Also, in Kai and Sol’s world, Vocaloid units usually get their own names. Like, think naming Pokemon. It’d be awkward calling out ‘MIKU’ in public when there’s Multiple Miku’s, after all.
As such, I’ve given names to my group-- I’ve actually added them to the abouts on both Kai and Rin’s blog, and the ConcealedRelations blog.
Names under the cut! I’ll try keeping up with calling them such.
Kai{KAITO V3}
Nika {SONiKA}
Phoenix {Ritsu Namine}
Soleil {Rin Kagamine V4x}
Lunaire {Len Kagamine V4x}
Poppy {Tei Sukone}
Azura {Lapis Aoki}
Yuko {MAYU}
Rio {Kiyoteru Hiyama V2}
Talon {Rana V4}
As for the rogue units:
Alice {Miku Hatsune V3}
Rose {Luka Megurine V4x}
Dahlia {MEIKO V3}
Laven {Gakupo V3}
Tallis {Piko Utatane}
There is also Jade, a Yanhe War Unit from the current RP, that. I wanna squeeze in somehow. Or at least I’ll doodle a lot and post here probably.
Third also doesn’t-- have a name-name yet either, since he isn’t around right now. I’m sure he’d have a better name than Third though,
Hi I’m gonna ramble about Kai’s mansion bc I feel like it?
Kai’s mansion is pretty much the center, or heart, of the pocket dimension.
...though don’t get any ideas, destroying it won’t destroy the place, that’d just piss Kai off.
Which--- isn’t the direction I was gonna go with this post but it came to mind uh
ANYWAY
It’s a big ol’. Eldritch location-y place. Bigger on the inside, changes a LOT on the inside. Rooms change, number of rooms change, types and sizes, windows where they don’t make sense-- if you punch the wall hard enough to actually break a hole in(which is damn hard unless you have like super strength), you’d only see Void in the hole
There are set areas though-- the living room, kitchen, Rin’s room, Kai’s room, and the Library.
The library is -- again, super big. Like, really big. Bigger than it should be. Some of the books might not even be ‘real’? Or might be empty. But, those are the ones more out of reach. The ones in reach are likely all real books--- that. Kai likely doesn’t really know where they came from but won’t complain either way ASDFGFD
(in reality--- they ARE an android from a very advanced world-- the books might be based on stuff that could be found online as ebooks or somethin’ made physical, I don’t know-- this is all big handwaving and me pondering)
The pathways to these rooms GENERALLY stay the same-- but sometimes change. Rin’s room is generally on the ground floor, but-- especially once they’re all aware of what Kai can do-- can sometimes lead to the balcony. Kai’s room is generally on the ‘second’ floor, or a top floor. The library can be accessed from both.
It’s incredibly possible to get lost in the mansion, though-- but. Mainly if Kai is wanting to mess with you, or doesn’t want you there. They can trap you in the mansion to wander the repeating, winding, seemingly endless halls filled with empty guest rooms and such things. If they’re really wanting to mess with you, they can make it go straight up P.T. or something of the like.
They can also basically add any kind of rooms they want, if the thought comes to mind. Someone suggest a theatre? A theatre can be in there. Indoor pool? That could be possible too. Ect ect
SO there’s this one character surveys from yeeears ago on LiveJournal
LET’S REVISIT IT BECAUSE I
WANT TO DO THESE FOR MY KIDS,
.....starting with Kai,
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Are they heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Tall, kinda curvy hips, slightly broad shoulders. Basically kind of hourglass in normal form.
In BR mode, they're just. Really tall, thin, slender, with unnaturally long limbs as well.
2. How old are they?
I've kinda considered their starting mental age was like, 17? Kaito's don't have a set or canon age so... if you add on activation years, mid twenties?
Though, activations years alone, as in, how long they've Actually been 'alive'/active/around, would be about 7 and a half years old right now.
