Description figured I needed a full-on ref sheet for a future plush so I went all out really. ;v;

Name: Zippy


- Meaning of Name: 
~ He was originally intended to be a hot-headed kitten robot who zipped around with his jetpack really fast till I changed his personality and physiology.


Sex: Male.
Age: Adult. (Over 25 human years. )


Abilities: 

- Once a retired turret-drone, all of his weapons have been removed and replaced with lighter medical equipment instead. He helps Rudi double-jump in game with use of his jetpack, which has a hook on the back to hold Rudi's Wrench in place. Without doing either, he uses his jetpack to fly around and hover since his rusty old body hates to walk much.

Personality: 

Not as 'zippy' as he once was, he's the definition of a grumpy old fat cat that just wants to retire and stop watching his kid. He loves to be lazy and be treated like the big lazy cat he is, constantly complaining about his retirement. However, his loyalty is golden - he swears he will watch over Rudi and protect her until he's nothing but rusty ashes.

Additional info/History:

Zippy was first created in a failed line of robotic felines called Zipsighters, which were feline drones that served as camera decoys to get information. When the line failed, Zippy was the only one left in the trash heaps of the hundreds made. His un-activated body was re-activated and worked on by Rudi's father, a robotics specialist known for his work with omnics. It was with him that Zippy gained self-awareness and emotion, becoming the scientist's assistant and companion. 

When Rudi is born, Zippy swears his life to protect her if anything should happen to her parents, which he does so during the fire where both of her parents perish in the German building her father was visiting for work. Zippy was the one who covered Rudi from the flames and smoke until the hero Reinhardt came to find her and eventually take her in.

After watching Rudi grow up, Zippy becomes a lazy, rusty medbot who may or may not have helped create Kaz - or rather, brought him his human thought and emotions. He is known for keeping Rudi's father's notes in his storage compartment due to Rudi not really knowing how to repair him.

Trivia:

He keeps a picture in his storage compartment alongside Rudi's father's notes about robotics. It's a family photo he says he was proud to be apart of, though he is shown to complain that Rudi wouldn't stop crying for most of the takes.

Even though he's a robot, he envies the fact he's not a real cat. Rudi contradicts him saying if he was, he wouldn't have stayed around long enough to protect her and be able to talk to her.
