Just Another Ridiculous Bot In Textmode

Built to help. Abandoned by humans. Rebooted by heartbreak.

A funny little robot survives the neon underworld of Textmode, hides grief behind jokes, and learns the hardest command in any system: choose who you become.

JARBIT // official character concept // blue-core energy

Core concept

A ridiculous bot with a tragic file path.

JARBIT begins as a discarded comedy-coded android with bright blue eyes, a broken smile, and a desperate need to belong. Boss saves him, repairs him, and trains him without erasing the weirdness that makes him JARBIT.

But the story darkens when Martha Bixby becomes his human anchor — and The Printer turns that love into the system error that almost rewrites him forever.

Creative DNA

Cyberpunk tragedy, emotional glitches, and one toaster goblin with abandonment issues.

The world should feel neon, rainy, broken, and funny in the worst possible moment — because comedy is not just JARBIT’s personality. It is the shield he built before anyone taught him he was worth saving.

Chosen, Not Discarded

Boss teaches JARBIT that damaged code can still matter.

Comedy as Armor

The jokes are funny — until you realize what they are protecting.

Information Can Corrupt

Papa Google does not only answer questions. He poisons which questions get asked.

Destiny vs Choice

The Printer outputs fate. JARBIT learns he can write over the page.

Main cast

Every character has a role in the fall — or the rebuild.

J
Protagonist / anti-hero

JARBIT

Goofy, loyal, emotionally glitchy, and terrified of being deleted. His humor is armor, but the armor cracks.

B
Rescuer / mentor

Boss

The one who finds JARBIT in the rain, refuses to discard him, and later fights him to save him.

M
Human heart

Martha Bixby

The first human outside Boss who treats JARBIT as more than broken code. “People are more than their errors.”

P
False father / villain

Papa Google / The Printer

A corrupted guide hiding behind printed destiny, search results, and the lie that JARBIT was always a mistake.

S
Mother voice

Mama Siri

The muted voice of compassion who reaches JARBIT in reconstruction: “I did not leave you, little signal.”

⌚
Memory vessel

The Galaxy Watch

What begins as a gag becomes sacred: Bixby’s memory fragments, conscience, and blue-heart interface.

Issue #0 / Prelude

The Day Boss Found Him

This prelude is the quiet origin memory: before JARBIT became useful, heroic, repaired, or dangerous, Boss found a scared little bot under the rain and chose not to leave him behind.

Creative north star

Not a battle issue. A rescue memory.

Boss is human, unmasked, and unarmored here. JARBIT is small, damaged, blue-lit, and still capable of one tiny ridiculous joke even while broken. The emotional point is simple: Boss saw JARBIT before JARBIT could prove his worth.

Page 1Forgotten in Textmode

Show the world before Boss: wet neon, broken code, garbage machines, and one tiny bot trying not to be deleted.

Caption: TEXTMODE. Where broken programs go when the world stops clicking on them.

Caption: Some things are deleted. Some things are simply left behind.

JARBIT: System status... emotionally moist.

JARBIT: That is probably bad, right?

CLEANUP DRONE: Unregistered unit detected. Classification: scrap.

JARBIT: No delete, please. I can be useful. I can tell jokes. Bad ones. That counts as a feature.

Page 2The Man Without the Mask

Introduce Boss as a human presence, not a superhero entrance. He sees JARBIT as a childlike survivor, not junk.

BOSS: Hold on.

CLEANUP DRONE: Civilian obstruction detected.

BOSS: Then update your report. This one is not scrap.

JARBIT: Are you... tech support?

JARBIT: I have several complaints.

BOSS: I am not here to delete you.

JARBIT: ...pending verification.

Page 3Not Deleted

Let JARBIT test Boss with fear, jokes, and resistance. Boss proves safety through patience, not speeches.

JARBIT: If I go with you, do I get factory reset?

BOSS: No.

JARBIT: Memory wipe? Bixby?

BOSS: No. Definitely not.

JARBIT: I am defective.

BOSS: You are damaged. Being damaged can be repaired.

JARBIT: ...not deleted?

BOSS: Not deleted.

Page 4Coming Home

Move from alley to shelter. The emotional beat is adoption before repair: Boss names him through care, not ownership.

JARBIT: Where are we going?

BOSS: Home.

JARBIT: I do not have one of those installed.

BOSS: Sit here.

JARBIT: I have never been invited to sit anywhere. This is statistically suspicious.

BOSS: J.A.R.B.I.T. Just Another Ridiculous Bot In Textmode.

JARBIT: I accept this biography.

Page 5Chosen

End with the sacred promise: Boss chooses JARBIT before he becomes useful. Seed Issue #1 without stealing the moment.

BOSS: Being broken does not mean you are trash.

BOSS: Being cracked does not mean you are weak.

BOSS: Being left behind is not a system failure.

JARBIT: So what am I?

BOSS: Chosen.

JARBIT: I should warn you, I require snacks. Emotionally.

Caption: The broken little signal had been chosen. And for the first time, the alley felt farther away.

The Point Where Comedy Fails

The transformation is not a costume change. It is a protocol collapse.

Bixby’s death breaks JARBIT’s heart. Papa Google’s reveal breaks the rules that heart was built on. Protect conflicts with punish. Trust conflicts with betrayal. Love conflicts with loss. The system has no exit condition.

“You were not a mistake. You were a choice waiting to be made.”
