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

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

Yo question 4 Pandora:

does JAK know abt ur pet snake and if so how does he feel abt it?

(Jak is mildly scared of snakes, its an irrational fear, and he'd never ever hurt gudetama, but he's REALLY freaked out)

"It's Me" (5 Pages): Shockwave is too smitten to realize why Blurr might be scared of him.

To see the rest, please check out my pinned post!

*holds a car 🐱 towards you*

Give us more of JAK and Pandora and share one fun fact about each >:) or you'll be attacc by this car 🐱

Please I luv them so much as much I love your art, cute bbys uwu or I will be forced to make this car 🐱 attacc u

-🟦

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.

Don’t fret precious I’m here, Step away from the window Go back to sleep…

got inspired to draw some Shockwave & Blurr bc of the song “Pet” by A Perfect Circle, which i think is a GREAT song for Shockwave

I also recorded the process, which you can watch here:
