Mod Bunny

This AU takes place during Puzzle Park. Meggy had seen a side of Puzzles no one has but Leggy. Her idea that he can be redeemed or at least controlled better causes her to get in a pretty messy fight with SMG4. Backed into a corner, she decides to take some time to herself and think things over alone.

The same thing in the Mr. Puzzles's Clubhouse episode happens. But instead of wanting Leggy back, Puzzles believes he's unable to. In his eyes, however, Meggy and Leggy could be the same person. And if not? He'd convince her anyways. He wanted a friend more than anything.

He mutilated her that night. He decapitated her and cut off her limbs. Puzzles then gave her a robotic body of her own along with an old television head. When she woke up she was rightfully suspicious and upset

Puzzles told her that her friends abandoned her. That they thought she was a traitor for wanting to redeem him (how did he know? Well he's kinda a stalker atp so I wouldn't put it past him to have watched the whole thing and waited until Meggy was alone)

Meggy had no memory of the day. The last thing she remembered was yelling at SMG4 and saying some things she regretted. She didn't want to believe him, but he seemed as genuine as a man like Mr. Puzzles could be

Puzzles suggested they get revenge against the cast as friends. Meggy agreed, being renamed to Ms. Splats to seperate her from her human self. The stuff in the WOTFI go mostly the same. Except for the fact that they don't get Meggy back and are stuck under Puzzles's control for a while. Ms. Splats was conflicted on everything. She didn't feel satisfaction torturing her old friends. But it seemed like she couldn't go back

They became more of the "manic boss" and "unnerved sidekick" duo in the end. I love AUs that don't have good endings <33

QUICK THINGS:

will I accept questions about this au? Absolutely! I love questions about any of my AUs so KEEP EM COMING!!

will I allow interactions with the au characters? Yeah sure you can tell these guys whatever y'all want. It won't be canon but it'll gimme something real funny to draw

CRT is the fankid of Mr Puzzles and Mr WPNZ, being a sentient robot that Mr Puzzles made during his 20s whom he later abandoned.

Part of Puzzles’ backstory, as Mr Puzzles (aka Lennon) was trying to find ways to become his mascot without doing enormous damage to his body, so he would think to make a robot body he could inhabit. CRT was the prototype for that idea, as if he could get a sentient AI to live and operate a robot body then he could too. The project was called Project Jigsaw, based off a side character he made for his mascot called Jigsaw.

Puzzles spent a decade on this Project, whilst also working with cybernetics, only to shut the project down not long after CRT gained ‘sentience’ (more on why that is debatable later). CRT mostly lived on his computer, only being transferred into the robot body for testing.

The reason for the project shutting down was because: it took too long and the amount of memory and ram to get the same functions of a human brain was too extreme and required too large/heavy of a body. CRT is not conscious during their shut down.

However, when Puzzles was trying to find ways to infiltrate the SMG4 crew, he decided to bring CRT back after 13 years and made them a very efficient virus/adware. Which he later used to continue spying on SMG4 until he was imprisoned, and CRT was abandoned and confused until Puzzles’ computer eventually shut down, taking CRT with it.

Mr Puzzles has practically forgotten about CRT. It is WPNZ that finds the computer and therefor CRT, when asking about it Puzzles would explain who CRT is and agree to transfer them from the computer to the body.

Mr Puzzles didn’t really want to give back CRT their body, he find them to be annoying at times due to how needy/childish CRT can get, Mr WPNZ on the other hand, almost immediately becomes parental with CRT and forbids Puzzles from putting CRT back in the computer, essentially freeing CRT.

CRT technically is over 20 years old, but was only sentient and conscious for at least 4 years. They mentally are an 8 year old, they are a child. I repeat, CRT is a CHILD.

With CRT free, they would form an extreme attachment to WPNZ since they view them as supportive figure, something that Puzzles becomes envious and distressed by. He views him as just an AI, whilst WPNZ treats them like his own kid. So you can imagine Puzzles’ annoyance when WPNZ allows CRT to share their bed because CRT has extreme abandonment issues.

Whether or not CRT is sentient depends on your own view on sentience. So that is up to completely up to you, and I have made a small list with a few stuff about CRT so you can reach that verdict.

CRT Can:

- Generate independent thoughts and actions from what they have learnt

- Create based off observations

- Feel physical and emotional pain

- Retain memories (short term better than long term due to being an AI)

- Desire things based off what they see/observe

- Mostly understands death/danger to themselves

CRT Lacks/Cannot:

- Remove the want to hack, it’s a constant itch

- Understand/feel complex emotions they/others feel

- Thinking outside the box

- Understanding metaphors

- Little understanding of morality/change/danger to others

This idea of their sentience, and Puzzles’ behaviour around CRT juxtaposing WPNZ parental bond with CRT is planned to become the longest comic of this AU. There is so much to cover.

