wear hoodies or cloaks to conceal his presence and/or identity. He heavily dislikes being mistaken for Clank.
☆ His music tastes consist of a mix of emo rock, chill electronica, video game OSTs, and the odd pop song. He likes to listen to music while he works. Listening to Courtney Gears is a guilty pleasure of his. ☆ Despite being able to eat he does not really cook or consume meals. He does like enjoying the odd sweet treat with his tea though, mainly cookies.
☆ Despises winter and cold temperatures in general. Whenever the season rolls around he will mainly stay indoors and do his best to hibernate until spring. If he does need to go out he bundles himself up head to toe like a little burrito and will be really grumpy about it the entire time until he is somewhere warm again.
☆ Has short yet sharp retractable claws. Nefarious added them.
☆ Is very ticklish but will never tell anyone. His sides and feet are especially susceptible to tickles.
☆ Doesn't like being picked up or touched without permission. He especially hates going 'backpack mode' and finds it humiliating.
☆ Likes warm and soft things. His bed usually consists of multiple pillows and plush blankets, as well as the odd plushie---he owns a big shark plushie he cuddles with. If he's feeling especially down he will retreat to a small constructed blanket fort until further notice.
☆ Has an interest in plants (especially ones that are harmful to squishies) but hasn't figured out how to keep them alive yet. Usually he forgets to water them or waters them too much and kills them. There have also been a few occasions where he accidentally destroyed them in a fit of rage.
☆ Klunk struggles with negative emotions and feelings, luckily he has gotten better at controlling himself over the years via deep breathing exercises (think of it as temperature regulation for robots) and various activities to distract himself with. He still has the odd blow up but it's not as often.
☆ Klunk is demiromantic/demisexual, leaning more towards male attraction than female attraction. If you personally ask him what he's interested in he'll probably just tell you to fuck off though since he doesn't really like people or society labelling him.
☆ Dislikes authority figures and old people the most. Will insult your grandma and not regret it.
THE ZONI REPAIRING KLUNK ;w; and him being totally unaware he has a dad (not Nefarious, but Orvus) who showed him grace and gave him a second chance at life—which he proceeded to throw away…depending on one’s hcs and also whether or not secret agent clank is canon. I think it is, because it’s fun :333 that game also shows more of klunk’s complexities, like how he wants to be perceived as a hero, but isn’t the slightest bit interested in helping anyone or making the universe a better place. No, he just wants power, respect, and—possibly—love. But he’s fine with ordering Clank’s death at the hands of hired thugs (he even specifies that they should kill him in a drawn-out and painful way) and putting an innocent lombax in prison. He’s also capable of doing a fair amount of damage despite his small size and the fact that when we last saw him he was looking pretty much dead
AND the whole game he makes no references to Nefarious, unless you count his disdain for organic life forms like Ratchet. He seems to just want to do his own thing now
Thanks for the response!
☆~Klunk not giving a single shit about Nefarious is so in character for him after all the shit he had to deal with in the past. I recall the only time Nefarious comes up in SAC is in Klunk's boss fight where it's revealed he built a mech suit of him. And even then he mentions how it's therapeutic to order him around for a change.
Nefarious deserves a 'Worst Dad' mug legit.~☆
What kind of abuse did Klunk have to go through with Nefarious? I have a lot of thoughts on it myself. There’s so much about Klunk I find interesting—I imagine his creator was displeased with him when he launched the escape pod that saved Ratchet’s life, instead of staying and dying alongside him and Qwark. If Klunk didn’t have his own agenda before that point, I think that’s when he must have started forming it. He realizes he has his own will to live, even if it means Nefarious’s cause has to suffer.
In a way, Klunk can be held responsible for Nefarious’s defeat in rac3, since he prevented Ratchet’s death at that moment. He tried to make up for it by killing Ratchet during the Klunk boss battle, but Ratchet kicked his ass.
Thanks for showing your headcanons about Klunk! I’ll read more if you post more.
☆~Klunk's relationship with Nefarious was definitely an unhealthy one considering his creation was solely to play a role/pretend to be someone else. His entire identity was already planned out, with what Nefarious wanted him to be dictated and controlled on a daily basis. Klunk didn't have much of a chance to be himself, if he acted in a way Nefarious didn't like it was corrected harshly---there was for sure a lot of verbal abuse and manipulation since the beginning. He was put in a situation where he had to adapt to survive pretty much.
Fear for his life and most likely something akin to Stockholm syndrome was what prevented him from running away, he learnt to accept that this is what his life was---his purpose was to be what Nefarious wanted him to be---life with Nefarious was what 'normal' was for him. Nefarious drilled his own ideals into Klunk's head from day one and you know what they say about being molded by one's surroundings.
