Melli is in half of them

i have not learned to draw the submas twins yet lmao o(-(

I love how the more you learn about the octotrio, the more you learn that Floyd is the (most) normal one. Like, Jade is a violent lawful evil mad scientist mastermind with a mushroom special interest and Azul is an emotionally unstable capitalist who wants world domination because he was bullied as a kid. In comparison, Floyd is just a very transparent and honest guy who enjoys a bit of tomfoolery and has undiagnosed ADHD (and possibly autism too).

Also he's just. Genuinely helpful? In his labcoat vignette, he's just like "lmao fucking dumbasses, here, let me help you out" and doesn't even ask for anything in return. In his ceremonial robes vignette, after Kalim's like "yeah no one's going to force you to do something you don't want to do" he's all on board for helping, and even when he abandons his drumming duties (which, it is implied through Jamil saying that "he's more than just a fill in" that he managed to match the rest of the band) in favor of dancing, his reasoning is "you said banquets should be fun, right? Then shake a leg, and let's have some fun!".

Hell, even in his SSR story he makes MULTIPLE unfavorable trades because he has something somebody needs/wants, because he wants to see joy on their faces (and frustration on Riddle's). And then, when Sam tries to make a deal with him that he perceives as being disadvantageous to Sam, he gets confused and is like "are you sure?" and only goes through with it because he doesn't want Azul to be mad at him.

TL;DR: Floyd is the most normal and stable of the octotrio and this fact has stolen my sides