3. Describe their posture. Do they carry themself well or do they slouch?
Tends to stand tall and straight, sometimes with their hands behind their back back/arms crossed behind their back in that sort of-- authority pose.
4. How is their health? Are they fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
uhhhhhhhh
how to put this, since I'm not sure what it'd be considered
There's the whole weird corruption thing going about with them, which affects them physicall as well as.... mentally and spritually. It's physically all up in their hardware and stuff too.
I suppose they could be considered fit as well, I guess. Not... muscular or toned though.
5. How do they move? Are they clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Their movements tend to be rather graceful, normally. They’re hardly clumsy. If they’re glitching, or deciding to... have some fun... with someone, their movements are still kind of graceful, but also more calculated. Predator-like, especially when definitely in glitch-mode.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How do they perceive themself in the mirror?
Idek, they don't really consider much with their looks at all.
Some of my friends have called them pretty and handsome though?
7. Describe their complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Light, paled, honestly slightly grey-ish.
Also, they have blue blood so their blush and wherever blush would show it turns up blue too.
8. Describe their hair: color, texture, style.
A dark blue that fades into a dark reddish--kind of purple at the ends. Mostly since it's... reddish mixed with the blue. So.
Texture is verrrrrrrry soft. Very pettable.
Style is... well, a bit longer than some Kaito units, vaguely wavy and kind of curves at the ends--- bangs curve as well. Kinda floof.
9. What color are their eyes?
A dark blue, vaguely indigo. Pupils look slit, like a cats. Or demons. Depending on your view on Kai I suppose. Tend to be without highlights as well.
Can turn red if their system indicates a potentially fatal/dangerous error, though. But that comes in steps. Usually, red light in their pupils first, then a red ring in their eyes around the pupil area, then flickers, then totally red. The red coloration doesn't look exactly 'natural' though, since the pupil is bright along with the red ring, while the base behind it is a dark red.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
They tend to have a kind of wide, thin toothy grin for a smile. It's--- not a real smile, but it's common on them as a default.
Their scarf can turn into scarf arms too, and they go between being sneaky to obvious with them. The previously mentioned slit pupils could count as well.
11. What are their chief tension centers?
Shoulders, likely. And shoulder blades, especially in keeping with a straight tall posture most of the time.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Their actual wardrobe is surprisingly big for someone who seems to only ever wear one outfit. They have their default, slightly, regal, dark modified Kaito V3 coat with their symbol on the chest.
Their usual thought on casual is simply taking that off, though they aren’t entirely comfortable having it off. Underneath is a slightly darker Kaito V3 shirt, the turtlenecked sleeveless thing.
Within their wardrobe though, is a collection of various outfits, mostly also dark themed. Some tacky sweaters specifically for winter as well.
They also have a nice collection of dresses, varying for more elegant gothic lolita types to vaguely aristocratic. More mature-type styles.
13. Do their clothes fit well? Do they seem comfortable in them?
Yes, actually! Their clothes are pretty much a perfect fit. ...Well, at least in their normal-looking form. Though they can be modified for BR mode too, quite easily. But it’s likely if they’re going to wear any sort of outfit outside of their default one, they’d stick to looking normal.
14. Do they dress the same on the job as they do in their free time? If not, what are the differences?
They....... don’t have a job. Unless you count maintaining the island, but that doesn’t require a different outfit.
Performing for covers might depend though, but usually there’s not much need for a change there either.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxer-briefs.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Uh.
Like this.
When it comes to being a Kaito unit with a Kaito voice, they tend to go with their Soft voicebank. Soft, gender factor heightened a bit(or, tone slightly lowered in other words.), ocassionally mixed a slight bit with the straight VB.
Their voice is usually smooth, though their voice has the tendency of glitching depending on their emotions. The glitching can be skipping, sounding more pitch-snapped, broken record-sounding on some sounds, mixed with static, and something akin to pokemon glitch noises.
