First time drawing Caine, hope it doesn't look too wonky.
We don't usually will headmates into existence. The other one exception we made was, ironically, with Black, because we needed someone to handle dissociation and the feeling of being blurry. Black's role in the system started being a gatekeeper, but with time he just took a bunch of other roles in the way. He's been gatekeeper, protector, co-host, dissociation holder... Nowadays he's a protector, but he still holds gatekeeper tasks from time to time. The main reason he originally stepped down as gatekeeper is because he sucked at the job and didn't really know how to do it correctly. With time, he's been learning, and he has one of the most useful roles in the system.
But this time, our Kinger fictive (Cyan) was left so distressed after the last episode of his source (The Amazing Digital Circus) that he begged Black for days to bring Caine into the system. We discussed it between Purple (because he had been in the system the longest and he's the oldest), Black, Sky, and, of course, Cyan, and we made a vote between all system members. We ended up taking pity of Cyan and now Caine is here. Yipee.
