I can't believe I have to ask this with my own mouth and type this with my own two hands but.... will you ever drop the rita+dio heights 👀?!?!? Honestly I'm jk because they have that mechafiction thing going on so it's nice to leave it up to imagination but I'm just tickled pink the way you refer to him as tiny or 'comparatively' small. Rather than an actual height, is Dio small compared to the average person or just his super cool and adoring, amazing and loving tall gf Rita? From the mash up drawings I've seen, Dio is always the smallest person on the page :3 I love a confident little man in charge so I adore Dio and Rita and their dynamic <3 The caption about him being in distress because his gf was out of shot in distress had me cracking up lolol
Darlingest anon I cackled SO hard when I got this ask; thank you for being interested in my motorcycle kids!! And you are in luck: Even though I usually don’t get too fussed about how tall characters are, this is the one project I have where I did work out out everybody's heights. If you don't want to know exact answers, I'll just say that Dio is, in fact, Tiny specifically when compared to Rita. He's of pretty average height! Even a little taller than average! She's just QUITE tall.
And if you do want the exact measurements, Dio is 5'5 (and a half)! Rita is 6’3 in her bio body and 6’4 in her mechanical proxy body so next to her he simply looks like a bean rather than a beanpole. AND the rest of the main cast actually ALSO skews quite tall so he just… appears short most of the time. He doesn’t mind! It's rad! His girlfriend is tall and amazing and can lift him up with one arm and he is THRILLED about it.
Rita and Dio are in their late teens in the main part of the story, so it’s possible they both could still grow slightly? They’ve pretty much reached their full adult heights, though; it would be a very minor difference.
#and Rita's giant robot is usually about thirty feet tall but can vary in height :p#anyway!#Dio begins HRT shortly before the main story but while it might have a very slight effect on his height it's unlikely to change it by much#so! He’ll stay a 5-foot-6 king!!!#he’s happy with his height although he tends to overestimate it when he’s#say#squaring up against somebody or something#sometimes it works though! Like when cats scare off bears!#Rita loves her height in her mechanical proxy but is more self-conscious of it in her bio body#and unlike the proxy body#which is skinned in holograms#she has to find clothes that fit her#which is part of why Rita is such a fashion plate in my drawings!#she makes a lot of her own clothes!#looking at my height chart now I realize a funny but unintended coincidence#is that a lot of the adult characters are fairly average in height#and the teens all skew tall#so we’ve got all these small-looking adults next to these TOWERING TEENS lol#askbox#MOTORCYCLEMAFIAMECHS!!
