Chai and 808's designs in my Ghost au :) (+assorted bonus sketches)
This is a long post so BUCKLE IN YALL
The best cat on Vandelay Island 🙂↕️
And probably a big contributor to the plot. After Chai gets himself tied to her, he literally can't leave (at most he can be ~3 ft away from her before he starts getting dragged along. This max distance grows through the story until their tie is finally released). He tries anyway and fails miserably
While theyre tied together, if 808 were to be destroyed, Chai's ghost would be as well! So yeah. The cat is very important.
Im making her very chatty in this AU. Meow meow meow
Chai dies during surgery as he's supposed to get that robot arm. Due to the presence of the music player, the press' AI misjudges how far into his chest it should install the power core. So...uh... his whole chest kinda goes crunch....
He gets pretty gnarly ghost powers tho! He can manipulate electricity, magnetize himself and use it to manipulate metal, and of course he has his musical everything-is-on-beat ghost rhythm powers!
A ghost's form is based on (primarily) their psyche/current state of mind. Hence why Chai gains the use of his previously unusable arm AND a very cool scarf hand when he accepts the fact that he is far more capable than how he first/always thought.
I'd also like to say that Chai's outfit is just. What he wanted to wear. In the sense that he thought it, and his ghost changed accordingly. All his (otherwise inconsequential) costume changes are entirely based on his imagination :p
Chai functions on fun ghost cartoon logic. He can pull a bone out of his body and it just ZIPS right back into place as soon as he lets go of it. He likes using this for comedy (even though no one can really see/appreciate it)
Actually, the only ones (out of the tea-m) who can see him before he absorbs/breaks the harmonic force field are 808, CNMN, and Korsica (after she's revived)
He's easy to recognize even despite this bc he's got an air of static electricity around him. People's hair tends to stand on end when he's around lol
He electrocutes each of his friends at least once 💔 (NOT ON PURPOSE HE SWEARS)
Chai can take his music player out of his body and do whatever with it (including giving it to other people temporarily!) However, its like when he's tied to 808-- if the player is damaged, so is Chai (yaaayy)
Speaking of the player!! Peppermint eventually mods it to give Chai a holographic guitar he can actually learn to play. Go chase that rockstar dream you undead legend!!
I have no clue what other lore to add for now, so this is all yer gonna get. THAT BEING SAID, if you have any questions about these two, then please feel free to ask!
