A note! Strain C and Strain D do NOT belong to me, they belong to @mephiles97 who has graciously let me use them. If you have more questions on how C and Ds work, pop over to them!! And check out Through the Looking Glass for more D and C stuff because that's where they're coming from!
A Strains:
Nickname from humans: Demons
Nickname from other Solvers: Bats
Nickname for Young strain A Solvers: Pups
Notable people that have it:
Jaelyn Doorman (AA)
Khan Doorman (a)
Nori Doorman (A)
??? (Ba)*
??? (Ab)*
AA (doubled)- bigger wings, bigger tail head...like, can't hide them big. Jae has to have hers hidden under her coat as she wraps them around her like a cloak. Her tail is more often than not tied around her waist or hiding under her desk gnawing on something. They are half again as tall as she is individually (she's nearly 5 feet)...so her wingspan is closer to being about 16 feet in length. S for comparison (7ft tall) has a wingspan of about 14/15 feet. Her tail's fangs are also bigger and sharper and more akin to hunting knives than glass shards. Strain As in JS also have their tails talking to them as soon as they start showing signs of infection regardless of their transformation state. It's a mental voice only they can hear (Jae's is already super chatty and she hasn't turned yet. It's that intrusive little 'We don't like her, we should totally bite her' moment when E's tormenting her...and is also the internal voice that was shrieking alongside Jae about 'dying' during the vision fits).
a (diluted)- has either wings or tail but not both. Still has the venom that all A strains have and the future visions.
A (regular)- See canon Uzi for wing size and tail size, also has neurotoxin venom.
Ab (Greater Hybrid)- has wings and tail and one or two reaper blades. Can displace themselves like two inches to the side via teleport. Also has visions of both past and future. Kids with this strain are dubbed "Oracles".
Ac (Greater Hybrid)-has wings and tail from Strain A and the eyes and claws from the strain C though they are more the size of DD claws. Aka...hi, here's the biomechanical Murder Drone. Kids with this strain are dubbed "Diablos"
Ad (Greater Hybrid)- has wings and tail from Strain A while a shadow limb or two and the pharyngeal jaws from Strain D. They are capable of minor illusions and can patchily cloak themselves to become camouflaged. They also have the Strain A neurotoxin and future visions. Kids with this strain are dubbed "Fiends".
B Strains
Nickname from humans: Reapers
Nickname from drones: Scissors
Nickname for young Strain B Solvers: Safety Scissors/Butter Knives
Notable People that have it:
??? (b) *
??? (Bd) *
??? (Ba) **
??? (Ab) **
BB (Doubled): Generally has about 6-8 Reaper Blades (insanely sharp 'bladed limbs' of 'invisible' air...will be tinged the same color as the Solver Drone's light that can fold back against the drone's back to make more a 'shield'...is strong enough to deflect bullets as we saw Doll deflect "Tessa's" shots) and they range from being smooth to serrated. They are able to see the past or force others to see the past as well as teleport multiple times within moments.
b (diluted): Will have two reaper blades at most, can teleport but at most a few inches to dodge a blow. Can still see the past/force others to see the past.
B (Regular): What I gave Canon Doll with a little flavoring from Kirie from Internecion Cube. Will have 4-6 Reaper blades and they are smooth, more like knives. Can Teleport and see the past/force others to see the past.
Ba (Greater Hybrid): Will have 4-6 Reaper Blades and can teleport like the others as well as have visions of both past and future. They will have wings OR tail much like a diluted strain A. These children are called "Oracles".
Bc (Greater Hybrid): Will have 4-6 Reaper Blades and can teleport like the others, can have visions of the past. Will have an optic array like the C strain does and claws about the size of a DD. They do not have a gun. These children are called "Spellshots"
Bd (Greater Hybrid): Will have 4-6 Reaper Blades and can teleport like the others, can have visions of the past. They have the D strain's pharyngeal jaws and are capable of creating minor illusions. These children are called "Wraiths"
C Strains
Nickname from humans: Marksman
Nickname from drones: Snipers
Nickname for young Strain C Solvers: Pistols
Notable People that have it:
Luke Sterling (c)
Emmett Sterling (Cd)
CC (doubled): ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE claws with knuckles that drag the ground. Can make both their arms go from claws to fleshy sniper guns rather than one or the other. Has an ocular suite much like a DD does.
c (diluted): can manifest claws about the size of a DD's, no gun. Debatable if they have the ocular suite as well (In JS they do, unsure about LG).
C (Normal): Claws are long enough the knuckles will brush the ground, one arm will become the C Strain's gun. They have the optical suite much like a DD does (JS after the first transformation will have these eyes permanently, LG is unknown and at Silver's discretion)
Ca (Greater-Hybrid): Claws are long enough that the knuckles will brush the ground, has the gun and eyes as well that is typical for a C strain. They have either the wings OR the tails of the Strain A and are capable of seeing visions. They also have the strain A Neurotoxin. These children are called "Diablos" just like their Ac counterparts.
