Can I hear your opinion on my canon regarding Abel? (It was made after reading 978, 8787 and many other objects and stories, I also talked about him with Entomo-maniac).
My personal canon of Abel: Abel is a very tragic character, he hates himself for existing in this world, he was once kind and cheerful, but he was killed by his own brother, and then the Daevites resurrected him and deprived him of feelings and emotions so that he would kill without regret.
He destroys everything he sees and causes pain, but not because he hates, but because the Daevites programmed him to kill and not feel emotions, he understands all this, but he can't change because of the curse they put on him, because of this he hates himself.
By the way, Iris said something like this in SCP-8787:
"Dr. Bridge: You had 076-2?
SCP-105: Yeah. Without the whole… without his anomaly, he's honestly really… he's not a bad person. Something happened to him to make him the way he is now, and… he doesn't want to be like that. He was actually happy. And that just… got taken from him.
Dr. Bridge: If he was happy, then… why did he self-terminate once the code phrase was spoken?
SCP-105: Because he knew that… what we had wasn't real. It was fucking Sidney messing around with our heads. But… if they had asked first, asked 'hey, how would you feel being together for a little bit'? Maybe… maybe he wouldn't have.
Silence on the recording.
SCP-105: You know how long it's been since I've seen him? Since before Alpha-9 was a thing. I… I want to apologize to him, if I can. Maybe… I don't know, maybe we'd be…
Dr. Bridge: Iris, I don't think that'd be a good idea."
Can he be blamed for the murders, I don't know, but for me it's more no than yes. Yes, Abel is a killing machine, I don't argue, but he was created this way against his will, you can be angry at the Daevites, but not at Abel. He was resurrected only for the sake of murder and chaos. As for me, Abel deserves only forgiveness for being made this way.
And I think if Abel had the opportunity to lift the curse and have his emotions back after that, he would do it right away, and most likely after lifting the curse he would want to do what he wanted many years ago, namely start a family and have children (the author of the article Kane Patos Crow himself spoke about this), for example with Iris or someone else. But because of the curse he can't do this and will suffer from it forever until someone lifts the curse from him.
Well, this is my the headcanon anon for this character and what do you think of it?
(These are my personal headcanons of Abel, yours may differ from mine and there is nothing wrong with that).
I can honestly see some similarities with your headcanon and my own interpretation of Ables character
I tend to go for a more psychological route (as I am a nerd), and more view what the daevas did as mental reprogramming?, but I wouldn't put anomalous tricks above them, infact they very much would and I do feel they're the most likely culprits behind his curse,
I also think that his upbringing from his early life didn't help with the expectations that were put on him, whether from the beneath two trees or the paragon interpretations, and the daevas just sortof indirectly reinforced beliefs he had about himself and his self worth as a person.
And I also think the foundation made things especially worse with omega 7, putting him in this constant re-enabling loop, further reinforcing the idea in his head that his only worth comes from being a living weapon, a tool to be used for combat.
I've also heard about the part of him wanting to start a family before, but if it is indeed from the author themself, that would just be more tragic honestly, as it very much reads as him craving some sort of normalcy in his life, which makes me also believe that if given the chance to free himself from whatever curse was put on him, he wouldn't think twice about it.
Overall I also think his character is very tragic, which honestly makes him both very interesting and endearing to me personally.
I like seeing him and putting him in situations, but I also want him to get better
SCP 105 is a minor 💀