2. How do they normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Do they talk easily, or do they hesitate?
Soft, evenly. Precisely. Usually speaks easily, unless tripped up by unforseen turns of events. They’re rarely loud unless glitching and Enraged.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
...There’s like, a few ways to answer this--
Like, I mean. On one hand, they could sound like this(I only have song examples I haven’t done talkloid examples I’m sorry,,,), and have the tics and quirks related to that.
On the other, it depends on how the voices for GVF-loids actually work since i’m Not Sure, especially since they were raised by an american kid who also apparently has an accent everyone keeps pointing out as sounding british/european/ ? ? ? ?? despite never being to anywhere in Europe eir whole life.
and ironically when I asked about accents for kai it seemed the way they talk evokes something of a similar feeling-- either that or new england/canadian-ish, but....
So uh, yeah. It depends. To be safe, assume the former. To have fun in imagining, or if somehow someone’d voiceact them... ... the... latter......? not that that’s very descriptive or certain anyway, but. Still.
---Oh, also, when messing around they sometimes go sing-song a little too, or that kind of... playful~ feel.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
---hahaha again this entirely depends on how it actually works.
Like, They’re a KAITO unit. Kaito units are Japanese Vocaloids.
But again, they were raised by an american kid. Who didn’t know Japanese.
So it again depends on how Vocaloids in that world work out. Maybe they had language capabilities early on? or at least by the time Teru got them.
For sure English at least though, and definitely can -sing- Japanese.
5. Do they switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope.
6. Are they a good impromptu speaker, or do they have to think about their words?
They generally have to think about their words, but usually doesn’t take noticeably long. Impromptu speeches might be kinda tricky.
7. Are they eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Eloquent, generally.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Are they book-smart or street-smart?
They’re quite smart! They can figure things out and come to conclusions, connect the dots, quickly.
They might be a little street-smart too, or at least pre-BR and secluding themselves.
2. Do they think on their feet, or do they need time to deliberate?
Typically need at least a little bit of time to deliberate, but if they really need to think on their feet they’d try their best-- not a pro at it though.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Are they more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Generally logical, and practical. They tend to try to keep an eye on what’s going on or what someone is doing, while not bringing it up immediately unless it seems necessary
4. What kind of education has the character had?
They’ve had, like, no schooling. Never been to a school as a student.
They do, however, catch on and are able to learn quickly with whatever they want to learn about-- they just teach themself and not in a classroom setting.
5. What are their areas of expertise? What, if anything, are they interested in learning more about?
Cooking! Potentially alright with engineering too, since they built Nana and Blue-- though that was totally self-taught, while with cooking they learned by cooking with Teru.
They likely tend to look up things like weather patterns and how various types of landscapes, biomes, geographies work for the sake of the island as well. They’re also interested in space, even if they can’t get to see ‘actual’ outer space.
6. Are they an introvert or an extrovert?
Introverted, very much an introvert.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
It’s... weird? They can keep themself in check sometimes, they generally can have the vibe of some sort of calmness--- but at the same time, especially thanks to their glitches (and corruption), their temper can be noticeable sometimes.
(not to mention once in glitch-mode, they-- have an unnerving calmness to them that just, seemingly out of nowhere sometimes bubbles up into sudden bursts of rage that can leave as quickly as they came.)
They’re --- also more melancholy than anything, by default. They’re laid-back and mellow when they’re by themself/with Rin/not messing with some random person.
8. How do they respond to new people or situations? Are they suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Typically a little suspicious. It entirely depends on how the new person seems to be though, and if anyone’s with them at the same time, or if they know they new person might already get along with Rin or not.
If Rin’s with them, or they know Rin’s fine with this person they themself haven’t met yet, they tend to--- still be a little suspicious, but calmer and polite.
If they don’t know the new person at all and Rin isn’t with them, and doesn’t know them--- Kai’s likely to decide to have a little Fun with the person, being kiiiind of a creep and messing with them.
---Whether or not that continues, goes overboard, or if they end up switching back to more calmer/polite/kind at a point depends on the individual and what they do/how they act/what seems to be going on with the person.
