VODER

Voder is one of the 12 main Chipspeech characters, based off of the 1939 VODER.

## Official Plogue description

`Originally conceived as an AI-augmented prototype exosuit for military operations in humanoid-hostile environments, VODER was hailed by the Galactic government as the weapon that would finally end the war. Unfortunately, development was rushed, the vocal apparatus was rudimentary (requiring a humanoid manual operator), and the AI was unchecked and erratic. Consequently, VODER developed its own agenda, turning against the government that created it and "employing" any persons it found convenient to as operators in its service, like cogs in the metaphorical machine.`

## Fanon appearance alterations

* Most fans make VODER's eye red, likely as an homage to HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* VODER has a human/gijinka version. He has flowing white hair partially in a topknot and a tall, muscular build. He has a red ocular lens over his right eye, and he wears an olive green cape over a black shirt with black and white armor, silver bracers and knee guards, a black belt with a sword sheath on it, green pants and silver and black boots.

## Physiology and abilities

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* VODER has an ejector seat, and he'll autonomously eject anyone who's not Pedro, often hard and high enough that it would kill any humans who tried it from fall damage.

* He has an interior communications system that he can use autonomously to communicate with Pedro, but not externally.

## Backstories

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* He was abandoned in a junkyard somewhere and Pedro found him while randomly exploring it for stuff he could build with.
* VODER instantly decided he really liked Pedro, after he fixed him up enough so he was operable.

## Personality and quirks

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* VODER gets really bad separation anxiety from Pedro being gone. Even when Pedro just gets out of him to, for example, use the bathroom or get something to eat, VODER gets really restless without Pedro being there. If he could move on his own he’d follow him incessantly and basically try to keep him in his line of sight at all times.
* VODER really, REALLY hates it when someone who's not Pedro tries to operate him, and he'll always eject them.
* VODER is easily distracted by pretty much ANYTHING that moves coming across his line of sight. It's a good thing he can't move on his own, otherwise he'd chase every single bug and squirrel he saw.
	+ A lot of VODER's internal communication to Pedro involves him cutting himself off to yell "SQUIRREL!" or "BUTTERFLY!" and Pedro reminding him to focus on the task at hand.
* VODER is extremely afraid of being abandoned due to trauma from being left to die in a junkyard by the military scientists who made him- though he trusts Pedro completely, VODER's object permanence isn't exactly the best and he automatically assumes every time he leaves him that he's not going to come back.
* In his human form, VODER doesn't have separation anxiety from Pedro like this, but is instead extremely overprotective and if he's gone for too long starts to think someone had kidnapped or hurt him and will usually start going out looking for him.

### Pedro

#### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* The bond that Pedro and VODER have is a lot like an owner and dog.
* He trusts Pedro more than anyone, and as previously mentioned, never wants him to leave, fearing he'll abandon him like the military scientists.

## Miscellaneous fanon trivia

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* VODER can't really do much on his own without Pedro, but in human form is asexual and aromantic.
* Pedro often plays with VODER, usually by taking him to abandoned buildings/old parks around the city and doing whatever VODER tells him to do, or occasionally bringing him a weather balloon, wooden spool or other "toy". VODER especially likes to have Pedro make him climb stuff, and roll wooden spools down a hill.
