Dive Man

“Alright, crew! Load ‘er up!”

-Dive Man, to his human coworkers

Dive Man is the second youngest robot in the fourth line of Robot Masters. He is Hard Man’s boyfriend and one of the two main protagonists of It’s Not Hard to Dive.

Appearance
Dive Man is a large, blue robot with a bulky build that is based off of a submarine. His helmet is vaguely cylindrical, and it sports an ear-like appendage on each side, as well as a white periscope with a blue lens on top. He has a wide blue chest plate with a red arrow on the left side of it, and the plate connects to two spherical blue shoulder guards. His blue arm guards are pointed at the elbows, and they end in white gloves. Underneath his chest plate is a white band of armor on his stomach, which has a yellow dial on it, and this band is attached to his blue pelvic plate. He has blue boots with white feet and white fins on the sides, and he also has a red dial on his back.

Without his armor, Dive Man is shown to have a somewhat muscular body. His hair is a dark brown crew cut, and his eyes are green. Perhaps his most notable feature is his cleft chin, which often gets made fun of.

He usually wears neat clothing such as polo shirts, jeans, dressy jackets, and his black boots. His garb is normally white and blue, and he sometimes dons a sailor hat as well.

Personality
Dive Man is fair, honest, and kind towards anyone he respects. A noble sailor, he is mature, well-mannered, and will not hesitate to defend anyone he cares about. He is rather merciful, as he often tries to find more peaceful alternatives to resolving conflict [rather than fighting], and is very brave. However, he is sometimes reckless and impulsive - especially when it comes to his own motion sickness. He is also a something of a prude, having a dislike for sexual things, but he doesn’t get angry when something sexual is briefly mentioned.

Towards Hard Man, he is shyly amorous and incredibly sweet. He is even somewhat clingy at times, and can easily start raving about him out of pure infatuation. If someone teases him for simping over Hard Man, he will become very flustered. Out of everyone he cares about, he is the most protective of Hard Man, and vice versa.

Trivia

 * NoisyMartian tried to keep Dive Man’s personality very close to canon but still make it more obvious how cute she thinks he is.
 * The original reason Hard Man and Dive Man were together was because they were both big and blue.
 * When NoisyMartian was writing the sixth chapter of It’s Not Hard to Dive, she unknowingly reused the dialogue from the third chapter that involved Hard Man describing Dive Man’s head as a “milkshake with doorknobs,” which the latter questioned.