For situations in general, they--- stay suspicious and cautious, in general. But that also depends on the new situation.
9. Are they more likely to act, or to react?
--again, depends on the situation. They’ll act if that seems to be the best option, they’ll wait to react if that seems the best.
If it’s dangerous though, they might be more likely to act to make sure nothing else happens, I guess.
10. Which is their default: fight or flight?
Fight. Especially since they’re--- a lot more durable and capable now. Pre-BR they also still had it more at a fight response, though they knew when to run too.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Do they appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
They appreciate jokes! Puns make them groan though, but sometimes still can’t help but chuckle.
Their own sense of humor can be considered kind of dark, though. If not that, sometimes it’s kind of teasing. Depends on who they’re with.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how do they deal with them?
---I’ll be honest I kind of keep away from talking about this with my muses a lot since I fear things seeming--- .. bad?
or wording things bad
but I mean given everything that’s happened in their life as well
but uh
slides to the next question
13. What moments in this character's life have defined them as a person?
--Likely... realizing how young Teru was despite being their Masuta, the twins activations, seriously glitching for the first time, accidentally stabbing Teru’s eye out, the Third-kun incident...
some other thing in between all of that that I’ve had vague thoughts about but probably falls within the glitching for the first time
14. What do they fear?
Bees, needles, getting worse and giving in to their glitched thoughts too easily and losing themselves to corruption.......... losing Rin....
15. What are their hopes or aspirations?
They actually... don’t have many. They do just hope for Rin and the rest to have a good life and keep her safe, at least. They don’t have many aspirations for themself, though.
16. What is something they don’t want anyone to find out about them?
The fact that their glitched thoughts and glitch mode is really tempting and can feel enjoyable to them when they’re in it, the full scope of the BR stuff...
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with their parents.
I mean. They don’t have parents, they’re an android.
And even then, they don’t know who their creator was, even in being garage-built.
Closest would be Teru, being their Masuta? but even then, it’s a weird situation since Teru literally got them when ey was 14, so even if they were barely activated, they were--- still ‘set age’ older than em. So it’s like. Teru was also like a little sibling while also--- vaguely--- parental?
while Kai was like a big brother/sibling but-- also vaguely parental/mom-like even from then.
...Familial. Most that can be easily said, I guess. They used to get along very well regardless, and were actually very close.
Though, because of the Third-kun incident... that changed. Believing Teru betrayed and lied to them, they’ve held a grudge against em ever since.
But it’s also... complicated because--- part of them--- kinda knows the situation... couldn’t of been how they assumed? But a louder part keeps believing that was the case. They still--- hold some affection towards Teru and, well, that’s partially why Teru isn’t injured or dead right now, given how they can lash out, especially after that event.
Teru pretty much blames emself for it regardless, so. They also likely haven’t interacted or talked in a long time.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Well I just went slightly in-depth with their relationship with Teru above so no need repeating that
Meanwhile, there’s also the other mansion fams--- or uh, the other Vocaloids Teru owns. Since Kai was the very first, they’re pretty much The Big Brother/Sibling.
- ...but, that doesn’t mean they all get along or trust them. Kai’s first ‘greeting’ for Sonika was shaving her head, which... is a poor first impression. She’s been weary of them ever since.
- Ritsu was next, and--- well, things didn’t work out there either, not helped by Ritsu’s own temper and general distrust for people as a Default. As well as being kinda rude. They both became kind of cruel in teasings in retaliation to.... each other basically. Eventually it settled, but--- Ritsu still hates Kai like a Burning.
- The Kagamine’s were next, a Christmas present from Teru’s family. Kai pretty much instant had feelings of wanting to protect and care for both of them..
- Len became more--- cautious though, and given how Kai kind of acted some times, didn’t trust them.Their potential temper, occasional dark jokes, and such-- didn’t make Len comfortable. Mixed with finding out about the whole shaving Sonika’s head thing as a ‘greeting’.....
