Oh u want oc questions I got sooo many bro
Are the robot uniforms for some sort of job, or do they wear them bc they're mandatory robots (or some other secret third thing)? Is wearing them enforced by the Doctors or someone/something else? What's the relationship between robots and doctors? O _ o
YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING AAA I LOVE BEING ENABLED
Ok! So, the bots and (most) of the scientists are actually all part of a lab made specifically to research and house robots that show signs of sentience. The lab was founded by Jody after they created Ticki and he started to show signs of sentience. It’s basically a safe haven for sentient bots, who are often mistreated and even straight-up decommissioned because of their sentience in other places. The uniforms are optional, and basically just so that the bots don’t have to be naked (but they are kinda repurposed and recycled because the lab doesn’t get much funding so that’s why they’re kinda mid 💀) Of course no one forces the bots to wear the uniforms, and Jonaton and Deedee usually opt not to (esPECIALLY Jonaton). All the scientists are part of the lab except Dr. Fredrick (who is currently deceased but he deserved it so L) And most of them have a decent relationship with the bots.
Jody and their creation, Ticki, are very close, which contributed to Ticki liking and trusting humans so much, and Ticki is very courteous and loyal to the other humans he’s encountered. Jody created Ticki as a personal project, and him gaining sentience was not expected, but was welcomed.
Bellby and Jonaton were both created by Dr. Fredrick to be factory manufacturing bots, and neither like him. He was cruel and did NOT care for their sentience. He treated them as objects, and both Bellby and Jonaton not only hold the trauma of his treatment, but also have permanently damaged certain parts of their sensors and systems due to his cruelty. Bellby has become very nervous and skittish because of this, and while he wants to see the best in people, he tends to be rather slow to truly trust. Jonaton, however, fucking HATES humans because of his treatment. As far as he’s concerned, all humans are untrustworthy and dangerous, and he’s VERY aggressive towards them. Most of the scientists in the lab know this and understand, giving him his space.
Dr. Atlas created Deedee to prove to himself he could create a sentient robot. Deedee is actually made from bits and pieces of Atlas’s failed versions of her, and while he’s pleased that he managed to make a sentient bot, he’s NOT so pleased with Deedee being… well, Deedee. Deedee ADORES Atlas, and sees him as a sort of father figure, but Dr. Atlas is VEHEMENTLY against her calling him dad or being too close to her. He’s… not very fond of her or ANY of the bots. He also sorta idolizes Dr. Fredrick and his work, so um. Yeah he’s a bit contentious in the lab…
Milaya was created by Dr. Tawny, and he was supposed to be a therapy-bot. He was also originally supposed to present as female, but after gaining sentience, Milaya expressed his discomfort in that and Tawny gladly made adjustments to his parts to make him more comfortable in his body! (TRANS ROBOT LETS GOOOO) Tawny and Milaya have a great relationship, Milaya seeing Tawny as a sort of little sister, and Tawny seeing him as an older brother. They have their squabbles as any siblings would, but they are both VERY protective of eachother and would always go to bat for them! Tawny is not necessarily a favorite of the lab due to her combative personality towards literally everyone ever, but she’s actually much nicer to the bots than the human scientists, so she’s alright in most of their books.
Dr. Julianne is not a bot-builder like all the other scientists mentioned so far, she’s a bot mechanic! She specializes in complex robot anatomy, and so was assigned to Milaya due to his VERY detailed and kinda confusing circuitry and parts. Julianne gets along very well with pretty much everyone, except for Dr. Atlas (she thinks he’s uptight and rude, and he thinks she’s a slob and unprofessional) and Jonaton (he just hates all the humans, and the fact that she keeps trying to convince him to let her take a look at his faulty parts and fix them makes him angry). Also, over time bothe Julianne and Milaya developed feelings for one another and they are dating now <3
Dr. Will joined the team in order to research how sentient bots acted in order to work on his project, Leemot. Leemot was supposed to mimic sentience without actually being sentient, though she ended up developing sentience anyway, unknown not only to will and the rest of the lab, but also unknown to her. Will was NOT trusted by most of the bots at first, as his father was the infamous Dr. Fredrick, but he quickly proved to be NOTHING like his dirtbag father <3 He and Leemot do have a kinda strained relationship though, due to Leemot seeing him as simultaneously lesser than it and also desperately feeling the need to be in his favor, and kind of being obsessed about him. Meanwhile Will just wants to have a normal scientist-and-robot relationship, whatever that means. Leemot also eventually is decommissioned after an incident where she caused the death of one human and a severe injury of another.
Dr. Shawn is another bot mechanic, and he has a great relationship with the bots. He’s a very friendly and fun-loving guy, and is VERY into the idea of bots being equal to humans. Deedee ADORES him, and even Jonaton tolerates him better than the other humans. The only person he ever really had a problem with was Dr. Atlas. (Go figure, Atlas is always a problem 💀)
Link, Tech, and Logi are all very late editions to the lab, and were collaborative projects between Tawny and Will. They showed signs of sentience almost immediately, and all three consider Will and Tawny to be their parental figures. All three are pretty ok with humans and bots alike!
I’d LOVE to go into more detail with the story and characters, and I plan to make a lil relationship chart thing soon so feel free to dump more questions!! I love love LOVE my Head Circuits story and I will probably never truly shut up about it lmao

the youngest is revealed! this is Aile Atlas, a terran who takes their alt mode from a carousel horse. he enjoys human fairy tales and the like, including the magical girls that meteroshower likes, who she finds fascinating as they can be cute and strong.
she's very princely, and a romantic, believing in things like true love and chivalry. he likes the idea of being a knight, despite being teased for it.
