DWN-015 Heatman

=DWN 015 - Heatman=

"Heat Man is a combat Robot Master created by Dr. Wily based on Fire Man's design. His body is highly resistant to heat and fire, and has the shape of a Zippo lighter, the lid sometimes shutting down unintentionally, usually when he guffaws. He has a dial in his back that regulates the power of his flames, which he's unaware of. His main weapon is Atomic Fire, which can produce flames up to 21,632 degrees Fahrenheit (12,000 degrees Celsius)." - MMKB " I just want my stupid butt flamethrower." - Heat

Backstory
Heat was built solely to destroy Megaman. When he was first created, his box was part of his body and his childish appearance and demeanour was solely a ploy to get others to lower their guards around and underestimate him, giving him the upper hand in combat. Unfortunately it ultimately failed and Heat was, like his brothers, taken down.

It was after being crudely rebuilt that he started to develop something of a bratty attitude, born from resentment at having failed and the fact that his "father" had essentially replaced him and his brothers, thanks to the addition of the third numbers. He was at least glad that none of the new robots were fire users, but that didn't stop him from treating them horribly at first. Nowadays he barely pays attention to them.

Psychology


Heat has always been immature, but after his defeat at the hands of Rock and the gradual increase in the amount of DWNs trying their hand at what he'd failed to do, he began to abuse his innocent appearance to gain attention and basically get his own way all the time. Whether it be crocodile tears, tantrums, puppy-dog eyes or whatever else, nothing is too low for him to stoop to to get what he wants. He's convinced that he can get away with anything, and should any of the other DWNs hurt him, he believes his brothers would be quick to get revenge for him.

Only barely hidden behind his adorable exterior lies something of a sociopath with a superiority complex. He tends to struggle to make friends with people who don’t share his ideas of what’s “awesome” and what’s not, and he has a strong dislike of most water and ice ‘bots (with his brother Bubble being the exception). His child-like appearance belies his twisted nature - he delights in sending anything and everything up in flames when he gets the chance, particularly living things. More often than not he talks about such destruction in childish wonder, but he can say some pretty nasty things sometimes. It's a side of him normally reserved for combat, but it comes out every now and then when he gets particularly annoyed.

"If I melt your stupid legs off so you can’t escape then I could. I could just keep you in the flames for as long as it’d take until you finally stop screaming and writhing and end up as a big dumb pink puddle on the ground.

So don’t tape my lid shut."

He also has a habit of drawing all the 'bots he dislikes lying in a pile and on fire, a practice he's come to call "updating the burning jerk pile".

Relationships

 * Metal: For a while, Heat actively avoided Metal due to his many malfunctions and changes in personality. Choosing to blame it on the fact that he was being "creepy" and "gross", Heat just didn't like the idea that they were getting old and that malfunctions were inevitable. Metal did seem to go back to "normal" eventually though, and Heat started talking to him again. As the second youngest, Heat looks up to his eldest brother and likes him better than Air.
 * Air: Heat doesn't really speak with Air much, partially because the little lighter claims he's "boring" and "bossy". Really he just doesn't like how much his big brother towers over him and how intimidating he can be.
 * Bubble: Bubble is among Heat's favourite brothers, despite his weapon being his weakness. Whether that's to do with the fact he provides him with food is up for debate. Whenever he needs comforting, Bubble is usually one of his go-to brothers.
 * Quick: Heat likes to pester Quick, but otherwise he doesn't get a lot of chances to speak with him.
 * Crash: Crash is Heat's number one favourite brother, and he likes to announce that at any opportunity. He knows Crash is able to see right through his childish behaviour and isn't afraid to call him out on it, but he has a strong bond with his brother and would do anything for him. He has a tendency to pester Crash for his bombs.
 * Flash: Heat doesn't dislike Flash, but he does tend to have disagreements with him that often end up with taped up lids. It usually stems from the fact that Heat likes to bug him, asking him stupid questions about whether he has a buttchin or something and just generally pushing his luck. He does like it when he gets piggy-back rides though.
 * Wood: There was a time when Heat found it funny to set parts of his brother on fire every so often, just because the wooden robot was so flammable. Then one day Wood went awol, and Heat started to feel terrible about hurting his brother like that but with no way to apologise. When he finally returned, Heat was overjoyed and made a promise to himself to treat his little brother a lot better from then on.
 * Roll: Heat harbours a little not-so-secret crush on Roll, but aside from his tendency to like her posts on Tumblr in the hopes that she'll notice him, he's too shy to really act on it. He'll vehemently deny that said crush exists if it's brought up, of course.
 * Ice: Heat has frequent disagreements with Ice, insisting that he's "lame" and that fire is so much better than ice. He really just wants a friend since Ice is one of the few robots with the same sort of child-like build as him, but his pride won't let him admit that. So he just tries to get the ice 'bot's attention by antagonising him, which... doesn't usually work out very well.
 * Flame: Flame doesn't share the same sorts of views on fire that Heat does, which has led him to dub him "Flame-o the Lame-o" and antagonise him frequently. Unlike with Ice, however, Heat has no desire to be friends with him. When he's bored, he likes to see how much taunting the younger 'bot can put up with until he snaps. So far Flame has managed to keep his cool (pun not intended).
 * Scorpio: Scorpio is someone else who Heat enjoys pestering - in this case, the little lighter just finds his reactions funny. He likes to call him a lobster and a "pretty pink princess".
