Description 99% of the time Rover is friendly and amiable.  But there are two things that will turn him into a very dangerous man:  Take his hat or threaten people he cares about.  

Another picture that belongs to no particular story.  Although, it must be something pretty serious to get him to make THAT face!  Any theories?

Oh, yeah.  It easily could have gone down this road.  Hurtin his crew turns a overly friendly goofy guy into something dangerous.

Oddly enough, Nana has Ludge to thank. If it wasn't for his slime, Amaril could have made it to one of the shuttles. Still, even if he succeeded, Nana probably would've given him a good caning until she was returned. At least my misguided Reem meant well. He honestly thought he was saving his childhood friend from a dangerous human.

Someone or something probably threatened his friends, who are pretty much his family...

There are very VERY few things that can get Rover furious. And threatening his friends is at the top of the list. And yes, they are his family. I pitty the person who unlocks Rover's protective side.

Heh.  Yeah.  Rover and Flyspur are very protective of one another, each in their own way.  While Flyspur can manage to be only mildly intimidating even when he tries (which is EXTREMELY rare) Rover is a force to be reckoned with.  He's a pretty hefty guy and with the use of that mechanical arm you really don't want to get between him and his crew.

It's his whole "Beware the Nice Guys" vibe; when meek, gentle and/or sweet-natured people finally get angry enough to snap, however briefly, it can be quite terrifying.
Case in point; in the anime "Digimon Tamers", the group leader Takato is probably the sweetest and calm-natured of the leaders in the Digimon franchise to date. Late in the show, one of his teammates has her partner killed and nearly breaks in despair. Takato is so infuriated that he transforms his own partner (basically a puppy in a dinosaur body) into the embodiment of the apocalypse and tells him to go EAT the murderer; it's one of the scariest moments in the franchise let alone "Tamers" itself.

Whoa, I wouldn't want to stand in his way if he ever made that face. o.O Whoever ticked him off, they should be getting really nervous right now.

Okay, my  theory... Hmm.

Let's go with this: Rover and his gang buy a pile of cheap knick-knacks from a merchant on a remote asteroid (Flyspur feels the guy is shifty and leaves with an uneasy feeling). What neither they they nor the merchant know is that, in-between the stuff they bought, there is a treasure map. A very valuable one at that. Days later, the Nellie-Bell gets attacked by a group of vicious pirates. As Rover is the captain, they separate him from the others and question him about the map. Rover has no idea what they're talking about, so they start threatening to hurt his friends if he doesn't tell them where the map is. Rover on the other hand keeps demanding to see his friends. (insert scene from above here)

How does Rover's crew get out? Well, it seems that the pirates have overlooked Trigger, who hid inside the Nellie-Bell when it got attacked. He manages to sneak out into the pirate ship and via an air duct, he creeps into the room where Rover is held. The pirates are currently in another room, discussing what to do next. Delighted, Rover spots Trigger and tells him to search the pile knick-knacks. Of course, Trigger speeds off and retrieves the map. Meanwhile, the pirates have come back into the room, this time dragging Flyspur with them. They are holding a gun to his head and threaten to shoot him. Rover spots Trigger from the corner of his eye with the map. He then starts an over-dramatized act of breaking down and pleading with the pirates 'Okay, you got me, I have the map! I can't do this anymore!" giving Trigger the time to sneak into the room.

The little guy then jumps out into the middle of the room, pulling all the pirate's attention to him and the map. Then he lets off an electric charge. Rover sees that as his chance and changes the attachment on his arm to a flame thrower (He'd intended to get out a pair of scissors, but this is handy too) and burns through his ropes. Spouting flames, he jumps past the stunned pirates, grabs Trigger and Flyspur, shoves them out of the room and locks it behind him. Flyspur quickly leads them to where the other crew members are held. Rover opens the door by scorching the control panel on the wall. They all run back to the Nellie-Bell, followed closely by the pirates who have somehow managed to get themselves free and are now shooting wildly at their former prisoners.

