random notes on my RMs coz i can’t stop thinking about them. incredibly long and disjointed, so it’s under a cut. more is guaranteed to be added to this at some point

shotman has a brooklyn accent and uses 1940s slang. first time he sees a woman he calls her dame

he’s also really good at making up stories both to make casual smalltalk as well as to entertain people, mostly bar patrons and bottleman (because shotman is a good big brother and bottle just thinks he’s The Coolest). the one he defaults to the most is about his bitch of an ex-wife who Does Not Exist

shotman’s specialty is of course alcoholic drinks, but he also makes pretty killer non-alcoholic drinks, especially rootbeer floats/coke floats/whatever floats your float. smart move on his part, since it means he has more opportunity to get more money out of more people

shotman is also Absolutely a womanizer. bar patrons keep asking him out and he has to turn them down because no way is he bringing someone back to his place when he has seven brothers who are all absolutely batshit

trawlerman inexplicably has The Most canadian accent

trawlerman also has an extreme gacha game addiction, which is 70% of the reason why these guys are so fucking broke because every time he has money he just spends it on anime girl jpegs

since the group’s creator is MIA, they’re struggling to get by financially, since robots usually don’t get paid a living wage. the majority of them (those with the time/energy/ability) pulled an Hourly Pay Squad: Part Timers and basically begged their bosses at each of their individual places of work to pay them money coz their creator’s in a bit of a financial pickle

none of them actually know who their creator is. their only clue is the G in their serial numbers, so they refer to him as Doctor Guy

infernoman, being the eldest and the first to be brought online, is the only one who has actually Met their creator, but it was extremely brief--just under a minute, with doctor guy giving him the rundown on “your name is infernoman, here’s where you gotta go to work, these are all your brothers and where They gotta go to work, please bring them online for me coz i really gotta run now” before bailing. never saw the guy again, never actually learned his name, and every time he tells one of his brothers that story, it’s always slightly different

the reason infernoman holds a grudge against bloodman is because infernoman wanted to be the group’s leader, but everyone outvoted him because they all wanted bloodman instead, because infernoman is An Ass Hole?

bloodman is an extreme workaholic, not helped by the fact they’re all broke as shit and even With wages don’t really get paid all that much. some of them take on an extra part-time job or two, but bloodman takes on Six Part Time Jobs in addition to his main job as a phlebotomist. he works at four different 7-elevens

it’s usually shotman that puts the most effort into trying to get bloodman to take just One day off, but sometimes some of the others chime in, too--especially infernoman if there’s a reason he and shotman want bloodman out of the house.

the one time shotman and inferno are actually successful in convincing bloodman to take a break and go away for the weekend, they immediately throw a house party that ends in a city block size explosion

the next time shotman is somehow successful in convincing bloodman to go away again, bloodman hires a fucking babysitter so he doesn’t have to worry as much about his brothers wreaking havoc while he’s gone. by the time he gets back, the babysitter is tied up and the place is trashed

shotman, hawkman, and trawlerman are drinking buddies; sometimes they try to invite bloodman along, but he’s always either too busy or just not interested in going out. of all eight of them, this trio (sometimes quartet) is the biggest group that gets along the best, and if they tried to add in someone else who wasn’t bloodman it would probably fall apart

hawkman is the standoffish stern loner type who tends to stick to the background and watch whatever chaos is happening with a glare while he refuses to get involved; going out drinking with his two buds is the only way to get him to lighten up even 10%.

hawkman’s relationships with his brothers boil down to “mutual respect” or “can’t fucking stand you”. he’s difficult to impress.

trawlerman Seems like a himbo (and in some respects he kinda is, especially with that competitive streak), but he’s actually surprisingly extremely good at reading the atmosphere; fishing gave him a keen eye. the reason he’s able to stick up for mantidman so much is simply because he’s pretty much the only one that even Notices when mantid is lying about whether or not he’s doing alright

trawler is also the only one both willing and able to restrain infernoman; if trawler isn’t around, you’re kinda fucked

infernoman is kind of a bully!!!! especially to mantidman, who is the easiest target because he’s kind of a pushover. the Lizard Incident is the worst case of this. we don’t talk about the Lizard Incident

