Also, curious, Is this character going for more the role of "guy-who-cleans-up-the-messes-of-others-but-still-loves-them-in-a-way-even-while-being-snide-and-pessimistic" (Christ that's a long string of hyphens) or is he going to be more like Marvin from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books?
Yeah! Sort of a mix of both, actually. The best way to describe him is that he's the Kiff to Rocketfeller's Zap Brannigan. He's eternally frustrated by his boss's impetuousness and lack of judgement, but he sticks with him anyway.
I love his style. Even as a robot, and without the try, I think he is clearly a butler.
I'm reminded a little of the robots from the Oz books.
Although I think that's just because he's quirky, not because they actually look alike.
Ah, yeah! I get exactly what you mean. I try to reference Oz quite a bit in the story. The whole thing is sort of an amalgamation/homage to American folklore, literature and culture. Some of the other characters are literally based on Oz--there's a big robot with a big heart, a scarecrow robot, and a trucker/cowboy that's lion-themed.
