IT'S TIME FOR MY HAL LORE DUMP!!! If you'd like to see any of what I have to bring to the table with my ideas/art, here you go!

Quick tidbit: I'm not amazing at designing characters, and MUCH less with robots. So some things are more just me making things up, but hey, it's sci-fi. We're stretching the imagination a bit here. Anyway, time for the actual lore dump from here on!

I wanted to add some info to this, mostly the "heavier than he looks" part because, well...

He looks like this.

In universe, it's just cheaper to make him smaller. Well, them, as same goes for Sal. (I don't currently have a full body for her right now, this is more about Hal at the moment, though. Most of all robot form tidbits applies to Sal as well).

Forgot to mention, that is also the reason they only have 4 fingers! [and totally not because drawing full hands is a massive pain in my ass]

It's also one of those things to make him more friendly, if that make sense. Yk, the soothing voice and human-like personality are meant to make him more relatable and friendly and non-threatening. So, he's a bit smaller than the rest of the crew. (Plus I feel like a tall Hal would be a bit spooky, and this AU is mostly going to be fluff)

On a similar note, he's padded with silicone. He gives... somewhat comfortable hugs.

(Metal skeleton is supposed to be dark gray/black, but this is just a sketch)

For the most part, it's to keep important, load bearing wires and his spinal area from wearing both itself, and tearing holes in the clothes. (And temperature regulation as seen in drawing)

I WAS going to add a drawing of him and Dave hugging for emotional support, but it looked a little too close to getting freaky deeky lmao (and I'm an anxious mess) so for now I'm not gonna have it on here. But if wanted I could post separately.

I'm just gonna say, I'm still workshopping a lot of ideas for this, I guess, AU. I will be adding Dave x Hal as a central ship, but for the most part will just be shenanigans with the Discovery crew.

I am open to headcanons n the like!

But for now this is just basic info for what I'm like, planning with my AU, and by extension account until I find something else to fixate on lmao.

Ty for reading <3

[t4tcomputerfucker]

calling shit like chatGPT, c.ai or midjourney "AI" is such an insult to us robotfuckers (as well as robotkin and people who make actual Artificial Intelligence!!). there is no intelligence in that artificial, and they just waste space in your browser and destroy our planet. SIRI had more personality for fucks sake.
