This is so oddly specific.

Also, everyone say hello to Printer Ink

brayer and stencil knife (to include screenprinting) turn into each other

eye-lights are based on printer/scanner buttons

gray is his neutral color instead of brown as another nod to CMYK ink cartridges instead of paint vials (that's tubing in his mouth)

scarf is ribbon cable

uses he/they/it but also uses colors as neopronouns

wearing a tablet glove, happi (kanji for ink on back) over juban, painting coveralls over tattsuke-bakama, and tengu geta (to match festival mask)

Now, to explain how Ink's paints were translated to CMYK:

Cyan is for lamentation– disappointment, fatigue, grief, hurt– magenta is for repulsion– contempt, disapproval, disgust, offense– and yellow is for gratification (appreciation, comfort, fun, satisfaction.

Red (M+Y) is for motivation– aggression, agitation, enthusiasm, tension– green (C+Y) is for interest– attachment, curiosity, desire, inspiration– and blue (C+M) is for aversion– fear, guilt, shame, worry.

Black, put simply, is for sensitivity– not just in a sympathetic sense, but also overall reactivity or situational awareness.

If saturation determines how expressive Print can be, brightness determines how distant. Print can function in grayscale, they'll just range from detached to dissociated; but if they run out of black too, that's when they become completely unresponsive.

Once I work out more of its personality, I might try playing Print in TVB's server whenever Ridwan is unavailable to join the hells chats.

I'm 1000 pages into a 3000 page toner cartridge, and it's saying I have less than a third left. At current usage rates, I'll be lucky to break 1500. I'm sorry, but that does NOT round to 3000.
