#now im thinking about one of tyrest's brothers visiting and being beset upon by a bunch of tinies lmao

I love the idea of humanformers Tyrest and tinyformers Getaway and I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT THEM

YAAAAAY I'VE INFECTED YOU WITH MY GETAWAY AND TYREST BRAINROT

WELCOME TO MY HELL, ANON

this ended up being longer than i initially intended so here's a read more lol

I imagine Humanformers!Tyrest is probably a retired judge who just lives alone in the middle of the woods on the stupid amount of property he owns because he's that kinda guy who has old money. His house is way too big for just one person --and he's not lonely, stop accusing of being lonely, Censere --so he builds the tinyformers initially just to help him around the house.

Star Saber was probably the first one, and he's supposed to just keep the house vermin-free, but he takes his job very seriously. He is a KNIGHT protecting his LORD and you cannot convince him otherwise.

The Legislator drones were built after Star Saber (Saber ended up having...a little too much personality, so Tyrest toned the Legislators down) and they help him in his workshop by carrying tools or organizing things. He didn't build them with the intent of them having personalities, but he has discovered them sitting in circles in the basement with paint and markers, drawing on each other. He swears the pictures he took were just because Rung and Censere wanted to see. It's not because he thought it was cute.

Lockdown and his little gaggle of cons were the prototypes before Star Saber, all unfinished and haphazard, but when they accidentally get activated (likely by Star Saber, trying to determine if these INTRUDERS are a THREAT), Tyrest doesn't have the heart to dismantle them. They're mostly harmless anyway; if Saber and the Legislators are indoor tinies, the cons are outdoor tinies. They're all very self-sufficient, but they do wander back to the house for free fuel and to bring Tyrest various knickknacks they found. Like a tiny murder of crows. Or a pack of raccoons.

Getaway was supposed to be the miniature medic. Tyrest built him totally because he wanted to, and not because of the guilt he feels when one of his brothers sees his scars. In an attempt for Getaway to be more perceptive and empathetic --he'd like a medic tiny that could stop him before harm happens --he'd built Getaway's processor "unfinished", so that there was room for him to "imprint" on Tyrest, making Tyrest's wellbeing of more direct import to him.

Instead of a tiny First Aid though, Tyrest just ends up with what is essentially a tiny angsty teenager who refuses to listen to anything he tells him and is constantly trying to inconvenience him. Getaway is the only one of his bots who is directly disobedient, because he's a teenager who doesn't respect authority.

How dare you tell him he can't jump off the desk, Dad, he does what he wants.

Getaway's habit of doing dumb dangerous things and getting hurt is, amusingly (in a sad, depressing kind of way), more of a motivator for Tyrest to build a proper medic than his own self-harming tendencies. Getaway refuses help from Tyrest, you see. He will scream. And despite his tiny size, Getaway can be loud. Tyrest needs a tiny Pharma to repair Getaway for him, because no, he can't just have Getaway walking around injured. And it's not because he cares.

Tyrest starts calling him "Getaway" after a week of the little bastard wriggling out of his grasp and running off to hide somewhere.

Adaptus asks him over their biannual phone call why he doesn't just dismantle Getaway and rebuild him. Tyrest hangs up.

Maybe it is because he cares. A little.