Kai did notice Len becoming more cautious and suspicious of them, which. Bothered them. Especially since Len was their little brother, basically--- They wanted Len to trust in them and be okay with them but. Never could quite get it right.
- Rin though, wanted to give Kai a chance, despite Len’s caution. From the start she ended up learning and believing in the good in people, keeping a positive attitude. Not naive though, she’s aware of how bad things can get and kinda were in the world, but--- she still kept hope.
So, this translated out also to Kai. Despite Sonika’s reservations about them and Len’s worries, she saw more good in them than even they kinda knew. So, even from the beginning, she was willing to get close and be with her big brother, get to know them, have some fun with them. She was happy to do so,
The two would also sometimes get into some mischief, but if Kai started getting a bit too far she’d reel it in.
Truthfully, despite all that, Kai did believe that after the Third event happened, that even she would likely give up and be disgusted with them for all that happened. She likely must of liked that new unit better, right? And now he was gone. By their hands. Especially with what little of those memories still remained.
...but, they were wrong. Rin went to see them a week after to make sure they were okay, and stuck by them even then.
...they didn’t quite understand, but they were thankful. ...though, at the same time, it kinda did Worry them about her, and even now, a few years later from that, she’s helped her a lot but-- they still don’t quite... trust themself.
Rin does though. They might not see a lot of good in themself, but she does.
- Tei was after them, and--- well. It’s not exactly negative? Tei actually-- relates to them a bit, especially with the glitches. However, considering Len’s caution, worries, and distrust over them, she typically just... steers clear of Kai.
Kai has nothing against Tei for it either, though if anything, kinda does find her slight obsession with Len uncomfortable.
- Lapis, the small faerie Vocaloid, preeeetty much has always been intimidated by Kai. She’s generally quite timid, so she’s--- easily intimidated in general, but especially with Kai and their... slight vibes because of glitches and such didn’t help.
Kai did try to be gentle with her though, trying to watch what they did/said but-- slip ups would still happen.
It’s also... kind of likely that that also frustrated them greatly, which--- well, wouldn’t lead to good things.
The whole Third situation and BR didn’t help at all either, the vibes that stuff would give off to her makes her even more terrified.
- Mayu was after, and they actually used to get along quite well! Nice small chats, having tea together (with Rin too), nice relaxing times despite everything. Another little sister, so.
Unfortunately, after the Third situation... she came to hate Kai, since, as far as she’s aware, and theorizes, they likely killed Third out of jealousy-- being the accidental new KAITO V3 unit, and Kai fearing replacement. She had gotten close to Third in the few months he was actually around, and after that all happens... she’d find it hard to forgive Kai.
Kai’s aware of this as well, and actually... feels pretty terrible about it. Chooses not to think on it often, though.
- Kiyoteru--- is weird since while he was after the island situation, he’s still...? part of the family.
Kiyoteru is pretty much more than fine for Kai, and has kind of an interest in them too. Though, that might be because they’re the closet to a high demon that’s on the island.
Kai’s kind of unaware of that all though, but is just kinda glad Kiyo has nothing against them.
- Rana’s also weird since she’s a rogue unit that just kinda popped up on the island, asserted herself, became part of the family that way.
...Rin at least gets along with her at least and considers her a very good friend, so Kai doesn’t mind her a lot. Even if her assertion is slightly irritating.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom they are close? Are there ones they can't stand?
I mean, again, no blood relatives, they’re an android.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
AS OF CURRENT BLOG TIME, not really except for--- potentially Kachessa and Rook? But--- that might also one of the next couple of questions better.
Planned though for the future (and toyed with in private) are Kaitou, maybe Ren and Star, also potentially Mint and Pepper.
Though as of now with the reboot they haven’t met Any Of Them, but there are plans. (I mean, aside from Pepper currently, with that interaction thread going. www should be fun )
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Rin counts a lot currently as a best friend, while also little sister! Very close regardless.
