## features (general)

ruben is a Fat, chubby synth. he prefers himself that way.

compared to other common synths, his head mostly consists of the visor on the front of his mouth, with the sort of "jagged mouth" style coming from the visor visor. around the front where the pointy "teeth" parts are emits a sleek glow. that part of the visor can also be manipulated to however he feels, to change shape or pointiness of the "teeth". his nostrils are displayed on the visor on the very front, which are accurately placed to where he can smell. don't ask how. he just can.

the antennas on his head are attatched to little disc-like objects attached to his head can display any visuals he wants. they also serve the purpose of being small little speakers, and they allow the antennas to actually move rather than being in a static position.

next to his neck is a small plate that can be opened to reveal a charging hub containing 4 usb type-c ports, to allow people to charge their devices, possibly while laying on his belly.

he has a full set of artificial teeth! he doesn't show them often though.

he has a plate on his back that can be removed to reveal a plug for charging.

the chest and belly area are made up of goo that integrates seamlessly with the rest of the frame of his body along with the nanites.

the goo itself can serve as his digestive system as a whole. unlike other synths, he is capible of eating regular foods perfectly fine, although at the cost of not being able to digest any heavy objects like metals. his goo belly and chest just takes up the front half of his body.

he has full body temperature control, most noticably on his softer goo, so he tends to get used like a bed.

the goo also serves as a large energy storage as well, so it still "functions" similarly to a large battery even though it can't exactly function like one.

it also can function as storage. he can either eat or "push" things or objects into himself to store it and let it float around inside of him.

his goo is reactive with his mood and can change colors along with the accents on his system and emits different scents as well. it's also edible! with different flavors depending on the mood.

- neutral/happy is a green-ish color, and tastes similar to a mint flavor.
- angry/ticked off is red, and tastes similar to a cooked cayenne pepper, although not as spicy. he can also get somewhat warm in this mood.
- sad/disappointed is a blue-ish grey color, having an "undescribable" flavor by others, but causes those to taste it feeling somewhat gloomy themselves.
- excited/shocked/embarassed is yellow, it tastes like pineapple and getting close to the goo can feel similar to getting up close to a CRT television.
- love is a purple-ish color, and tastes similarly to a mixed berry smoothie. he warms up around others in this mood as well.
  - a more "extreme" lovey mood results in a more hot pink-ish like color, tasting more like a strawberry smoothie and incrdibly warm.
- empty/nothingness results in entirely white shades of accents, and tastes like nothing. this mood is extreme however, and is rarely ever seen.

he can change his "neutral" flavor and accent color on demand using scent boxes which integrate with that part of his system, alternatively change his accent colors however he wants (although not the scent or taste; that still depends on scent boxes)

if he expereinces a mix of different emotions, the reaction of each emotion can mix as a gradient passing from the top of his body to the bottom.

the goo has an activated thin outside layer that prevents itself from dripping or allowing things to simply get sucked into it. it gets lost if he is under intense feelings/emotions or simply starts losing energy to keep it activated.

the goo itself is known to have many more features, although most are experimental and best to leave disabled. a notable one is to be able to use the goo as expandable, dynamic storage, however this is not stable and is prone to easy data loss. although ruben likes to keep it enabled for other reasons. :)