By the skin of their teeth, the crew manages to escape, leaving the angry pirates well behind them. Rover takes the map back from Trigger and decides to go after that treasure himself. So, the Nellie-Bell takes course towards a new adventure.

...

Umm... Sorry, I got really carried away here XD

Rover does not get mad often but when he does you certainly want to stay out of his way.

Wow!  That was an amazing story!  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this!  You seem to have just as good a grasp on this universe and characters as I do!

Cosnsidering Rover's odd luck and all the junk he picks up here and there it's not in the least surprising that he would end up with something super-valuable by accident.  Being trapped in such a helpless situation and having no idea what is being done to his friends is certainly something that would make him furious.  I love that Trigger is actually their key to escape in this story!  He's a perfect little spy.  And Rover would SO overdramatize a confession, if his hands were free he'd probably strike the hand-to-forehead woe-is-me pose.   Eh...flamethrower, scissors, same difference

Seriously.  That was great!!  DO NOT APPOLOGIZE!!

It is. I'm currently still in the research phase, but it's coming along nicely. Have a few good ideas to structure everything a bit better.

And the same applies to you! I absulutely love your characters and your art. The Nellie-Bell crew are so much fun and their designs are really cool.

I'd also dislike very much to be on the receiving end of that! If someone took his hat, I can relate too. I wore my hat to school once and everyone was trying to take it. They quickly learned not to touch my hat! They'd, whoever They are, better learn the same thing very quickly, hat or crew!

chill13 In reply to AlexVanArsdale [2014-07-11 16:45:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh my, yes!  And no you definately wouldn't.  Rover's is generally a peaceful guy and gets along with most everyone but he's a force to be reckoned with when he is pushed too far.  When it comes to human standards he's a pretty physically imposing figure and some of the attatchments in that arm could make him even more threatening.  (provided he can find the right ones)

Very likely.  He and Flyspur have been close friends for almost as long as he can remember.  And while Flyspur is a lot tougher than Rover gives him credit for, Rover is fiercely protective of him.

Maybe this is during the story where Flyspurr got kidnapped; sometime after Nana smacked some sense into Rover when he was blaming himself. Now he's ready to go over whoever actually was to blame.

chill13 In reply to UniversesCollideInc [2014-07-11 17:02:14 +0000 UTC]

Rover is often completely oblivious of his mistakes but when something he's done, or hasn't done, affects his crew and he actually realizes it he is pretty good at giving himself a massive guilt trip.  And Nana is always a good one to smack him out of it.    And if he finds out that anyone has actually DONE anything to Flyspur they had better run.

Ooh, I think the bad guys need to return his friends pretty soon, or else. Although, I would like to see what he would do when he's 'mighty unfriendly'.   

I do think I'd be mad too, though, if someone took my hat and it looked like that. That's a nice hat. I used to have this bucket hat, I think it's called, that was my favorite. I used to wear it all the time, so I suppose I do know what that's like.

chill13 In reply to TwilightKeyblade928 [2014-07-10 14:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Well, you can bet that whatever's at the end of his mechanical arm at this point is a lot more threatening than a hand.

His hat is the only thing that he owns from before he lost his memory.  So to him, it's almost like his only attatchment to humanity.  It's almost like a security blanket to him.

Hmmm... my theory is:

That some space pirates (or some other bad guys) have taken over their ship, and have separated Rover from the rest of the crew. The enemy is taking over the ship and is going to use Rover's crew and they're going to throw Rover off the ship.

Basically what I'm saying is that Rover's crew is kidnapped, and the people who are kidnapping are going to leave Rover to the curb, so to speak.

Nice theory or is it a bit...out there?

Very possible scenareo. Rover's ship is a bit unusual. While it looks like a complete wreck, it's engine is quite valuable. It is a Jump Drive. Instead of a warp like bubble it can send a ship instantly to another place with it's own wormhole. The technology is really only understood by the Nikati. So for anyone who wanted to hijack the ship would need to keep Nik and Kit to run it.