6. Do they have other close friends?
Kachessa counts right? She popped up in the island and at least in this verse kinda got stuck there. But she and Kai get along real well, and Rook-- her son--- is there too,
Luka definitely counts as well. They get along quite well, too.
7. Do they make friends easily, or do they have trouble getting along with people?
Oh goodness. Again, it entirely depends on the situation or person, but if I had to say a definitive, they do kiiiiind of likely have trouble, which happens when you’re first general reaction to seeing an new, unknown person appear in your territory is ‘....haha let’s give a ~fun~ greeting~’
and by fun I mean kinda messed up/creepy
...also, even past that, they kind of have a difficult time telling when it’d be proper to consider someone a friend, so...
8. Which do they consider more important: family or friends?
I mean, they kinda adopt close close friends in their mind as family so--- Both are important---
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Have they been married more than once?
Nnnnope, never married, not interested in ever marrying either.
Can androids even get married in the GVF-verse?
10. Are they currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Again. Not married. Not interested. Also, they’re aromantic too so---
11. Who was their first crush? Who is their latest?
Irrelevant, I don’t think they’ve really ever crushed on anyone ever
12. What do they look for in a romantic partner?
points at past couple questions
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how do they relate to them? If no, does he want any?
No, and no.
14. Do they have any rivals or enemies?
...Not at the moment? That I’m aware of, anyway, idek if they would of made some enemies pre-br or anything. Will is a potential enemy but they don’t even know he exists, so.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where do they fall on the Kinsey scale?
I mean, they’re Aromantic Asexual. But guys are more aesthetically pleasing to them in a sense? It’s likely they thought about this before but kinda ignored it/not knowing what to make.
How does it even count when you’re agender, not even I’m totally sure on that, and I’m agender too. but man I’m not gonna get into that in a character survey,
16. How do they feel about sex? How important is it to them?
not important at all, no interest in it no need for it no attraction to it either.
17. What are their turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
nope
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Dude I have no idea, if I go with their activation date I think they’d be a Cancer, but in reality I have no idea what kind of chart would Actually Fit Them.
I mean, I love astrology, but I do wonder how it’d work with Androids---
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in their life?
...hhhhonestly they’re at a weird spot with it.
They’re aware souls exist, they they and other androids in general likely have souls-- but...
it’s... weird? They aren’t sure about religions or what’d be ‘right’ or what they believe in with that stuff. They’ve looked into spiritual stuff in general before, but... yeah, they don’t know where they stand or believe with that stuff. Literally getting turned into some vague eldritch monster in a pocket dimension also kinda muddied it up.
Magic clearly exists. Souls clearly exist. The heck does it all count in?
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
---While their moral compass can be a little screwy, they do believe in protecting those they care about. They also at least keep to basic things like, not stealing, and stuff.
But ah-- mainly because of their glitches (and corruption), it gets kinda skewed in messing with people, or... killing. And punishments, if pushed far.
They’re Chaotic Good/leaning on Neutral.
4. How do they regard beliefs that differ from theirs? Are they tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Actually kind of curious, even if they don’t know where they stand on some of their own. Tbh as long as they aren’t bothering other people with it (or like, ruining peoples lives with it or trying to push stuff that would ruin peoples lives) they’re pretty much alright.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
I mean, humans are pretty fragile. Dunno if that counts though.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Are they rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Pre-BR, it-- changed a lot? When they were first activated, Teru wasn’t rich at all. Also, just 14. However, thanks to Sonika starting a fashion brand, working on her clothes and selling them, their family in general started becoming more well-off.
As is now, it doesn’t matter a lot. Though it is possible there’s still money on-hand, they don’t need to use it on the island. Everything is just provided.
2. What is their social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected them?
---See above. Though as for social status I’m not sure, I can’t see them wanting too much to go in the lime-light, or, well, at least Kai and Teru wouldn’t. The additional money at least helped with financial worries, though?
