Last year after many months of waiting and anticipation, Risk 2 was finally given a character I'd been waiting for and I am sure many others. A dedicated drone character, and while Captain and Engineer exist, it is not exactly the same as they are "unique" survivors. Turrents, and defensive microbots have nuance yes, but having drones that stay with you, always respawning, never lonely... god, it is so beautiful. ANYONE....ANYONE AT ALL KNOWS I LOVE DRONES IN just about any game. If I am given the chance to utilize and befriend them, it excites me. I am like a child again, giddy and jumping for joy when I discover it in a game or other context. Sometimes, it's even the first thing I look for! I absolutely love them unconditionally or like a psychopath. DeEpLy ConCerNInG lOvE. Especially when you the drones aren't always portrayed to be mindless, but instead possess a degree on sentience. There is a soul, so to speak. I love it. And there are many, many, many interpretations or depictions of them across history. I love the fantasy aspect of them, but they are indeed real. Deliveries, war, etc. I digress; I could write hours and hours proclaiming my love and the biggest reason why I am personally attached or infatuated with them, but later! I am just over the moon- finally the character I was meant to be. EVOLVED INTO GREATNESS. *psychotic laughter out of love intensifies*

Art was done a while back by gatotortuga on Telegram. She went above and beyond, because she took my request and returned it tenfold. As in, I asked to be dressed like the character, but she WENT AND JUST MOLDED ME INTO HIM, IT WAS INSANE. THE LOOK ON MY FACE THAT DAY, THE HEARTBEAT UPON INSTANTLY SEEING IT...IT IS BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!
