The Hail, True Body quiz is done.

Which Hail, True Body character are you?

(Photo by the author, @mustangsflames on Tumblr) I don't think you want to be any Hail, True Body character.

I got this guy:

Literally no idea how to draw Daniel so I just said fuck it, shadow man true form

Hail, True Body Robotic!AU!

AAAAALLLRIGHTY! So, to start, I’d just like to make one thing clear: the original version of this is Hail, True Body by mustangs-flames, which you can check out here. With that out of the way, heeeres the AU!

What is it?

Overall, it’s a pretty simple concept: humans are still humans, but the mimics are now robots. That’s the most basic summary of it.

What are the mimics like?

The mimics were made by Lucifer(the original post about the AU said Gabriel, but I’m changing it to fit better with HTB) to just… wipe out humanity. Yeah. Lucifer’s still a priest, but he’s also an engineer in his spare time. The basement of the church is his workshop, so don’t be nervous if there’s some mechanical noises down there. Nothing’s alive in it, after all. The mimics themselves look somewhat humanoid in that they have a (mostly) human silhouette. It can change depending on the mimic. For example, some can have wings, animal-like features, digitigrade legs, paws, claws, several arms, more than two eyes, more than(or less than) one mouth… the list goes on. They do have a few similarities: all of them have glowing eyes in their unmodified forms, all of them can shapeshift, and all of them range from dark gray to pitch black. They can change size, too, so it usually just depends on what’s most convenient/comfortable for the mimic. Mimics are solar, emotion, and soul powered, and they need at least a small amount of all three to properly function. A mimic is made out of thousands of tiny little pieces(which, in its unmodified form, just stick together to look like your standard humanoid android that doesn’t trigger the uncanny valley), so it has to rearrange those pieces and use camouflage technology to shapeshift. The only way you can tell if a human is actually a mimic in disguise is if you shine an ultraviolet light into their eyes. If their eyes become brighter, then that’s a mimic.

(To kill a mimic, you have to hit its central processing unit. Typically, that unit is spread out, so you’d have to essentially destroy the entire mimic to kill it. However, the more human a mimic feels, the more its unit condenses into two specific areas: the middle of the chest and the head.)

What about the main cast?

All the same, surprisingly. The only differences are as follows:

•Adam is EXTREMELY well-built. Liam spent the most time on him, so his camouflage and modifying systems work without Adam having to think about it at all.

•Mimic!Cesar’s true form is different. I’ll be taking suggestions in my ask box for his design, and eventually there will be a poll. :] •Mark starts studying the mimics more before he kills them, and eventually that leads to him becoming interested in engineering. •Mimics are hand-built, but sometimes Lucifer just… slams some details in there. For no reason. The mimic’s designs are so extra.

•Cian likes to bake in this AU. Just a little detail! :] (he likes lemons.)

•The human Cesar always was a bit interested in the mimics. He was in Applied Technology all throughout middle and high school, but unfortunately he never got to actually see a mimic. I mean, he did, but it saw him first.

So, uh, yeah! That’s about it! Lemme know if you have any questions, and please have a wonderful rest of your day/night! Remember to drink water!

also is there a reason luci wont allow witness and daniel to switch jobs? wouldnt they be more efficient if they liked the role they took?

They would be, but the problem was that Daniel got attached to Adam (which you'll see later on in An Eye For An Eye), and Lucifer couldn't risk another attempt at an antichrist becoming attached in turn and turning against him. Easiest way to fix that was to remove Daniel from Adam and make Witness supervise the kid instead 👍

[mustangs-flames]

Thinking about Lucifer making the star that would guide the shepherds and wise men to Bethlehem because he wanted to do one last nice thing for his brother before killing him.

Just

thinking about that.

A lot.

Azrael: Bestie, it's 2009, having two dads is chill, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

Looking at whatever it is that Lucifer and Daniel/Nobody have going on makes it so clear why Adam is the way he is lmao

[mustangs-flames]

Lucifer took the "bringer of light" a little too literally

"Think fast, chucklenuts"

FLASHBANG

This is what Luci did to Daniel, real not clickbait
