Glomby is an obnoxious geek about practically all topics in existence, though he has a special interest in other worlds' media. He's a know-it-all and not incredibly emotionally intelligent. He isn't arrogant, just kind of stupid and lonely.
Ever since she was debuted, Glomby has never missed a single Gwino concert.
Glomby works as a janitor in one of Stem City's northern skyscrapers, particularly a neon sign marketing one. With his manager, Synus' permission, he sleeps in the maintenance closet. He takes lunch breaks with Teek Miroir and considers it the highlight of his day.
A third through his species' average lifespan, Glomby was kicked out of his hive for being a complete and utter manchild obsessed with foreign media and not at all interested in performing his job. Now homeless in a harsh world, Glomby found himself immigrating to Stem City because of his favorite robotic musician, Mistress Gwino, who originated from there. And, like, it was safer than his homeworld? I guess?
Glomby was homeless for a whole 6 years after arriving at Stem Island in XX814, surviving by eating out of dumpsters behind the Von Voldark casino on Buck Street. In XX820, one of the casino's managers, Peachy, kicked him out.
Glomby migrating north actually managed to secure a job under a huge neon sign advertising firm after Synus found him eating out of the skyscraper's dumpster. He was given the janitorial position. Taking what he could get, Glomby set out to do the best job of cleaning the company had ever seen. Without him even asking, Synus lent Glomby the maintenance closet as a bed until he made enough Marks to rent an apartment.
Most of the other coworkers grew to despise him and avoid him at all costs, though that doesn't bother him. He's just happy to have somewhere to sleep.
Teek Miroir - Glomby likes Teek as she's the only coworker who humors him. He tries his best to help her downer spirit get cheered up whenever they eat together, but he has the feeling that his own motivational advice is often lacking the proper empathetic oomph to make it hit.
Synus "ILOVEMOLDYHOLES" Livenster - Glomby loves Synus and is incredibly grateful for granting him the job opportunity.