Regarding what you said about that scene in UYA, I like to think Klunk was definitely scared for his life, even questioning if Nefarious actually cared if he lived or died.
Nefarious was probably fucking livid when Klunk decided to allow Ratchet to escape. Klunk losing to Ratchet was the last straw, Nefarious would have had zero use for him if he showed up again. Luckily after nearly dying in the fight against Ratchet, crawling back to Nefarious was the last thing on his mind, he didn't want anything to do with him or the universe anymore---having to choose between being a hero or a villain, that wasn't a life he wanted. He was done.
In the end Klunk decided being alone was what he deserved, as depressing as that is.~☆
P.S: Klunk is only alive because of Orvus btw, he sent the zoni to repair him after the battle with Ratchet. Unfortunately Klunk has no idea, in his eyes he just miraculously woke up alive and unscathed (oh and traumatized we can't forget that).
☆To reflect the canon games a bit more I have revised Klunk's origins quite a bit. And of course in turn I ended up making things darker and more traumatic cuz why not.
Nefarious is/was an obsessed fanboy---to the point of believing the fictional agent Clank character was real---and this is what led to Klunk's creation. Using the factory where Clank's birth took place Nefarious managed to extract a data blueprint left behind from his creation (this is what happens when you don't safeguard your blargian factory mother from villainous fanboys, kids).
In short Nefarious tried to reproduce a copy of Clank. Why? For weird obsessed fan reasons of course lmao.
Klunk wasn't born in a day, he was instead the result of many trial and error, no matter what Nefarious did the robot always came out wrong and devoid of any sort of life or sentience. The reason behind this being Clank's zoni origins, he was designed by Orvus and given a zoni soul.
Without a zoni soul the vessel was incomplete. Nefarious' efforts to recreate an exact replica would always fail. That wouldn't stop him from experimenting on what he had in an effort to hopefully succeed though.
||Note: All those dismembered Klunk heads in the stage where you battle Nefarious contributed to this, made me think about just what the fuck kind of shit he was doing. Smol robot abuse is real.||
And that's where Orvus comes in. Here's the thing, he was aware of what was going on, dude was horrified as one would be seeing copies of their son being created and used in messed up experiments, sure they might not have been sentient but it's still the stuff of nightmares for any parent (even for physically absent ones like him :P). So he decides to get involved in a way he hopes will result in some good. He allows Klunk's creation, produces another zoni soul, he lets Nefarious' plan succeed. And just like that Nefarious has a shiny new toy he can be proud of---as well as easily brainwash and influence to be close to his ideal version of agent Clank as possible.
Orvus really should have thought this through better lel.☆
☆note to self: eventually update all the old and irrelevant headcanon and verse pages, cuz man, my view on things have def changed in some areas---like Klunk's origins for example☆
Why does the ask button say “it better not be a waste of my time?” Is that supposed to be in character of have you had problems with harassment on this blog?
☆~It's meant to be an in character thing from what I remember. Truthfully it has been years since I have properly roleplayed or really interacted with anyone on this blog/on tumblr in general. I have kept the blog for archival reasons and also if I suddenly decide to do something with it again someday.
With how other social media sites have been nowadays I have been thinking about giving tumblr a try again though. Atm I mainly just lurk the tags out of habit.
I personally don't see myself returning to roleplay with people personally, however I might try and post art or in character bits of writing here and there again. Guess it depends what my motivation and state of mind is like this year. ~☆
Inbox is broken?
If y’all are sending me things they aren’t getting through. Tumblr keeps telling me I have 3 messages in my inbox (with one new one today) and I can’t access them. Idk if this is due to a bug, or if the person(s) sending them are blocked.
My apologies if you’re attempting to communicate with me, tumblr can be complete ass sometimes.
<Update>
Hey there, long time no see! I know it’s been what? A few years since I have really done anything? Yeah uh, sorry about that y’all. My urge to write or pretty much do anything has really been a struggle and I’m currently working on my mental health issues and whatnot to maybe help out my brain.
Despite my absence I have been attempting to come back, I even plan on updating and perhaps changing the blog url to better show that this blog isn’t just for Klunk anymore, Clank is also a part of it too; I even plan on adding another character from Rift Apart that I really love too (Hint: She’s smol and yellow). That’s a total of 3 smol robotic cuties on here to have fun with.
So yeah, when I do come back this blog will hopefully go through a huge change. In the meantime just know that I’m doing fine and focusing on my health, no need to worry or anything. I’ll be back one of these days.
Clank sketch sheet, tryin to practice drawing him! :)
it's spooky season :^)
“As for you Ratchet, I’ll need you in superlatory shape. While in transit to the Bogon galaxy, you will undergo heavy training and conditioning including: martial arts, heavy weaponry, survival skills, stealth, macramé, ballroom dance, and origami”.
