Dandy 704

Dandy 704 is one of the 12 main Chipspeech characters.

## Plogue description

`Dandy 704 is a 19th century gentleman who decided to escape death by having his brain mummified and transferred to an internal vat. His body is steam powered and entirely mechanical except for his voice box (which is in dire need of a repair). He is a world class explorer, brash, charismatic and loud mouthed. He’s also an incredible romantic womanizer and will offer to marry anyone (despite his lack of a space carriage). Do not believe his fantastic stories. They are not true. The real ones are much crazier (and would incriminate him).`

## Fanon appearance alterations

* Dandy's hair varies from creator to creator. Some fans give him long hair, while others give him short hair or even no hair.
* He is often given either metal or porcelain "skin".

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* He has long, curly indigo hair and violet eyes. His "skin" is silver, and his robotic arm is mostly gunmetal gray and gold.
* His coat is teal, with a blue collar and cuffs. The coat's trim and lacing is black, and his cuffs have two gold stripes on them. Under his coat is a light blue waistcoat, and his trousers are dark blue and plaid. His hat is a deep blue-violet with a long teal ribbon on the right side that matches his coat, with a black ribbon behind it. He wears brown dress shoes with gold buckles. His daisy belt buckle is also gold.
* His neck has two gold studded brackets on it that resemble chokers, and both are usually hidden by the ruffle on his shirt.

### Seb Templar's interpretation

* He also has long, curly indigo hair and violet eyes. His "skin" is a very light blue, and he has fangs and elfin ears.
* His coat is one uniform shade of dark blue, and he wears light blue trousers with boots in the same color as his coat.
* His hat is pastel blue, with a purple ribbon. On the right side of his hat are a white daisy and a bisexual flag pin or painted portion of the ribbon.

## Physiology and abilities

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* Most of his body is made of steel, but there are a lot of gold, copper and brass attachments on him, and his legs have some leather patches on them.

## Backstories

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* Dandy's human name (that is, pre-roboticization) was Daniel Isaac Barnaby Maitland (written as Daniel I.B. Maitland more often). His last initials spell out "IBM".
* Referring to Dandy as a "womanizer" is a bit of a misnomer, as he never sleeps around or cheats, and he approaches relationships rather methodically and carefully. The truth is that in his human life, he had failed to really find a woman he liked enough to settle down with, so he would keep ending his relationships and seemingly have a different lady on his arm every day. The rumors began that "Dandy will only break [the girls'] hearts", so it was assumed that he was a player. People's imaginations ran wild about his bedroom activities, but he never slept with any of them- he just had lots of very short-lived relationships because he would always realize something that made him not want to date her anymore.
	+ This is of course because he prefers men, but wasn't really aware of it and also wasn't able to properly express this during the time he was still a human.
	+ He'd only ever found one woman he was all that happy with and their relationship lasted the longest- that being Daisy, with them having stayed together for about 4 and a half years.
	+ Conversely his shortest relationship ended after just 7 hours. He broke up with this woman so quickly because she had confessed to seeing other men at the same time, and he didn't want to be exclusive with a woman who wouldn't be exclusive with him. He only wants to be exclusive and see one person at a time, so he broke things off with her while they were planning their first date!

## Personality and quirks

* Many fans have decided that Dandy is bad at dancing, partially as a reference to the song "Brain Dead" by Bloopy.
* He's often portrayed as having a sense of humor ranging from crass and lewd to sophisticated and witty, and everything in between.

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* He takes great pride in his personal appearance, especially his hair. His hair care routine is very elaborate, and takes upwards of 3 hours.
	+ This has led to other characters (namely Bert and Pedro) to tease him a bit over it and even pretend to cut or shave his hair. Dandy, of course, doesn't like these jokes.

## Relationships

*For relationships with the other Chips dealing in the Twitter RP, please visit Dandy's page on the regular Chipspeech wiki. If you put relationships with OCs here, please make a Chipsonas Wiki page for them and link to it.*

* Dandy is most commonly shipped with Cidertalk '84, Daisy and Otto.

### Cidertalk '84

#### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* Cidertalk and Dandy are married, and live together at Dandy's house.

### Daisy

#### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* As a human they had been dating, perhaps even engaged. But their relationship didn't end up working out, perhaps due to Daisy no longer being attracted to him in his robotic form, them having different plans for the future or something else entirely.
* He doesn't still have any memories relating to Daisy specifically, but according to the documents he's found trying to get his erased memories back, he knows that he was in a long-term relationship with her at one time, but doesn't remember what she looked like or anything about her, or why they weren't still together in future memories.

## Miscellaneous fanon trivia

### gl1tchygreml1n's interpretation

* Dandy's character item is tea and tea sets. This is because his nickname is "tea kettle", and he resembles the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, both in appearance and mannerisms.
	+ He's known for having lavish tea parties, with as many varieties of tea as you can imagine, and he also bakes scones and other pastries to serve with it.
* Though his memory was erased at some point, Dandy's gotten about half of it back through looking for records and whatever information he could find about his old life.
* Dandy is bi but prefers men to women by such a huge margin he prefers to say he's, in his words, "gay with exceptions".
