Who is this character? Mettaton, or MTT for short. Tell us something about them. Egotistic robot superstar with HOT LEGS. Well, most of the time. Sometimes he's a box and sometimes he's a hottie glambot. AND IN JULY...he was a ghost. But we don't talk about that. Anyway!! The best way to get on his good side is to ask him about himself. ;) Cons of that is he will talk about himself. Also he's SUUUUUPER ENTHUSIASTIC ALL THE TIME!!!!! So expect loud speech and gobs of exclamation points! How long have they been on the Moira? Four months what the heck. What have they been doing? HAHA oh my god. Okay let's try doing bad news before good news, eh?
He's been going through a lot. In July, he had to deal with the whole Caducan invasion, and trying to protect who he cared about. Spoilers: IT DIDN'T WORK, so he went a little bonkers and committed approximately a billion alien murders, at least until the aliens damaged him enough that his soul pretty much imploded within his robot body. :'D And when he came back to life, he was a ghost, so he had to deal with how upsetting that was, because you know. Dysphoria and dissociation and also guilt for killing everyone. There's more, but I don't want to yak anyone's ear off about the first half of the month only. THERE'S MORE.
Second half of the month, his body was repaired enough to possess, which is cool! But what isn't cool is being sent to a weird outpost and immediately captured/sold off to a murdersport slaver, wherein he was forced to murder more people when he was already hung up on what he'd already done. Literally, if he didn't fight, then his owner operated him like an RC car.
Which brings us to Mettaton now, who is just trying to pick up the pieces, fit them together properly (to his taste), and probably pretend none of this happened. So what I said up there about him being egotistic and SUPER ENTHUSIASTIC is actually going to be come and go, because he has to sort himself out. Especially since, by the rules of Undertale, he has gained LOVE (translation: level of violence, which means he murdered enough people to "level up" his murder idk), and it's making him a little apathetic about...living things? And while he isn't questioning his purpose--he's an entertainer, full stop--he is questioning if all he's good for is hurting others.
To round this off, he's dating Papyrus and HOPEFULLY THIS GUY WILL SAVE HIM FROM HIMSELF A LITTLE. But also he was forced to fight Papyrus in murdersport hell, which was not cool.
...What a month!
What do they think of the captains? He's slowly getting more aggravated that they aren't in control of any situation? He's not interested in working for figureheads, but he needs to get home so.
Have they figured out a plan of action? Mettaton is not currently very comfortable. He does his job pretty well, usually, but he's probably not showing up every single day anymore, and if it means he's in trouble, then he'll have pretty strong words for the captains about it, because he's not used to this much stress in his life. For now, he's going to put any of his creative ideas on hold and do the bare minimum while he tries to jump back from murdering, dying, asking a hot skeleton out, and then murdering again + fighting the hot skeleton.
He's not going to be completely taciturn, but he is going to be pretty much avoiding uncomfortable topics until...he can't anymore, and then he just busts out with all this sudden TMI.
Is there something specific your character wants to do? For now, just get back to a good state of mind after all of his drama. But he IS going to eventually come out of his silent spell to compliment J for winning Leg Con + apologize for being late on announcing that.
Got plans for the next month? Short-term, his goals are going to center around hanging with Asriel because he feels bad for this poor child, fussing over his castmates and close CR, and probably just dealing with the new and exciting (and ultimately positive) experience of dating someone. He's got to take things one day at a time to get his groove back. He'll be happy to make new friends too tho, and if he does, he'll overcompensate spectacularly so they don't know he's stressed.
Oh. I might have him admit that he was the little pink ghost floating around for half of July. Anyone want to ask about it and maybe you know. Push that along? ;)
As far as what I want to do with him concerning his shiny new baggage? Have a look down at the next section.
What about plans over all? OKAY July has set a lot of character arc related stuff for Mettaton into motion! Let me see if I can split it up nicely.
First off, he died. This is Mettaton's first time dying EVER (if you don't count resets that he doesn't remember) and you aren't supposed to come back from that. Furthermore, he didn't know he could die since he's always been a...ghost in the machine. huehue no seriously though. As a result of this revelation, and all the negative connotations that it comes with, he's going to be really nervous about dying again. He values his mortality, and even though it's going to be a while before his ghost self repossesses his robot body permanently, he's still going to be apprehensive.
Furthermore, he's not the kind of guy to feel guilty externally, but he just murdered roughly A LOT of people, and he's not okay with it anymore. It's to the point where he's having a bit of an identity conundrum. He knows what he likes to do and it involves entertaining, but now he's stuck on whether he's really just good at killing people, and that he's distracting from that fact. And did he change just by inhabiting this robot body with human eradication directives? WHO IS HE. WHAT IS REAL.
Finally, Mettaton has a really unhealthy coping mechanism for things that don't sit well with him, which is that he literally won't talk about it or even acknowledge its existence. For a decent chunk of August, he is going to pretend that July only consisted of him asking Papyrus out to most people. He's currently kind of talking about stuff (to Asriel for example), but everyone else is going to get an overly happy robot who will not talk about why he is so...not-legitimately-happy. It's going to be awkward. It'll be like seeing someone crying and then when you ask them if they're okay, they put on the fakest smile and shout to the skies that they're TOTES FINE WHAT'RE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
Someone please get this robot a therapist.
Specific CR? - Someone(s) to talk to honestly. Mettaton legit needs a therapist for this past month's load of bullshit, but gl getting him to admit that. He needs people he can open up to and that feel comfortable ICly AND OOCly, because I don't want to dump MTT's drama on the unwilling! Lmk if you are in fact willing to do this. - People to call him out on his shit habits, for real tho. - Someone he can drag into doing a show with him. Bro, he needs distractions like crazy. - Engineers? He's still pretty broken, and he'd feel bad leaving it all to Alphys tbh. - Is anyone on the ship a therapist AND also not Kaworu Nagisa? Talk to Mettaton pls. (note: Kaworu is not a therapist. He's just a butthole. Thought I'd let everyone know!)
And, well. Typically, I include negative CR on my list of wants, but this month I think I'm going to ease off this poor robobo. |D That said, if you have any interesting ideas, I'd love to hear them!