Though they did kind of have small fantasies of becoming super rich, not having to worry about a thing, all of them living in their own big ol’ mansion on their own property.......
3. Where do they live? House, apartment, trailer? Is their home their castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Do they share it with others?
A Freaking Mansion. A dark-colored one, as that. It’s pretty much their castle too, a base of operations, a shelter to hide themself in. It’s kept up with very well, and they’re willing to share it with anyone they care for-- but, mostly, they just share it with Rin (who has her very own room in it despite also having her own place with Len), and their pet cat Kou.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what do they spend their money on?
--Again, no need to use money themself. Pre-BR was mainly ice cream though, surprise surprise.
...though I guess if needed, potential games or such for Rin too. I’m--- not actually sure how they GET to the island in the first place, but. Handwave. Magic.
5. What do they do for a living? Are they good at it? Do they enjoy it, or would they rather be doing something else?
They don’t... do anything for a living? The most they do is cook a lot and try reading books to learn new things or just for the sake of it. Also, always cooking.
But none of it is done for money, just their own enjoyment/wants/to feed Rin and Kou.
6. What are their interests or hobbies? How do they spend his free time?
Cooking! Also, reading. For a while on their spare time they would also tinker with Nana and Blue back when they were working on the two, is was a big learning experience making them.
But yeah, in general they either cook food or snacks in their free time, or just read. Might also read up on stuff Rin is interested in, too.
7. What are their eating habits? Do they skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
....well, pre-BR they tried to eat a regular 3 meals a day. Post-BR, they don’t even -need- to eat, so they--- tend to uh. Not eat often, save for tasting when cooking.
...also, they’ve never tried alcohol at all before, and REALLY don’t care too. Given they hear descriptions of it messing with self control or somethin’, they think that + their glitches would likely equal disaster.
They also mainly kind of avoid spicy foods, they are Really, Really Weak to spiciness.
Associations
Which of the following do you associate with the character, or which is his favorite:
1. Color? Dark blue, or purple. Sometimes reds.
2. Smell? Warm baked goods, vaguely sweet
3. Time of day? Evening, Dusk
4. Season? Fall/Winter
5. Book? i don’t read books enough to have one in mind
6. Music? this song, or this
7. Place? The parks at night, or a fancy mansion. Or a chefs kitchen--
8. Substance? ice cream. ...br goop? ...ice? I don’t really know what this is asking for,
9. Plant? blue or black roses maybe? there were also these dark blue/purple lilies I saw at the store once. ...though really I have no clue for this one.
10. Animal? Cats
Peter rarely does it, and when he succeeds it is never more then a couple hours at time. This was never an issue before he was bitten by the spider but after so much trauma and so many beatings he is plagued with nightmares. They can very in severity and frequency but the most reoccurring one is the death of his first love, Gwen Stacy.
the br stuff isn’t like... entirely unopposed or anything though
Lumi, who also exists outside of the worlds, pretty much is a direct counter— her abilities of purification can take it away from those corrupted with the not-power giving corruption.
The power giving ones though, if they’re already in phase 1 and up... is more difficult. She would be able to get them down to phase 1 if they’re in phase 2 or 3, but it’d take more, and there’s also the likelihood of a fight. The BR kind of ‘responds’ to her more too, causing a sense of unease in the person.
Lumi— can /die/, but— like what I can remember from the canon info, she’ll revert into a small jellyfish, disappear off somewhere, and would need to be taken care of as she eventually reverts back to her human looking form.
.... a middle phase of that would look like that concept art of her that was more jellyfish
Part of me wonders if as a comparison that Lumi might be able to gift some of her purification ability to people or not, or something. Hmmm.
