Gave* Robert a face! Oops lol

The backstory: When he was a kid-teen, he’d always wanted to be on TV. He loves Jukebox’s (My nephew’s OC) Talk Show, "The Talk Box", it’s one of his biggest inspirations and why he looks up to Jukebox.

(His "True face" also shows up when he’s experiencing other emotions, etc, but with clips/images in between sometimes. It’s JUST his true face when he’s feeling content, without the clips/images in between.)

So, instead of his "content" face being just static, it’s now this face (AKA his "true face", with the static that can be seen "behind" it. It still has the quiet/calm hum/buzz when he’s content!

Oh, he's also very emotional. Heartwarming/sad stories can make him cry very easily.

Asleep, or knocked out: Off (black screen).

All effects can combine in different ways, depending on how he’s feeling. (Minus if he’s asleep/knocked out, then all will be seen is the black screen).

Not speaking/not experiencing any strong enough emotions: TV static. (Without the content hum/buzz).

Very sad/upset: Some glitching if he tries to speak, and bright blue light.

Deep thought/zoning out: Color bars.

Panicked/scared/etc: The chopped together clips become faster, and overtake his "true voice" more. (Worsens depending on the strength of the emotions).

(His face when content is calm static, which gives off a soft and quiet hum/buzz).

Embarrassed/flustered/etc: Glitching visuals and sounds/voice. (Worsens depending on the strength of the emotions).

When he speaks, it’s chopped together clips from (in universe) shows, movies, music, etc. However, he does have a voice of his own that shines through the most between/through said clips.

(Some of the scripts for their public rival appearances are written by @messedupdogg.bsky.social’s OC, Nova! Also not canon in Jukebox’s story, just in this AU.)

He’s usually on the "losing" side of the fake rivalry due to this. ( He’s not canon in Jukebox’s story, he only exists in an Alternate universe! Jukebox belongs to @constructionsightf.bsky.social ) He looks up to Jukebox.

Robert is a news anchor for a company he owns called "ON AIR". He’s fake rivals with Jukebox in public, and his friend in private. He’s clumsy, and embarrassed easily (often the one embarrassing himself, he tries not to let it get him down, nervously laughing it off, etc.)

I love this🥹
