City in the Sky and Other Almost Lost Ideas

The Robot Gang story so far

The Robot Gang story so far

Apr 11, 2020

Okay so this is VERY messy because it's just notes that I have about them so far (also if you're from the wall and are annoyed at me I'm sorry)

                               *The beginning/ background*

-There is a human war that the robots are wrapped into

          ^Tom is a war robot who had to fight in the war

          ^Vee and Bee were like household robots? Vee was like a maid who would teach kids and Bee was like an Alexa basically

          ^Annie was like a small drone to get things for people, like to grab pencils or do small tasks

          ^Stew was supposed to fix robots that got hurt in battle

-There are 5 generations of the robots, they get more complex as the time goes on.

         ^Tom is first gen, which is why he is older and less complex. His emotions are also less "developed" as a result.

         ^Annie is 4th generation, I think not only because she is smaller and has a more childlike personality, but because as the war goes on there was more diversity in the robots, not just fighting ones.

           By that logic, I think you can tell why the rest are the generation they are (Stew is 2nd, Bee and Vee are the tie between 3 and 4)

-The robots are kinda like out on their own in the wilderness, hiding from the humans who would take them away and bring them back to war and destruction. I think they'd have a ship of some kind that they live in

-They left their roles because…

        ^Tom got lost in the nature while in the middle of a battle and while he was lost he grew to resent war and all the humans

        ^The house where Vee worked blew up from the fighting, killing the kids they taught. They could never forgive the humans

        ^Stew saw all the destruction and damage the robots accumulated and couldn't take it anymore

       ^Bee worked with Vee and so they left together, though Bee wasn't there to see it

       ^Annie got tossed out by her owner and Tom took her in, to the chagrin of Stew

                             

                                  *Dynamics between characters*

-Annie and stew are frenemies, think C3PO and R2D2 but if R2D2 was constantly mad and if C3PO had the personality of a petulant child

-Tom likes annie like if she was his pet? That's a bad way to put it but basically he wants to take care of (not in a creepy way though, of course).

-Vee and Bee have a sibling dynamic, they are similar and are close but also have conflicting personalities. They get along very well with each other in general.

Here's their dynamics in more detail:

-Vee has few contentions with the others, but is particularly close to Bee. (She's a little bit closer to Tom than Annie and Stew, but not by an overwhelming margin).

-Bee has a hard time with Stew and Annie (Bee and Stew's relationship is like Spock and Bones', they're not enemies and care about each other but they still a hard time because they have different ways of thinking and contrasting personalities), but he gets along very well with Vee and Tom.

-Tom doesn't like Stew because he doesn't like Annie, but Tom likes Bee and Annie. 

-Stew doesn't like Annie, likes Bee, thinks of Vee as an annoying parent but doesn't mind, and generally doesn't mind Tom.

-Annie likes to irritate Stew and thinks of him as a friend. She likes Tom and respects Vee. She also likes Bee but doesn't respect him.

                                    

                                          *The Work in Progress notes*


Characters to still make more dynamic in design:

           Tom- will make arms more flexible and add a neck

           Annie- look at robot references, maybe give her a bit more of a "body"

           Stew- honestly I don't know what to do about his design

           I still like Vee and Bee's designs in general. I will elaborate more on Bee's screen thing- How does it help him? How was it used before? How does it work?


Characters to still make more dynamic in personality:

          Bee needs more motivation than just "I joined because of Vee"

          Stew needs more personality- Why is he angry all the time? What's his purpose in life? He was angry at the destruction, but what made him join the robot gang?

         Tom- I honestly like where he's at as a sensitive character, but I think I want to also give him a cold and emotionless side when he fights, which is why he tries to avoid war and fighting as much as possible.

         Annie- She's kinda like stew, she needs more motivation and personality. There's lots of room for character growth though, I'll build on that.

         Vee- I kinda like hers too, as a reminder she is generally warm and peace driven, but has periods of deep depression and anxiety due to how traumatic it was when the children were killed by the bomb

I really don't know what I'm doing, these are pretty much a bunch of loose ideas I don't know what to do with. Note: I'm going to make them into mini stories but once I'm done with one I'll move to the next :)
