Blight

Famine robot for the team is done wahooooo

I am SO late to posting him?? I meant to upload him way earlier but uh here we are. I finished his design on the 17th, but I just,, didn't do anything with him wheeze?? Oops.

Anyways! We love a bitch boy bug robot yes we do haha. I hope he came out locust-y enough? I based his design around desert locusts, specifically Australian Plague Locusts. But I think, mainly thanks to the yellow, he has slight wasp vibes haha. Did not intend that. But oh well! He otherwise came out perfectly. He gives off very pompous vibes, like he just looks like he'd backstab you in an instant. And that's exactly what I needed him to be. I especially love how his legs turned out! I took the idea of very chunky thighs/pants from the look of a locust's hind legs, and they look like almost prince pants haha. Good stuff.

I'll eventually code and stuff, bear with me wheeze,, I don't have a ton of details together, but I have enough to talk about him!

Blight is a part of Wraith's group. He typically handles solo missions moreso than anything. He may technically be a follower, but he likes to think of himself as the group's most important member. He desires to be seen as the best of the best. He wants to be the successful leader, showered with plenty of praise and power.

As a person, Blight is very much an opportunist. He seeks out powerful positions so he can always stay on top. It doesn't matter to him who he has to suck up to, so long as he'll get some sort of good result out of it, he'll do just about anything. He's a smooth talker with a strong desire for attention, and is good at staying on the best sides of those he desires things from. He is no stranger to lying and flattery to get his way. He especially sucks up to the boss of his organization a lot. He knows that he's at the top of the food chain if he sticks on his boss's good side, and he likes it that way. As much as he claims to care about his team, he also doesn't hesitate to make it abundantly clear that he would toss anyone aside if they stopped benefitting him. Alongside this, he is incredibly arrogant and pompous. He thinks of himself as being the best of the best, and he refuses to listen to what anyone else has to say to the contrary. He's talkative and a huge gossip hound, often using information as a means to get his way. He loves talking about juicy drama with anyone who's willing to listen to him. He cares deeply about his reputation, and doesn't take insults lightly. However, there are ways to rile him up. For one, he gets very jealous very easily. If someone has what he wants, he can get a narrow, obsessive mind about how to steal it for himself. He can get very petty, bitchy, and bossy, especially with those who dare to doubt him. Alongside this, if he's losing the upper hand, he's likely to turn to bargaining and making deals to stay on good terms. He very much loses his cool when he's bested.

In combat, Blight mainly relies on a swarm of robotic locusts that he has full control over. He keeps them stored in his abdomen, which can fold open to let them out. The locusts are devastatingly powerful, able to eat through metal in order to handle robotic opponents. As well as this, he has plenty of blades to help him. He can use his wings to fly, and they are tipped with blades so he can slice enemies. His legs are very powerful, allowing him great jumping abilities. His feet are also equipped with blades so he can use brutal kicking attacks. His metal jaw is very similar to the one of his locusts, allowing him the ability to eat through metal as well. His antennae can even be used as extra weapons if need-be.

And some trivia wahoo

• He's relatively tall, though not the tallest member of Wraith's group. He is also very slender, almost looking "swattable," as people like to say.
• His voice has a buzz to it like that of an insect.
• Due to his ability to eat through metal, he has to have a way to digest said metal. As such, he is one of the few robots who's able to truly eat. He is a huge foodie as a result of this, and loves eating just about anything he can get his hands on.
• Even if they're robots, he thinks of his locusts very much like his children. He praises them, treats them very kindly, and gets personally offended if anyone dares to hurt or insult them.
• He absolutely hates getting dirty in any way. He's hyper-obsessive with his hygiene, mainly so he's able to keep up his image and look his absolute best.
• To some level, he knows that he isn't all he's cracked up to be. He realizes that he's the "bronze" member of the group, the third place at best. However, he hates thinking about it too deeply, and instead has become a master of denial about his true standings.
• While he doesn't particularly need it given his position, he actually has a strange obsession with money and wealth. He likes the idea of being wealthy, even if he doesn't know what he would use said funds for.
• He loves being spoiled. Getting affection, praise, and especially gifts is incredible to him.
• When he's trying to suck up to people, he has a very formal, polite way of speaking. However, in truth, he actually has a quite blunt and raunchy way of speaking.
