About Orbot
Character Background
Orbot is a diminutive robot with a round head composed of a semi-spherical cap with a smaller black semi-sphere under it for a lower face. His lower face can separate to reveal a cover, representing his mouth, and he has two gray-framed and pupil-less eyes. He has also a ball joint for a chest and red gloves for hands. His arms and back consist each of two thin bars that are joined by a ball joint. His lower body is a small semi-sphere with a gray inside and a ball joint connecting it to his back.
Orbot has a red head cap and light blue eyes and mouth, while the rest of him is black and gray with a few red joints. Orbot is a highly intelligent, serious, and level-headed robot. From the start, he has shown an eye for efficiency, taking close notice of Eggman's flaws or awry plans. He is as well rather sassy and shows a sense of spiteful sarcasm, voicing facts and opinions as he sees fit, whether it is offering unsolicited, withering assessments of his master or asking a mourning Sonic if he could become the hedgehog's sidekick. As such, he comes off as straightforward, insensitive, and brash. However, he does not mean anything by it, and behaves mainly as such to give constructive criticism and approach subjects matter-of-factly. Orbot's personality is, in comparison to his supposed prototype, jaded and refined, giving him a wide spectrum of emotions and a polished demeanor, which goes along with his smooth surface. As such, while sassy and sarcastic like his predecessor, he is more legal in his approaches and goes about them in a more diplomatic way. He, therefore, speaks calmly and formally, yet without a filter, and is more honest to a fault than outright rude. Orbot is a devoted follower, although not necessarily out of personal preference. Also, while he takes his job seriously, he tends to slack off when possible and cut corners when working. When slacking off, Orbot has a habit of resting on his side and holding his head up with one arm.
Orbot is one who looks at the bright side of things, especially for the sake of his boss when he is in a foul mood. He is also shown to be lazy.
Orbot possesses a sense of spiteful sarcasm, and likes to rebuke Eggman about his previous failures, having once asked Eggman if he wanted to review "a list of eldritch creatures [he'd] like to resurrect and then lose control over", which is a clear reference to the doctor's past failures in this field.
By his own admission, Orbot appears to suffer from anxiety. As such, he needs to take some time off for reassuring activities, such as arranging cables in alphabetical order. He is also smarter and more perceptive than Cubot, whom he has to explain some things to.