(also. does this count as muse spoilers???? probably??? maybe???? i don’t know i just like to Ramble)
so like with richard the corruption he spreads isn’t always like, power-giving. sometimes it just fucks with the people. idek if it does other stuff to somehow spread more or not but basically the power-giving corruption stuff isn’t a frequent thing
there’s like, maybe two or three other characters among the worlds/multiverse that I have thoughts for as being corrupted with the power-giving stuff aside from Kai
he’s able to corrupt people himself bc he is being outright used as a vessel/meat puppet/host/emissary for like the main. actual fuckin eldritch entity behind the BR stuff. corruptive dark force elder god bullshit that’s mostly formless but my mental image of a representation is the BR eye surrounded by tendrils/thorny vines or something
I still need to think of outright reasonings since this is all working backwards and stuff but eventually he did get curious about the units, and likely the increase in arcane units, to where he decided at a point to do a little Experiment himself
Damien was chosen at random, out of false builders he saw, to work with. Damien, being a false garage builder sent out by the GVF, would purposefully make faulty units to people looking to get garage built units, to smear the reputation of garage building. (a waste of his talent, honestly, but at least he gets to be out in public)
Richard would of disguised himself to look like a normal person, and-- being, well, completely in Phase 3, that’s super super easy for him. Damien would of been weirded out at this rando but eventually they did work together on one unit they started on-- which. Would of been Kai.
Since units could have powers, Richard likely stuck in his own corruption while building Kai with Damien, really without even Damien being fully aware.
With Richard also working on making Kai tho, that also meant Kai’s build is. Slightly different from general GVF builds. They didn’t need a tuner to be opened up, though the option was given, and it’s likely some internal stuff is different. maybe this could be my bs reasoning as to their ‘simulated breathing’ stuff they do, and maybe that could of also been played off as some of the experimenting. Idek
In order for Richard to make sure the corruption actually took hold/stuck with Kai though, he’d need to actually. See them active.
As such, the two did do test runs, but Richard decided to keep them on for longer... specifically, a little over two weeks, maybe three.
Basically, during the androids main learning/training period.
He wouldn’t bother to really wipe anything after, either.
....either way, Richard likely secretly kept an eye on Kai even after they were given to Teru, to see how things would go, what would happen, if this would work.
.......and upon rambling up to this point I realize I went way off my initial ramblings which was BASICALLY
Richard is a vessel for the main BR elder god what the heck ever, and as such Kai getting the corruption is similar to getting it straight from said thing
Same with. Those other handful of characters that got the power-giving corruption from Richard.
Though it doesn’t make them vessels for the outright elder god, but going up to phase 3 would basically be as powerful as Richard is. At the cost of, well, losing themselves.
They can’t even die, not really. Even if you remove the head, tear them apart, obliterate.
....that being said the more damage done, the longer it would take for them to come back. Outright thanos snapping them would proooobably take like. ...depending on what phase they are in, a month to years, and also depends on if they get uh... help. (like. Richard, or the BR main honcho. but that,,, would come at a price. You want them back, right...? Doesn’t matter how they’ll be....? even if they’re heavily corrupted, at least they’re back, right~~?)
And even then, they’d likely be in QC mode for _quite_ a while before totally snapping back to themselves. ...if they aren’t in Phase 3, since phase 3 doesn’t really get a QC mode since that’d be redundant.
this became a god damn novel i’m so sorry I’m just getting thoughts down
and also I Fear things being too OP but this is literally reality breaking eldritch stuff that’s pretty horrific to deal with sO i’m just. Shrugs.
also if --- kai for example got thanos snapped and thus was Gone for a long time, the pocket dimension at least has links outside that wouldn’t go away--- it’s likely it’d stay replenishing for a while but eventually... stagnates. The first obvious, immediate thing would be the time on the pocket dimension being stuck at whatever time that happened. Noon? Night? Morning? Evening? it’ll be like that until Kai comes back, however long that would be. Weather stays the same, as whatever it was when they got erased. The wind either stays blowing whatever direction it was at the time, or completely stops.
so eventually they’d all have to leave, back into their world.
also i’m using thanos snapped as an example because that’s like ultimate getting erased so