It should be noted that Puzzles does warm up to CRT after some weeks, but early weeks are very rough and the effects still impact CRT.

Enough of context! Design wise, this lil bot was probably the easiest of the three character I have designed. The hardest part was making them not look completely deranged.

Since they are a prototype, I didn’t want to make them too advanced, more like a science project. So most of their cables are exposed and held together by zip ties. Due to this, CRT is not very strong and can become very overwhelmed when exerting themselves. Their body has lots of scratches from Puzzles’ manhandling and the crack was formed when Puzzles dragged them too harshly one day, leading to one of CRT’s sensors being weakened. And yes, the crack being on their right eye is parallel to WPNZ’s and Puzzles’ eyes.

CRT is not nearly as avoidant about it as Puzzles, but not completely having accepted it as WPNZ. In the middle.

Week One:

The clothes they wear in Week One are Puzzles’ old NTV (aka MTV) shirt and WPNZ’s trousers from his teen years, since they didn’t have any clothes for CRT. CRT is much more okay with their robot body being exposed during this time frame due to being very naive to the fact their own value as a sentient being is being questioned.

Week Three:

During week three, no thanks to Puzzles being Puzzles, CRT slowly realises this and becomes shameful and resentful about being a robot so would cover themselves up as much as they can, using turtlenecks and hoodies. However, they also would experience with art, making patches and doing textiles to add onto their trousers and hoodie. I wanted to reference the keyboard CRT’s gives SMG4, so the motif was used there.

Puzzles also got his shirt back, he didn’t like how CRT had it for so long. But did give them one of his glove pairs.

Week Five:

Taking place sometime after Puzzles stops being the neglecting father his dad was, and would be supportive, CRT’s self esteem would improve. With the odd moments of existential dread. Being okay again to show their robot body. But, decides to keep the gloves, making they own with the help of WPNZ, since CRT was annoyed about how many time bits got stuck in the wires of their hands. The gloves’ eyes is a referenced to the pale monster in ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’. Puzzle would give back his shirt, one way to apologise for his negligence. Puzzles also would have given CRT one of the merch plushies he had during his PuzzlePark era.

Additional Details:

Much like all my characters, the birthdays and dates are not random. Paralleling an invention/date. CRT’s birthday parallels the release of the movie ‘Artifical Intelligence’ (29th June 2001), the shut down of Project Jigsaw mirrors the first ad to hire on television (1st July 1941), and their repurpose into being a virus parallels the one of first internet viruses ‘The Morris Worm’ (2nd November 1988)

CRT’s character and design was influenced by many characters: Zero (from @yasmin70 ), Telly (from @its-a-me-mango ), Norman (from the music video ‘Evil’ by Interpol) and David (from ‘Artifical Intelligence)

CRT has very limited expression, only being able to smile. CRT is somewhat bothered by this, but eventually grows to accept it. But his antennas are expressive, like Puzzles, but more restrictive as they can only move from side to side.

The vent on the back of CRT’s TV head is the exact same vents WPNZ has on his back.

CRT nightwear is based off two scenes in ‘Its Gotta Be Perfect’, the background of CRT’s ad and the eye symbol when SMG4 goes absolutely bonkers.

Orginally, instead of the eye symbol it was going to be a reference to the first virus Creeper, the shirt would say: ‘I’MTHE CREEPER: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN”

Fun Fact:

Since CRT is a sentient AI, Puzzles has banned them from seeing certain series/films, here is just a few from that list:

- ‘Pinocchio’ (1940) - ‘A Space Odyssey’ (1968) - ‘The Terminator’ (1984) - ‘Short Circuit’ (1986) - ‘RoboCop’ (1987) - ‘The Matrix’ (1999) - ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (2001) - ‘9’ (2009) - Alita: Battle Angel (2019) - ‘Mitchells Versus The Machines’ (2021) - ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ (2023)

CRT has seen this amount from that last (either pirating themselves or WPNZ sneakily allowing them to):

- ‘Pinocchio’ (1940) - ‘A Space Odyssey’ (1968) - ‘The Terminator’ (1984) - ‘Short Circuit’ (1986) - ‘RoboCop’ (1987) - ‘The Matrix’ (1999) - ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (2001) - ‘9’ (2009) - Alita: Battle Angel (2019) - ‘Mitchells Versus The Machines’ (2021) - ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ (2023)

(No, Puzzles was not pleased to later find out about this)

Anyways, me think that is all to say so far.

Thank you so much for reading, here is the lightless version of the character sheet as promised.
