These Wonderful Automaton Blokes
Fanbots and such may be submitted at any hour of the day if such pleases you! Just as long as:
1) It includes a picture of said bot.
2) The post contains at least three or four sentences of description.We've gotta get to know your bot, yeah? and
3) Have fun with it!! That is the point of it all isn't it?
(Also, no ridiculously hard bashing please? Constructive criticism is fine but no need to rip someone a new one.)
Hiatus!
I’m not sure for how long, but this blog will be going on hiatus. I apologize and I will get it up and running again as soon as I can!
So I fanbot-ed today.
Her name is Lady and she was designed to entertain soldiers overseas in World War I. She was also used in WWII as she was functional beyond what the inventors first imagined. Her primary functions are singing, dancing, and playing instruments (not all at once) but she has programming for advanced medical techniques if needed, and she has learning software in case she’s needed on the battlefield.
After the Wars she was decommissioned and put away in storage despite the protests of the unit she followed around for most of WWII. The government saw Lady as a threat to security because of her strength and learning ability but also useful as a weapon. And so, she was locked away. Thirty years later she was bought and reactivated by the son of one of the men she served with and stripped of her military programming. The family kept her until they began to need money and sought out the Walter’s whom were known for their good care of automatons. They quickly sold her, and she began life at the Manor.
The hat she wears is from one of the soldiers she was sweet on in World War I. He gave it to her after she saved him in one of the trenches. Lady tries to wear clothes from 1914-1945 and will attempt to put military insignia on anything she owns. She escaped major physical injury from both wars but still sometimes imagines she is talking with the men in her unit as a way to mentally cope with what she had seen. She talks with James Witlash, who gave her the hat, most often.
Lady is closest to The Spine because of their similar calm attitude, and tends to mother Rabbit and Hatchworth even though she’s younger than they are. Even though Lady was engineered to perform she does not enjoy going outside the manor very often because the world has changed so drastically from when she last took part in it.
And that’s all I have at the moment.

ok my test shots for my nautical fanbot (im torn between Delmar and Lamer ….) but yeah im sorta broke so silver eyeshadow and black eyeliner for the win xD doing a photoshoot w this outfit tomorrow w a friend.
So basically this fanbot was built as a navigational bot back in the early 1900’s, and was pretty good at it too, til more advance, and cheaper, navigational systems were made. So she was retired and eventually wound up in the junk yard after a few parts stopped working, like her main guidance system (aka she couldnt tell you for the life of her which was was now north!). She was later rescued by a woman who ran a pirate themed tour down in the south and was given a pirate costume and told “Entertain the guests! Don’t care if you can tell em which way is north, as long as you can guide them to the buffet tables and tell them pirate stories!” So now she’s a pirate! :D oh and she is made up of three metals: aluminum, tin, and steel.*im still workin on her backstory, gomen….)

Steven was one of SuNu Company’s best engineer. He was constantly putting in extra hour, and making advances. One of Steven’s closest friends, June, had recently had a baby, Concetta. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth. The father had passed away of a few month prior, of unknown causes. Steven, as the godfather, took in the child. Steven was single at the time, and was very absorbed in his work. He had little time for raising a child, so he hired a nanny to look after little Concetta. However, Steven knew June had a strong belief in having a parent home with the children rather than a sitter. Steven wished he could work and be home with the child. Then it hit him, if he created a robot with his voice to care for her he would be with her in someway. So in 1951, after the Concetta’s first birthday Steven went to work on nanybot. He used mainly scrap metal and spare parts that the company was throwing out. During this process, the bot began to look like a bunch of patches of different metal and he was clothed in old patched clothing, and was renamed patches. After the initial bot was built Steven, with the aid of one of his programer friends, programed the bot to think, a breakthrough made long before them. They also programmed it to respond to children, and sing to calm them, and of course they gave him a very similar voice to Steven’s. They finally finished all this in 1960. However, there was a series of problems discovered in testing that deemed the bot “unsafe”. Steven spent the next eight years working out the kinks, but by the time he finished, in 1968, Concetta was graduating and in no need of a nanny. So, he locked patches away in a SuNu Co. warehouse, presumably never to be seen again. Yet, 22 years latter he was found by a SuNu Co. employe, who began to freak out. The employe was calmed almost immediately by the bot’s singing. After that patches was assigned to work as a singer and entertainer for the company. Now he get to see the world, singing and making children happy.

Just a bit on my fanbot’s background-
Before Teacup became ‘Teacup’ she was a bit different. Meant for serving and entertainment she could not speak, but even without words her master noticed her budding personality. After a certain event she came to obtain the face we all know and love.

New fanbot idea
Keep Digit as a name.
Newer model either modern or from the future. so young model but not programmed to be young, she’s 7 but is more like late teens early 20’s but no older than 22 if that old.
Makeup will be this basic design but more silvery white. The spine silver but more white than gray silver.
With adjustments.
She’s bald and wears different wigs to suit her fancy..
Basically lives like a normal girl. She was made to

This is my first attempt at drawing my fanbot, Outlet.
(it’s crappy because a-I can’t draw (even though I got an A in art, hmph), b-I didn’t spend very long on it, and c-I haven’t uploaded photoshop to my laptop yet so I used FireAlpaca which I am not used to)
(also, yes, I did take some bits from Rabbit because I have NO IMAGINATION)
enjoy
Edit-I just realised I didn’t fix the hair so it didn’t overlap the hat and stuff. Whoops. Oh well. It’s crappy any way.
