Sent An Ask Before About Jak And Pandora And Trrrrry Not To Send People More Then One Ask At A Time But

Sent an ask before about Jak and Pandora and trrrrry not to send people more then one ask at a time but not sure if it got ate by tumblr and still super curious so.

How did Pandora come to accept Jak wasn't just some super high tech sapient ai and was human when he didn't have proof or memories?

And how many sapient ai's are running around? Are they rare or common place? I'd guess they'd have rights as people if they're not allowed in the bot fights which look like 'to the death' types of matches.

OK SO YES I DID ANSWER THIS!! HOWEVER i have one addendum with the last bit of your question in mind!!

TECHNICALLY most bot fights are to the death, with complex ai bot fighting though, it's considered similar to to the death, but more often its to the dismemberment. It's extremely commonplace for AI bot fighters to get ripped apart and then reappear with the same ai in a different body or a patched up body, most AI fighters are backed up similarly to how JAK is, though with different intentions in mind :]

It's a testament to how good at bot fighting JAK and Pandora are that JAK's frame has stayed mostly the same across 1-4 bot fights per week, only gaining upgrades and having patch jobs. It's extremely common for losers to leave hacked to bits with no salvageable parts, but luckily JAK hasn't had to swap frames.... yet.

Do Jak and Pandora have an official color pallette? Asking for a friend (who is me, I am curious)

INDEED THEY DO!!

I'd also have to look for it, but i had some alternative colour palettes for jak bc I couldnt decide on his colours at first

I decided red looked too evil, green looked too edgy, and i love the blue decora looking one but alas.... the orange and blue reign supreme.

if anyone made fanart of any of these designs though id shit.

not dead.

but heres somethin i worked on a few weeks ago .

somewhat concerpt designs of the bombat boys

wheerl

worl...

Currently writing some sub Ultra Magnus with Roddy, and your little hypno doodle made me!!! It’s like you took the thoughts and vibes straight from my brain!/pos

Also super glad Pandora’s set up memory safety stuff for Jak but it made me curious. How good are they at bot fights?

AAA THANK YOU!! I really had a great time drawing it, Mags is so fun to draw like that ehehehe

ANYHOW THO!!!

Short answer- They're VERY good. I'm not talking like, mary sue come out unharmed good, but Pandora was a professional bot fighter for a reason, she's an incredible mechanic and JAK's body is modded and armed to the teeth with a comprehensive database of dozens of styles of fighting and wrestling, and two of the most overcharged impact boosters to ever be attached to a lightweight class robot.

With that coding in mind, JAK is programmed and built to be the perfect fighter. His human brain's coding has been known to get in the way sometimes however, as it sometimes underestimates the durability of his new form.

This was most evident in his earliest fights in the new body, he was very visibly a lot more skittish than the other bot fighters in the ring, which got chalked up to some fancy coding from pandora, luckily.

Tangent- A lot of bot fighting rings don't accept bots with any amount of ai, but there are underground rings like the ones pandora and jak frequent that are specifically catered to bots with high functioning but non sentient AI. JAK is not non sentient, obviously, so he kind of has to play at being a machine whenever hes around the ring.

But anyways, JAK is a very good fighter after he becomes more accustomed to his body.

One other thing though, just as a tidbit. i think his human coding and his body coding sometimes clash but one of the few ways they work together is that JAK receives a LOT of endorphins whenever he does well in bot fighting because it's his coded purpose in his body, which registers as self actualization in his human coding. Essentially, fighting feels emotionally like it's what he's supposed to be doing, and for human brains, doing what youre supposed to, doing what feels like your purpose feels VERY good.

Initially, pandora was going to let him try out bot fighting with him in his body(since the fight purses on high ai are VERY sizeable and you know shes chasing that bag) and if he didn't like it she would have just removed his consciousness from his frame to use his frame for her fights, but JAK seemed to enjoy it so much afterwards that she let him keep piloting.

There are some safety codes however. If ever a glitch occurs which severs JAK's consciousness from his body, Pandora keeps a secondary controller on her so she can pilot his body for him in case of emergencies.

So yes! they make a VERY good team. TY FOR ASKING EEHEHEHEH
