oh no a car!! ok here's two random fun facts

PANDORA:

Pandora used to fight in larger bot weight classes with her fighters, and also used to keep 'trophies' from past matches whenever she won them!! the heads of some of her victims sit on a shelf facing her bed, which is both super rad, and very freaky for JAK specifically.

JAK:

JAK's favourite tv show is NEO British Bake Off! The format of the great british bake off has remained mostly the same, with the exception of new and crazy ingredients being used from different alien cultures. JAK gets WAAAY too invested in this show, and frequently annoys Pandora with his enthusiasm about his favourite contestants.

Oh my goodness now I can't stop thinking about the fact that there's a possibility of someone finding out that Jak is sentient. Either him celebrating eerily humanely after he wins a particularly hard fight, or Pandora trying to comfort him after a loss(how often do you see bots getting comforted after a battle, eh?), OR the people(person?) who made Pandora quit legal bot fights (or someone else entirely, bitter that they lost to ur OCs in the underground battle) trying to undermine her, collecting footage and overanalysing it until they figure out that something isn't right...

- 💐 (thinking thoughts.........)

see the fun thing about this ask is that it has some layers to it!

first of all- JAK, while still having some tells that he's not fully AI, at a certain point is pretty comfortably able to fly just under the radar of most people, because while bots being too human is absolutely grounds to get them expunged from their rings, bots having personalities is NOT a crime. Often times bot fighters will code in some rudimentary personality codes to make their bots more likeable, encourage people to bet on them, etc etc. Because of this, JAK is actually pretty popular in his ring because his personality seems so pronounced in comparison to others.

A lot of spectators in the underground rings tend not to look too deep into stuff, the nature of these being illegal prize fights often attracts people of all stripes, though the most common are either those who appreciate the sport, or just garden variety robogore sadists who like seeing bots get obliterated for fun.

That's not to say there haven't been close calls though...

in fact.... this is a good chance to mention that TECHNICALLY..... JAK's cover has, in a way, already been blown.

One of his competitors already thinks there's something up with him.

(btw this oc belongs to my beautiful partner @creehd I will talk more about him if anyone hasss quessstionnsss <3 and i also probably will talk about him anyways even if u dont)

Idk where I was going with this lol ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ but have some blitzbee.

You ever had an impulsive thought like standing somewhere high and think “Jump off” and have to scold yourself for it?

Yeah that’s blitzwing but 10x more intense lol.

I love Jak very much, he's baby. He needs a hug and a warm blanky.

Pandora needs... New toys. =W= (manic gremlin cackle)!!!

there is nowhere in the world more full of warm blankies than pandora's apartment...

and she's got plenty of toys as well!!! (unless,..,. you mean in the other way. in which case. she's GOT PLENTY.... )

Wow, it would be awkward if you saw the guy you crushed, right? 🤔

WAIT NO I NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS NEW CHARACTER.

LORE DROP PLEASE 🙏

AAA THANK U COMPY

OKAY!! so, First of all, this character does not belong to me, I'm sharing him with my lovely partner @creehd, this whole post is cosigned by him <3

NOW! Meet EXO!

EXO (short for Enhanced Xenomechanical Operative) was a prototype AI driven mass produced assassin bot who was scrapped as a design for having too unruly an AI. He is the only existing copy of his line, and as a result of being scrapped, he hates all organic life forms.

EXO is an absolute cunt. I don't say this with any amount of joking in the slightest, EXO is a self centered prick who thinks he's the most perfect being to have ever have been crafted, and that all organics are flawed and blind for not recognizing that, and that it is now his goal to prove that he is the most exceptional AI to ever exist.

How is he going to prove that? why by infiltrating the ranks of lesser AI and crushing every opponent in his path of course! YES EXO is also breaking the rules of the ai fighting rings, though he plays at being non sentient much better than JAK, mostly because his personality is mostly hate and he's a complete stick in the mud.

EXO understands the gravity of being caught as a sentient ai in these rings, and doesnt care, because all rules dictated by organics are merely roadblocks in the way of higher beings(him), though he does follow them otherwise to keep his cover from being blown.

THAT IS- he doesn't care until he clocks JAK (incorrectly) as being an AI of a similar complexity to him, and then gets COMPLETELY FUCKING FURIOUS because this is HIS stomping ground for crushing the weak and not only is JAK stepping on his turf, he's stepping on his turf and is becoming more popular than him. (not that popularity matters at all no way EXO doesn't crave validation at all nuh uh)

and so within lITERAL HOURS of knowing JAK and 'cracking his secret' EXO grows a hate boner for JAK so massive that it diverts his plan of 'being the best' to a plan of being 'better than JAK in every conceivable aspect to show how much BETTER I am than him.'

AND THUS begins the most one sided rivalry to ever exist in the entire history of the world: EXO wants JAK's head on a pike, JAK thinks EXO is a freak and needs to calm the fuck down, antics ensue because EXO can't get JAK expunged from the league without blowing his own cover,,, its all very goofy despite the bloodsport.

and yes, before anyone asks, cree has given permission, AND encouragement for EXO to be lusted after