mantidman is absolutely RUTHLESS at work, but he’s just miserable in social situations. he has difficulty getting a read on people, so he’s developed a habit of just bluffing and lying on instinct in a way he Thinks they’ll be happy with. these are usually incredibly minor insignificant lies, and he tends to immediately backtrack because he feels guilty about it

since mantidman doesn’t really get along with any of his brothers all that well (with the exception of trawlerman and to a lesser extent bloodman and bottleman), the only time he really gets to de-stress is ironically when he’s at his job

sawman’s only true weakness is his extreme fear of bugs. this of course translates to an extreme fear of mantidman, who hasn’t done anything wrong and doesn’t appreciate being screamed at to get out whenever he enters a room sawman happened to be in first

trawlerman may be a super social friendly party guy, but sawman is that up to eleven. he’s like the type that would bring cocaine to a family reunion. since he is three chainsaws this is a very bad thing for everybody in the vicinity

it takes three fully-grown men to restrain sawman for twelve seconds. he bites people

somehow, sawman and bottleman are BFFs, despite one of them being completely off his shits and the other is just the sweetest motherfucker on the planet. their intended primary functions tend to cause some disagreements with each other, but they make up pretty quickly

bottleman is EXTREMELY good with kids, which probably has something to do with him Basically being a kid himself. he’s just a littleguy

the cap on bottle’s head can be unscrewed, and you can fill him with whatever liquid; it’s usually water, and whatever he’s full of he’ll be able to cry out. he likes being filled with soda and then shaken up so he explodes he thinks it’s fun

bottle wants to go fishing with trawler, but trawler won’t let him because he just keeps scaring off all the fish when he gets too excited.

their jobs:

infernoman: originally a pyrotechnics entertainment bot. the company he was commissioned for went under, so now he’s basically an unemployed freeloader until he finds other work

bloodman: phlebotomist, in addition to his six miscellaneous part-time jobs. he always keeps tons of snacks and juice on him to give to humans in case they feel faint after giving blood, as well as a suspiciously well-stocked first-aid kit, just in case.

shotman: bartender. primarily works most of his hours at some fancy upscale place for rich people, the place he was specifically commissioned for, but also has shifts at a few skeevy dive bars. gets paid the best out of all his brothers, though it’s still peanuts compared to what a human would make

sawman: he’s basically a deforestation bot. he cuts down HUGE swaths of trees for development purposes

hawkman: originally intended for surveillance work. also works as a security guard in some stuffy office building. does not enjoy either of these jobs, but feels it’s necessary.

trawlerman: commercial fisherman. works on a fishing boat alongside human fishermen, who he gets along well with.

mantidman: pest control, specifically at a botanical garden. since it’s so tranquil and quiet, this ironically is pretty much the only time he gets to relax without his brothers giving him an anxiety attack--that is, until human visitors come along and ask questions he doesn’t have the answers to assuming he’s a tour guide.

bottleman: mascot for a recycling plant. he’s even made of recycled plastic! most of his work entails going around to elementary schools to teach kids about the three Rs, but he also volunteers for environmental work such as picking up trash around beaches or highways, which he doesn’t get paid for, but he enjoys the hell out of it.

weapon weaknesses:

infernoman: weak to trawlerman’s weapon, because he’s the least waterproof out of the bunch. trawler also sometimes just straight up sprays him with a pressure washer hose when he’s being a dick

shotman: weak to infernoman’s weapon, because alcohol is flammable. since they’re besties, though, he trusts inferno not to set him on fire at random.

bloodman: weak to shotman’s weapon, because alcohol does bad shit to the blood (bloodman cannot hold his liquor), and it’s also a pun (ie “getting a shot”)

bottleman: weak to bloodman’s weapon, because he’s scared of needles, and also that thing where you poke a hole in the cap or body of a water bottle when you’re a kid to make it spray out when you squeeze it is that universal

trawlerman: weak to bottleman’s weapon, because of plastic in the ocean.

sawman: weak to mantidman’s weapon, because he’s scared of bugs.

hawkman: weak to sawman’s weapon, because of deforestation destroying bird habitats.

mantidman: weak to hawkman’s weapon, because hawks eat mantises. however, some mantises also eat hawks, so hawkman is weak to mantidman’s weapon in return, to a lesser extent.