Cb (Greater-Hybrid): Claws are long enough that the knuckles will brush the ground, has the gun and eyes as well that is typical for a C strain. These children are called "Spellshots" much like their Bc counterparts.
Cd (Greater-Hybrid): Claws are long enough that the knuckles will brush the ground, has the gun and eyes as well that is typical for a C strain. They have the D strain's pharyngeal jaws and one or two shadow limbs, though the latter will manifest post transformation. They are also capable of minor illusions or cloaking. These children are called "Trickshots"
D Strains
Nickname from humans: Ghosts
Nickname from drones: Spooks
Nickname for young Strain D Solvers: Boos
Notable People that have it:
Alice Sterling (d) (Note from old convo that I found funny: She didn't need mind fuggary in JS but here we are")
Beau Sterling (Dc)
??? (Bd) **
??? (d) *
DD (Doubled): Aura of System Shock is larger, able to effectively become invisible to both organic and inorganic life. Illusions are more realistic and cannot be seen through other than by another D Strain. They have more shadow limbs and their pharyngeal jaws' teeth are much larger (think almost as big as the ones we see on Eldritch J).
d (Diluted): Can cloak but it is very patchy and easily noticable, aura of System Shock is very small and can effect only a handful of people. Illusions are more akin to what Eldritch J showed at the beginning with 'Frank' and cannot be projected far. They have one or two shadow limbs and their pharyngeal jaws' teeth are smaller.
D (Regular): Able to project illusions around themselves and in general area. The lower oil level they have the more their 'mind fuggary' System Shock effects those around them ranging from headaches to full on fainting. They are able to cloak in plain sight only barely visible by small pieces of colored code. They are unable to be seen on camera. They have pharyngeal jaws that manifest soon after infection is visible though the shadow limbs are available after first 'transformation' (Note: This is for JS, LG has different reasoning!)
Da (Greater-Hybrid): Able to project illusions around themselves and in general area, are able to cloak themselves, have the typical shadow limbs that a D strain has and have the pharyngeal jaws. The also have wings OR tail from Strain A as well as the neurotoxin and future visions. These children are called "Fiends" much like their Ad counterparts.
Db (Greater-Hybrid): Able to project illusions around themselves and in general area, are able to cloak themselves, have the typical shadow limbs that a D strain has and have the pharyngeal jaws. They also have about two reaper limbs and can teleport just out of reach of a blow (a few inches) from their B strain parent. They also have the ability to see the past or force others to see the past. These children are called "Wraiths" like their Bd counterparts.
Dc (Greater-Hybrid): Able to project illusions around themselves and in general area, are able to cloak themselves, have the typical shadow limbs that a D strain has and have the pharyngeal jaws. They also have the C strain parent's claws, though they are about the same size as a Disassembly Drone's rather than the full C Strain's as well as the optical suite which appears after first 'transformation' upon reaching single digits and will remain with the Dc child much like their jaws do. (This is for JS, not LG). These children are called "Trickshots" like their Cd counterparts.
A Child with a Worker/Disassembler Parent and a Solver Parent that is diluted has a 50% chance of becoming a Solver Drone. Of that, there is a 50% chance that they gain the Normal form of the diluted Parent's strain. (So for example...a Worker and b Strain solver might have a B strain child).
A Child with two Solver parents will always either be a Doubled or Greater Hybrid.
Example: Jaelyn is an AA strain despite her father being a Diluted strain and her mother being a Normal strain. Emmett is a Cd strain despite both his parents being Diluted strains...Emmett exhibits Strain C dominant traits, Beau exhibits Strain D dominant traits.
In terms of oil consumption from Greatest to least:

aka...Jaelyn gets REALLY hungry REALLY fast (and also VERY hostile VERY fast) compared to say Beau who gets hungry but not so much as Emmett or Khan. Strain As and Strain Cs will fight each other for material as they both need it especially for first transformation.

(** Same as first mention)
Who are they? A bunch of idiots? The multiverse cleanup squad?Mentally detached goofs? Even I, the all-seeing narrator, have absolutely no idea!
Because... YOU! Yes, YOU! YOU are the key to this askblog working by asking, so...
ASK QUESTIONS!
Question everything! Anything! Because the options at this moment areeeee:
Papyrus / Influx! - the cool guy on the your left!
Chara / Lycora! - the silly person on their left!
Froks!... Friks? Frosk? Frisk? I have no idea, they're weird.
So go ahead! Be curious, do whatever- and most importantly, have fun!
