[Labs!Rainbow appears on the cold floor, disoriented and frightened...in a flash, he's alert and on his fingers again. This place...is nothing like Viridis' home...]
*The place he's in is a hallway with white tile floor and white painted walls. The lights are far too bright. The air is cold. It smells of cleaning products, chemicals and blood...*
So I've been thinking about the Project Hybridize pov characters and..
(Ramble under cut)
The three of them have very different motivations for doing what they do.
With Gen, it's "Anything for the sake of knowledge."
With Mech, it's "Anything for the greater good."
With Vet, its "Anything to sate my curiosity."
But even with such different motivations, they still parallel each other.
Mech, when he first got into this, was only 17.
Mech and Gen both started with good intentions.
Gen didn't know what he was getting into.
Mech... kind of knew, but with one of the directors being his father figure, he thought that it was all for the greater good.
And, to an extent, he still thinks that.
And Vet always knew that what he was doing was bad, yet even he started with good intentions. He had been told it was a normal veterinarian job, and by the time he realized, he didn't feel like he could back out.
Its similar with Gen. He wasn't told what he was getting into, yet he feels like he can't lose this job.
He can't afford to lose the job at the lab, which is why he stays. He doesn't want to be there, but he feels like he has no other option.
And maybe, his morals will bend and break, like the others.
So. I've started working on another story and idk if im gonna post it but i wanna lore dump about my characters for it.
Its a Steve Legends au called Project Hybridize. It's about a lab trying to make steve hybrids using... questionably ethical... methods of experimenting.
(Lore dump under cut. Warning for violence + unethical experimentation)
So the two current main scientists are Geneticist Red (Gen) and Mechanic Orange (Mech).
Gen is a new employee who had just started working there a week before the story takes place. He is the only geneticist they have. He has his own little test room/office. He was assigned to be the new handler for Experiment 001, the first experiment they did, due to 001 mauling his previous handler.
Mech is the mechanic who works on creating cyborgs for the lab when the people leading the experiments decide they want something to be part robotic. He's oddly cheerful despite how gruesome his job can be sometimes. Hes also far smarter than he lets on. Both of his arms are robotic prosthetics. Hes missing his entire left arm, and below the elbow on his right arm. Despite him acting cheerful and innocent, he knows full well how unethical the lab is.
Aaand thats all I can say for now without major spoilers :p
Would anyone actually be interested in reading this if i posted it?
"Welcome to Project Hybridize, also known as the Hybridization Project." *Director Green explained calmly,* "At this lab, we pride ourselves on the quality of our main project, but also our smaller, secondary ones. We make sure everything is perfect."
*Mech and Vet both wave as greeting. Gen is nowhere to be seen, likely in his office, working.*
