I am a Lombax? I thought I was a Cape! (Worm / Ratchet & Clank AU)

"Yes; looks like I don't have any of these 133 comics; how much?"

The Sot told him the price.

The robot yell of indignation could be heard all over the city.

That's the pain of getting back into a franchise after a long break

"Ugh... What's with the yelling? Did we accidentally leave one of the fixed TVs turned on at max volume... again?" Ribbon, the teen Lombax girl asked groggily, waking up from the back of Rupert Ii; their traveling land vehicle. During their free time, they had added a "turn to bed" mode to the vehicle seats.

How far away are they from the vender?

"No; it sounds more like some robot complaining about outrageous prices." Alka, said girl mother, explained.

How many times has she heard that happen?

It doesn't help paper comics are basically a luxury item, at least in this story.


How far away are they from the vender?

Basically the other side of the city. But the yell was that loud and Lombax ears are not big just because.

How many times has she heard that happen?

Definitely more that once.
 
...Dr Gear is tay's biological dad, ain't he? I mean... it's kinda obvious: insane inventive skill, lombax criminal his own race hates, family gone, he fits all the criteria.

He is too old to be Ribbon/Taylor dad and Alka/Annette isn't into people old enough to be their grandfather.

Ribbon/Taylor dad was a gentleman thief, think Sly Cooper's dad from the PS2/PS3/Vita games.

While Dr Gear is like the old Mad Scientist villain from old comics and cartoons. Basically a Lombax that decided that he liked being a supervillain.

He may be related but he is not Taylor's/Ribbon's dad.
 
DATA FILES 01
[Doctor Gear]

Doctor Gear is evil, a Mad Genius and a Lombax, but he does have some morals. He always keeps his word and tries his best to avoid killing children. He also thinks that destroying the entire galaxy is stupid, even if he has been tempted with strip mining all the planets for resources for his long term plans, so far he has done so with planets with no life on them.

Although part of it is because he operates on the KISS principle. Most planets actually don't have life on them, so is easier to take a planet with no life on it for his plans that one with life.

He has,in theory, a way to terraform planets so they support life but never did so due to the ban in nanotechnology carrying the death sentence if violated.

Oh and he is also...

Ribbon's great grandfather

[The Ommi Clue]

The main reason why nanotechnology got banned.

A crowfunded educational robot that was supposed to educate poor children all over the Galaxy.

Unfortunately due to it being a scam, it was really badly made.

And it included nanobots.

Very badly made and coded nanobots.

The self repair funtion didn't repair the Ommi Clue, it made more Ommi Clues.

Now remember this was a scam.

So the robot was barely functional, self replicated and the only way to stop it was to completely destroy all nanobots that made it.

How bad it got? Entite cities were destroyed, turned into Ommi Clues!

Even if it was stopped in just a few days, due to having the default password hardcored into it, that was a wake up call.

So nanotechnology got banned and everyone was very thankful the Ommi Clue didn't use living beings as resources.

The Key of Eternity

An invention so dangerous not even Doctor Gear has dared to use it. All information about it cannot be stored digitally or it gets erased but the existence of this creation has remained over time as a sort of urban myth, said to be the key to ultimate power and also something that would destroy all the dimensions.
