Hey Anyone Wanna Hear How I'd Improve The Character Of William Afton If That Power Was Given To Me Despite

Hey anyone wanna hear how I'd improve the character of William Afton if that power was given to me despite the obvious foolishness of doing so

I don't know how to pixel art, but I had a vision

(Image description: a four panel comic in pixel art.

Panel one: GLaDOS is hanging from the ceiling, saying: I'll be using a...

Panel two: ..."safe"

Panel three: GLaDOS is looking directly at the reader: neurotoxin

Panel four, depicting an Aperture Scientist: Oh, glad it's safe

End image description)

(If I did badly at that, please tell me how to fix it)

glados: i am flooding the facility with a glados: ....................safe glados: neurotoxin aperture scientist: oh phew, at least it's safe

Why the hell am i getting ads for bourbon and biscuits does tumblr think i'm a southern United States grandmother

I love being a nerd. I'm aware of the etymologies of both zounds and by jove

Neither is actually finished, but both OC polls seem to lean toward yes so I'm gonna talk about Dialtone and the bullshit contrivances I came up with to make a robot literally trans. Not a metaphor, it's as close as i could get without making this less silly or doing more research than sounded fun (i've got gender shenanigans, just not the basic set so my experiences wouldn't apply).

For starters, this world is more technologically advanced because a weirdo in the 19th century i'll talk about another time looted a crashed UFO. By about now they've got robots and better wifi and such. Now obviously capitalism capitalized, so while these robots technically had free will, they were programmed to love their work and their cheap as would work bodies and their inability to leave ever. So the people rallied, had a big movement, and the federal Determinism Prevention Act was passed.

The DPA made it so that instead of all robots have an identical mind automatically shoved in, government employees would manually drag and drop files on a computer. To maximize random chance, all such facilities are required by law to have an open bar and dispensary, making them very popular workplaces. Any one difference can have a cascading effect on the personality web, so this works pretty well.

Dialtone, the actual character we're here for, was such a robot. She got her gender transed by chance and some of the effects of that were increasing rebellion while decreasing responsibility, so she immediately left the workplace as soon as she was out of the crate. Shortly after, she befriended an alley cat and found a scrap merchant.

The latter was important because the factory basic body was a bulky mess with treads, and no speakers. She just had to communicate with words on her screen face (would have been better to have a description at the start at the end i guess). So she bought a proper form for her enjoyment, along with speakers, before proceeding to the tailors. At the tailors she started a lifelong enjoyment of purple tuxedos.

Now we get to the description: A robot of approximately human shape, no typically gendered traits physically, all limbs have the impossible endless extension common in cartoon machines. Her head is a screen of, say, 2:1 aspect ratio if i have my technobabble right? She wears purple tuxedo jackets with pants in a different shade, though the shirt bow-tie and shoes are typically standard.

She has a habit of throwing cups of cocoa at those who anger her.

any questions?

Wait is he called Toby Determined to imply that reality itself considered him such a low priority his name was left to be determined
